Very efficient and well packed.
The prices were also fair.
The only minus point is regarding the delivery time.
One day after this order, we bought some different products at a competitor (also German) and their products arrived 2 days earlier.
We also used the same transport company.
This wasn't that bad but comparing companies we would say that the competitor worked internally faster.
Despite it, we strongly recommend bike-discount.de!!
price of the bikes are good but no emails saying you have bought it and the waiting time to recieve it 20 to 26 days :-( bought an ebike there 11days again and havent heard anyhting yet (no email saying thanks for.... or we will ship your bike asap ......)
I came to bike-discount to order some parts and overshoes. Unfortunately, I don't know if and how the overshoes would fit over my shoes, so I ordered several so I could see their quality, but also to see if they would fit (EUR49).
After ordering, I received an email a few days later stating I can't order so many overshoes to simply send back to the store. I was told to remove several overshoes from my order. I'd never experienced this kind of treatment in my life.
I removed two pairs of overshoes, and eventually after two weeks, my order was shipped.
In the mean time, the overshoes I removed my order, i ordered from elsewhere. After receiving and examining all of the overshoes, I went with a pair that I had removed from my bike-discount order - whoops!
I was forced to go shop elsewhere, and as a result bike-discount lost out. As a result, I would rate their customer service as not up to a good standard. Learn to appreciate your customers instead of forcing them into the arms of your competitors.

Bad user experience for 2023
== LIKE ==
- Best prices
== DISLIKE ==
- After i made an order, an item became unlisted on the website after just few days! Now i got the item, but i can't read its description or see photos. (An archived description needed, when the item is deleted from the store).
- Items from the orders list are not linked to their page on the website.
- Orders don't have a "status" (e.g. processing, shipped, delivered/completed).
- Completed orders do not have a "leave a review" button.
- Email sale letters are in German lang., links also redirect to German localization.
- The website and its design feels outdated.
- The website often is slow, sometimes very slow (server response).
- Very short logged in session expire time.
- Every time session expires, I have to set my country again.

Not reliable at all. If you have a chance to buy in other shop, do not buy in this one. They sold me, they confirmed delivery and finally send me the fork I did not order. Than they told me they do not have the fork I paid for. I proposed they send me similar for the price (promotions ended and prices raised) but the refused. They do not care how much loss they caused on my side. No reflection, no client friendly solution. Just: we do not have what you paid for and it is your problem and if you have to pay more now we do not care. My recommendation: do not buy anything valuable in this shop (i.e. bike, fork, frame, wheels, etc.). Just don't.

Customer service is horrible.
TLDR; choose another company.
They are rude and they could not keep up what they promise and when asked after, the just ignore your messages.
When I started to handle case through PayPal, they tried to convince me to close case "because they cant make refund if case is open".
Do not fall for that !!
This is second order in a row, that had problems (first was 2-star feedback May 28, 2023).
They answered to my earlier feedback "...contact with our customer service, and you have already found a good solution". That solution ended up being PayPal... Lesson learned after second order, shame on me ?

Dear customer, thank you for your order and your review.
I went through your case and looked at all the emails you exchanged with our customer service.
Yes, you are correct, this delivery took a little longer than we stated and not everything was in order.
This is not up to our standards and for that we apologize so much!
But even though we are proud to be able to satisfy the vast majority of our customers as reflected by the many good reviews, even with us or with our logistics partner in individual cases something goes wrong. This is regrettable, but unfortunately not 100% avoidable.
Our service staff was continuously friendly and committed in contact with you and did everything to offer you a good solution for the situation. Nevertheless, we are unfortunately unable to pursue every compensation request and sincerely ask for your understanding. Proportionality must be maintained here as well.
And one more friendly note: our service staff is just as happy as our customers to receive friendly and appropriate communication. We thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

Poor bike assembly
Bike shipping was fast and it was well protected.
However, bike assembly qualty was unacceptable:
- steerer tube was too long - top cap rested on the steerer itself instead of stem/spacer which made headset bearing adjustment impossible
- bottom bracket was not fully pressed into the frame - one of the cups was skewed which resulted in high crankset drag
- cables are way too long
- gears were not properly adjusted
- inner tubes were twisted inside tires...
This was definitely not ride-ready bike and the loose headset was just dangerous. Bike required some significant effort to fix all the issues.

No option to exchange items for the same price
Placed a very big order, among which a pair of expensive MTB shoes. There were a tad too small so decided to opt for a larger size, only to find out that the price became >40 euros more expensive.
Contacted the customer service to see if I could simply exchange them for a larger pair at the same price, they dodged all questions and provided no understanding for the situation. I only received robotic answers in poor English stating that they don’t do exchanges. Very poor customer service, at least try to explain why you have a certain policy. Last time I order through bike-discount

bad costumer service
Sometimes, true relationships are revealed in difficult times. Here too
I have ordered many times without too many problems. Delays and mistakes happen.
But the last time was particularly frustrating. There are two errors in the same order and no acknowledgment.
Deferent description on the website whit what I received.
During the holidays, they want me to return the items to send the correct ones, which they don't even have available on their site. This means at least 1 month delay.
To "German" Costumer policy.
There's nothing to be sorry about.

Uncompetitive returns policy
I ordered a bottom bracket tool from Bike-Discount.de, as I like to support smaller retailers. When the tool arrived, it would not stay engaged when high torque was applied. Hence I returned the item as being unfit for purpose. I was surprised to then be charged for the full return postage, as the nature of internet shopping is that you cannot test the goods before receipt. Other online bike retailers do not charge for returns and yet have quite similar prices to Bike-Discount. I will not be shopping at Bike-Discount again; what will you do?

