Winstanleys Bikes

During a time where bikes are hard to get hold of I ordered a bike for my daughters birthday . When I realised it wasn’t going to reach her in time I got a response immediately from the company offering a refund , within 15minutes or requesting one they had arranged this back into my account . I was very impressed & re-assured so much so that when I couldn’t find the bike any quicker anywhere else I re-ordered it with Winstanley & also ordered myself a bike as well :-)

After loads of emails back and to with Jenn from customer service.Finally got my order sorted last Friday.Bike arrived with few other bits today.All boxed up and well protected.All I can say is that my experience with them has been second to none.With loads of stock being non existent in a lot of places they had time to keep updating me with what was available. Must say was very worried once order had been place but my own personal view they have been excellent in dealing with my order. Only hope that the negative reviews are a blip as I was recommended them by a friend. Thanks.

Really shocking customer service. Order 2 bikes on the 7th of May no information on when they would be delivered. I understand COVID-19 would have created issues with regards to the supply chain. However we had no communication from the company. You can't phone the company as they have turn the phone off to deal with online enquiries (After over 2 months you would have thought they could sort this out.) I emailed the company after 2 weeks they replied with a delivery date. One bike arrived a few days after the giving date. No sign of the second bike emailed them over 2 weeks ago and heard nothing..... Maybe they have furloughed all the staff if that's the case stop taking order for bike and adding sale items to your site and deal with the backlog.

Have been waiting a month for a mavic rim. I ordered the other parts hub, spokes tyre and tube off ebay shops and received them within a week. Winstanley Bikes said the rim was dispatched on 24 June. It is now 25 July and still a no show. ~Yodel is the courier (which is never a good thing anyway from having experience of their poor performance in the past years). I have sent 2 e-mails over the last week or so, with no reply from Winstanley Bikes. Customer service is non existent and their customer service phone line is now shut. I have asked for a refund in my last e-mail. My last resort will be to get my bank to take the payment back if there is no reply. I feel sorry for anyone who has ordered a bigger item such as a bike and is struggling to get it like me with my rim and a wheel which I can't build! there should be an 0ption for zero stars!

I ordered a bike which arrived promptly, however, after one use the pedal broke away from the crank shift. I emailed them the same day as per their website, 3 months later and they have only just replied after numerous emails from me. Apparently, my emails had gone into their junk folder. The service is poor, no acknowledgement of their lack of service, ignore my reply until I chased again.

How these people are in business is beyond me!!! Terrible customer service! They never reply and don’t answer phone, and wouldn’t give me the name of the store manager when they sent me a faulty bike. 3 months on, no refund no replies so having to take it further. Avoid at all costs!!

Customer service is horrendous!!! I ordered a very expensive bike. The most I paid for any bike and this is my experience. No reply to email. Takes forever to do anything. Say will just check and be with you in a bit and that was four days ago. Ordered in the beginning of July and still no bike in sight. I am so fed up with them. I have cancelled my order. Let's see if they can do that!! NEVER BUY FROM THESE GUYS. YOU WILL REGRET IT

Similar to other reviews in that their post-sales service is awful. I have sent numerous emails with not even a response to acknowledge them, let alone resolve the issues. When sending an inquiry prior to my purchase of the bike they responded within 24 hours to answer my question. Once they received my order it seemed they quickly lost interest. I received my bike within the timeframe expected; however, the bike must have had a rough journey and the front brake handle was badly scuffed/scratched whilst all the nuts/bolts and assembly parts were not securely sealed and scattered all over. Unfortunately one of the crucial bolts for the seat post was missing and I am still awaiting a response to my emails a month later! I have been very patient but I am now considering making a complaint to the bike manufacturer, Orro, in hope that I can secure the missing parts from them. During the pandemic they have closed their telephone lines, which is understandable and I am sympathetic to any delays; however, it has become clear they have just ignoring my emails and have no intention of responding now they have my money. Big shame and not what I expected.

Spent over £2000 and still haven't got my bike. It's been a month now and it's not looking good. If you're lucky enough to get a message all it says is " we're expected to receive your bike around. . . bla bla bla !" After being let down several times I took it upon myself to drive over from Halifax to Winstanleys bikes to see what's going on. When I got there I wasn't surprised to see a factory full of bikes with two lads trying their best to fulfil orders. I didn't go in all guns blazing as that won't help matters. I've been given more promises that it should be in week commencing 15/6/20 . . . we'll see! The staff, Jamie and the bike mechanic are great lads but the way the business is structured leaves alot to be desired. Sorry Winstanleys but you're letting your customers down. After I receive my bike I won't be giving you my custom again. ?

Bought a bike yesterday from Winstanleys size small which they built while we waited in store. They were really helpful and it felt great size wise in the shop, but when I got it home I was worried it felt too big. Took it back to the store today and asked if they had extra small in stock. They did and again built it while we waited. They suggested I take both bikes outside for a little ride around the car park, and my conclusion was the small felt absolutely perfect, so we ended up going home with the original bike!! The guy who served us was so helpful and didn’t mind at all that he’d built a bike today for nothing! Really felt like I had wasted his time but he assured us it was no problem and the bike had to feel right. Fantastic service, thanks so much Winstanleys, we’ll be back!

I ordered the bike and received my order number. When I followed up on when the bike would be delivered they did respond quickly. After that it was all downhill. Terrible correspondence and I tried to cancel the order three times. They sent the bike, a week late, with no dispatch notification. My wife happened to come home just as the delivery van arrived with a surprise package. I received an email 2 days after the bike arrived telling me to refuse delivery or return it. The gears don’t work and keep slipping and getting stuck between the rear wheel and the cassette. Thankfully I have a friend who can fix it, I wouldn’t trust sending it back, given their previous lack of interest in customer service. Lovely bike, terrible service.

PLEASE AVOID WINSTANLEYS. They dont care and just want to take your order! Id give 0/5 if it was possible. Bike dispatch was nearly 3 weeks when advertised as 3-5 days. Of course, they blamed Covid! You cant get in touch by phone, everything via email. Bike arrived and gears are not set up correctly. Throws chain off the top ring and doesnt select bottom ring! Customer service suggestion - "go on youtube to see how to set your gears" If you cant meet the demand then stop giving people such a terrible service and stop taking new orders!!!!

Order my Bike in June, still nothing. They have had my money already and can’t be bothered to email back with a delivery date! Can’t get hold of anyone on the phone very disappointed with the terrible customer service!

Ordered a bike that was in stock with an advertised dispatch of 3-5 days. 10 days later and still waiting for the bike. Phones have a recorded message diverting to email. Waiting 4 days so far for a response to my email. Nothing...

The bike came with no assembly instructions. The gears were all misaligned and the front derailleur needed drastic adjustment. The crank that the pedal is attached to is not stable and wobbles, So much so that the local bike shop recommended we send this bike back. To date, all our calls and emails have gone unanswered, so we’re left with a brand new bike that is faulty. This is really poor service.

Terrible customer services, provided a faulty product, then once returned refused any further correspondence they now have the returned bike and my money and absolutely no contact or response to emails. Avoid this terrible company at all costs.

Coming up 3 weeks for a bike part. Terrible communication throughout. Contacted to say if it didnt come today then get back in touch. So I did and they didnt get in touch. No info on where the part is. Dispatched over 2 weeks ago apparently?

This company has terrible customer service doesn’t answer any emails pop payed over £500 for a bike and nothing no email confirming purchase no reply from emails asking what’s going on and now no reply when asking for a full refund this company is disgusting do not use at all very unhappy
