“Outstanding”

David H.
1/8/23

I've ordered numerous bike parts from Tradeinn, all have been flawless. Top quality products with unbeatable prices, and excellent customer service if you need it. A couple times delivery has been a little longer, but that's their fault, more the delivery company, they filled the orders fast.

Top Critical Review

“Horrible Customer Service and inept employees”

I bought 2 pairs of shoes - both 10.5 - the third pair they send is 10 and they blame me - I never ordered a size 10 - makes no sense - then they say I have to pay nearly the price of the shoes to return them. Go elsewhere

Ik heb een nieuwe hengel gekocht van colmic de Carp speed4.0 11,50m. Normaal een tophengel Na mijn 1e vis is de hengel gebroken op mijn 2e deel vooraan op het stuk. Als het breekt door een vis breekt het deel van de hengel in het midden en niet 20cm van het begin. Ook was de hengel niet deftig ingepakt. Enkel in een kartonnen doos en zonder bescherming. Koop NOOIT via tradeinn. Heb je toch problemen met hen is er een juridische dienst in belgie die zo zaken proberen op te lossen voor u. Schandalig dat zo iets nog kan gebeuren!

I purchased a Karcher K7 pressure washer from what I had assumed was their UK website as everything was in English. They sent me an EU version of the product, fitted with an EU plug. Karcher UK advised me not to use it in the UK, not even with an adapter so I arranged for it to be returned on the grounds I had been sent the wrong product as there was NO information on the website or product page that indicated it would be supplied with an EU plug, it wasn't something I even considered, until I opened the packaging.
While I did receive a refund for the returned K7 from bricoINN, they withheld the original £16.99 shipping charge and have since refused to refund this, against their Returns Policy, which clearly states incorrectly supplied products would be refunded in full.
My experience of dealing with their customer support by email has been long and tedious and they have constantly tried to blame me for ordering the wrong product. They have even modified the product web page to include information about the plug type being EU and suggested I should have been aware of this! Despite me providing a screen dump of the original product web page showing this change had only recently been made, they still tried to tell me all their products were supplied with EU plugs, as if that should make a difference. Had their website or product page made it perfectly clear their products were supplied with an EU plug, I would not have ordered it from them!
I asked support to provide me with details of their complaints process as the same support person (Julia) was simply re-iterating the same old excuse. They failed to do this and have now stopped responding to my emails.
I have now raised a formal complaint through Confianza Online.
Due to the long delivery timescales and even longer return timescale, this issue has been ongoing for over 2 months now.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid bricoINN if you live in the UK. All their electrical products are supplied with an EU plug. Unfortunately, they didn't make this clear on their English website and now refuse to accept responsibility for sending me an EU version of a Karcher K7 pressure washer, when I expected a UK version (why wouldn't I?).

I ordered a motorcycle windshield. The GIVI AF260. After days of back and forth I was given the option of a partial refund or return what was shipped. I'm assuming their error put my ethics in question. This is one of the most frustrating interactions regarding a purchase I can recall. I would never order from this company again. I'm sure they are good people trying to do a good job, but they, or customer service, failed to recover my experience. Never ever again will they have that opportunity. Pics show what was received and what was ordered

Tip for consumers:
I looked at the “About Us” section on their website, the picture of employees outside their warehouse. The thought of all those hard working people, who I’m sure need their jobs, being put in jeopardy due to bad management is disconcerting. Their overall reviews reflect a business crisis in my view. Nothing in the service recovery phase gives me hope that they are improving.

Products used:
I’m unclear what the refund will entail. I don’t feel like I have much recourse. It’s too frustrating to continue the back and forth. I’ve ordered from Cycle Gear and expect a delivery within a week.

I purchased an item in August 2023. You sent the wrong item and I therefore returned with proof of return. I am 6 months down the line and still not been refunded for an expensive purchase of a wrong item you sent me.

3 months I have been waiting for my purchase on the 11th December. Shocking customer service. Non existent. No refund. No money back. Just texting back and forward with 'Bots' so that eventually you will give up hope. Bad company policy. Could be a scam. Cannot be trusted.

Tip for consumers:
Some people would say that this is just blatant theft and this is how they run their business.
Something has to be done to stop this sort of thing from ever happening again. Shop elsewhere! Dealing with these people is not a good experience.

I ordered shoes and paid $80+ for them. They sent me a picture of the package, the tracking info says they were shipped yesterday but no one can confirm it. I would avoid this site. The tracking number works through their site, but USPS claims to have no such package. $80 is a lot for me and I spent it carefully and just got shoes I needed.i figured I ended up getting robbed essentially. Stay away.

Tip for consumers:
That it was unreliable, full or bots, zero humans to help and even their bots .they only spoke to me in Spanish and German and when they spoke English, I couldn't get through 3 questions before it started all over. This was a nightmare. Continues to be one

Products used:
None. My shoes, my $80 shoes never came. I saved for weeks for them. I'm not very well off and I am so sick of the monsters always winning.

I'll keep this written review short and simple.

I'm giving TradeInn.com 3/5 stars:

Quality brands
Pricing
Diversity of products

The main reason I may never order again is because of their shipping fee. Not to mention I had to wait for almost 3 months to receive my order.

If you want to hear my experience with this website, watch the attached video.

For the most part, I am satisfied with the products I got from them, and their customer support made me feel assured that the package will arrive.

Hoping that you find this review informative. Please hit, "Thank you", "Helpful", or leave a comment.

Thanks for reading and/or watching! Stay safe and healthy

Tip for consumers:
expect a long wait for the shipping, check with the post office

The product cost me $83 and they want $52 to ship it back because I got the wrong size. Also I tried filing a support ticket to ask them about what was wrong with that and their response made no sense at all. Avoid buying from them.

