Tomm Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 how quick you get your orders n that?on time?Pfft no!I ordered an XC bike from there over a week ago (on the tuesday). Supposed to come next day. After a week it still wasn't dispatched, so I phoned up, and you get through to some dumb receptionist (A woman who clearly has no idea about bikes) who just takes your number and says she'll get someone to ring back, and you'll be waiting for nothing. Then when it was finally dispatched (A week late) it took 3 days to come, even though it was supposedly posted by ParcelForce 24 hours. Although that could have been Royal Mail's fault.AND then now it's arrived, the U-turn adjustment on the fork is knackered - the adjuster dial was cracked. I phoned up and got through to the same stupid woman who told me that she couldn't give me a new adjuster if the bike had been ridden. This was on Friday (yesterday) and the person dealing with returns wasn't in, so I would have to wait for Monday. She wanted me to not ride my shiny new bike because of a shitty disc adjuster. So I argued and she put me through to a really sound guy in "MTB Sales" who said he would personally sort me out with a new adjuster knob. We will see how that goes.AND the rear brake is pissing fluid all over the disc. And a pedal (V8 copy) was so tight that it wouldn't even spin. Luckily I knew what to do, but a lot of people wouldn't, so that's crap.So overall I rate the service as completely wank. [/rant]Although I ordered a BMX a few years ago and it came the next day (as it should have). And if nowhere else has the bike, then you don't have much choice For anyone wondering, I rode XC today and it was really good. The back brake was slowly leaking oil, but somehow it's working OK, with a funny squeal. But it'll be much better when it's fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
