THINK TWICE

Ordered a bike for my grandsons birthday 2 weeks in advance and rang twice beforehand to make sure the bike would be ready and paid someone to drive down the country to pick it up and they did not have it. Absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking they totally messed my grandsons birthday up then promising to deliver it the next day only to break that promise as well as they could not deliver it so was an absolute farse from beginning to end. Never again

Dear May Clews,

I am writing to sincerely apologize for the experience you had with your recent bike order. We understand how important this birthday gift was and deeply regret that we let you and your grandson down.

The delay was caused by a combination of the Bank Holiday weekend and a logistics issue that pushed back our delivery van's schedule. While we wanted to deliver the bike to you immediately the following day, we unfortunately did not have a business vehicle available to complete the trip.

We have issued a partial refund to your original payment method as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience and the additional travel costs you incurred.

We appreciate your feedback and are using this situation to improve our delivery coordination moving forward.

Best regards,
Will

Great service

Travelling from Stonehaven to Cambridge on a charity ride when tyres gave out. Found Leisure Lakes Stockton as the closest place and they couldnt have been more helpful. Fixed the issue and checked the bike over, all late in the day. Couldn’t have asked for better customer service.

Catalogue of errors!

Bought an item online for instore pick up. Got receipt stating item ready for collection, on Sunday 22nd Nov travelled to collect buy item not in store as stated. Staff in store apologised and organised to send item in a few days max. Another full week went by so phoned store. Item was there with sticker on to be posted but hadn't been dispatched. Item sent by DPd next day. Received on 6th December. PS it was also a different size to the order!

Terrible Customer Service!!..

Stockton on tees branch at GoOutdoors seriously need to work on the customer service skills. I went in tonight to buy a bike for my daughter, when I asked for advice about sizes I just got told to use the chart on the wall.

I then walked around looking at bikes but not once did anyone asked see if I needed any help, the guys just remained behind the till chatting with each other. I had no choice but to leave the store and purchase a bike at a different shop.

There lack of help cost Leisure Lakes a sale, so I would highly recommend some customer support training. If you’re looking for a helpful local shop use Peddlers at Redcar!!.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent visit to our Stockton store.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for the extremely poor experience you had. We are truly sorry that you did not receive the helpful, welcoming customer service we aim to provide, especially when seeking advice on an important purchase like a bike for your daughter.

It is completely unacceptable that our staff directed you to a chart rather than offering personalized assistance and that no one followed up to see if you needed help while you were browsing. We understand this led directly to you having to leave the store and make your purchase elsewhere.

We take your comments very seriously. We have immediately passed this specific feedback to the Store Manager at our Stockton branch. We will be conducting a thorough review of our service standards and ensuring that all team members receive retraining on customer engagement and product advice.

We value your business and hope that this isolated incident will not deter you from considering Leisure Lakes Bikes in the future.

Sincerely,

The Leisure Lakes Bikes Team

New Bike for Daughter and didn't think I would need to spend time tuning components

Collected the bike and didn't feel a need to do a check over it i just picked it up and carried it out of the store. Once I got it home I noticed that the rear brake need some adjustment as well as a fine tune of the gears which I had to do myself., which was disappointing.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for getting in touch with your feedback. Our bikes are all PDI'd by a Cytech trained mechanic to ensure gears and brakes are running smoothly. However, once a bike leaves some further adjustment may be needed if things potentially get knocked out of alignment in transit. Our mechanics will be more than happy to re tune or do the bronze service if you make us aware or book in with your local branch

Kind Regards

Emails answered swiftly

Took a lot longer to get the delivery but that may well have been Royal Mails fault. Correspondence with the Stockton on Tees shop was pretty good

Great customer service, bad customer communicstion

Great customer service, only gripe was a click and collect order, was told it would be 2 days (ordered on the Sunday) phoned up Tuesday to see if there was any updates to be told to just wait till I receive the text informing me it’s ready to pickup. Heard nothing up until friday pm so decided to call up Saturday to enquire again to only be told it’s been sat waiting since Wednesday and they must of forgot to update the order on their end. Not the best experience but not the end of the world, just poor lack of communication. What made it worse is they had a load of the product on the shelf!
