    Hi Everyone,

     

    Was looking to place an online order with RaceView Cycles but was wondering if anyone has feedback, before I go ahead.

     

    thanks,

    Bill

    So, two legally different companies at the same address.  Nothing to see here, I’m sure they’re both perfectly above board.

    I wasn’t implying that they weren’t both legal.   There is no record on companies house website of raceview cycles.  Raceview cycles trades under raceview equestrian as they can’t trade on their own after going bust.

    I was giving folks some info so that those who are having trouble getting in touch with race view cycles to find out where their lost orders have gone can actually find someone to talk to about it!  Instead of getting frustrated with not getting calls or emails answered.

    Also shiny bikes are no longer, they went bust.  it’s race view cycles now so looking up their domain is of no relevance.   Anyone can buy a website after all can’t they?

    Anyway I was just trying to help you guys out that have had a bad experience like me

    For all you guys who have

    For all you guys who have have been pissed about by race view cycles firstly you have my sympathy.  Secondly, reading all the comments on this thread prompted me to do a bit of digging .  I also had a bad experience and have been pissed about with no order,  noone answereing phones, returning my emails etc.   But I won’t bore you with that. i found a way to contact them, seeing as they don’t answer their phones anymore.    So here’s what I did.

    Race view cycles (formally shiny bikes) is part of race view equestrian.  There is no record of race view cycles company information on companies house or anywhere else that I can find. (If anyone else can find it, feel free to correct me on this)  And on their website it says raceview equestrian trading as race view cycles.

    So raceview equestrian would be the people to call if raceview cycles aren’t answering you..right?

    so raceview equestrian was run by this guy Fraser Wilson’s wife, Dawn Wilson.  This is all pretty common knowledge right?  

    Now it seems Raceview equestrian are hiding from their phone calls and emails too…wonder why that would be?  All sounds pretty dodgy to me?

    However when I looked up the company information, suddenly she has resigned as director???  Now we have a new guy as director..his name is a Mr Darren Crawford, who incidently, was a director previously, then resigned, now since March 2017 is suddenly a director again??? Strange eh?  

      I read through the bits of info on this guy darren and it turns out he is a photographer, for the Ballymena Guardian!  So, if you can’t get them to answer your calls or emails, give the Ballymena Guardian a call on 028 2564 1221 and ask for Mr Crawford, I’m sure he would be delighted to help!

    Here’s the link with the information in it. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/NI631676/filing-history

    Good luck guys and gals

    Fuck I thought I was the only

    Fuck I thought I was the only one who got an empty box!  FYI, you can shout and scream, you WILL NOT get your money back.  Bastards robbed me of over £600!

    This is simple fraud and I’d call the cops, well Action fraud actually but it’d the same deal

    http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

    Keep everything, all messages and the box and find out ASAP who the courier was (the name of the actual person) as they could be your best witness. 2 kg in a box should be fairly obvious unless they put a brick in there to compensate for the weight, but I doubt they are that smart.

    Fingers crossed the package was weighed and they can’t argue.

    Hope you get your cash back.

    Man, you guys had some weird

    Man, you guys had some weird experiences with this seller. Peeked back into this thread today since I had just ridden the fork I ordered for the first time and was really impressed with it. I definitely won’t be ordering anything else from them. Empty boxes – that’s rich. Hope you all get your money refunded. Good luck.

    Man, that is terrible.  I can’t believe they are actually sending out empty boxes so that they can provide proof of delivery to your bank.  Utter c*nts.

    The carrier *should* have weighed the parcel when they took it from Race View, so hopefully they will tell you that it was a box of fresh air and you can take that to the bank.

    I suppose the clues are there when you look at the map on their Contact Us page…

    Wondering what to do here.

    Wondering what to do here. Bit of a long story but I’ll cut it as short as possible. I ordered an eTap gruppo from RaceViewCycles at the end of December 2016. At the time they seemed to be the only place that had it in stock and with a discount. I emailed them in the first week of January asking for an approximate dispatch date and received no reply. 

    Initially I thought they were simply closed, then busy catching up after the holiday period.  On the 12th January I started to worry and tried calling several times, with the line seeming to be dead. I emailed in again, only this time I immediately received the following reply:

    12/01/2017

    Friend,

    The Convention is quickly approaching, and you will have yours. 

    Thanks to people like you,

    Dave

     

    At first I wasn’t sure if it was meant for me, so I shot back asking ‘Dave’ at RaceView if he had any information about my eTap order. Again no reply. On the 18th I asked my bank, HSBC, to chargeback the debit card transaction. They said I had to exhaust all options with RaceView first then get back to them. 

    On the 19th, I spammed called them, literally spam called, first thing in the morning, and again at lunchtime. I have nearly 40 calls to them on that day. Sometimes the line seemed dead. Other times it was as if it had been picked up but… just deadly silent. Occassional ‘ticking’ in the background. Started creeping me out. 

    I emailed again that evening, with a pretty irate email saying that I was charging back my order with the bank if I didn’t hear back from him by lunchtime the following day.

    When I woke up that morning there was another email, sent at 3.31am

     

    20/01/2017

    Friend,

    It is done in your name.

    Track it and be well.

    Jamie

     

    This time I thought they’re saying that the order has been dispatched, and that it has tracking. So I went to their website to see it was available in some sort of online account, as I wasn’t hoping to get another reply by email. Of course, that wasn’t fruitful. Had a bit of a family crisis that day and that had my attention for weeks. Out of the blue however last Saturday (18th Feb) a box from RaceView arrived at my door, by Parcelforce. 

    eTap had arrived. Who can be angry on a day like that. Box felt light. Excellent, this gruppo must be incredible. Looking forward to getting this on the frameset.

    Then it sank in. The box was actually, ridiculously light.

    I’m in a real spot now. The bank says that RaceView have given them tracking and that I need to file a complaint with the carrier. Until that has exhausted, they can’t chargeback the transaction. Really at my wit’s end with this freakshow.

    Hello

    I have read the reviews here about this company Race View Cycles.

    I can confirm they are not sending out their goods.   They must be in serious trouble.

    I thought, like some of the other posters I would post a picture of the order I received.   

    Here it is……

    Nothing!  No order, nothing…

     

    Hang on?!? – they actually sent you an empty box???

    They’re now selling boxes of “lucky Irish air”

    Marginal gains and all that.

    Panicky? Fuck off mate. What’s “panicky” about not liking to pay for goods that don’t turn up? Or spending months chasing refunds or replacements for items sent back due to faults? Or being threatened with legal action merely for posting the truth?

    Looking forward to next month’s thread where we unmask “Biciloco Cycles” as the new name for Race View.

     

    Biciloco Cycles!  Love it mate!  

    It would be funnier if it weren’t so serious though.  How are these “shills” still in business?
