Great service from start to finish!

So pleased with every aspect of this company! I got a great deal on a bike that it in fantastic condition. They delivered to my home within 2-3 days and the courier they used was absolutely lovely. The customer service over the phone and email was excellent, which seems like it's becoming harder and harder to find these days.

Poor

Shit show of a company left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Then they have the audacity to not even accept responsibility after their own mistake. Stay clear!
Lets provide some clear context here seeing as you are still lying to make yourselves look better.....on 2 occasions I said I thought I needed a L as previous bikes had always been a L including the bike I was exchanging, however your recommendation was a M which I went with due to not knowing the brand. The day after delivery when I attempted to use the bike I realised it was too small, I contacted yourselves straight away & was made to feel as though this was my fault but I had only been guided by yourselves regarding sizing. Lie number 1, you did not offer a L that same day, you only ordered the large after the M was picked up...11 days later! Lie number 2, the L had not even arrived from Spain when you are trying to say that the M was needed back before the L could be sent, it wasn't even in the country at this point! Lie number 3, I was not rude or abusive to your staff I was frustrated from.being lied to over & over again! Lie number 4, you did not go above & beyond to resolve this matter, you did not keep me informed I didn't even get a reply from you for 9 days & that was just to say that the M was getting collected! The biggest red flag of all was when I received my original bike back & you have swapped my wheels & tyres & have enof even given me the decency to reply back over this matter. This could be evidenced by emails. So yes stay clear.

Hi Derek,
To provide some context to our customers who read these reviews, we gave you a recommendation on bike size based on your height which was in line with other websites. You found the bike too small for you so we arranged collection of the bike from you and reordered a larger size for you the same day. These are a special order from Orbea as they were brand new, so not something we hold in stock. We covered the costs of the shipping back and forth. We kept you informed of the collection date. We advised you that we needed the bike back before we could release the new bike. From the outset you have been rude and abusive to our staff which is not acceptable behaviour particularly as we were going above and beyond to resolve the matter for you.
