They will make it right

The seller had accidentally sold the bike I bought a few hours prior to my purchase. The BikeFair team arranged that a replacement was found without either party losing out in the end. Thanks so much!!

Hello Franky,

First of all, we're sorry the first ride did not go as you expected.

As we also discussed on the phone soon after (and then several times in the next days as we organised), based on the photos of the damage we received, BikeFair and two other independent experts (bike shop owners) confirmed that the damage on the bike - a bent derailleur with its part even completely broken off - was caused by uncareful handling and excessive force during shifting, rather than a defect of the bike itself.

The seller, a new partner on our marketplace, has nevertheless eventually agreed to compensate half of the repair cost, and once we told them about your review & detailed situation, even agreed to cover the full cost of repair as they wished to start their presence on our platform on a positive note. Even though it is not our usual practice, this is what we agreed on together.

And that's also what happened: we organised the repair with another partner shop nearby you and the seller eventually fully paid for the repair, even though it was not their obligation.

While this remnant of the past of a review remains here, we hope that at least you are now happy with your bike and it will do you a great service in the years to come!

Wish you a great day,

Jan

I had a good experience with Bikefair

I had a good experience with Bikefair. Craig was very helpful and responsive. I bought a bike from their website but the seller didn’t respond so Craig went through similar bikes in the website and sent me the options in an email. He even compared two options and helped me to decide. Shipping was very quick as well. I will absolute recommend bikefair if you are after a used bike. They are truely a five-star business.

Very smooth experience

Very smooth experience. After weeks of monitoring the site I found a bike that fit my exact criteria, bought it, and it was delivered the next day (with excellent communication from the courier). The listing was accurate and the bike is great.

BikeFair is one of the best experiences…

BikeFair is one of the best experiences I've had with customer service in the Netherlands. Coincidentally, I was purchasing a new bike for my daughter at the same time I was purchasing a bike for myself on BikeFair. The experiences were so completely different, let's just say I will ONLY be purchasing bike from BikeFair from this point forward.

Perfect for selling/buying a bike safely!

I recently sold my eBike through BikeFair, and my experience was very positive! Safety was my top priority with such an expensive sale, and BikeFair's measures (buyer verification and secure deposit) gave me the peace of mind that I could not get from other traditional platforms.
Craig was super responsive in answering my questions and shared helpful tips for the handover. Highly recommend to anyone buying or selling a bike 😊

Eventually not worth it

re their mission and vision,

This company is highly responsive to inquiries, always helpful, and readily available to address any issues or concerns. I genuinely admire their mission and vision, especially their commitment to supporting local businesses, which was a key factor.

However, a year later, I spent even more on repairs for the bike I purchased. Unfortunately, it has turned into a money pit and is not worth the money and time I have invested since buying the bike.

Hello
Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of your experience of BikeFair. We are always pleased to receive feedback as it's the way we learn and improve as an organisation.

It's great to read your positive feedback on the service you received from BikeFair and that you are a supporter of our mission.

We're sorry to hear that your bikes' required maintenance is costing you more than you expected. The wear and tear on a bike's components through general use over a year, particularly a used bike, does mean that components will always need to be maintained and sometimes replaced.

We genuinely do want to support our customers on every step of their bike journey, please provide us with your order number and we are happy to help provide information on BikeFair approved bike repair stores in your area and advice on how to maintain your bike to reduce the likelihood of expensive repairs in the future.

Wishing you a wonderful new year
Craig

Christmas bike gift

I have bought a bike from Rome on Bike fair website, It has arrived on time for Christmas (it's a present)
And I has been professionally assisted during all the time by Craig, who has followed up my order since the beginning. I highly recommend this website!

dishonest ads

Update: bikefair again telling a very incomplete story. After I shared this feedback below directly over email the team apologised but told me there was nothing they could do for me. Only after I explained that this was insufficient as a response (doing nothing) and I explained that I would write a review (and did) did bikefair provide a discount or attempt to contact me by phone. Too little too late, not worth your time...the entire premise of bikefair is to not have to have this hassle and provide a guarantee (presumably why they have a role in taking the pictures and posting the ads). If you can't provide this service you don't offer any value to the customer.
....
, I had a negative experience and the seller claims that you misrepresented the bike, noting that you wrote the description of the bike (explicitly stating that bike fair takes the pictures and writes the description). Which included numerous things that were not part of the bike including
1. New brake cables (there weren't)
2. Dynamo light (there weren't)
I had to negotiate with the seller to put in the cables but her refused to put in the light.
All together this was a bad experience and I won't be using your service again because the basic premise is to provide assurances of what one is buying.

Hello Jesse,

First of all, we're sorry about your negative experience. We do our utmost best to simplify the bike purchase and ownership as much as possible but, as a marketplace dealing with many people and vendors, not always are we able to pre-emptively clear every single bump on the road that occurs. In case any issue comes up, though, we always do all we can to help afterwards.

Now to be fair what you wrote is, as we see it, a rather incomplete story. While we indeed occasionally provide help to some vendors with photographing, the final content of the listing is always the seller's responsibility as they are the ones storing, servicing, and ultimately selling the bike. The listings HAVE TO correspond with reality - else we hold the seller liable for misleading ads. This is clearly communicated to all our partners, stands in our guidelines and Terms.

In your case, this did not entirely happen: the seller indeed advertised that the bike was supposed to have new brake cables and dynamo while this wasn't true, and their reaction to you pointing this out was also far from optimal at first.

We unfortunately only found out about the discrepancy after all was done through your email, which is a pity, as we weren't able to intervene earlier as we would like. We immediately contacted the seller nonetheless to request an explanation and solution.

As far as we heard from the seller, at the physical hand-over, they first pointed fingers to everywhere but themselves (they did the same with us, actually), but eventually apologized and exchanged the brake cables on the spot. They were not able to install the dynamo, though, and offered to cancel the sale anyway if you wish. You decided to accept the bike and conclude the sale nonetheless.

Based on our follow-up prompt they apologized again, admitted that the mistake was theirs and despite already having a closed agreement, they provided an additional €15 discount (from already a significantly discounted bike) as a compensation, which was refunded to your account.

Well aware the whole transaction didn't go as it was supposed to, so we also tried to contact you several times via email and phone to get detailed information and draw further consequences if necessary, unfortunately all our attempts went without answer.

In case you ever find the time, we'd appreciate if you contact us on team@bikefair.nl or +31850027787 to provide further detail about your experience, so that we can better avoid similar things from happening to anyone else.

Wish you a wonderful day and many happy kilometers on your bike,

Jan

Exceptional Service and Seamless International Purchase Experiencey

I recently purchased a bicycle from BikeFair while I was still in Colombia, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the process was seamless and incredibly satisfying.

Why was it such a good experience?
The entire experience was excellent because BikeFair made the international purchase straightforward and hassle-free. The user-friendly website allowed me to select and purchase my bike effortlessly from Colombia. Upon my arrival in the Netherlands, the bike had already been delivered, perfectly matching my expectations and needs.

What did this company do well?
BikeFair's outstanding service and prompt delivery were truly impressive. Their team was not only efficient but also remarkably friendly and accommodating. They kept me informed throughout the process, ensuring I knew exactly when and where my bike would arrive. Additionally, the bike was securely packaged and arrived in perfect condition, ready to ride.

In summary, BikeFair provided an outstanding customer experience with their professionalism, reliability, and excellent communication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a bicycle, whether locally or internationally. Thank you, BikeFair, for making my purchase so enjoyable and stress-free!
