They do now, just make sure you get the bike checked thoroughly when you get it.
Them offering C2W is not a good thing, good for them only, their margin on bikes are so low, after the C2W commission cut, shops loose money.
Pretty much squeezing out small independents and going direct BUT happy to let Evans and Halfords sell in bulk.
This is not new, in the height of the pandemic, we got our allocation slashed to 3 for the year (Yup, 3 for the year!) and I sent a customer to +sbbohr to get their bike.
3 bikes a year, let that sink in.

I wasn't aware that shops paid a commission just to use the scheme, might just wait for something to come up second hand instead.

Sjs only did well on Bromptons because we had 120 in stock prior; Brompton have completely fucked shops and customers by selling direct, factory build is poor, shops loose out, people buying the wrong bike because lack of test ride etc.
We went months with no bikes in stock at all.

I echo this, I wanted to give them a go but my c2w scheme wasn't supported by them, that being said they were willing to let me try whichever bike I wanted, and even encouraged me to try a few others whilst I was there. I stopped by one evening after work.
