This could have easily been a much lower rating!

This could have easily been a much lower star review. When I opened the box I noticed the saddle was damaged. The packaging had come off and it had rubbed against the tire during transit. I had ordered a spare inner tube, which wasn't included in my delivery. When I pumped up the tires ready for my first ride you could hear air coming out of the front tire and 20 mins later the back tire was also flat with a slower puncture. I took the bike to Halfords who charged me £16 to fit 2 new inner tubes. I emailed customer care and sent a photo of the saddle and a picture of my Halfords receipt. They replied straight away, they refunded the £16 immediately, and 2 days later I received the inner tube and a new saddle which was better than the one the bike came with. The customer care service at bikes2udirect was excellent. I would recommend using this company. They are excellent value and if there is a problem they sort it out straight away. Amazing customer service.

used parts with new bike

After receiving delivery of a new bike which had used damaged parts. I contacted the customer care team immediately. However due to bank holiday weekend I was unable to get through. I left a message on their website and someone contacted me first thing on the next working day.

I explained my issue and that a used damaged pedal had been sent out with the bike. The person I spoke to was very helpful and understanding and agreed to send out replacement parts immediately.

The bike I brought has come straight from the manufacture and I have left bikes 2 u to deal direct with them.

Unhappy with the bike being sent with damaged parts but happy with how quick bikes 2 u were able to resolve the situation.

Ridgeback traditional bike

Ridgeback traditional bike bought Monday, arrived next day well packaged and in perfect condition. Easy to re-assemble from the box and even came with a free pump. Happy customer thanks

STAY AWAY.................... TERRIBLE COMPANY........ AVOID!!!!!!!

I have never experienced the most shocking, rude, un-apologetic, personally really scary/demanding/ condescending tone of telephone voice. I warn anyone to stay away from this company. Let me fill you in with history regarding their trading. They sell bikes but at no point do they ever open the bikes they are selling. They buy the bikes from a manufacturer who in turn don't open these bikes also but buy them from a third world country. At no point do they know the standard of bikes they are selling. I have had months of terrible experience with them via email and relentless telephone calls from them, I had to block their number in the end. Thank you to Trustpilot for giving a great platform to people share their experience, great job Trustpilot . I hope bikes2udirect learn from your great customer service skills :) Still to this date (20/05/19) they keep complaining to Trust Pilot for me to adapt my review. They want to control what people say about them. Unfortunately it is the truth and it will always prevail over the way they think they can get away with treating their customers. I'm so happy that i have helped so many people with my review. I was a victim of this company and don't wish anyone to go through the same experience or god forbid worse. Which i can imagine is very possible and from reading everyone else review I can see has happened. Remember STAY AWAY.................TERRIBLE COMPANY....................... AVOID!!!!!!!

GREAT COMPANY, GREAT SERVICE

Great price and delivery came on time - but delivery driver very rude and dismissive. Had also damaged bike by dropping it. Phoned Bikes2UDirect, couldn't have been more apologetic or helpful though it was not their fault. Courier collected damaged bike (though they could have just sent the parts) and new bike arrived in time for daughter's b'day. Thoroughly recommend them. Will buy again

Excellent experience

Excellent experience. You never really know how good a company is until you encounter a problem. Every aspect of our experience with this firm was great and when we encountered a small issue with one part, they sorted this extremely fast and courteously, which surprised me given what good value the bike was in the first place. Highly recommend this company.

Top Service!

I ordered a bike a couple of days before Christmas for my son and asked to collect. Bikes 2U were really helpful calling me straight away to help me arrange collection. When I got there they had everything ready to go and even refunded me £5 for collecting, for which I had an email confirming before I got back to my car!
Top service.

Poor customer service

I had an issue with the bike delivered (a boy's bike delivered for Christmas), one of the pedals would not fit properly. Bikes2udirect blamed me and would not remedy the problem. An issue with distance selling that you can do nothing about a lack of customer service. Cheaper prices are not worth it if you have to take it to a local bike shop to fix defective parts, I won't buy from them again.

Great customer service

I ordered a bike from here. The basket was broken and the crank arm needed replacing as it had no threads to screw the pedal into. This was something that was not seem by the company before but immediately replied to my complaint and sent replacement parts and are on their way. Tools to repair included.

Happy customer

I bought a Raleigh Chic size 20 wheel online from Bikes2udirect on Monday morning and it arrived at 4pm today for zero delivery cost which is amazing given the size of the box! It was in perfect condition, well packaged and easy for my husband to put together (front wheel, pedals, handlebar, saddle and he set the brakes too). Great communication from customer service team and at a really good price (way cheaper than my local bike store). In summary, if you don’t mind putting in a bit of work building the bike then it’s a very cost effective and convenient way to buy a bike. We will be back when our daughter outgrows it in a few years. Many thanks 😊

Avoid this place like the plague

Avoid this place like the plague. Bike arrived damaged - poorly packaged with pump loose in box scraping all metalwork. Order process does not make clear that you have to assemble the bike - put on pedals, handlebars, seat post - and no assembly instructions included. Very poor after-sales response from the very aggressive and patronising so-called Customer Services Manager

Fantastic after sales, replacment part on my doorstep in 20 hrs

I bought a bike for my son last christmas, so almost a year ago, the crank bearing cage failed, i thought it would be easier to go to my local shop which never have anything in as usual, so gave bikes2udirect and spoke to ben, he helped find which size bearing it was and it was on my doorstep 20 hours later, fantastic after sales and service, couldnt be easier.
