Poor customer service…
⭐☆☆☆☆
Purchased a brand-new BMX bike for my son and was disappointed to find that it arrived with cosmetic damage to the rim. When purchasing a new product, I believe it is reasonable to expect it to arrive in new condition, free from visible marks or damage.
To their credit, the retailer responded promptly and offered either a 10% discount or a return and refund. However, neither option felt like a satisfactory resolution. Returning the bike would have meant disappointing my son after he had already received it, while the discount did not, in my view, adequately reflect the condition of the product on arrival.
What was most disappointing was the overall customer experience. The focus seemed to be on supplier margins and internal processes rather than resolving the issue from the customer’s perspective. As a customer, my contract was with the retailer, and I expected the product to match the condition advertised.
Having since looked at previous customer feedback, I was concerned to see similar complaints regarding bikes arriving with cosmetic damage. This left me feeling that my experience may not have been an isolated incident.
Unfortunately, despite several discussions, we were unable to reach a resolution that I felt was fair. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend purchasing a new bike from this retailer without carefully inspecting the condition upon arrival.
