We offer a no quibble guarantee and if you are unhappy with your purchase you can return it for a full refund. We recommend talking to us in normal operational hours which are 8.15am to 4:45pm Monday to Friday.

I purchased two Schwalbe Rocket Ron 27.5 x 3.0 tyres, at a more than reasonable price. My order arrived next day delivery, as advertised, great. Unfortunately, when I arrived home from work, only one was in the box even though two was on the invoice. I rang first thing the next morning. The chap I spoke to was totally helpful. He confirmed that the picking staff must've not read the order properly and packed just one. The other was still on the shelf and he had that sent out next day delivery as well. I think that is impeccable service and now check the Simply bike stuff website first now, to see if they have stock, if I want to purchase something for one of my bikes. You get a good impression of a company, not when orders go to plan but when something goes wrong. A performance like that deserves reward.

Avoid

I purchased a bike for my 5yo Daughter's main Christmas gift from an indoor market in Birmingham, I wasn't planning on making a purchase from Simply Bike Stuff as I've never heard of the company before, and despite the team slating the quality of bike's from giant companies, they were so friendly and (what appeared) professional, I decided to hand my money over.

I asked if the Bike could be delivered assembled, not because I'm incapable, but because I'm pregnant, the team responded with how light weight and simple the bike is to put together, and to do this over a glass of wine Christmas eve and to enjoy the experience and build up to my Daughters reaction Christmas morning.

So, Christmas eve is where the fun started, I unpacked the box and surprise surprise, no instructions, missing material and the thread on one pedal was faulty. Absolutely gutted, not just for the money I'd spent or the time wasted, but for my Daughter not having the bike she deserved.

Details of my first email below:
25/12/21 time: 00:18

By no means was I expecting a reply till early January, my email was to give an insight into my situation and frustration on what should have been a magical time. The fact I have since been ignored is completely unacceptable. After waiting for a resolution from Simply Bike Stuff, and storing the Bike for almost 3 months, I decided over the weekend to take the bike to our local recycling centre.

Like some other reviews, the team will most likely use the excuse that no emails were received, so to clarify, I successfully received my cash receipt on the 21st November from admin*****************com, the same email address I have used to contact the team about our faulty bike.

Readers, make your own mind up.

RESPONSE to Simply Bike Stuff submitted 08/03:

So, you have a destressed customer emailing you on Christmas eve, telling you that one of your bike's had missing instructions, missing parts, and had a manufacturing fault, you didn't deem this worthy of a reply in January? because, and I quote, "The email I sent didn't really explain what action I wanted you to take"

To openly admit this publicly shows your lack of professionalism and your offensive customer care approach. To even suggest that recycling the faulty bike without making contact (?) is extreme on my part is beyond insulting. I made you aware of the fault and issues and you admittingly did nothing. Who in their right mind would keep a large bulky item on their property that serves no purpose going on for 2 months?

I reached out to Simply Bike Stuff, you had an opportunity to rectify the situation and you did nothing. You should be utterly ashamed.

Dear Kelly, I'm sorry that you felt this way and were disappointed with your purchase. We have sold hundred's of that brand and model and this is genuinely the first complaint we have had. I have found the original email you sent on Christmas day, we were on shutdown until January so my apologies that no one was available to help you on the day. I am sure it was very frustrating and disappointing for you and your family to not have the bike assembled. I can't find any other record of you emailing or calling us to sort out a return or replacement in January, can I ask if you tried to contact us apart from the Christmas Day email? The email you sent didn't really explain what action you wanted us to take so again I'm sorry if we misunderstood. We offer a full refund to anyone who is not happy and have a returns procedure on our website and can be accessed by calling our freephone number. It appears that you have thrown away the bike which would seem extreme without trying to call us at all to sort out the return and refund. We can collect next day after a return request but we never received any request only the one email saying you were unhappy on Christmas day. If in fact you still have the bike we can collect it tomorrow and give you an immediate refund. Please give us a call on our freephone number 0800 865 4866 and one of the team will be able to sort this out for you straightaway.

Faulty bike. Dangerous. Unresponsive to contact since agreeing refund

Edit after companies response;
Your representative told me I would receive contact from warranty team which I never did. And asking me what I expect from an "entry level bike"? I expect a bike that isn't going to kill me- that would be a good start. Free for anyone to read the defensive nature of this companies customer service. I will indeed attempt contact again on Monday..

