chris willemse vs cwc online

[newbie234]

Guys, I had no idea that chris willemse cycles and cwc online are two independant businesses, especially since under "contact us" on the website they give the physical address of the store in Tygervalley.

 

Is this common knowledge?

 

the reason for asking this is that on saturday morning i travelled some thirty kilometers looking for an entry level road bike wheelset knowing that cwc online advertise the shimano wh500 for R800-00. I was shown the wheelset by the assistant who then conferred with another guy on the price and I was told the set was R1200-00. I then said the website advertised it for R800-00 and was told that i would have to buy directly through the website because they weren't one and the same and that he didn't know what prices Chris Jr. advertises at.

 

Needless to say I did not buy the wheelset and although I now accept that cwc online and chris willemse cycles are two separate entities I do feel a bit misled by the website. perhaps the guys running the site could clear this up to avoid future confusion?

that is strange cos i bough some ultegra pedals advertised online at the store for the same price in the store. I also thought they were one and the same

I also sometimes get that, but just insist to speak to Chris junior.  If he is not there, show them the prices online.   They do sometimes try to 'upsell' so to speak.  I usually email a request to them, get an amail reply from junior, print it out and take it with me.  Same shop, same salesmen, different price.

 

Used car sales tricks I call it, but it's worth the haggling in the end!

ouens, die ding was dan nou die dag so in diepte bespreek toe daai Distributer "Brendon" hulle account geclose het, en toe verduidelik is dat daar 2 shops is.

 

 

 

Sukkel julle met engels of afrikaans?

[Willehond]

...ek sukkel met deur 110de bladsye van boring mudslinging blaai.  Maar dankie, ek sal ma print en email.  Werk vir my!

I was told, print the price from the website and bring it In with to the shop. then you got proof. N.B. Phone or email chris jnr first, to c if they have STOCK.

Ja, he is prolly too busy out training to keep stock current.  Anyway, where is he at the moment?  Out training or what and who is the new sponsor?  Definitely did not see them at the CObra...

the haggling didn't work for me. I was told to buy directly through the website or pay R1200-00. but enough about that, I just wanna know if they're the same or not.

i was also told a few months back to print the webpage and must admit i did not do so on this occasion. nevertheless, this option was not given to me in the store. besides, could it be so hard to keep a list of the web prices, they haven't changed in months?

Guys, just got a call from Chris Willemse Snr. who explained the situation to me. CWC online and Chris willemse Cycles are two distinct entities. However, because of confusion, the arrangement is that customers who went to the store on the basis of something advertised on the website would be given the item at the website price. So I guess you guys are right, call/ mail Chris Jr. to avoid confusion. Thanks and thanks to Chris Willemse Snr for clarifying the issue.
