I just purchase a frozen 2 childs bike and helmet and so delighted with it and the quality. It arrived so quickly after ordering and during transit, there was a cple minor scratches which was rectified so quickly as great customer service. Would highly recommend and will definately be a returning customer.

My review is for those of you not especially skilled in bike mechanics. The problem I found is a lack of integrity in advertising, about the investment needed for getting your bike ready to ride after delivery. Secondly, sales communications were okay, but service recovery emails were poor, some very poor - and some showing cockiness, disrespect, and lack of listening.

About the integrity issues (Dec 2021): Prominent on the homepage of bikesdirect, you'll see "85% of customers assemble their own bikes. See how easy." Easy assembly was promoted on instructional videos and pamphlets as well. So I assembled my bike properly, without much difficulty. Assembly wasn't enough though! If you really want to ride your bike in good condition, you'll see that these boxed bikes need more-involved break adjustments, gear adjustments, tire straightening, and more. Unless you are skilled at these things, you will pay additionally at a shop.

I recently ordered a bike from Bikes Direct. It was received on September 17. Within a few days during assembly it was determined that the fork was not the correct size. It was for a larger bike. I have called a number and goes to voicemail and made 4 email requesting assistance. Their site is great for ordering but awful for getting service. Everything leads back to emailing where you are assured a quick response. No response in 12 days and multiple attempts. I want to send the bike back and can't get clear instructions on the website. Again another email to use. I would not give them a 1 star.
My grandson does not have the bike he wanted for his birthday!

I read good reviews and paid over $1400 full prepayment for a bike in April 2021 for July delivery. At the end of July I emailed bikesdirect. In fact I emailed them about 8 times and no reply. I emailed multiple email addresses, no reply. There is no phone number for any customer service issues (they say they keep costs low by not having a phone contact)...at least I wished to know when my bike might arrive ( I understand there are delays in the industry).

No replies. No idea why. I filed a BetterBusiness complaint. I got a reply thru the BBB, that they had never received any of my emails...this is even though I receive weekly marketing emails to same email. They said they would "contact their office and refund today" (this was end of August). The also said they needed my permission (?) to contact me by email...all of this correspondance was only thru the BBB portal.

After a few more weeks I replied thru the BBB that I had been misled, as there was no refund and no emails from bikesdirect execpt for marketing emails. Thru the BBB I then received an all caps reply "WE DONT LIE, WE NEVER LIE! You can all us anytime" A rather immature and not professional response.

Start of September: no refund, no replies. I have no idea what is going on. I feeel like I am on the terrorist watch list of Bikesdirect.com I buy thousands of dollars of online merch every month and for some reason this company has put me on its fecal-roster. Its bizzzare.

I purchased a bike and it was delivered on time. However the bike was defective and did not match the color advertised.

They say they don't do exchanges, even though the correct bike is in stock. And to return the bike they want ME to pay for shipping to return it to THEM.

The bike was basically OK, but the customer service is lacking. The customer service person with whom I was e-mailing referred to my transgender child (visible in photos I sent of my child’s bike) with the wrong pronoun. When I corrected the person, the person completely ignored the correction. This company needs some serious educating.

Got my bike pretty quick (5 days) but the fork was damaged beyond usability in shipping by Fed EX. I was frankly jaded from other companies that sell goods at a discount and was expecting everything to turn into a hassle based on experience. Larry got back to my email in three hours (fast IMHO) and asked if I wanted a new bike or if a replacement fork was OK. I'm handy so I went for the fork. He got a new one sorted out the same day and sightly better cause my *exact* one wasn't available. I got the package today and found an engraved flask inside as well! I got the new one installed, tweaked and adjusted a few things and hit the trail, hard. My new friend took a New England woods beating in stride.

I'm sending my workout buddies your way to get bikes that can keep up with me in the woods now that I've upgraded.

need newer images and to update infromation frequently
