Wheelset Order

Ordered a set of wheels from Edinburgh Bicycke CoOp which was straight forward on their website.

Received order confirmations and that was it.

Despite the order saying I’d be notified when the wheels would be sent I nothing sent. Nothing in junk Mail either.

2 working days later mr Parcel Force at my with said wheels. Luckily I was in.

Pretty poor IMO no dispatch confirmation nor tracking is sent.

Apart from this pleased with the purchase.

Hi Gary thank you for your review. We did send a dispatch email on the 11th however these occasionally route to the spam folder.

Glad the wheels arrived, all the best.

Sent me wrong item

Sent me wrong item, provided wrong return label then proceeded to ignore me entirely. Would not recommend using this website at all, robbing thiefs.

Panier rack clips

Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op had just what I needed to revive my bike paniers. New bottom clips in an improved design where they wont slide off. Delivered efficently and a good price. Thank you.

Gift Voucher Redemption

I was given a gift voucher as a Father's day present. Tried to purchase an item on line, but there is no options to use the voucher. Contacted the company and was told add the voucher reference in the free text during ordering and the value of the voucher would credited against the total amount. Fair to say it wasn't and I was charged the full amount.

Hi Peter, thank you for your review. As explained no payment was taken, your bank sidelines the full amount up until we dispatch your goods at that point we only take the balance for your order. Your order was processed yesterday and your voucher used with the lower balance taken from your card payment. Your bank should release the balance in the next couple of days (varies bank to bank)
