Never heard of them price matching each other. Throw in a fluctuating euro and good luck with that.

I've had CRC price match in the past - I believe they 'reserve the right' not too.

I'm doubtful too, but seeing if anyone has had any luck.

Not a price match, but I use Alltricks in France a bit now which are just as cheap if not cheaper and delivery to UK is as fast or faster than CRC. Plus you can get free shipping if you don't mind using UPS collection service (where you pick up from a local shop, which is more convenient for me anyway).

Problem with some German places (and I'm guessing you'll be talking about bike-discount), is they obviously use DHL. They're super speedy and efficient in Germany and get onto a flight the same day. Then they sit in Heathrow for a week until someone can be bothered to deliver it.

There's not much point - just get it from whoever is cheapest whose aftersales you trust.

Depends what you're after. Evans generally do pricematch. We (Bird) will match on things like forks/reverbs etc. for aftermarket products.

bike-discount will price match in germany I think and they use DPD and DHL, I always use DPD. I just buy from the cheapest place and only price match evans if they have in a local shop stock
