Good prices, slow delivery

This is not my first order with this shop. In order to lower overall shipping cost I decided to buy few items in one parcel. One of the items that arrived was wrongly labelled by BikeDiscount (other size than I have ordered). I have instantly written to the shop and asked they send me the correct item I have ordered. The support response time was very reasonable. I have been given a label to send the wrong item back, but instead sending me the initially ordered (correct) item, BikeDiscount went more comfortable route for them - they have just refunded me the cost of the returned item and closed the case. In the end I had to order it somewhere else and pay the shipping cost twice. I think they could have resolved the issue they have caused better than this - especially when a customer requested that and the whole issue wasn't my fault. Be aware of this when placing a multi purchase with this shop.

While I am happy with the range of products, listed prices, and delivery performance, I take great issue with one very distasteful feature of your business. A significant additional fee is added when checking out. There is no explanation for this. It's not associated with any change made by the customer for destination, shipping method, etc. There is no additional line item. The prices increase between the shopping cart and the checkout screen. I can only think this is an intentionally deceitful practice to entice customers far enough down the path to a purchase that they will complete it regardless. I will try and find the same items elsewhere in future.

I find it odd, that pricing unfavourably changes when switchin countries from germany to anything else. That shouldn't be the case, not within EU. Returns polisies are not thoroughly explained for "out of Germany" buyers. Sizing guides are missleading as they are german and not standard european. i.e. among other products bought a speedo swimsuit - german size 34 turned out to be XS (UK size 8) and not S (10) international.

Regarding the payment system, even though I tried to pay through Amazon, BD said they did not receive any payment. Secondly, It wasn't until I revisited the site that I noticed that I could have paid in Pounds instead of Euros, this area could have been clearer.

Everything great, but the shop only offers free returns to very few EU countries, excluding other EU countries. So, for an order of more than 500 euros, where I had to return one single item, I had to pay 30euros. The purchases were of good quality.

12 days for order to arrive (despite 4-6 days advertised timing on items purchased to Greece). 5 days to answer my query as to why order taking so long. Sigma light set is missing a part - no handlebar mount.

Unproper Communication: when the ordered NG tool has damaged the ordered bottom bracket was promised the replacement part. The replacement item never arrives me due to out of stock/no continue delivery.

My order was too late. The estimated delivery time in the site was 4-7 days but the orded was delivered in me about 2 weeks later.
