Bought 2 Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres. Excellent value and arrived within 2 days so really impressed with their service. As for the tyres I use them on my road bike for touring. The previous ones have lasted for around 17,000 miles (swapping front for back half way through their life) with no punctures due to the tyres (one due to inner tube rubbing against spoke on inside of wheel as lining had slipped). Can’t say better than that!

It is February 2022 and I'm afraid I have to agree with many other reviews regarding customer services at Rutland Cycles being very poor. Phoned sales department and ordered £3000 e bike on 3rd February and although the bike eventually arrived two weeks later in a battered, torn box, I had no order number, no confirmation of purchase, no notification of delivery date and no communication at all despite contacting customer services several times by phone and emails. The pre inspection leaflet was totally blank apart from a squiggle signature on the back and could relate to any bike and there was no other paperwork included in the package. Questions and issues I have raised with Rutland Cycles since , have met with stony silence so far....a shocking way to treat customers. Is any attention paid to these reviews by the company?!!

DO NOT order bikes from their web site Purchased a Giant Talon 21 via cycle to work scheme. After a long period of radio silence I called the sales people who promised to dispatch ASAP and gave me an estimated delivery date, then nothing turned up. Called customer care who told me my order was now high priority, then nothing turned up. Here I am a month later paying for a bike that i'm starting to think never existed in the first place. Team were polite enough the few times I actually got hold of them but that is useless if it's all lies. Seen other reviews that suggest offering different delivery dates when you complain is a deceitful delaying tactic to hopefully have the thing you bought in stock in the future.

Ordering two small items in stock. Payed for express shipping. There’s nothing express about it. Takes 10 days just to process your order. Spend your money else where

Go elsewhere if possible Order placed on the 10th, multiple emails chasing for an estimated despatch date or even an order confirmation, fobbed of with ‘I will email the despatch department’. Finally got a order confirmation on the 21st after multiple calls and emails. Finally told they have it in stock at Milton Keynes store but will take days to get it to central despatch. Why is it still sat there 12 days after the order was made? Had to cancel the order on the 22nd, ordered from and alternative supplier delivered on the 24th.

Do not order from Rutland Cycling! I ordered a nut and the wrench I would need for the installation onto the bike. I am now 4 months later, still have no parts, no refund, and an awful experience with their customer service. Not worth the trouble!

My first and last experience with Rutland literally could not have been worse. Ordered on 11th Dec a Christmas present for my daughter. Expected delivery on 17th. Phoned on 20th (waited 15 mins in a queue) asking where my items were and were told it was in stock and I had been upgraded to 24hr delivery. Phoned on 21st (waited 15 mins in a queue) and told the same thing. Phone again 22nd (waited 15 mins in a queue) to be told guess what there is no stock and my items would not get to me in time for Christmas. We all buy online, we try not to buy everything from Amazon and use other retailers. You know what if this experience is anything to go by don't bother, certainly don't bother using Rutland. Zero stars would be generous.

Ordered a front light which said delivery in 2 days. After 2 emails with no reply and then 2 phone calls later, was told there was a problem with the despatch department and they’d look into it. Still not sent so cancelled order!

Had to chase up delivery 3 times, they use Parcel Force, the worst courier I have seen, no attempt to deliver just kept putting insufficient address, Rutland can't explain why they use them

Purchased an e bike ,less than 90 days ago ,for £3099 to include setting up and delivery. That was all fine. On day 86 the bike developed a major fault and is completely unusable. Eventually,it took ages,I spoke to someone who said it might be a software thing and to take it to a local shop. I did. It needs a new gateway in the hub and is unusable. The local shop not prepared to sort out any further for another retailer. Many emails and calls later they are suggesting I go to another local shop(there are none) and they will reimburse me. Rutland are the retailer. They sold it to me . They should sort it out not me.Either replace or refund me as within their 90 days as advertised on their website. I am furious. Happened 2weeks ago and have got precisely nowhere.

Worst experience ever, ordered bike 10.00am 8th September to be told next day delivery, Waited in all day nothing arrived so called customer service to be told that bike was damaged on checking ? Therefore not sent out Agreed on a replacement for delivery following day yet again nothing showed so called again to be told despatch had made an error so bike not sent , Delivery now arranged for Monday as it was now weekend Monday came and went with still no delivery, upon calling Joseph was told that he can't see no reason why bike still not despatched so he would send out following day (Tuesday) for same day delivery ,Tuesday came and went still no delivery and still no apology from Joseph or any customer service advisors ,I have now asked for refund and am awaiting on a response Will never use again or recommend to anyone