Not a good experience unfortunately. The "wildcat" bike I was sent is faulty. Dangerously so. Bike was put together by professionals at Halfords and after an approx 5k ride the rear wheel is moving about on its axis and coming loose.
I emailed simply bike who immediately agreed a full refund or exchange for a "more expensive bike". This leads me to believe they have had other complaints or know they are sending out faulty bikes. Since then they sent a courier to collect but who couldn't due to me being unable to disassemble the bike without appropriate tools. I want to take the bike back to halfords for them to disassemble it and for simplybike to then collect and issue my refund but they have since been unresponsive to my contact. Its all gone very quiet. Avoid this company and buy a decent bike from a reputable company is my advice.
Repeat - the bike they sent me was faulty- very dangerous..

Dear Mr McPhail,
Thank you for taking time to give us your feedback on your experience with us. I’m a little confused over the allegation of unresponsive as we communicated with you every time you got in touch with us. We have sold over 600 Wildcat K2 bikes and have had a few faulty ones as with any large volume of manufactured goods. The bikes are the lowest entry level bike at under £200 delivered to you so I’m not sure what you were expecting but I’m sorry it didn’t match your expectations. We immediately offered you a refund or an upgrade free of charge which again you didn’t want. We agreed to collect the bike at our cost and refund you but you didn’t have the bike boxed ready for collection as you had agreed to do. We covered over £80 in delivery and aborted delivery/collection costs for you, I’m not sure what else we can do to assist you. Feel free to contact our warranty department on Monday between 9am and 4.450m and someone will be happy to assist you further.

Worst service i have ever used!

I was reluctant to write a review due to concern that my issue would not be resolved, but i feel like people need to know about this.
I ordered a bike from this company and it came without instructions, i had never assembled a bike before so i had to improvise which in short ended up costing me my job. When they did send online instructions it was already assembled. The past few weeks have been a disaster due to the issues with this order, the brakes didn’t work, there was marks on the frame when it arrived as if it was pre-owned (to which they offered me £20 back and it cost me £260) then after weeks of emails back and forth and me returning the product back to them, they send me an email suggesting that this was entirely my fault as I didn’t assemble it correctly (because they didn't send it with instructions) and are now offering me £100 less than what i paid for it as a refund. Definitely do not recommend using this service as thanks to the company’s lack of care in service, i have no job, no bike, and I’m out of pocket by £100. Awful awful customer service, but maybe it was just me they decided to cause major inconveniences for. From my personal experience having worked in multiple customer service jobs, i would go as far to say they are downright rude and inconsiderate. And to whoever wrote the long reply to this review, i think you clearly have a lot of challenges in your life too to take this so personally. The bike wasn’t new when you sent it so it wasn't new when you received it back either.

Dear Mr Harris,
We are sorry you feel this way. As soon as you got in touch to say you were missing the assembly instructions we emailed a copy to you. We do state very clearly on our website that bikes are sent boxed and 85% complete so they can be shipped with a courier service. We also state on our home page if you are unsure at all about assembling the bike you should ask a qualified bicycle technician to do it for you. Unfortunately you attempted to do it yourself and in doing so put the handle bar stem on backwards causing the fork to point 180 degrees in the wrong direction. This in turn put the wheel on backwards so when you applied the brake the disc spun off not tightened under load as it is designed to do, you also put the seat post on back to front. These you claimed were faults with the bike and wanted to return the bike after you had assembled it and used it. We agreed based on your claims however our warranty team inspected your bike and found the issues stated above. If you had followed our recommendations and had the bike assembled by a technician at a local bike shop you would not have had all the hassles that you claimed we caused. We have paid additional costs and received back a bike that is no longer new. You asked for a refund and we offered you 80% of your order back even though we now have a damaged used bicycle in return which we felt was fair considering the circumstances and also inline with our terms and conditions of sale. When we make a mistake we own it and put it right, however we expect the same should apply to our customers. We do all we can to help but we must all take responsibility for our actions whether intentional or not. I’m sorry you feel we are responsible but I can assure you we acted in good faith and in line with our service standards. We sell hundreds of bikes and products each day and have very few problems but we will always do our best to help when things go wrong. It sounds like you have a lot of other challenges going on in your life and we wish you future success and things improve for you.
