Ordering from BikeInn

Anyone every order from BikeInn.com?
Not the best reviews to be found. A quick glance shows complaints about slow delivery.

Yes, no issues on a handful of orders. Normal order status provided and ships via DHL tracked shipment. I believe they originate from Girona, Spain.

Yes, delivery is sloooow. You need to sign for the package. I wasn't home and didn't get notification that they tried to deliver it. Retrieved it eventually, more than a month after I ordered.

I just checked my last order that had tracking still available and it was 12 days from order to receipt. On your order status they also sometimes include an actual picture of your package/label.

They're fine, but as I remember slow shipping. Expensive through DHL.

I've ordered from them a couple times with good experience. I can't remember the shipping times because typically when I order overseas, I'm not expecting fast shipping.

One of the orders had an issue that their customer service resolved quickly so there's that.

My one "order" from them was for an in-stock item which was later discovered to be out of stock. I didn't get notified until about a week after I ordered. I requested a refund, which was promptly provided.

I ordered from them about a year ago...yes they are slow! I think they took a week before they shipped my order...leads me to think they gather up orders, takes my money and go buy a bunch of stuff once a week and ships off the orders.

I should've searched for this thread before ordering, I guess. Consensus is pretty unanimous.

I placed an order 4/27 that shipped 4/28. 5/14 and I still don't have it. Seems it went through customs in Chicago then made it's way to LA (oops, wrong way). They did send me a photo of the actual package, but the label doesn't show a USPS tracking number, though it seems that's the current carrier. Hasn't updated in a couple days. Seems the problem would be with USPS, but I wonder if it has to do anything with the foreign/atypical labeling.

currently waiting for GRX shifters. seemingly taking forever. but based on other evidence in this thread i need to exercise my patience. unfortunately i am missing that gene. they did show a photo of my package but the boat they sent it on is missing a sail so could be a while.

and you can see what usps is doing with it.

Ah. Just did that, Eddie. Shows the same as the BikeInn tracking updates which implies it's accurately tied.

RobJ · #13 05-14-2020, 10:03 AM

Yea as I posted before, I haven't had an issue with them, other than speed.

It might be USPS too. I have a package coming from NY to VA and it got routed and attempted delivery somewhere in Indiana. Supposedly it is being redirected back to me. Mine might be a double-label problem I am thinking...

I ordered something and took over a month to come, normally the last few times I got something from bikeinn took a week. The whole shipping logistics is effed obviously.

My order came from the netherlands and destination was upstate NY. Tracking stoped for a month and then all of a sudden it was in Portland, OR lol. Got here quick after that.

10-4. Thanks, Paulo. It is what it is. Stoked to try the Shimano Pro Stealth 152 (MTB version, I don't care for graphics/logos on bike parts) after reading Dave Kirk's review is all. Also bought the mount adapter so I can mount my new Varia to it. A boy wants to try his new toys.
