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!!

I'm a long-time customer here, and ordered parts needed for a 2 month bike holiday. The parcel company lost the parcel and sent me a confirmation mail that they have for sure lost the parcel. I've contacted bike-discount 4 times now and they refuse to answer. I've made it clear that I need this parcel urgently (have been waiting for almost 3 weeks now). The only answer I get is: "we will come back to you via mail". Via mail they sent a standard message that the parcel company has not yet contacted them... Any other online shop I know would already have resent the package. Customer satisfaction is not very important. This will have been my last purchase here

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

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...

Dear customer, thank you very much for your order and feedback. Although it is beyond our control, we are very sorry that there seems to have been a problem with the delivery. 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. Please send us the necessary documentation now so that we can continue to act on your behalf in this matter. Thank you very much for your understanding.

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... First and last order.

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 ?

Dear customer, thank you for your order and your review. We are sorry that the delivery by our logistics partner to your distant delivery country seems to take a little longer than expected. Of course, we can very well understand that you are waiting with anticipation for your bike. I could see that it was already loaded in your delivery country for final delivery. It should arrive to you very shortly. Of course you can always reach us if we can still help you. Thank you for your patience and enjoy your new bike.

I'm very very dsappointed with my bycicle purchase from this shop. First it arrived with missing front wheel axle, probably lost in delivery as whole package was damaged. 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.

Dear Customer. Thank you for the feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience. 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. This may be due to various reasons, including the fact that it takes some time to transfer the new stock levels between the stock management system and the online store.

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...

It took 13 days from order was placed until the order was ready to be shipped, which I think was very long time. The payment also went trough 9 days before the order was ready to be shipped. To my knowledge that is not allowed! Furthermore DHL that delivers the package didn’t notify me that I had to be home for the delivery until when they were at my address, so I had no chance of being home for that.

Didnt want to match a cheaper price because they said it wasnt immediately avalaible at the other place, but going ahead with the order I still had to wait 14 days for standard delivery ( they said 2-5 days) and paying 15 euro which is like DHL delivery price. Thats 3 minus points in one.

The website says speedy delivery but it's a lie

The website says speedy delivery and they charge you for a courier delivery service but after a few weeks my order still hadn't been delivered. I eventually cancelled my order and hope my refund is processed quicker than the falsely advertised delivery.

Dear customer, thank you for your order and your review. I am sorry that we do not seem to be able to fully satisfy you. I have checked your details. We processed your order immediately and already the next day it was handed over to our logistics partner and was on its way. The package was ready for you at the depot within the delivery time stated in the shop, despite the necessary customs processing for your delivery country. For your delivery country, it is now necessary for you to pay the customs duties, which are pointed out to you in several places in our shop. Our customer service has already informed you about this by e-mail a few days ago. Unfortunately, it seems that you have not paid the customs duties. Perhaps you would like to inform us again by e-mail where the difficulties were, so that we can help you? Thank you very much.

Dear customer, thank you for your order and comment. We are indeed able to adjust our prices. We regularly offer new and excellent deals to our customers. Price adjustments are standard practice and sales are made at the price in effect at the time of purchase. We have checked your details: In this case, we will refund you the difference once as a gesture of goodwill. However, please note for the future that the current price will always apply and is binding, and that offer prices announced subsequently cannot of course be claimed retrospectively. Thank you for your understanding.