Well I brought a £6000 emtb from these guys and thought I choose the correct retailer. Well I collected my new addition and was given the bike and a small box of bits and bobs with NO explanation to features of the bike. They were very quick to offer me their maintenance packages which I turned down and that was the end of the interaction....thankyou goodbye!!! Great service NOT! So fitted my pedals and headed out to a very mild DH track to get a feel of my new beast!! Got a third of the way down and the hadle bars turned and threw me off the bike at which point I broke a thumb!! I finally got the bike back to my van and took it to my own certified bike mechanic who pointed out that ALL my cables where fitted twisted and not positioned correctly into the frame. He also highlighted that the torque settings had not been applied correctly hence why they came loose. BIKES ARE MEANT TO BE RIDEABLE STRAIGHT FROM THE STORE IM LUCKY I DIDNT GO STRAIGHT ONTO MY NORMAL DH SECTION. IWONT USE RUTLAND AGAIN FOR ANYTHING.

Custoemr services is shocking!!! I bought my daughters first Raleigh bike online from Rutland, all appeared fine upon delivery but when my 3yr old daughter came to ride it in the summer the tyre was flat. After unsuccessfully trying to pump up the tyre I contacted customer services. I found them very patronising right from the start basically intimating it was my fault that my daughter hadn't rode it so the inner tube must have perished (over the 3 months it was kept in my house in my dining room) but eventually they agreed as a "good will gesture" to send me a replacement inner tube. The inner tube came and when changing it the problem became more apparent - a 16" inner tube had been put in a 12" wheel. I fed back to customer services expecting them to apologise and take this up with the manufacturer but instead I was told that this was completely fine. A 16" inner tube in a 12" tyre on a brand new bike was fine?!! They followed this up by saying I should have reported any problems in the first 5 days after delivery......this is clearly not my fault so why am I being made to feel like I should be grateful for you not providing me with the quality of goods I expect and have paid for? I will not be shopping with Rutland again as they clearly have no care and compassion for their customers and I will be sharing this message with other consumers. I will also be taking the error up with Raleigh myself seeing as Rutland do not see this as a problem and seem to think this is perfectly acceptable.

Absolutely despicable customer service. I ordered a bike on 12 July and paid for premium delivery. Speaking to their sales agent, he mentioned it would be shipped on the 13thnand that I would receive a shipping notification. This came and went and I received no email. I followed up on the 14th and was told I'd receive a call. However I was left hanging with no response to my emails. I subsequently called customer service nearly a dozen times to find out the status of my bike order. For the first couple of time, I was passed on with "someone will contact you shortly" but lo and behold no one ever did. Three seperate times I was told the bike had been dispatched! It was supposed to be with me early this week. Today is 22nd July and I've called again to find out that the bike has STILL NOT been dispatched (despite being told it had!). I was even called by a sales manager who confirmed it had been. I have called again today only to be told that that "dispatch team" is looking at the order and it MAY be dispatched today. What an absolute disgrace - the customer service representative I spoke to was so unhelpful and abrupt in her responses. She could not confirm if I would even receive a response today to my request to let me know if it had or had not been dispatched. She also mentioned that I would now have to reconfirm my delivery? What that meant she could/would not elaborate! I had paid £100 for premium fast delivery and it is now two weeks in and I have yet to even receive a coherent response from Rutland ok whether they even have the bike and whether it would be dispatched. I suspect they have been untruthful in their stock availability and are delaying until the bike is available.

Very poor service, ordered and paid for bike, took 4 days to arrive (was told 2 working days) when it did arrive it was damaged, had to wait in another day for it to be collected as could not give a rough idea of time. Then told 3 days later they did not know how long replacement part would take (offered £10 voucher). Cancelled order and went with Tredz bikes, no issues whatsoever.

Today we visited Brixworth Country Park and the Rutland Cycles there. Arriving with a puncture Ellis could not have been more helpful and kind. He offered sound advice and replaced the inner tube within minutes. For such a young man he was very professional and certainly provided excellent customer care. Thank you Ellis for making our cycle today stress free!

If I could give a zero rating I would . Over 2 weeks to arrive by post . Blamed on Royal Mail but after contacting arrived two days later . Made the order on the phone deliberately to get correct size . Ordered size was advised on abs didn’t fit ! Waste of time!!! Absolute joke

Item never arrived. Promised I would have the bike today but tracking number provided is showing it hasn’t even left the depot or had any movement since they first emailed me the tracking number. Paid £2400 for a bike and have no idea where my bike is!. Dissapointed!. I also think it’s a hell of a coincidence suddenly they have no more stock of the bike I ordered. It makes me wonder if they actually even sent the bike to start with!. I am beyond unhappy!
