Awesome products and ever better service

Bought a handle bar light with the Cree helmet light back in October 2021, lights have been awesome since day one. My helmet mount snapped off my lid on a commute last week, messaged on Facebook and Paul had 2 replacements out to me within a week even though I was out of warranty. Also sent a cool little postcard with a hand written note, thanks Paul. You’re a legend 😁😁🤙🏻🤙🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic products, excellent customer service!

I ordered the 1100 lumen pro capsule for my helmet and the 2400 lumen cree handlebar light and together they are incredible, riding in the woods at night even on aggressive downhill sections the visibility is almost as good an in the daytime! I also messaged the company on Facebook regarding some additional components I required and they (Paul) went above and beyond in response to my request. I highly recommend this company on both their products and their customer service. Second to none!

Amazing product and after sales…

Amazing product and after sales service. Totally recommend. I had an issue with the cable connection on the battery back of a 2400 CREE light which I use for night time off road bike rides (awesome light btw, its sooo bright!). The light was out of warranty I think. I contacted Chilli, who promptly got back to me and asked me to return the battery pack. They then promptly sent me a replacement battery pack with instructions on how to care for it. I'll definitely be buying from them again. Great product, super service. Nice to know you are dealing with a company who care about their customers!

Perfect service! Perfect lights!

Well, where do i start? This will be my 5th product from Chilli Tech and oh my! What a superb product it is (3300 lumen) having had the 960,2400 and a total of 2 head torches and this is still the same high quality product. Moving away from cables I was a tad hesitant on battery life but with Paul’s assistance and knowledge I went ahead and got the 3300 and it out performs my expectations. Superb light and feels so much more expensive than it is.
The Royal Mail strikes caused it to take 10 days but that’s no fault but Royal Mail! Tracking was provided and constant updates from Paul, pretty much every day, phone calls and instant messages, feel like I’ve made a new friend to be honest. Was a bit disgruntled at first but that’s due to the strikes and my eagerness to get out and give it a try!
I’ve never quite experience a level of care with a company and wouldn’t have any hesitations on purchasing another product from him.
Thank you again for everything!

Would give zero stars if allowed

Would give zero stars if allowed.

Ordered weeks ago. Still not received. No response to emails.

Next step is reporting them to trading standards.

So far over £100 out of pocket.

Avoid them like the plague.

Your package was sent out via Royal Mail Tracked 48 and as per our email did explain that the delay seemed to be due to Royal Mail's recent and ongoing strike action - we sent the Tracking and all of the details. We missed your email as it was in our spam folder but you did get a response within 48hrs.

We can see that your package has finally landed - thank you for your patience. We have since switched to Yodel and DPD to avoid further issues re delivery and up until beginning of December, all post was still getting through quickly.

We are real - we are here and have been around since 2011 on Facebook and earlier offline.

I can only think you panicked even after we sent the Tracking details but like many online small Businesses, we have been hit hard by Royal Mail's strikes through our busiest time.

Like you, we are genuine people who try our best to offer products which make a difference.....we also have families and here's a small reminder that we are just normal people trying to navigate the Royal Mail strikes, supply chain issues and prices increasing weekly.

Be kind, be patient, support small Businesses.....and hopefully more of us will stick around.

Best regards

Paul

Chilli Tech sorted out an issue when I had one.

Bought 2 lights. They are good lights, but I had an issue when one failed. When I finally was able to contact them, they resolved the issue, hence changed from 2 to 5 stars.

The quality of a company is how they respond when things go wrong. They sorted out the issue.

Thank you

Hi Mark, we always solve any issues under warranty and in most cases always help of out of warranty. Not sure when you tried to reach out or your full details (name address) - I’d suggest you message us on FB or resend an email if you’ve sent one as we’ve obviously either missed that or it didn’t come through. Our warranty and terms of sales can also be found here https://www.chilli-tech.com/terms-and-conditions . Message is so we can help try and solve your issue.

