Anyone else had this same issue?

I ordered a Fox Flux 2011 Skid Lid on Monday, at a bargain advertised price of £45.50. 10+ showing in stock in my size & colour, so there should be no issue?

3 days later, the order has still not been processed and Wiggle have suggested I should have opted for their priority despatch service at £3.99 if I wanted it quickly.

A day after ordering, I noticed the price went back up to £70, to correspond with their 15% off promotion. No problem, I got in just in time then..

Today I look and all Fox lids, 2010, 2011 and Womens have all been discontinued?????

Any ideas anyone? I smell a rat!

It's not just you. I ordered a brake adapter next day delivery on Tuesday. Still not dispatched.

EDIT: Hang on, it was CRC 😳

After 5 days and a message reminding them of the presence of Hampshire Trading standards, it was finally despatched!

They never did reply to the message I sent and still no explanation why they discontinued them all. 😯

All Fox gear has vanished from the site.

Wonder why?

it's the Fox Hunting ban you see, people were chasing it and they had to put the fox into witness protection

I reckon it should have been some older ones that they were trying to clear. Someone probably got their ass kicked for selling the new stock off cheap!

I did notice that when the 2011 models went back up to full price, they 2010 models were reduced to £45.00

And then there were none...

IIRC fox is one of the very few firm that tries to keep afloat the local distributors. Hence they are very strict about traders and evil such as CRC and Wiggle.

The sizing was all wrong - the helmets were too tight, giving customers Fox Flux Ache.
