chain reaction cycles awful customer service

[Faghetaboutit]

Hi there has anyone else had bad dealings with chain reaction cycles customer service? I purchaced a magura service kit from them over a month ago, it never showed so I rang to see what the crack was. They said it has been put on back order as the item is out of stock, I asked when the item would be in stock and the said magura had given them no date. I then asked for a refund as I couldn't wait forever and they said that was fine. Since the first phone call I have made 4 further calls to them to chase this refund up, everytime they claimed the money would be returned the following morning as they don't process refunds afyter dinner time?! Wtf I feel as if I'm being fobbed off big time.

Sorry always been superb for me, they even provided me with very reduced cranks when mine broke after 2 years due to a suspected fault or bad treatment.

Yeah same here. But I guess things can always go wrong... they have had some troubles going on...

Paid with Visa debit? Phone your bank and ask them to do a chargeback if it is within 120 days.

the only flaw with crc is the lack of "sales" stock, bar that ive always had a good service from them for about 7-8 years now , goodluck with you're re-fund,

I like CRC for choice and value and nice website but...... ordered some bits on Weds night, paid additional £4.99 for 24hr delivery option (expecting delivery on Friday) and guess what...........

NOTHING!!

Hopefully my bits will make an appearance in the morning??

Have stopped using them. They never have what I want in stock and usually have a few weeks lead time to get it in stock. Rang another shop when I was after some brakes who also didn't have them in stock but got them off Hope within a couple of days. You would think CRC would have enough buying power to get stock quickly unless they have exhausted credit streams maybe?

Superb company, sure they F up once in a while but I can count the poor experiences in the single digit percentage.

Personally I like Wiggle a bit more due to their listed stock levels. But it is good to hear that MM got stiffed by CRC, they obviously have class, maybe I should start using them again in support.
