Disappointing experience

Previously had a decent ordering service for tyres. However this occasion (via the cycle to work scheme) has been a nightmare. I ordered a bike and accessories - it’s been almost two months and it’s not all been delivered yet. I’ve had to chase constantly by phone to be told that there’s no reason why it couldn’t be dispatched - only to be told that it hadn’t been dispatched and they were unsure why. Initially it was blamed on one of the accessories being out of stock, so I repeatedly asked for the rest to be dispatched without that part. Eventually I was told (after chasing) the bike had a faulty part from Giant, so they had to order a new part which delayed the build. I was not kept informed and the fact I’m still waiting for the accessories is so disappointing. If it wasn’t a cycle to work order I would have cancelled it and ordered somewhere else. I also raised a formal complaint by email and haven’t received a response. It’s been really disappointing from what I hoped to have been a reliable independent shop.

Reply from Balfe's Bikes - Gatwick Home Delivery

We’re very sorry for the delays affecting your Cycle to Work order and understand how disappointing it has been to wait so long for the complete order.

Although our team has spoken with you by phone about the issues affecting the bike and accessories, we recognise that you should not have needed to chase repeatedly for updates. We sincerely apologise that the communication and overall experience fell short of the service you reasonably expected from us.
