Great delay on delivery, which obliged me stay home for 4 days, given it was supposed to arrive 08-09-2025 and only now (11-09-2025) it arrived.

Fantastic Service and Prompt Response.

Fantastic Service and Prompt Response.

I was send the wrong colour shoes and when I wrote in to query this, I was helped immediately.

A free return label was sent to send the shoes back and as soon as I let them know I had posted them, a new order was created with the correct item.

Jake helped me and was fantastic. Thank you.

Responsive customer service

Responsive customer service - courier managed to lose my order and delivered to me an empty envelope! Customer services at CRC responded within 24 hours and replaced the item with minimal fuss

I have a gift card to use from CRC

I have a gift card to use from CRC. However, it came with no pin and website requires a pin. There is no email address, contact form or phone number on the website. Lets see if someone replies here, otherwise I will need to get a credit card chargeback.

Fraser Group, avoid

The quality of all of the stuff and especially the customer services has become absolutely appalling since Fraser group took over. All they do is quote legal stuff at you and avoid doing absolutely anything because they are a money maker and they don't care about the customer.

For those who don't know, Chainreaction Cycles, Wiggle & Evans Cycles are all a front for The Fraser Group so you'll get the same service there too. You have been warned

Terrible experience

Terrible experience! Bought a bike from them, which they obviously didnt have any intention of selling, they were looking into why, before unexpectedly they cancelled my order! Definitely a scam!

Never ever again

I will never buy anything from The Fraser Group again after this. Hopeless customer service, incompetent delivery company (Evri), 3 weeks and still haven't recieved the goods I've paid for.

Poor customer service, actually No customer service at all.. if you have any issues with your order or account all you have is a useless and frustrating chatbot.

If somethings missing, good luck!

Ordered a pair of Giro shoes online. On arrival they were missing the sole inserts. CR's customer services initial reaction was ta request o send them a picture of the missing part. Eh? Then they said as they did not say the shoes would have sole inserts they couldn't help. I could return the shoes at my own expense for a refund but that was it. Suspect these shoes had been returned already as there was only rudimentary packing.

Wont use again.

No refund after item returned

0 if I could. We purchased cycling shoes from chain Reaction that we returned because they did not fit, in March this year. It took their courier a month to get them back to chain reaction (not our problem). No refund to date and no way at all to contact chain reaction. Their contact details take you in circles, with useless info- bit no contact no or email. Found a support email, but got a blocked message. We will not let this go, but warning DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!

The new chain reaction cycles is…

The new chain reaction cycles is definitely not the same as the previous. The new ownership and the new site are a total scam. I placed an order for two items both in stock. 1 day later 1 item was cancelled due to being out of stock but when I checked it was still in stock they just increased the price. Then in live chat the robot said my order number was wrong. Your also not allowed to cancel orders but they can? Hmm OK. STAY AWAY from this company its not the same as before. They will scam you!!!!!

Will NEVER order from them again !!!!!!

Been ordering from these guys for years BUT since the were bought out they are HORRIBLE !
They sent my order with to separate packages so I payed UPS brokerage fees twice !
IMPOSSIBLE to get in touch with them by e-mail and and their messenger replies take forever ! I had to explain my situation to 4-5 different agents all of them had no idea what they were saying!!!
Oh and return shipping from Canada with tracking was $75 so be 100% sure before you order .
