Great site and service

My local branch didn't have what I wanted in stock, so they suggested I went online. Ordering was extremely easy, and the parts arrived within 48 hours - without the customary barrage of texts and emails. Just - arrived.
Excellent service.

Haibike E-bike serviced. Excellent

Just had my Haibike E-bike serviced at EBC.
Efficient and excellent customer service. Very good value. Had previously had it serviced at Evan’s, but this was cheaper and much quicker.

Recommend them 100%

Super service and a good price on an awesome bicycle!

Excellent communication by staff. Bicycle delivered with great care in perfect condition. Delivery of bike was sooner than expected. The fact that the pedals and charger came a day later was fine.

Aberdeen store didn’t have any items I wanted( bags for gravel b.). No mention of this on website. Could supply in a few days! I travelled from Kirriemuir. On line order to Edin. message it would take a few days to move stock to mail. Bag arrived postage charges waived!

Hi Adrian, I'm afraid that we can't guartantee that any item on our website will be in every store at all times. However, you can click on the info bubble to check which stores have the item in stock, or you can call us to put something behind the till for you. We can also usually order what you want into store within a few days. If we've waived the delivery charge and posted them to you instead, that's fantastic. Let us know what we can do to get your experience up to a five star! Kind regards.

Cycling shoes

It was the only place that had the cycling shoes I wanted in stock. Items delivered and were as expected. Only gave 4 stars due to no communication other than an order confirmation email. Then silence until the package turned up. I’m just used to getting more comms emails I suppose (package on its way etc).

Hi Helen, thank you for your review. We did send a dispatch email along with receipt on the 29th when we shipped the order, however occasionally our emails route straight to the spam folder.

I put my bike in for its free six week service at the Aberdeen shop. Delighted with the service, friendly staff and promptness in completing the work.

I haven't yet received the ordered item (ordered over a month ago) and have not received any updates as to what is happening with it. Sadly, not your usual level of customer care.