Placed an order and was told it should arrive in 10 days. It's now been over two and a half months. Tracking information shows the package has not been delivered. Repeated emails to them have resulted in lies and complete passing the buck useless responses. These guys do not take pride in their work and they do not care about their customers. Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Their prices are just a cover for a big scam to lure you in and have you pay for something that will likely never arrive, if it was sent at all. I repeatedly sent them emails with my order # and tracking # they gave me. Now, they're simply not responding back.

I ordered new bike carbon wheels. The product is OK, the delivery time was in accordance with the stated deadline.
But...
Be careful when ordering anything on invoice as an EU company. Shop doesn't calculate a net price - so you have to pay a gross amount. You then receive a VAT refund, but the amount is calculated by their finance department to your detriment.
They have given me too little money, they have not been able to answer my questions clearly for over a week. The customer service is tragic. Respond, but avoid clearly answering straightforward questions - such as how they calculated the amount to be reimbursed. I advise against!
I feel cheated!

Tip for consumers:
Be careful when buying as an EU company - no option for net price on the platform, you pay gross amount and then receive a refund equal to VAT value. In my case they calculated strange net value so I was cheated out of money at the end.

They advertise easy returns but fail to say it will be very expensive as you are shipping internationally. Expect to pay 20% of the value of your item to get it back to them. No accountability for poor product description or incorrect labelling. I will never buy from them again even if it's cheaper, any returns will make it way more expensive than buying locally. Shocking customer service.

Tip for consumers:
They scam you on returns. It costs a fortune to send anything back even when it’s their fault (because you can’t get them to accept it’s their fault)

Total scam. First, my shipment was delayed by nearly 2 weeks, even though according to their website the items were in stock. Then they finally sent the items, but the shipment itself was cancelled and the items were returned to their warehouse without my knowledge and approval. I still don't know what was the reason of the shipment being cancelled. I'm still waiting to get my money back. Customer service responds with automated replies and says things that make no sense.

Avoid at all cost. I should have read the reviews earlier.

I ordered a fishing reel. It was a 7-day challenge to do so, as all my payment methods the site does not accept, but I managed to make the order and fully pay for the product. On the second day they just cancelled the order (completely paid order) without a reason. I did get my money back, though I have never seen such horrible service in my entire life. They do not respond via email. They do not respond to calls. Unbelievable. Waste of time.

Very poor customer service.
I bought a bike part from them due to their estimated 5 day delivery.
3 weeks after ordering from them, still no delivery.
They just respond with standard emails asking me to wait longer for delivery.
They refuse to refund my purchase costs.

No not use this site

I read a number of negative reviews online and naively decided to proceed with an order anyway. Prior to placing the order I emailed them to confirm the item was in stock and would be delivered within the advertised timeframe, which I was assured it would.

After one week they cancelled the order and now won't respond to emails.

Please don't make the same mistake I did - avoid at all costs.

Very unprofessional im not sure how this company exists at all? Scam 💯 do buy anything here!

Tip for consumers:
Yes absolutely.
Don’t buy here be smart use safer brands and more professional staff.

Ordered 2 months ago. Did NOT receive the item. Customer service does not exist. So no refunds whatsoever. DO NOT BUY! I don't think they are selling anything. They just charge you and probably never send the item. Tracking number never updated.

I bought a few products over the times off this site, mainly cycling and climbing equipment.
I come for the price and the products are always as advertised, plus the variety is incredible!
On the down side delivery could be cheaper and delivery times better.
Customer service - they answer within a day or two, but don't expect much from it:)
Bottomline I'll continue buying as long as the deal is good or no one else selling carrying that specific product.

I said I would upgrade my review of Bikeinn if I received the item I ordered in less than one month.
The package arrived today. The on-line tracking function, which had remained static since May 17, had suddenly burst into activity in the last two days.
The item I ordered arrived in perfect condition. My only complaint remains the slow shipping, which is perhaps typical of items shipped from Europe to the United States. I would have been less unhappy about the slow shipping if I had seen some evidence that things were still progressing towards delivery.
I will consider Bikeinn for future purchases when there is no rush to have the parts in hand.
Revised to four stars. Proof of purchase provided in my earlier review.

Tip for consumers:
Don't expect delivery for a loooong time. Mine eventually arrived in just under a month.

I had just ordered a flashlight from a Tradeinn website and then looked at the reviews here.
I was terrified. I thought "What have I done? I wanted to save a little money and now I've probably lost it all."
Instead, I received immediate emails from the site explaining when my package was going to be sent and when I'd receive it. It actually showed up a day early and was well packed and exactly what i ordered.
Now I didn't realize the website was based in Spain, and I probably would not have ordered if I knew that. It arrived in less than a week.
Anyway, maybe I was just lucky but I just wanted people reading this to know that I did have a very positive experience and saved about 40 per cent off the price of the flashlight on Amazon.

I was very skeptical about ordering from TradeInn Due to the horrible reviews! Glad I didn't listen to any of them. They have been very reliable on all of my orders (5). Some have taken longer than others but understandable in each case. Customer service has been top notch - always getting back with me immediately on any questions. Would I recommend TradeInn - Hell Yes! Will I continue ordering from them - ABSOLUTELY! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Tip for consumers:
Site makes it easy to find what you want. Prices are very reasonable and most of what I ordered was not available in the USA. Shipping fees are extremely reasonable !! Cheaper than shipping fees inside USA.

I bought a lot of items in one delivery, when package arrived I refused to sign and take the package because if was opened and damaged, so it was returned to Tradeinn, when they gut package they did not refund me fully, seems there was missing items and they refund me only for items that they gut, any respectful company would not charge customer for delivery he didn't get, they should have file claim against delivery company.
So I say careful do not buy of this thief's.

Do not buy of them they do not respect there own return policy , they are thief's