Where is my garmin GPS...
I bought a garmin GPS, four weeks ago but it never arrived. I contacted customer service three times and they couldn't/wouldn't trace the package. They blamed the carrier, but they did nothing to rectify the issue or offered a replacement. Only thing they offered was a refund declaration, that I have to physically sign. There is no complaints process and very poor customer service. First time i rang they told me they can't do anything because they ate going home in 5 minutes. So much for German efficiency...

Unfortunately, our logistics partner is currently unable to tell us exactly where the package is. However, in some cases, packages may not have been scanned correctly in transit or upon delivery. In order to help you, we will need a declaration from you stating that you have not received the parcel. Unfortunately, despite several requests, you have not yet sent this to us. We need this so that we can claim the loss from the courier and arrange a replacement or refund, as we have informed you. Of course we are happy to help.

Gift voucher business processes.
My nephew in the UK gifted me (in Germany) a €100 voucher , with a valid voucher code. I used this online from my home in Germany. The payment went through, using the value of the voucher, and the sale was confirmed. One day later, I received an e mail saying the voucher was not valid and the sale was cancelled. This apparently was because of some issue with a voucher bought in the UK and being used in Germany. Piece of nonsense! Then why allow the purchase of a € voucher if it can't be used in a € country!

I've bought cycling equipment on 3 occasions and had no problem with 2, however one order was lost. I do not know what happened to this day, the store is blaming the courier and the courier is blaming the store. I had to chase both and got little help from the customer service team. I was sent from one person to another and after a month I was told to apply for a refund , in writing! When everything works, the store does what it's supposed to, but when you encounter an issue you' re alone.

Ordered a wheelset, got wrong rear wheel
Ordered a wheelset, rear wheel was from different wheelset. To get what I ordered , I need first return wrong rear wheel, wait that shop handles my return and wait that they send correct item for me. First delivery lasted 1,5 weeks, now wrong wheelset is back again in the store (took 1 week). So I expect that I have a wheelset in my bike in riding condition takes total over 1 month :(
No excuses, I have nor heard that they will compensate this for me etc...

Huge 35% additional cost to goods ordered in form of Customs charges which added to final total made it far cheaper to order in UK. It also took 5 weeks to arrive due to customs delays via their delivery company. This is not directly Bike Discounts fault but UK customers should be made aware of potential delivery delays due to customs and big additional expenses to their goods.
I have contacted Bike Discount Support team to express this but as yet 6 days later, no response

I ordered a product (a frame), but it was dented at the headset so completely useless and had serious problems with the paint. I returned it and received a new one without any excuses or whatsoever. In the mean while the sales price of that frame dropped between ordering and returning (1 week). And even when gently asking it was very clear (read: unfriendly) that there was no discussion possible. Very sad (and shameful) for a company claiming to offer the lowest price.

Number one is to have delivery date
Nummer one is to have delivery date - 4 weeks after paying with credit card and still no bike as summer is passing by . When writing support numerous times a basic answer is received - bike on the way - thanks for your patience . Hopefully bike arrives one day - but this has been a disappointment in regards of holiday plans with new electric bike . If you promise 2-3 week’s delivery time you need to keep it or update it to 4 weeks . Can I please have a delivery date ?

Then replacement for axle has arrived and finally I had an opportunity to try new bike, on the first drive I have recognized weird sounds while pushing pedals, I took bike to the local shop and they informed that bottom bracket is faulty. Still can't use my bike, very upsed about quality of this bike

If you sell goods with DHL shipment then send it with DHL not some other shipping company.
I had shipped to me one order last year and one this year, that I payed for DHL shipment still I got them delivered from post service that charge extra and took long long time to delivered. This was not mention at the ordering web page.
When I order from Amazon then I pay for DHL shipment and get delivered from DHL in short time, with no extra charge except the tax.

Dear customer, thank you for your order and your review.
We are sorry that there was any inconvenience. We would like to explain the following: We ship (among others) with DHL and in this case the shipment is handed over at the border to the local post office for further delivery. If DHL brings the shipment to the door, it is an order with DHL Express. We do not currently offer this, but this is in planning. The "fees" you have paid will probably be customs duties, which are payable when ordering to your country of delivery. This is required by law, and we point this out on our homepage. We therefore kindly ask for your understanding. Is there anything else we can do for you? If you have any further questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Very bad experience with bike discount! When we order and pay the product their web showe "on stock". After 4 days we got email that the product (DuraAce brake set) is not in stock....And bla bla bla, so hiw sorry they are. Very very unprofessional, not shame to say criminal. They are selling the air in such cases we may conclude. We explained this bad experience to our Rog cycling club in Ljubljana and reccoment to avoid bike discout.

In individual cases, you may be able to order an item that is no longer in stock, but is still listed as "in stock" on our website.

Another product was delivered instead of the ordered one
I ordered and paid for a product for 179.95€ I was sent another product for 44.95€, I guess my order was sent to someone else. Inside the original box of my order was a completely different product - Rain combo jersey men's Orbit Blue. I ordered the Assos Mille GTS Spring Fall C2 - Bib Shorts from which only the box came)) Now I need to exchange, which is my additional cost of money and time for return shipping and back to me.

It usually works, but.
I´ve ordered several times and the orders have arrived in time and without trouble but in this case, no. And a big no! I don´t think it´s Bike Discounts fault but DHL just sends the package in a loop in Germany. It doesn´t inspire confidence in further orders. It´s soon been a month since the order and for the past 2 weeks the package just travels around in Germany. Back and forth between Hamburg and Neumünster...
