Original service was very poor. Luckily it got sorted. Still a Brand new bike had a broken charger, and paintwork damage which took the excitement off the purchase. The staff were really poor but director did rectify with a paint stick and apology.

We ordered a whyte Electric bike

We ordered a whyte Electric bike , it arrived without the bolts for the handle bars, they was sent out in the post to then discover that one of the bolts wouldn't screw in as the top was damaged so i contacted them again for another replacementpart, to then discover the bike had scratches , these bikes are supposedly throughly checked before being dispatched all in all not very impressed

We are sorry that your bike did not arrive in the condition expected. Please be assured that all bikes are thoroughly checked and were in good condition when they left our store. Unfortunately, items can occasionally be damaged or lost in transit.

To make amends for the inconvenience, we have sent a replacement stem and provided a partial refund. We hope your next experience with us is a better one, as we want all our customers to be happy with their purchases.

Please get in touch if there is anything further we can assist you with.

Kind regards,

The Team @ Leisure Lakes Bikes Southport

Hi David,

Very sorry we have messed things up for you and this wasn't a smooth expereince we hope all of our customers to have.

Unfortunately it looks like several human errors have been at play here and I will use this as an example to have a chat with our teams to ensure we get things right in the future.

Apologies to you again David, we should absolutely do better!

Thanks
Will

Very let Down

I ordered MTB clothing and shoes for my forthcoming cycling holiday , communication from the get go was pretty poor I am sorry to say , it was an online order that I bought on finance that aspect went fine but taking your money usually does go fine , the parcel logistics were awful I requested DPD but got Parcel Farce and what a farce Six no shows over an 8 day period that stretched to a final cancellation & a refund no clothes for my holiday
Had to chase the online sales team at Leisure Lakes for updates the nearer my holiday loomed the more I chased, in all fairness a guy called Will did try to help but was met with the Parcel Farce tracking app that gave little information except the Parcel was not being delivered today again &again
For an online business that relies on a courier network that is unable to relay the progress of its packages in realtime is a big handicap,
I would not use Leisure Lakes ever again purely based on the fact they didn’t deliver
My contract was with the supplier not Parcel Farce and I feel very let down

Hi Steven,

Apologies for the service you received in terms of the alternative courier service being used, I can only assume there were reasonable measures for that being chosen for your delivery, albeit not great when Parcelforce then failed to deliver on time/at all.

Please accept our apology at this point

Kind Regards

Two bikes by post

I ordered two bikes from Leisure Lakes Bikes. Both delivered promptly and carefully prepared. Helpful support service.

Great service

Ordered a bottom bracket online. Hoped I'd got the right one but chose click and collect so I could check on pick-up. Staff quickly assessed old BB and crank and advised me I needed a different one and sent me away with the correct item. Very friendly and helpful.

Outstanding

Leisure Lakes Bikes have been going for over 40 years and I have used their services for over 8 years now.

In 2021 I bought an expensive EMTB from Leisure Lakes Bikes and I paid more for the bike than what other (sole online retail) retailers could offer me at the time.
Leisure Lakes Bikes have decent physical bike shops all over the area I live where their stock can be viewed in person, ordered in if required.

I am so pleased that I made the purchase through Leisure Lakes Bikes, as their after sales services have been outstanding, invaluable.
From; warranty work, working with insurers, upgrades, repairs, services, etc.

Their staff are all; knowledgeable, hardworking, enthusiastic and friendly.
Big up to all the guys and girls at the Preston Hub 🤙

Buying a bike from these guys is more than just buying a bike, you're buying into a cycling family with over 40 years of riding success.

Proactive Service

I bought a ladies saddle to go with the bike and they called up to ask if they could fit it to the bike for me before shipping it.
The delivery worked really, with ideal packaging
