I just received my Campagnolo Bora Ultra 50 wheelset bought online from Race View Cycles.   Bought on their website, got order confirmation, shipping confirmation and tracking number so I was able to track my package from Europe to the U.S.   Got the package in less than a week and well packaged.     Could not have been more pleased with my purchase and ease of purchase and pricing and shipping....ALL WAS GOOD.   Would buy again from Race View Cylces.   I know I saw a few negative comments so I was slightly worried, but it was a good experience and really love the new wheels!   Give them a try!

Thanks for your post. I have read this thread with interest and am gobsmacked at some of the responses and negativity. I think that if a company was this bad, we would have heard about it in the news, or in the papers, or on Watchdog, or on a programme with Dom, or something else. so I think the negativity is just sour grapes, (do adults call it fake news now?) and probably just pissed off competitors. There are so many threads here where someone asks for a recommendation and the whole forum descends to slag off the company. It's as if you can't say anything positive about good, hardworking people anymore.

Anyway I am looking at buying an Enigma for Christmas, I really, really, really hope that Santa can collect in time to deliver it to me.

In spite of seeing all the negative posts, and evidence, and emails and everything, I think that I won't have any problems and that they will give me good service.

I'll be back with a new log-in to report my positive experience (just like everyone else) because I like being anany anouny amouny  a secret person.

I feel a victory here, beat the negative reviews.

Congratulations on such an emphatic win; it must have been so satisfying to receive your corkscrew; what a bonus that the box was thrown in free of charge!  I wonder how those of us have been f*cked about and lost time and money to the crooks who run RaceView will ever come back from such a crushing defeat.

I notice that the steady stream of new posts has driven this thread back to the top spot on Google for the search term "Race View Cycles", so I'm just clinging onto that really.

I am also one who online shopped and came across Race View Cycles for an item I was searching.

Like others, I was not familiar with the site, it was foreign, so I took to reviews and such. Some of the brutal negative reviews used language that sent red flags up for me. My instinct guided me to a low risk probability that my experience would be as horrific. Took the gamble and made my on line purchase 2 weeks ago 31Oct17.

I immediately received an email confirmation, shipping confirmation and a fantastic shipping rate.

This week I received the beautiful Campagnollo corkscrew in the manufacturers original box, at a fantastic price, unscathed all the way to Alaska.

I feel a double victory here 1) beautiful christmas gift for my Father and, 2) beat the negative reviews.

Thank you Race View Cycles

 

Alaska, eh? Really? Anyway, out of curiosity, what language did you write your *first ever post here* in before you used Google Translate to put it into English?

Yay, good for you.

All the people who disagree are just capitalist warmongering dotard pigdogs.

If that is what is written on the box then congrats - you've just received some Chinese knock-off.

DRC = Darren Raceview Cycles? Or just a massive coincidence...?

I see that Raceview cycles are now using Trustpilot to post lots of very obviously fake reviews.

To top it all, it looks like they are getting any negative reviews removed from Trustpilot, then posting a new "fake" review in it's place.    

Spotted a negative review on trustpilot yesterday.  lasted about an hour before it was removed.  Then strangely a very over the top positive review was posted.  the reviewer said he had "I stumbled onto the website, and it felt like home"  Seriously???????

the fact that trustpilot allow reviews that are so clearly totally fake is mental. the latest 2 are actually hysterical they are so bad
5 of there positive reviews have a name that starts with J and 3 are tom/tommy . lacking imagination some what lol
and they all mention the negative reviews putting them off but they order anyway???

 

 

 

Yep, I also left a negative review on trustpilot for them.  You will see from my earlier post that I had to chase them through Darren Crawford at the Ballymena guardian.  my negative review lasted an hour on trustpilot before it was taken down and an email arrives from trustpilot compliance saying my review doesnt meet their standards.  F..ks sake,  yet all the fake positive reviews are still there. Makes me not want to trust trustpilot and sure wouldn't trust raceview cycles.  

Very considerate of DRC to use the UK date format instead of the US one.

If true, Hazzaman, that will be a shame --- not that the company may be about to fold - that's good news for consumers, except for anyone who has currently placed an order and waiting for goods or a refund  --- but that "the thread that keeps on giving" won't give any more comedy gold.

However I suspect even if RaceView does indeed fold, a new company operating from the same or nearby address and similarly named directors will suddenly rise from the ashes.  

  

Yep you're right about that CygnusX1!   It will be the poor folks waiting on orders and not getting their money back and the companies they owe money too that will suffer.  Same thing happened with shiny bikes.  

And yes suspect there will be another company that will suddenly rise from the ashes, just like before.  Shocking that folks can get away with that.

Though we will all miss the "thread that keeps on giving"

Surprised they lasted this long, to be honest.
