Lack of service and communication – Not really impressed at all with this bike shop. For starters, no one asked if we needed assistance and we were in the store for a good 10 minutes. Approached staff for help who were talking to each other at their register. Although a member of 99 bikes, we got overcharged and will need to be refunded the difference of the members price. We were… Read more
advised that we would get a call when the bike came in. Over two weeks later had to call the store for an update to learn that the bike was in store and ready to be collected. On the same day we went to pick up the bike at 5pm and get the refund only to witness two staff members closing up an hour early. We were given no explanation other than an apology that they were no longer open. Waste of time and energy. Hope the bike is worth all of this and will not likely go back to this store to get the service.

Fantastic Service in Penrith Store form Ethan – Spoke to Ethan and he was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable about the products I required. After talking options he did the height measurement and configured the bike I chose (without an pressure) and also help with bike conversation bars for other bikes. And he also went out of his way to show the best practice of put new bike on our bike rack on vehicle. Thank you Ethan for Fantastic Service. Show details
Merida big tour – Norman and everyone at the store were helpful with my enquiry on a new E bike and ended up with the bike to best fit my needs. Very happy with my new bike and would definitely recommend them. Thanks Martin Show reply

Absolutely crap product – What a rip off I spent $3200 on two bikes that literally started falling apart within six months then when I took it back, it wasover the warranty period and they still looked like brand new. Don’t waste your money better off buying a bike from Kmart every six months Show details
Terrible customer service – Just spent $4700 on 2 new bikes and a bike carrier. Went to price up a bike rack for the rear of my husband’s bike, waited over 10 minutes to be acknowledged in the store only for them to tell me they won’t be able to advise me what rack would be suitable unless I bring the bike in. WT# we only picked it up a couple of weeks ago and it’s still on… Read more

Never Answer their phone – I recently made a mountain bike purchase. It was difficult to arrange a pick up due to a lack of communication but we eventually got there. Trying to sort out the bikes first service now and it is impossible. The phone rings and rings until it rings out or they just pick up the phone and then hang up. When I have managed to get a hold of them, it… Read more
is an effort to speak to me and I feel rushed. No doubt they are busy but customer service is what it’s all about. C’mon guys. Surely you can do better.

SAD, FELT NOT VALUED AS CUSTOMERS – We followed up our order by emai, we did not receive any ACKNOWLEDGMENT REPLY, and we did not receive a REPLY to our inquiry. We rang the Store, got told we would be called back, NO CALL BACK was made to us. We went to the Store personally, got told the Bike we ordered woul be assembled the following day. We didn’t receive any update the… Read more · 4
following day so, we visited the Store again only to be told the person who was supposed to assemble our Bike did not report to work. Our sentiment is WHY ARE WE BEING TREATED THIS BAD? We DON’T feel valued. We feel ignored and dismissed. We only want to be given the courtesy of being informed on the status of our order. It has been more than two weeks now since we ordered the Bike. Isn’t it our CONSUMER RIGHT to be updated?
