I’m back I have something to say
I’m back I have something to say, I’m trying to figure out what I want to say as I go. In my review I made fun of or condemned Polygon, Maybe I should,Maybe I shouldn’t. Maybe I will do what Bikes On Line says they do and skip the middle man (Bikes On Line). Yes I watched BOL’s little video about why you should buy from them. Well I have been thinking since my last review. I am fixing to drop about $1000.00 on a set of quality rims and I spent around $60.00 for the handle bar stem. Not to mention I have already spent $2048.00 to buy the bike and ship it to my door. So apparently being a consumer direct company doesn’t save me any money. Also the customer support, I guess they are referring to the generic email that there computer sends when I email them repeatedly about why I haven’t heard from them. And now BOLs warranty process. Well let’s look at it like this,I also have another MTB from a local bike shop here in central Florida. If anything happens they are on it like a fat kid on a cupcake. I am always satisfied even though I have to pay for the repairs because yes I broke it. But they have also given me some free adjustments on my brakes and shifters. And if there is ever a warranty issue they would have it resolved within a week. I bought this bike on May 5 and have got to ride it once. I ride my Giant all the time. So the way I see it, from BOLs perspective is a penny saved is a penny earned. Meaning don’t pay for shipping to warranty a part, and that also lead’s to no warranty period. Now after I fat mouthed polygon in my last complaint. I now see it like this. Companies shop around and they buy in bulk just like my rims. And if there are some bad ones in the bunch then they depend on customer feedback I.E. for warranty. So BOL isn’t going to warranty anything so Polygon is still selling Bikes with bad rims. That’s not Polygons fault, Polygon I’m sure has a contract with BOL that states BOL will franchise Polygon bikes in polygons best interest. Conducting bad business with consumers all over the world is not good business for Polygon. But if Polygon goes under no big deal BOL picks up another company and continues business as usual. So I’m going to try to contact polygon and drop this bug in there ear. I hope this helps someone out there.
