    it's all gone pete tong!
    seem like a good deal at first with competitive priced products, reasonably well set out website and that all inportant free (fast) delivery. But as usual there is always a catch.
    I've order a number of items from CRC over the last few months but my latest purchase has left me wondering how "valued" the customer is? Ordered a long sleeve jersey, and some other bits, but on arrival the contents of the bag labelled "long sleeve" was actually a "short sleeve". okay no big deal I'll call them up and inform them to check their stock before sending it back, err no chance of getting through on the phone in fact you get put through to an unmanned voicemail??? and then cut off?! so I emailed them using the address on the invoice - still waiting 2 days later...rubbish. These guys need to realise that they are not the only internet bike company around.

    i have used chain reaction several times, they have a huge range of products, though not always in stock. cheapest prices i could find anywhere. excellent free delivery, everything i have ordered has been delivered within 3-5 days, depending on day ordered.(even during the royal mail strikes). never had any problems so cant comment on customer service. overall very impressed. recommended.

    Well I have used CRC before in the past and they were ok but it seems to have all gone wrong.

    I have ordered a set of bars on the sale after a week I chased them up with an email and then suddenly they canceled the order. Got the money back about a week later. I ordered a second set of bars assuming it was a simple error, they sent me the right bars in the wrong size. So I sent these back for exchange and then chased them after a few days, got the response the bars you ordered are not available ...

    Ordered on a Saturday before a bank holiday. I received an email at 08:20 on the following Tuesday to say the goods had been dispatched. The goods arrived 10:00 Wednesday. Fast & faultless service from Chain Reaction Cycles.

    I ordered a number of goods and only the small value items arrived. The large value items were not included and my order was marked as complete. Chain Reaction Cycles did not reply to e-mails and their phone line was always engaged.

    I raised a dispute through Paypal and only then did I get a response. Instead of an apology and fast resolution they asked that I post them back the packing note. Eventually I obtained a fax number and contact name and sent it back to them.

    They did send me the g ...

    Great assortment of both parts and personal gear at Chain Reaction Cycles. Fairly easy to navigate the site, good search function. Prices are often very tempting, but after a few clicks it gets a bit annoying finding out that the item on sale up front has the wrong dimension or size - the item you want is often slighty more expensive, if available at all. Still, I've always managed to find the stuff I need at a better price than ordering the same item in Sweden.

    Which brings us to the only real ...

    Chain Reaction Cycles is a very thorough cycling website with a huge range of product. Customer service was a bit slow. I emailed a question about the compability of the things I was buying and it took 3 days to get a response. But when I did get a response it was very good. Prices are amongst the cheapest out there. Delivery was quick on the first order I made but slower on the 2nd order. But no problems with it. A couple of the components I ordered came just wrapped in bubble wrap, not in a ma ...

    I Ordered a pair of Endure short size medium from Chain Reaction, which were fine. Then ordered another pair of Endura shorts in the same size, but 3/4 length.

    These did not fit at all. As they were the exact same brand I wore them straight away. They won't take them back as they are worn, but this left a bitter feeling with me. Customer service is not symphatetic at all, and I'm E 60,- poorer. Partly my fault, but I would expect better service, or at least a warning, because they should know ...

    Although I'm not a biker I found Chain Reaction Cycles website whilst looking for some Sealskinz waterproof gloves and glove liners. My order went through without a hitch.However, the one improvement that I would recommend to this company would be that they send out a "dispatch of goods" email before you receive the goods as no-one was at home to take delivery of my goods. Excellent website with a good selection of cycle parts and outdoor clothing.Quick, near perfect delivery time (read my com ...

    Never, ever had a problem with these fellas in my 3 years of dealing with them. Prices are mostly some of the best around.
    No postage and packing either, something others should catch on too, and quick.

    Been looking at this company for a while. I spend a fair amount each year on bike stuff and was impressed by the choice and fair prices plus free delivery. So I decided I'd place a smaller trial order and see how they perform before chancing larger sums. Well the particular item was not in stock so I requested an email notification upon their arrival. A few day later I received a notification that they were now in stock. placed the order. I then checked the following day on order progress and i ...

I was very happy with the service I received and the quality of the goods.I will definitely be back next ti ...
