I purchased a voucher which has never been received, I have contacted them via their website 3 times and haven’t received a refund or an explanation as to why the voucher was never sent. I have asked for a refund but keep being ignored, shoddy company

New owners are thieves

New owners of Velovixen are thieves. Previous owner made order from my company for 1000 pcs of padded underwear cycling panties and never paid. Now new owners refuse to give the goods back. They don't even have the shame to sell them.

I can proove that I made them, I can proove that I have delivered them. I even have some samples here in office. Tim Bland don't give a f.... because he just found this in his locker and sell without problems. Great business. Good luck Tim hope to meet you some day when no supplier would want to work with you.

Hi Martins Lismanis, thanks for your "review" and the many other google reviews you left where you pretended to be a woman named Dana(?).

We have already politely tried to explain to you how the law works. But here it is again...
Your company has been left out of pocket by Pedalling Forth (the previous owners of VeloVixen) going into administration. Our business (Stolen Goat) was also left out of pocket by a significant sum. Many other businesses are also in the same situation. Nobody wins in this scenario. Administrators were appointed, as per the rules, and debts collected where possible.

We decided to buy the assets to give VeloVixen and their wonderful community another shot. This involved paying money to the administrators. This money is then used to pay off the debts of the previous company. If you haven't received a payout then its either because
a) you are owed far less than most other businesses out of pocket,
b) other agencies (e.g. HMRC) take priority over you and everyone else and there isn't enough money to go around.
c) you don't have any legitimate contract or paperwork to make a correct claim on what you believe to be owed to you.

In reality, you have already told me that c) is true, and I know that a) and b) are also true. No business (including us) has received any reimbursements from Pedalling Forth going bust and that is unlikely to change, there simply weren't enough assets in the business before they went under.

So all we have is a situation where we have paid more money to acquire the small amount of assets. We have all the legal paperwork to prove this to be the case.
So legally speaking I know hand on heart that we are operating as expected. Can you say the same?

That said, I know what it's like to be out of pocket which is why I took the time and effort to contact you and try and speak to you about making a long term relationship. I proposed to you a very fair solution whereby we paid a fair price for the items as we sold them, with a view to making further products with you in the future.

But all you did in response was to call us robbers and thieves and other fairly immature things.

As director of the new VeloVixen, I have a legal responsibility to do what's best for the brand and company. Handing you some stock just so you can flood the market with cut price VeloVixen goods is not right for the business or the brand. So regardless of your persistent nonsense reviews, that is my stance. But again, you are entitled to contact the administrators and we will absolutely deal with any requests that come from them as per the rules.

Many thanks.

I read with disgust that the directors…

I read with disgust that the directors of velovixen, now in liquidation, knew that this was happening well before Xmas 22. Yet they still sent out items knowing that could not deal with returns as was stated online and on the invoice. I need to return 2 items that are not true to size, but I find I cannot, so I'm stuck with them. Put them on eBay they say, and get a fraction of the £158 I'm out of pocket.
Shame on you for the lies you have told...you were looking to salvage your own position with the money of your customers. May your future lives reflect the way in which you have treated us.

Hi Stuart, I'm sorry this happened to you. Whilst we, the new owners, were not involved in this scenario I do know that the previous owners were acting under advice from the liquidators / administrators. Regardless, please feel free to get in touch with us via the website. We can exchange or credit your items for you. Many thanks

Due a refund but no response from the company.

I have returned items for a refund only for them to be returned back to me with no explanation except no returns are being accepted. Not only have I already paid for these items, I have also paid for the return postage which is considerable.
There is no answer on the phone lines and no response from two emails. This is horrendous. I am due a refund. I have tried to make a complaint also with no response. Do not use this company.

Hi Rose, the previous owners went into administration and so were acting under the guidelines given to them. As the new owners we are offering exchanges or credit for people left out of pocket and holding stock that isn't what they want. Feel free to get in touch via the website. Many thanks

It seems that I am not alone in having experienced poor customer service from Fran and really appalling attitude. I emailed three times and even wrote a physical letter after no responses. I finally emailed from another email address and was told my original emails went into spam but no mention of having received a letter (not responded to). My problem was with the poor quality of handlebar tape. I was told it wasn't there problem and we had installed this incorrectly. I did point out that my husband is a cycle mechanic but again told it was all our own fault and nothing to do with them. The email replies were shocking from a company that apparently pride themselves in looking after their customers. The value of the handlebar tape wasn't high but it was the principle of the service and in particular the attitude in emails that I found shocking. Needless to say I won't be buying from VeloVixen again and instead buying directly from Stolen Goat and others who I'm sure have taken steps to ensure their customer service is professional.

Passionate about cycling

I’d have purchased several products from Velovixen. I love their products and ethos. I have found their customer service to be responsive and helpful. A really genuine company with people who are passionate about cycling

Lovely products. Great experience.

I just purchased 2 x long sleeve jerseys, one short sleeve and a gilet and it was altogether a delightful experience. The designs, quality and fit are fabulous and even though cycling gear is universally pricey these are good value. The welcoming, friendly VV Facebook community is also a terrific place to see, hear from and share with other women cyclists. It's a great source of inspiration, experience and collective wisdom!

Broken website, disappointing customer service

Flakey website with incorrect delivery charges and a broken contact form. No one checking the customer support answer phone. Poor resolution of issue when, after 5 days, eventually reached a real human. A pity, as the range is good and smaller businesses need our support... But they do need to at least get the basics right.

Worst customer service ever

Worst customer service ever.
Due to covid they took longer than normal to issue my goods. My parcel was stuck somewhere in the post sent an email to their customer service - response was sorry but Covid means we will be slow to respond. A week later phoned - message says do not leave a message as due to covid we will not answer, sent an IM - got a message due to covid etc. Ended up bombing their Facebook - and strangely that was monitored was told
1 I had not sent them an email (sent a copy of their response - no response)
My problem must have been fixed as they had fixed everything so please stop contacting them on Facebook.
Finally from Phil their CEO - we have posted it so not our problem any more. Please go away.
Finally got my goods and to add insult to injury they had sent the wrong size.
Worst customer service I have experienced in a very long time and I live in a country renowned for bad customer service.
