Disappointed Consumer
GBBeware, you may be shipped an open box or used item that's advertised as new and unopened I ordered a new and unopened item to give as a gift. I expected it to be new in box and sealed. The item I received has a dirty box with broken seals. Inside of the box, items have been opened, unwrapped, and are missing original packaging. I contacted support and they stated that the item may have been in a display case prior to repackaging it and shipping it to me. I'm not sure why the cords would have been unpacked and unwrapped if this was only in a display case and never used, but it's possible. UPDATE: Upon using the item, it is clear that it was used and returned, since the item was not even reset to its factory state. In any case, stores generally sell open box, demoed, or returned items at a discount. I did not order an open box item. I ordered a new and unopened item to avoid any concerns that go along with an open box item. Additionally, it is difficult to gift an opened package with a dirty box, whether it's been returned or not. Erik's offered to accept a return for the item, but support did imply they often ship open box items as new without warning. Consumers should be aware of this policy.

GBSNOWBOARD BOOTS Review SNOWBOARD BOOTS Review: Erik’s Bike Shop had the best price for the Ride Anthem snowboard boots I was looking for. I was skeptical at first given other reviews, but I placed my order on Thanksgiving, my boots shipped Friday the 25th, and I received exactly what I ordered on the 1st of December (four days earlier than expected). I couldn’t find another online retailer that was offering the Boots at a discount ($199/$249), so I’m super pleased with what I got. Thank you Erik’s!

GBEric’s Coon Rapids-Terrible service and knowledge My wife and I were planning to buy Electic assisted bikes today. We went to many different retailers and evaluated options. I was so disappointed with Eric’s in Coon Rapids, all the advertising in the world can not out-weight being treated like crap by a salesperson who did not know their Products. Saturday 8/8, 2:00, young man who was abrasive and rude. Let it be known we did purchase 2 bikes for $6K at Ramsey Cycle, where they were friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with! Steer clear of Eric’s, seems like they spend their money on advertising not quality, knowledgeable employees and customer service.

GBUgh! they claim to carry the most bikes in the usa (nothing that i would want). it would be nice for a “local” bike shop help to carry at least a 80mm presta valve for a 25mm tire and better yet a salesman other than a kid who actually knows whether or not what he gave me doesn’t fit until i showed him their teenage mechanics are -fly -by -nights and when i finally found one after who knows something he quits in 5 months he figured it it out erik’s is a shop who just happens to sell bicycles like walmart and that’s being kind

GBErik's provides awesome customer … Erik's provides awesome customer service! We always enjoy going to Erik's with our questions and to just browse! They definitely have good deals and we were thrilled to order a new board, boots, jacket, and snow pants for our son this Christmas through Erik's webiste. We know we can easily return items if they do not fit or work. Thankfully, everything we orded was perfect!
