Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The tyres and tracking is great but you're better off having them delivered to your address as some garages, especially the one in Brentwood didn't want to fit them. Apart from that no problems

Couldn't fault it

Couldn't fault it. Tracking was added quickly and was delivered in 3 days, best price for tyres and fitting centre was easy to communicate with.

Charged for return

Wouldn’t let me cancel my order. Then charged me to return in on arrival. Horrible customer service.

No we don't fit tyres for grip500

OK the tyres got delivered to selected garage. But when I phoned to arrange fitting. They told me they only fit tyres they sell. Not for grip500 tyre leader or any Internet company.

Ordered a tyre on the 9th October still not received

Ordered a tyre on the 9th October, been told its been shipped, over a week ago. Sent 3 emails confirming my address to Grip 500, as the courier said the address had been scrubbed off and incomplete.

I have emailed Grip 500 twice asking for confirmation they have received my address details. I know from their thread that they have received these messages. No one has had the common sense or decency to email me. Therefore they have my payment and I have no tyre, very poor customer services I will be requesting a refund if the tyre isn't delivered by Friday. :(

Hello,
We note the receipt of your package.
We are entering the peak winter tire sales season. This increase in the number of orders leads to longer delivery times than during the low season.
We apologize for this situation beyond our control.

Turned out OK

The price was very attractive. I bought a tyre from them for a classic bike in a size that's now difficult to find. First I emailed them to ask if they had it in stock (as I'd been let down by another company, before). They said they had 15 of those tyres, no less, in stock immediately. I made my order without hesitation. However, it took longer than expected to arrive. I did get the item in the end. I had contacted the company and asked them where the tyre was, and they said they'd contacted the courier and asked them to update their system with new tracking information. Whatever. In the end, I got my tyre and that's all that matters... kind of. The tracking system shows that my tyre was dispatched from Poland. I was surprised about that. The delay caused me to belatedly read through this company's terms and conditions, and I found them very, very unfavourable to the customer in the event that they don't deliver. In short, you have to wait 30 days before you can ask them to refund you, if you never get the tyre. Never mind your UK consumer rights legislation or contract law - it's worded very much in their favour. So, woe betide you if something goes wrong and you need to get your money back. Maybe they'd refund you eventually, but if they didn't, what would you do? In retrospect, I should have paid a few £££ more and gone for a UK company or with an Ebay seller (with Ebay, you get refunded automatically if the seller doesn't meet their delivery schedule commitment). I wouldn't want to end up in a consumer dispute with a foreign company. While it's my fault for not reading the T&Cs properly at the outset, I wouldn't go with this company again. I'm glad I did get my tyre because I'm not sure what RECOURSE I would have if I didn't.

Took too long to deliver

Took too long to deliver. I ordered it on Sunday... Got it a week Monday. Sorry... But if I knew that, I'd have paid the little extra and gone local.

This is from their website.. When will my tyres be delivered?
Your tyres will be delivered within 2-4 days depending on the following steps:

Once your order has been confirmed, you'll immediately receive an order confirmation by email.
We then check the payment.
Once the payment has been confirmed, we immediately start preparing your order in our warehouses.
A tracking number is then sent to you by email to allow you to track the progress of your order.
A carrier is already on the way to deliver them to your home or to another address of your choice.

My tyres were ordered on Sunday and delivered 8 days later.
