Needed a Shimano battery charger for an E-bike as the old one packed in. Highland Bikes had one in stock and is fairly local so I ordered it from them (the alternative was getting one from Germany!)... See more

Very quick refund

Had to return a wetsuit recently for a refund. The returns and refund procedure was easy and quick with no quibbles whatsoever. The money was back in my account within a few days.
Would definitely use again

Efficient service and the product was fine. What I liked about the company was the way that they responded to a couple of (unjustified) one star interviews. They came across as professional, responsive and reasonable.

Just to be clear, we don’t ‘promise’ bikes to be ready for specific times. If you have a deadline then we will absolutely do our best to meet that deadline, but we don’t promise it because any number of things could happen to hinder us getting the job done and through no fault of our own, the promise is broken. The best we can do, is to do our best and that seems to work for the majority of our customers.

When you dropped off your bikes, we explained that our current turnaround time is approximately 7-10 days however given that your job was not a complex one, we would hopefully be able to get it squeezed in to the queue, should a space become available and, in all likelihood, we should be able to get it done for the Friday. You would also have been informed that we would send a text message once the job was completed as we do with all our jobs. Of course, customers are welcome to to contact us using any of the popular messaging services and even by telephone to check on progress of their job.

Your bikes were actually ready on the Friday you requested (you will have received the text message). They just weren’t ready when you chose to arrive. The irony is that if you had called to say you were heading in for them, we probably would have had them ready in time for you for your arrival.

I understand that you are really just angry at yourself for walking for an hour to collect your bikes without any confirmation that they were actually ready, and that you are now projecting that anger on to us. I would disagree that our service was shocking and in fact, a little bit of gratitude would not have gone amiss for getting your bikes ready for you and for putting you ahead of other customers who are waiting patiently.

Perhaps we have both learned a lesson from this encounter.

Highland bikes sent the item really quickly.....and then we're super helpful when I had ordered the wrong thing. They helped me sort out what I actually needed, and got a replacement to me quickly.

Outstanding

My first purchase from Highland bikes, I was looking for ortleib panniers and whilst their price was similar to others I like to try different retailers. The service was outstanding and the parcel arrived on time and well packaged. I would recommend that you try them.
