3 of my 4 bikes are bought from bike-discount.de - Radon City Confort, Radon Skeen Trail 9.0 and a Cube WLS Sting. I have a few dozen orders exceeding 10.000 euros in the last years and bike-discount.de was my first option for me regarding bikes and components. However, my experiences this year (2023) were totally disappointing and I hope I won't have to buy anything again from them. First, I bought in April 2023 a Radon Skeen Trail 9.0 which had a deliver time of 10 days in the websjop and was in stock at the time of the purchase. Along with the bike I ordered other parts and accessories (tubeless valves, sealant pedals etc) needed for the bike. The bike arrived after 3 weeks with the parcel being damaged and the rear wheel scratched - I received a voucher for the damage from bike-discount.de. The shipment was 100 euros worth intra EU and I received only a compensation from it - make up your own decision if it's worth it. However, the parts and accessories were send in another parcel that left the warehouse after 3 weeks - I received the bike with 10 days delay and I could not use it. They forgot to send it... After I made a ticket they send it with priority shipping and I got the parts in 48h. You judge if they could have send the parts before the bike...The bike itself it's superb, and I recommend the brand if they solve their problems with shipping. My second bad experience was this month when I placed and order on Tuesday evening for some parts (700 euros worth). The order was dispatched the next Monday and with insane luck was delivered in 10 days. If the carrier wouldn't have been ok, I would have received the order in 13 days. Again you judge if this is ok, considering that there are other important on-line shops in Germany that have next day delivery in the EU( with extra charge) or others that have half the price of shipping intra EU...

I ordered a Hope tech 4 e4 complete brake set, right and left. A large amount of fluid leaked from both brakes in the package, and the two brake pipes were also different. I will send it back to them for an exchange. They said they would send the brakes back to the manufacturer for investigation. After many weeks, with great difficulty, they returned the unpacked brakes to me, which I had packed in such a way that the brake fluid could not leak out. They didn't even touch it!!! So it's just as wrong now as it was before, since nothing happened with it. They didn't solve the different brake pipes either, instead I got 2 m of the worse ones (I told them that one is of good quality, but the other is much worse and the color is different), I can do what I want with it. I am very disappointed in this company. I feel they don't care about the customer after paying them for the product and having a problem. Communication with them is difficult and cumbersome. A lot of time passed after the complaint before I received the same defective product again. So in the end, my problem was not solved at all, and now they left me alone. I feel cheated because they didn't tell me the truth. They will surely have an answer to this as well, with which they will reassure themselves that they have acted impeccably. But I doubt that.

I bought a bottom bracket installation and removal tool from their website on order 17072301551. On the product page, it says it works with BB30 bottom brackets. It also states that "With its accuracy of fit and ease of use, this bottom bracket tool not only protects the frame, but also the nerves.", and "Particularly precise fit and gentle on the frame". This is though not the case and the tool impacts the frame of my bike and the tool could not install the bottom bracket bearings. Nowhere on the page is there a warning that the tool might not work with every frame and they clearly state that it works with BB30 bottom brackets. Instead of accepting a return of the tool and taking responsibility for their inaccurate product description, the customer support agent has blamed me for the issue. This is extremely disappointing as I otherwise have had good experiences with the shop. But from other reviews, I can gather that this is common that they have inaccurate product descriptions and do not take responsibility for it,

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.

Prices and range are good but customer service is terrible. I ordered replacement brake pads in early January that were not delivered. After nearly a month and multiple email requests looking for an update, and requesting that they be sent again or I get a refund, they are saying the matter is still being investigated and that may take up to 8 weeks. In the meantime I have to wait. How that can seem fair is beyond me. It’s not my error yet they keep my payment for up to 3 months before deciding whether to send the items again or give me a refund. I will never buy something from this site again.

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

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.

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?

I never received the order, in tracking it went from Germany to Poland and returned to Germany and never came to Portugal. I contacted the seller who replied that he would investigate, and later informed me that I heard there was a problem with the carrier that they would respond to soon, to which I replied that they would either send me a new shipment or they would give me my money back. I received an email from the seller two days ago that the purchase was canceled and that I would be refunded my money, but so far neither money nor shoes.

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 tried to cancel an order two days before it shipped and you refused to allow me to do it, even before it shipped. Your departments are too isolated from each other, it should have been a simple phone call to the shipping department and its obvious nobody really cares to do things properly for the customer. Its funny, my background is German, and I thought the germans had more integrity than this. Overall a very poor experience. Good luck

Dopo che la bici risultava disponibile, sono passati 12 giorni e rispondevano alle mie richieste sui tempi di consegna che erano pieni di ordini e che dovevo avere pazienza. Avevo acquistato una bici da 4000€. Successivamente visto che sul sito diceva che la bici era Disponibile ho chiesto se fosse nei loro magazzini ma continuavano a glissare la risposta dicendomi di pazientare. Ho chiesto così ed ottenuto il rimborso da PayPal

I bought the item 3 weeks ago. Since then, no news. Only my credit card has been charged. I had to write them to have a status of my order, it does not have been processed yet. I bought 2 other items from competition (overseas companies such has bike-discount.de ) and I received all my purchases in 4 days time frame). I am still waiting for an update from them. On the positive side, the prices are really good.

Ordered bike on middle of December, from begining in contact with shop with information that I need invoice in 2023. On site was information about delivery time 4-6 days. Of course bike was send on 3rd of January... Later package was lost by DHL. Waiting more than 1 month for refund after many emails with shop... At the end I lost money and lot of time... Never again...

I ordered €200 worth of bicycling equipment from Bike-Discount but never received the merchandise. They gave incorrect mail address to DHL. I called DHL but could not get through. I emailed Bike-Discount about the problem. It took them 4 days to respond. Meanwhile, DHL sent the package back. It has now been weeks and no refund. I emailed twice again. Silence.
