Very Poor customer service

Very Poor customer service, very slow at responding and letting you know what's happening, ordered some pedal parts delivery 2-3 days as from supplier thats ok, no email to say they didn't receive. refund as usual will be 5 days, amazing doesn't take 5 days to take the money.

Inferior quality bearings

Order some bearings and arrived swiftly. Fitted them and spectacularly failed after 3 rides. Wrote to CS and not interested.
Definitely worth shopping around for other bearing suppliers as the quality supplied here is beyond disappointing and will add even more expense if you need to replace your hubs

Feeling deflated

Ordered parts with 48 hr. dispatch a week ago hear nothing, contact them for tracking details get a refund straight away. Either Royal Mail at fault - and I now receive free parts or they never had them in stock and allowed me to purchase...hmmmm . Previous experiences good however recently sent 2 items in 1 and charged double postage - for each item.

Pretty much PERFECT service

Pretty much PERFECT service. Ordered a bike, came within expected time frame and was fully kept up to date with all steps of the process, even was emailed about optimal set up options which were all done prior to dispatch. Big shout out to Michael for all the communication and the speedy rectification of the most minor of issues once arrived. 10/10 for Biketart and 11/10 for Michael! Top job

Awesome service

Very helpful and knowledgeable, nice to have a normal human interaction by email for a change. Patiently amended my order a few times as I added bits, made additional payments and swapped another item out while waiting for it to come in stock.

Good service and communication

Matched a price as best they could in a difficult market. My order was a bit delayed (some items at supplier not in stock I think) so Biketart upgraded my delivery and it got to me in time to ride my new tyres on the weekend. And they let me know. Very good service.

I recently had my first ordering…Biketart.com was nothing short of outstanding

I recently had my first ordering experience with Biketart.com, and I must say, it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations.

Firstly, I was amazed by the speed of delivery. I placed my order, and within no time, it was at my doorstep. The efficiency of their delivery service truly impressed me.

What really stood out to me was the order tracking system and email communication. Throughout the process, I received timely updates on the status of my order, which gave me peace of mind. It was incredibly easy to keep track of my packages every step of the way.

Biketart.com also boasts a remarkable range of products. No matter what I was looking for, they had it! From essential bike accessories to high-quality gear, their inventory is extensive and diverse.

And let's talk about the prices – they're unbeatable! I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable their products were, especially considering the exceptional quality.

Overall, my first ordering experience with Biketart.com was nothing short of outstanding. Fast delivery, comprehensive order tracking, excellent communication, a vast selection of products, and unbeatable prices – what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be a returning customer and would highly recommend Biketart.com to anyone in need of biking gear. Keep up the fantastic work!

Great bike shop

Been using them for years and service/quality always great, but a shoutout to Chris and Tom for identifying a safety issue with my bike when I took it in for another issue. Way forward suggested and taken and I'm very grateful for their advice.

If I could put 0 stars I would..

If I could put 0 stars I would... stay away from this company they false advertise stock and then are a joke to get your delivery to you, i ordered a £2200 bike on the 2nd and they said it was delayed in the first week as they had no stock. Now 10 days later they have delayed it further claiming dpd hasn't picked it up even though they said it had started it's delivery yesterday. Joke of company stay away. Even chain reaction would do better and they're going bust. Lies and just down right bad service. If you value your time and money DO NOT USE BIKETART.

A bit of a double edged sword

A bit of a double edged sword of both positive and negative feedback.

Negative - Showed stock of all parts , ordered and paid extra for 24 hour delivery. Didnt hear anything for 4-5 days ( between Christmas and new year so fair enough ) . Then there was contact to tell me they were waiting on parts ,to be honest i wasnt that happy as i only tried them out as an order from Chainreaction at the same time came the day after ordering but CR didnt have some of the parts at time of ordering ( their website showing out of stock ) but bike tart 'did' as showed in stock when they weren't. They did say they would change shipping to 'priority shipping ' when they did get the parts in which was the option i paid for anyway so that was a waste of money lol. So basically, parts in stock at Bike tart dont actually mean in stock so dont use them if you need a part ASAP based on that, contact them to confirm first.

Positive

They did reply to emails quite quickly
The parts did arrive eventually