Update: you ordered in September 2020 and messaged once in October 2021 which the team missed - no other message or emails in our archive. Have sent you a reply to send back the Cree 960 so we can take a look at it and replace if faulty

Non-existent Customer Service

Ordered a new Helmet Strap for Bullet Cam on 7th November and I am still waiting for it to be delivered. Their website states that it was despatched via Royal Mail 1st class and the order marked as completed and is given a date of 7th November.

Contacted Chilli on 20th November through e-mail to ask about the delivery and followed this up via the 'contact us' option on their website on 23rd November. On 28th November, still no response so I decided to call them on the telephone number provided on their e-mail order confirmation (which they give as an option on their e-mail), only to get a recorded message stating I need to either e-mail or use Facebook Messenger. Contacted them via FB Messenger following that and tried again (29th November) and I'm still no further along in trying to find out where my order is.

Hi Ed, just searched for your email and found it in our spam folder - apologies. Messages via FB - just searched and cannot find anything under your name - if you sent via messenger without using your account as a guest, messages expire over 24hrs and guessing this is why you had no response there. We are an online company and reply via email and messenger - unfortunately in your case we missed that email. I’ve refunded £9.99 + postage and cancelled your order.

Recently purchased the 3300 lumen cree

Recently purchased the 3300 lumen cree. Although I have only used it once the build quality on the mount and light appears very good. The light coverage and brightness from my initial use also seems very good. Paul and the team have provided great customer service and responded quickly to queries.

I got the 2400 LUMENS CREE Bike Light from CT along with the head torch and they have been nothing but amazing. Great light coverage and vision at night and the battery lasts ages with the additional battery that bolts onto the chassis. the head torch is handy as you can point it where your head wants to go. Have had the lights for over a year now and have had no issues at all. I managed to snap a couple of the rubber bands that go over the handle bars to hold the lights...when I emailed CT they sent them out the next day FOC. Chilli tech customer service is first class and they cannot do enough to help out customers. so first class product matched to first class service. what more can you ask for. thanks again CT team.

The Chilli Bullet camera is a brilliant piece of kit which I use on my bike. However, the on/off button became unresponsive, a condition I reported to Chilli. A very pleasant lady, Lisa, responded & asked me to return my camera for repair or replacement. I returned it and Lisa messaged to say a replacement was on it's way to me; no quibble or argument! A few days later, a replacement was received. I can't thank the company enough for their excellent customer service and fantastic product.

Cheap and functional but with numerous shortcomings

I ordered the ‘Horse Riding Hat Camera’ with Sony sensor. The ordering process was simple enough and delivery took a few days. At £67 it’s one of the cheapest of it’s kind and the camera itself works well enough, the quality of recording is pretty good. Overall though it really is quite poor, much more so than it needs to be, due to poor quality of the supplied accessories.

Firstly the camera arrives with no instructions whatsoever. Using the instructions on the website for the Mk II cycling camera which is similar (but not identical) it proved reasonably easy to get up and running.

Secondly the hat mount strap has absolutely no grip on a moulded plastic riding hat, it just slips off. That I solved with some strategically placed cable ties to hold it in place. Once attached using the Velcro mount supplied, the camera points directly ahead, which on a horse means that you will record mainly sky and anything lower down will be under exposed and lacking in detail as a result.

As the strap is a simple band with no strap over the top of the hat the weight of the camera causes the band to droop and it bounces around in all but the slowest walk. So, I now have to either modify the strap or find a better alternative.

Excellent service I broke one of the lenses on my mtb helmet light after dropping it but the chilli crew sorted me out with a new replacement free of charge and next day delivery must say highly impressed as thought that would have been a new light needed!

