Poor
customer
service
-
my
husband
surprised
me
with
a
bicycle
for
my
birthday
during
the
second
year
of
the
pandemic
(2021).
As
he
bought
it
online,
it
arrived
fully
assembled,
in
a
bicycle-shaped
cardboard
box.
Even
on
my
test
ride
it
had
a
slight
issue,
the
front
tyre
was
catching
on
something
(we
could
not
figure
out
what
it
was)
and
after
using
it
during
our
fourth
trip,
the
front
part
of
it
came
apart
-
luckily
it
happened
when
I
was
pedalling
slowly,
so
I
managed
to
jump
off.
After
this
I
did
not
ride
my
new
bike
as
I
did
not
trust
it.
My
husband
promised
to
take
it
back,
but
we
were
both
very
busy
in
work
(I
work
for
the
NHS,
he
works
in
funeral
care).
We
felt
reassured
that
our
'1
year
guarantee'
gave
us
time.
Little
did
we
know,
when
we
tried
to
have
the
bike
sorted
about
a
month
before
the
guarantee
expired,
the
Halford
shop
in
Wrexham
was
so
busy,
after
the
store's
mechanic
looked
at
it,
he
said
he
could
only
fix
it
if
we
are
placed
on
a
waiting
list,
which
would
take
us
two
months
past
the
guarantee
deadline.
When
I
got
upset
and
phone
the
store,
the
customer
service
representative
asked
me
to
read
the
guarantee/warranty
policy
online
(????).
When
I
rang
again
and
spoke
to
the
nationwide
customer
service,
I
was
promised
an
email
back
and
got
a
case
number
and
the
name
of
the
rep,
but
NOBODY
EVER
got
in
touch
with
me
to
sort
the
problem.
Now
I
have
a
bike
which
cost
£220
I
used
four
times
(Halfords
reps
did
not
believe
me
when
I
said
this,
because
I
kept
the
bike
for
months
-
the
condition
of
it
shows
that
I
truly
did
not
use
it
and
this
is
not
really
the
point
if
they
offer
a
1-year
guarantee).
Anyway,
long
story
short
-
MAKE
SURE
NOT
TO
BUY
A
BIKE
OR
ATTEMPT
TO
SORT
AN
ISSUE
WITH
HALFORDS.
THEY
DO
NOT
CARE
ABOUT
CUSTOMERS,
ONLY
THEIR
PROFIT.
Happy
birthday
to
me!!!!
