Poor shipping & customer service I ordered an expensive bike stand from them. They put minimal effort into packing the item, and not surprisingly, the item arrived damaged. When I asked for a replacement, they were out of stock and all they could offer in the cause of damage was a $20 gift card. The $20 is gift card is better than nothing, but shipping on their site is $9 minimum, so you aren't really getting much of anything for $20 unless you spend some more of your hard earned money at their store. The whole experience left a bad taste. I don't think I will be coming back.

False advertising Advertised a bike on line that clearly said $49 shipping. When I called to buy it thay said it had to be in store pick up only. They said they had no idea why it quoted shipping. Bike was a 2 yr old leftover. You want to sell the bike or not? It's a bike shop, sell and ship all the time. Ive worked in a bike shop, its not harfd. To me it's false advertising. Seems they are too big and customer service suffers as a result.

Slow and over-priced delivery I placed an order for a helmet on 11/6, but didn't receive it until 11/21. I think that's far too long in this day and age of fast deliveries. Also, I was charged $18.56 for shipping for a box that allegedly weighed "6 lbs", but there's no way the box weighed more than 2. Definitely feel like I got taken advantage of on shipping fees and am frustrated about the incredibly slow delivery. Doubt I'll order from Erik's again!

From lies to lack of communication and still no shipping I talked with someone on their online chat on May 5 and was told the item I was ordering was in stock, with 6 available, and orders were being processed and shipped in about 2 days. On May 10, I received an email response to an inquiry saying my order would ship the coming week. My order still has not shipped, and I am getting absolutely no responses to my emails. So they’re not being upfront about their processing time and not being responsive to emails. This is extremely frustrating. They’re taking business away from other small businesses and then not fulfilling the orders, and they’re stringing costumers along. I highly recommend you avoid ordering from Erik’s.

CRAPPY service, CLUELESS manager I called my local Erik's to get a tire that was listed as in stock at a different Erik's location and on the manufacturer's website. They said it would take a month or two to get in. No problem since I was putting that bike away for the season. It ended up taking OVER SEVEN MONTHS, six phone calls, and ten emails to get a stupid tire. The worst thing is that they offered not even a single word of apology, no acknowledgment whatsoever that they had completely failed to deliver on their promise. I spend a LOT of money on bikes and parts, but I'm never again going to spend any of that money at Erik's.