Ideal bike camera

We’ve been using a GoPro camera for a couple of years, but it wasn’t ideal on the bike. Short battery life was the major gotcha and we were used to carrying half a dozen spare batteries and stopping to change them regularly. So I looked at cycling-specific unit and Chilli-Tech seemed to be offering something of interest with their bullet camera - decent battery life for starters with very simple gloves-friendly operation. I ordered one for my partner, which she found very easy to use and I was so impressed I bought another one for myself. I’ve used the GoPro adaptor and the clasp to make removing the camera for charging very easy and Paul from Chill Tech has made setting up the camera, charging and setting the very date simple by creating short YouTube videos. Now I’m wondering what to do with the GoPro camera…

Awesome products and amazing service

Paul from Chilli Tech and his team always offer great service and products. I have now bought several different bike lights from them. The lights are amazing and much better than more expensive competitors. The after sales service in second to none. I had a small query with a head torch and Paul rang me up within 5 minutes of sending the email. All sorted and I continue to enjoy the lights. Would highly recommend.

Great service 💪💪

I purchased a 1100 Lumen Pro Capsule from these guys back in November 2021. The light had been faultless throughout the whole winter and when getting my gear ready for this years night rides the light had a little fault - Messaged Chill Tech and without an issue they said they will send a replacement. Within 48hrs my replacement was here.
I Can not recommend these guys enough! Great product at a great price and customer service is absolutely amazing 💪

Great customer service going above and beyond expectations. I ordered up a light last minute for a night race forgetting about the strike that was on and Paul ran me through the options to get it on time. He sent it and I received it next day.
From Paul’s end the tracking link was showing that it hadn’t been delivered, so he made a call with me not answering my phone and send out another light making sure I had one for the race!
Thanks to Paul I had 2 sets to choose from come race day!

An effective helmetcam solution.

I have been using two of the cameras on my helmet for several months now. These were a good solution to the need for reliable ride recordings. I had previously used a single camera from another manufacturer that had limitations resulting from inadequate battery power and it was generally inferior to this product. The Chilli Tech camera has proven to be fit for the purpose intended. It comes with suitable attachments and it's also a reasonable price and the guy running the company offers good after sales support. I can't really fault it so I'm giving a five star review.

My patience is running out…!

My patience is running out…! I received very prompt responses to the emails I sent to Lisa at Chilli Tech when I was looking for advice on which cameras and fittings to buy. I placed my order on the 27th July (2022) and was told in a confirmation email that the dispatch date was 16th August! Dispatch date and not arrival date! - but dispatched from where? China? The USA? Taiwan? I have no idea! I did ask but again, I’ve had no reply. They are very quick to respond when they want your money/purchase but it seems that they couldn’t care less after that! I’m just hoping there won’t be a problem with the cameras - if/when they arrive. I’m actually wondering if I should reject the delivery and then I can expect a refund!

Dispatch date as per the deal page was 16th August - you've posted this on the 16th August knowing the dispatch date when you purchased was the 16th August.

On the Deal Page - it states under the FAQ's that we send out via Royal Mail Tracked 48 (the UK)

On your order confirmation email (which you've read) it also states we dispatch via Royal Mail Tracked 48 (from the UK)

Had a look through emails and I know there's no recent emails from yourself re delivery because we've been busy replying to any questions all week re: dispatch and delivery to everyone who has emailed in.

As per our FB Page, YouTube Channel and Website, we're UK based - this video explains where we are https://youtu.be/RevYACzDLrk

If you had placed an order through the main website and paid full price, you would have had delivery within days and immediate dispatch. We offer special deals but on the cameras and in the instance (and from January onwards, there has been a waiting time of 2-3 weeks).

Happy to give you a call - please email allaboard@chilli-tech.com and I'll give you a call Monday.

Used my new camera on my helmet today and the image quality is fab! It's really easy to set up the time stamp with the executable file. The camera feels good quality and the clips are split into 3 minute sections. Absolutely delighted with it.

Hi Peter,

Pretty sure it's because of the MAC.

1. Reformat the SD Card to FAT32

2. Delete files like this on a MAC https://youtu.be/MjmV3HXF1XE

The Video re a MAC is on the Playlist on YoutTube here - pretty sure that's the issue https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvdGzh5f8nLAtN0FIsVD9zmDxc5GKbHgO
