I think poor old Gail might be fighting a losing battle here.......


I've used 'em.  Didn't feel that well looked after and didnt get everything i asked for, but they only took money for the stuff they sent (as indeed seems right).


Having owned a small BMX shop myself in the past I can see whats going on up there and she's gonna have to make some sweeping changes if she really wants to keep a good relationship with the likes of us old gits.

We vote with our feet tha knows   :)


Thing is, how many members on here?  she has a ready-made contained marketplace and most of us have a little money to spend. Not good business to do anything other than spoil us rotten, if she's truly concerned about it.

In the meantime the likes of Alans, Firm, Billys and Cyclone go about their daily business serving repeat client after repeat client...... ;)

Guys,

I'm not suggesting Winstanleys haven't been utter pony when it comes to your experiences lately but it looks like Gail is certainly trying to put things right. I found her extremely helpful and very aproachable.

I ordered a set of stickers for me Haro............Gail gave me 10% discount, threw in some extra stickers, free P&P and as a sign of good will chucked in a DVD!!  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

If you got issues with the shop or more appropriately, her staff then I suggest you email Gail on the mail address above and I'm sure she'll do her best to put things right!!

Just my two penneth!!

It seems the only one making an effort is Gail.
Sack the twats on the counter and get some good staff in

lessons to be learnt here deal with ya local bike shop or haro dealer and get a good deal with them saves all this crap. most shops will try to match internet prices if they can to make a sale . any way winstanleys are not doin any one any favours totally  crap service.

I guess the question is then who else will sell one for £179?

It sounds like one would be an investment and I quite like the look!!

Any takers or shall I email gail, does she take paypal!!??

I see on the winstanleys website that the 06 sports are now at £199, still a bargain but I'll still give that shop a miss. I just popped into a local bike shop and noticed they had them in stock, asked the manager if he'd match the price and he was all too happy to sell me a boxed one for £199..... I should have haggled, I m sure i could have got it cheaper!
Just goes to show... if you dont ask, you dont get.
