Very angry. Buying a new bike is supposed to be an exciting time, but not so with my ‘buying’ experience with evans. Not even gonna go into the details! £825 gone. No bike. No way of contacting . Awful.

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF BUYING A BIKE ONLINE FROM THEM! Waited over three weeks to get an email informing me the bike had shipped, a week later still no bike and cannot contact anyone... this business will definitely go bust!!!

100 year heritage is currently going down the pan due to the service being provided to their clients. Money taken instantly, whilst delivering the products is not happening with no way of contacting them to ask what's going on. Have a look at TrustPilot or Evan Facebook page to understand the extent of the issue. Phonelines closed, web chat unavailable, emails non responsive, FB messenger non responsive. It goes on.... I'm on day 22 and still no bike, no knowledge of when it will be delivered and no way of cancelling because you can't get hold of them.

Extremely poor communication unfulfilled delivery, no response from the contact page. Email to customer services with no reply for over 7 days. Still have no idea when or if my purchase will arrive. Absolutely shocking.

Phones not answered, web chat never available, don't reply to emails, they take the money and then nothing happens. If they are that overstretched, stop taking orders! Will never use them again even if the bike does eventually turn up.

Worse online shopping experience ever. Don’t believe ‘in stock’ status or delivery times, both a complete lie. Don’t expect any customer service, cannot call anyone, web chat is never available, you can email customer services but there is a 14day response time, which has long passed. Still have no idea when or if my purchase will arrive. Absolutely shocking.

Placed order and was told it would be 10 days. After three weeks got a note to say my order had been 'dispatched', but no way of tracking. One week later, still no bike, and no way to contact them. Even their shops can't tell me when it will arrive. Buy elsewhere

INFURIATING The people in the shops are lovely but the head office management is spectacularly bad. Originally I'd bought a bike there thorugh insurance and had it delayed and stuck and reviewed. When I asked for a discount because I'd had to pay out for public transport for 8 weeks while it all stretched out, I was told they wouldn't be making a profit if they did that, sorry. Fast forward a few years and my steering column snaps mid cycle with no warning landing me on the street with luckily no major injuries. I took it in for what I would have expected to be some acknowledgement of a product defect and instead I get a bunch of phony excuses. I had to chase them for MONTHS for what was originally only promised to be 2 weeks. They then recommended me the wrong size fork, no sympathy, no discount. I really feel for the nice people that do work there but it is an awful company as all of these reviews demonstrate. just DON'T.

Do not use this company. Take all your money then say it’s not available and don’t refund and you can’t contact them. Please read reviews before making your purchase.

Placed an order with yourselves on 21/4/2020 with an expected delivery 14-18 days. On the 15/05/2020 I received an email from Tuffnells saying they had my order. On the 18/05/2020 I called Tuffnells - no help Received at email from Evans stating my order was dispatched the day before so would be out for delivery - THIS WAS A LIE On the 19/05/2020 I called Tuffnells again and was informed Evans were running a 2 day delay in their dispatches. 21/05/2020 - called Tuffnells ringing for over an hour - NO ANSWER 23/05/2020 - Have emailed, fb messaged, tweeted, called Evans and Tuffnells to NO AVAIL I would definitely think twice before or from these again. You have made an otherwise bad situation worse. The reason for the order in the first place was someone had stolen my bike.

Don’t buy from them. They accept your payment. They don’t deliver as they promise. They deliver with months delays without keeping you informed and you get missing and broken items. It’s unbelievable how perfect they look and how bad quality they provide in everything.

The worst online retail experience of my life... Probably the worst online retail experience I have ever had... - Said it would be 10 - 14 day delivery online - Taken my payment online £1000 - Heard nothing for 28 days - Web chat offline all day everyday - No response to email 14 days ago - No response to Facebook message 7 days ago I'm now stuck in limbo and cannot do anything - regardless of COV-19 this company should not be allowed to profiteer by misleading customers. Had I known the above was going to happen I would never have ordered - they know there is an issue yet are still taking peoples money. Disgraceful...

Ordered a bike, delivery lead times stated 10-14 days at time of ordering. 19 days later no bike, I complained to customer service member and they said bike would be sent out on Monday (day 21) and I would receive delivery email that day. It is now day 22 and no delivery email. I tried complaining to customer service chat and got through THREE separate times. On each occasion the CS member (always someone called Sam) ignored me for 20 mins (as in didn't reply at all) and then they ended the chat without any notice. Disgusting way to treat customers.

Just went to Evans Manchester Deansgate today seeking help with my bike puncture. The staff were hugely overworked and with a massive backlog of repairs to do. I had passed by on Saturday and there were long queues along the bloc. Despite everything, they really helpful and welcoming. They went the extra mile to help me out, even when it turned out that my inner tube was of a funny size and not available for replace. I just want to say a huge thank you to Evans Deansgate! You really made a massive difference and allowed me to move around again in lockdown. I really appreciate it - thank youuuuu!
