Very poor service and missing owner's manual

I bought a Cannondale Synapse 105 from Pedal Revolution. The bike itself is good, the rate 2 is due to Pedal Revolution. It came in a box, which was expected, but the gears were not adjusted as they promised, the stem was backwards, the gear cable was a cheap kind, not appropriate for this kind of bike, the reflectors were not like the ones I saw in some unboxing videos. Very sloppy service. I had to send to another bike workshop to have a proper gear service. If you want to buy, please make sure that you live close enough from them, so in case you need assistance you can take your bike to their store. Don't do like did buying a bike from a store hours away from you.
It didn't come to any kind of instruction on how to put it together. It didn't come with the owner's manual (they probably lost it). I asked for the manual and they sent me a link do download the manual from Cannondale website. I bought on the Good Friday and it arrived next Friday. One week is not bad, but it was not 24/48 hours as they promised.

Dear Juliano,
I am very sorry to hear this, and am confused as to how this ended up so negative, the only contact we have had is about your manual.
I had sent you a video we had taken with Ed who built and packed your bike with assembly instructions so you should have this (it could be in your junk folder).
I also sent you an email explaining that the bike didn't come with a manual so I had sent you a link to download it from the Cannondale website (this was not lost, the bike does not come with it as per our email conversation).
Inside your box was the PDI sheet (Pre Delivery Inspection) that was signed off by our workshop mechanics who had fully built your bike including setting the gears then deconstructed it to put it in the box.
I am sorry to hear you had issues with the gearing (this is the first we are hearing this) however this was perfect when it left us so I imagine this was a small amount of cable stretch that you should be able to adjust with ease and we would be very happy to talk you through.
With regards the cables: we do not fit the cables, this is the cables that are supplied with the bike and are part of the bicycle package, if you are unhappy with these we would be happy to look at alternative cable sets with you however I believe the cables you have on the bike are the official Shimano cables so they should be fairly good quality cables.
At no point would we ever leave a customer high and dry, should you ever have any issues you can always call or email us and we will do everything we can to help, in this vain we would ask that you contact us before leaving negative reviews as they have a negative impact on our business and the livelihood of our staff (we are a small independent store), it is also only fair to give us the opportunity to help you and rectify any situation before deciding upon the negative.
Our last contact was about your manual so if you have any other questions or concerns please do contact me and I will help you with any issue you have.
Kind Regards
Karl

Great Customer Support even virtually!!

I took to ordering online via the Pedal Revolution web store because of Covid restrictions. I was please that I still received the same level of great customer support albeit virtually! My only slight negative would be that as far as I'm aware (I might have missed it but I don't think so) after my online purchase, I didn't receive any notification as to when my items would be received, I chose the option for delivery to home rather than click and collect, but as I say, as far as I'm aware no confirmation of when I'd receive the items was ever indicated to me. Other than that, great service as usual. Kind Regards, Paul Nolan.

Excellent service

I ordered my Cannondale Trail 5 from the Norwich store and got it delivered to the Gorleston store, I was notified when it arrived a couple of days later. When I arrived to picked it up they were very welcoming and my bike was all set up and ready to use. They walked me through the set up of the bike and gave me some good tips on how to keep the bike well maintained and said if I had any problems within the first few days to bring the bike back.
I was very satisfied with the service I received and will be sure to visit them in the future.

Dear Mr Jose Navarro Rodriguez,
I am very sorry to hear this, we have not had any contact from you about this, can you tell me please what was missing from your parcel?
I had updated you throughout the build process of your new bike and did contact you about the delay due to missing shimano parts on the bike that we had to source however from your review I assume you did not receive these (please contact me and we can look into this, perhaps we had the wrong contact for you)?
Please know you can always contact us if you ever have any issues and we will of course help.
As business reviews are very important to us but more than this we want our customers to be happy and fall in love with their new bikes, this is the last thing we want to hear from our customers and will always work to make sure you have what you ordered and are happy with it.
Kind Regards
Karl
Update (06/04)
I've been trying to call you about this Jose but I'm unable to get through, can you please get in contact so we can work out what is missing and make your bike buying a happy experience?

Easy transaction

Easy transaction - bought a new fizik saddle. The price was fair, postage was free and the saddle turned up in the post a couple of days later. Recommended supplier!
