Only part of the ordered items arrived, not in a box but stuck together with adhesive tape (entirely due to the mail company). Unfortunately I had made some mistakes when ordering, so I had to provide... See more

Finally I found some mudguards that fit in the front fork with the added adapters. Riding a lot in the rain the last days without getting wet from the splashing water.

Quick and without any problems

I made a fairly big order of clothing. Everything was delivered very quickly and the things that I returned where refunded the same day they arrived at the storage.

Mudguards that fit

Finally I found some mudguards that fit in the front fork with the added adapters. Riding a lot in the rain the last days without getting wet from the splashing water.

Quality control Nonexistent

Quality control Nonexistent. Atrocious customer service.
Received a bike that was so badly warped on the front fork that it was impossible to put the front wheel in.
Customer service completely unreachable.
What a joke that you can spend hundreds of euros and be given such poor customer service.

Response:
I have received no such contact from the warranty team.

We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the service. Due to the high volume of business, it may take longer than average to answer our emails. Of course we do our best to answer all requests as soon as possible and offer an appropriate solution. I see that our waranty team already started the contact with U.
With kind regards,

Bike broken within a year and no repair or replacement

I bought a brand new bike and the crankshaft broke within the first year. Bikester only offered 25 EUR to have it repaired, whereas the actual cost is more around 100 EUR. When I pointed this out, they stopped responding to my messages. After various reminders from my part, they finally replied that the crankshaft only has a 6 month guarantee. However, their general conditions mention a 2 year guarantee with no specific exclusions. When I asked what their claim was based on, they never answered. I’m now left with a brand new bike that’s unusable after one year, and no solution whatsoever in sight. Unfortunately, Bikester takes no responsibility for its faulty products, and does not respect the two year guarantee. I would think twice before ordering anything with them.

We're sorry to hear about this situation. Unfortunately the crankshaft and chain you mention in your e-mails fall under the 6 month warranty. As stated in the manual received upon delivery of the bike, any problem or defect with those parts that is not caused by a manufacturing fault but comes from usage of the product, fall under 6 months warranty and not 2 years. We refer back to the last e-mail our colleague sent in January.
With kind regards,
Your Bikester team

Customer service lacking

We ordered a bike trailer from their website. The price was competitive and the item was delivered on time. Unfortunately there was a problem with the quality of the item and the plastic screen ripped from its stitches after a few days. Customer services offered a raincover as compensation, which was not sufficient for me as the trailer was quite expensive. I have not received any further messages from them since despite multiple attempts to contact them. I have even contacted the manufacturer who said they would replace the defective part but the request must come from bikester. I have sent this information to bikester and heard nothing back. I would say this website is absolutely fine to shop on, as long as you don't have a problem. Maybe stick to cheaper items.

Edit: spare part was eventually received two months after the initial complaint, but I still wouldn't like to have to deal with the customer service again.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Of course it is not the intention that you receive a damaged product.

We see that we have send you a spare part and assume you have received this in good condition. We hope you can enjoy your bike trailer now.

Very reliable

Very reliable, great service. Had to change/return products several times, and it all worked without any problems.

Terrible Costumer Service, Buy Elsewhere

A lovely bike but broke within a week of using it! Costumer service has been appalling, I have been waiting 2 weeks for them to reply to me now! My advice, just buy elsewhere!

We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your experience with us. Due to an unprecedented high amount of orders, we are currently processing a high amount of customer contacts. Unfortunately we need a bit more time than usual to answer our mails.

We sincerely apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced due to this processing delay. This is not our working standard, therefor we do our best to catch up the delay in response as soon as possible. We hope we can still be of service to you in the future.

Parcel hasn’t arrived

Parcel hasn’t arrived. Hermes doesn’t recognise the tracking number I was given by Bikester and Bikester has ignored multiple emails requesting an update. Really crap service.

Good & fast delivery

Everything was delivered nicely & properly protected.
Bike was in line with expectations & specs.
Only downside was the 5EUR discount code that did not work while placing my order. Can´t say that they did not want to accept it as I did not complain about it. Guess it is just a technical glitch so I placed my order as I did not want to wait.

Where is my bike.....?

Where is my bike.....?
I ordered a bike on 16 May. I was first told that it would take 11-15 days for my package to be delivered. I was then told that it may be 15 days before being dispatched. Finally i was told that it may be up to 15 working days before being dispatched. Its now been 17 working days (and 24 days) and stil no dispatch. They don't reply to emails and there isn't a telephone number thagt works. Do they actually have any bikes or are they just a scam company?
