Anyone ordered from RaceView Cycles in Co. Antrim ?

I did a double post, there is

I did a double post, there is now a delete button. Yeah!

The Trust Pilot “reviews” are

The Trust Pilot “reviews” are unintentionally hilarious.  Some of them border on Oscar-winning (or whatever the fake online review equivalent is). This one’s a peach:

I knew what I wanted, and John was there to fine tune and guide me through it. I stumbled onto the website, and it felt like home. Wiggle and Chain Reaction seem more intent on closeouts and what they have left in inventory, the websites are messy and not intuitive and they offer no real ability to contact anyone for questions. Race View website was clean and informative. Too good to be true? Again, John would always respond to my emails and did so with confidence and knowledge. Sure, I read some bad reviews, but I also read some good ones, and I let John lead me to my own inner confidence in prepaying a $4,000 USD purchase from a complete stranger! All in all, it was a bit stressful in babysitting the shipping, but the order came complete, undamaged and as promised. Thanks John! The C50 has a brand new life, and its owner has some excitement building inside.

These two should f*ck!

I see that Raceview cycles

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???

I see this thread has come

I see this thread has come back to life again lol.  Is it any wonder these bad reviews won’t go away given the lack of service this company continues to offer.    I spotted some negative reviews on trustpilot too.  Their reputation preceeds them lol 😀

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

 

Yay, good for you.

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

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 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.
