If I order anything from them I'll ring them 1st to doublecheck the stock situation. The one problem I did have & returned they refunded inc return post.

WINSTANLEYS!!!

Worst bmx shop ever!!
_____________________________________________________________

I ordered & pre-paid for a 2006 Hoffman Condor frame & BB in Nov 05...

I knew there would be a wait for it... but I waited until Feb 2006... finally they told me it had arrived..

So I went to the shop to collect what i'd pre-paid for...

and they said they'd just sold it to some one else!!

Ended up waiting another month for a replacement!!
______________________________________________________________

Another time, i ordered an Odyssey lever from them...

Not only did they tell me it was in stock... but he was looking right at it!!

So TWO months later... ( seriously TWO months ) after many calls...

i told them i wanted to cancel the order.... understandably!!

A month later... the money was taken out the bank... and the lever was sent out!!

______________________________________________________________

I've had loads of problems with them in the past and would NEVER use that store again!!

to be honest... I'm AMAZED they've managed to stay in business!! $:-\$

SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY DO NOT USE THEM!!

chris miller · « **Reply #18 on:** December 22, 2008, 01:25 PM »

Well the Winstanley saga continues. The wife Phoned them on Friday (19th) to check progress and was told that their supplier had sent the order out on Thursday (18th) so they should receive stock either that day or Monday. Asked if I could have a refund of P&P coz of the time I had been waiting - after all I did order on 1st Nov & they were in stock. Was told that a manager would have to call me back. Manager - Phil called back and said that he could no refund P&P because there was such a low markup on the bars but he could send me out 2 recently released BMX DVD's. When I said that surely he would loose more money on 2 "Recent Releases" he insisted that he would loose more on P&P!!! GO FIGURE. He said that he would check and call back. Didn't hear from him on Saturday so wife called again. He said he could refund P&P and would "Personally go to warehouse and check if stock had come in from supplier". He finally called back after 4 when supplier had gone home and he couldnt check so was going to call back today - Monday. Wife hadn't heard at 12pm so called again. Phil wouldn't speak to her - said he was busy (A-hole!). Spoke to Mark. Mark said that suppliers are going to ship stock to them tomorrow - 23rd. Wife went mental saying that Amy and Phil had lied about stock being shipped on Thursday because it now turns out that they will be shipped tomorrow - baring in mind this is about the 20th delivery date we have had!! Couldn't guarantee we would get them before xmas and wouldn't guarantee they would be in tomorrow either. Told him that other people had slated them on RAD but that I gave him the benefit of the doubt and got the usual spiel about "not charging my card". Wife went wappy at them and told them what a shower they are. HEED A WARNING PEOPLE - DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COWBOY OUTFIT!!

harris · « **Reply #19 on:** December 22, 2008, 01:30 PM »

I ordered from them last Tuesday, 36H Chrome Sun Big City, couldn't get one anywhere else.

Got the standard you have ordered email, saying it'll take 3 days before dispatch, blah blah.

Arrived Friday morning.

i live 5 mins away and have avoided them when ever i could even if it meant driving all the way into town to use alans . five or six of my mates have worked there over the years including chris mahoney and every one of them have been sacked for punching chris who s the bosses son because he s a vvanker , seriously though , this aint no one man band . there new warehouse and shop is absolutely massive , u stand in there shop and look into the warehouse and it must have a few thousand bikes in boxes . they are complete arseholes though and always have been . needs torching
