Bike fix

Easy to book the appointment, service to your door. Bike exchanged immediately.
I am taking a star of as the staff member who came around did not say a single word to me or my husband and just proceeded to do the job. I asked some questions and he said to wait for explanation.. that unfortunately never came. He then asked me for a signature without explaining what it was for.
Quite poor communication skills really

Hi Kristýna,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that the booking process was easy and that your bike was exchanged so quickly right at your door.

However, we sincerely apologize for the lack of communication during the appointment. While our team always aims to be fast and efficient, ignoring your questions and asking for a signature without explaining what it was for is definitely not the standard of service we strive for. Friendly and clear communication is just as important as getting the job done!

We will definitely take on this feedback to ensure this doesn't happen again. If you still have any unanswered questions about your new bike or the swap, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team, we'd be more than happy to explain everything properly.

We hope the new bike is riding smoothly!

Best regards,
Team Swapfiets

Helpful and Kind

I passed by twice, once without an appointment and I just wanted to see if the bike is too high for my height and they were very kind to let me sit on one.
I then ordered my bike online and got scheduled my appointment, it went all pretty smooth Virginia was so helpful and kind. Amazing service and great quality bikes

I rent a bike from Swapfiets and I’ve had a really good experience so far. The service has been reliable, and the bike itself has been excellent, comfortable, well-maintained, and perfect for getting around.

I also want to give a special mention to Virginia, who was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Great customer service like that really makes a difference.

Overall, I’m very happy with Swapfiets and would definitely recommend it.

Really friendly service

Really friendly service. Today I had my free Spring service at Commercial St. I can’t remember their names sadly but the two who were working today really provided an excellent level of customer interaction. Free coffee is also a great idea whilst you wait!

Great products and customer service

Very happy with both the bikes I used as well as the customer service in store.
I went during working hours so the shop wasn't busy and I got staff attention very promptly.
I was especially pleased with how knowledgeable, friendly and cheerful Virginia was on both of my visits so far.

It was an easy and quick experience getting my bike swapped over for another one (at home) after getting a puncture.
I would have given 5 stars if the wait hadn't been 4 days for someone to come to mine to swap over the bikes. Not sure how you can get a massive bike with a puncture to Shoreditch if you need your repair/replacement quicker, but the process on the day was very smooth and easy.

Hi there,

Thank you for your review!

We are glad to hear that the actual swap process was easy and quick once you were at the store. However, you make a very valid point: pushing a heavy bike with a flat tire all the way to Shoreditch is a workout nobody wants, especially when you have to wait a few days for a slot!

We are constantly working to improve our appointment availability to minimise that downtime and hassle in the future.

Enjoy the ride.

I was charged an extra £5 after my…

I was charged an extra £5 after my automatic payment failed unexpectedly. The earlier email didn’t clearly state any repayment timeframe, yet I was still hit with an added fee. I was also told my account could be referred to debt collection with a £40 surcharge; wildly disproportionate for a single missed payment after 5+ years as a loyal customer. The charges aren’t clearly visible on the website either.

But the worst part: I called (Dutch and UK) support in both cases the representative was not willing to even care at all. For the Netherlands, she refused to give me their name, told me everyone “sits in the same room” and that nobody would make an effort to help anyway, then hung up on me. Completely unacceptable and shocking conduct for a Dutch company’s NL/UK support team.

If a more senior customer support representative from Swapfiets decides to check the Dutch review, it was conducted on the 23rd of February 2026, approximately 10:35-40AM, speaking to an english-speaking woman.

Edit: I was e-mail back with a quotation from their general terms & conditions, that DOES NOT specify the amounts that will be added. Creating arbitrary fees not specified in the contract is illegal, and this is a shake-down. Unacceptable for a Dutch company.

Hi Sven,

Thank you for your feedback.

We have previously explained the situation regarding the late payment process and the applicable fees in our email correspondence. We refer to our General Terms & Conditions for the details regarding our payment procedures.

Regarding your contact with our support team, we value respectful communication at all times. As we have already provided all necessary information directly, we consider this matter closed.

Hi Tom,

It is great to hear your Power 7 is holding up so well after months of solid winter use, it really is built to handle these harsher winter conditions and keep you on the road for a long time!

We are also happy to hear our team could help you with a quick adjustment in a friendly and efficient way.
