“Online mail order purchase UNBIASED”

Written on: 16/05/2013 by ATaylor707

My mission was to find a cheap hybrid for a friend of mine who is just about to start cycling. I wanted to use a proper bike so eliminated the usual suspects. After visiting several LBS's, I decided on a bike and checked online for reviews. I found the same bike at J E James,, brand new (not ex-demo like the LBS) at a better price. I have 2 road bikes but was considering another bike to use when camping etc, and was so impressed with the price that I ordered one for myself as well. I won't... (read more)

“Poor quality bearings, poor quality axle, poor everything”

Written on: 10/05/2013 by Rosscopk (1 review written)

After being sent the wrong quantity of bearings (short by half), after inspection showed they were all pitted!! What is going on here? Sold as weldtites but clearly not. Replacements were promised but are still AWOL long after delivery was promised. The axel for a shimano hub arrived also arrived damaged with the cone cover bashed and off centre. The person on the phone answers like some disgruntled teenager and couldn't care that I'm now stuck without parts and missing a weekend away group... (read more)

“Reasonable prices, quick and helpful service”

Written on: 10/05/2013 by KarenCC (1 review written)

I used this company to order bike tyres. I'd not heard of them before and had not read any reviews. They appeared to be the cheapest and one of the few which stocked the size/type I required. I was very impressed. I placed an order for the 2-7 day delivery option (rather than the next day) though I was taking a risk because ideally, I needed them for the weekend (5 days later). My card failed to verify initially so I dropped them an email to ask them to contact me asap with any... (read more)

“Poor Service & Delivery”

Written on: 07/05/2013

Ordered from JE James as the item was a few quid cheaper than normal preferred suppliers Wiggle, Evans & Chain Reactions. Their customer communications are really poor. You have no idea whether your item has been dispatched. Furthermore, The shipping times is way too long. I called today, and told my item has not been shipped. I've ordered items from Wiggle and the other suppliers and never waited this long. Think they are taking orders on product they say they have in stock and don't... (read more)

I left ordering my daughters bike until the last minute. I ordered the bike on line and requested next day dispatch, not thinking that I would have any chance of getting it.

“Cheap value prices, wide range, fast delivery”

Written on: 13/03/2013

I ordered a bicycle pannier from them, it was over half the price than offered at other online shops eg bobbins bikes, which was obviously bloody fantastic alone. It also arrived very quickly by courier which alerted me to delivery times by text, and delivery was free. They have a pretty wide range of other bike bits like bags and lights etc so I will definitely be checking their website before ordering anything from my usual wiggle.com (no disrespect to wiggle) in the future Highly recommended (read more)

Written on: 13/03/2013

I have purchased from JE James via telephone previously and had a good experience, so decided to use them again to purchase my new bike. What a mistake!! Tried to place my order only to betold gruffly "that it would be easier to do it on line to get free delivery" and the phone was hung up without any chance to say anything else You would think that in these trying economic times traders would welcome business. I can assure you that I would not waste my time or effort to try and do any... (read more)

Written on: 09/04/2013

I must challenge this comment. Our customer services never hang up on a customer and always give our customers the cheapest option for their order (hence the advice to order to receive Freepost). I think you have misinterpreted the intention of advice for your benefit as a negative attitude.
I would like to discuss this with you so please contact us and ask for the manager.

I would just like to say I have ordered two things on two separate orders over the last couple days and I can honestly say the customer service and delivery times have been fantastic. This combined with the great price I paid for the items will definitely make me put yourselves at the top of the list when purchasing my next lot of cycling equipment.

Ordered Fulcrum Racing 3 Wheel set, these were in stock and were promptly shipped ( to Australia ). I had one contact with JEJames re ETA (via email ) as they took a while to arrive and this was promptly responded to. Shipping to Australia a bit slow ( large item - 10 - 15 days ) - price of shipping $30 fantastic. Overall have recommended to friends. (read more)

“Worst online shipping ”

Written on: 18/01/2013 by Fpiedade1

Of the major cycling Internet shopping websites this is by far the worst. Ordered a pair of cycling shoes when I thought that I was grabbing a bargain but it was a waste of money and a waste of my time. When the ordered arrived I was amazed with the box they used to pack, was an amazon used box, looked like I was buying from a seller in eBay rather than an cycling website. The shoes were useless as they didn't have an adapter for any kind of pedals they were a very old stock. And then to... (read more)

(Comments I originally sent via mail) I’d just like to take the chance to offer you my thanks for what has been a very pleasant experience. Using your 11DAY discount code I’ve been unable to find this bike cheaper anywhere else on the net. Free delivery was also a huge bonus, and the delivery service was second to none. I’m really pleased with the bike thus far, and I’d be more than happy to recommend you to friends and family. Thanks again (read more)

Had some great service from J E James Cycles... thought I'd share my experience with others! Ordered my goods at 10:45pm. Had an acknowledgement within minutes, and an email first thing the following morning to say my goods had been despatched. The courier company then got in touch with tracking information and a 1 hour time slot for delivery, and then delivered on time. If only all online shopping was this easy! Can't fault the service, and would recommend to all that you use J E Cycles. (read more)

I needed a few things for a few bike projects: inner tubes, outer brake cable, cable ends & seats.

I was recommended JeJames by a friend who had used in the past. After researching all the usual bike companies I found that the bike I wanted was £50 cheaper. Coupled with the fact they offer free delivery, which for me arrived the next day using DPD, was a brilliant experience seeing as I has never used them before. Only thing I will say for improvement is perhaps a more user friendly website, more filters, categorises etc. Will definitely be using again. (read more)
