They were pricing up stuff when the coupons were available, but I looked back on my orders, and the line item (after coupon) cost was still a fair bit less then the prices now. I also noticed that some items were simply not available, like the Aeron hot weather jerseys...all summer.

We'll see, I am hesitant to change bib brands from dhb at least because I know they fit me right, and the pads have been solid. Moving up to premium brands would cost 2-3x more too.
This is what came to note here. Used to be $50 worth of stuff would get you free shipping, now it's $106 (about 81 GBP). Regular shipping is $16. My wife and her German friend send each other packages several times a year. Used to be an already expensive $50 from USPS for a medium flat rate box, now they're quoting over $75! Wonder if COVID-19 and shipping disruptions have caused Wiggle to change their pricing structure. As a counter-point, I got an order from xxcycle in France shipped for maybe $10 or so.
