Terrible
Wow. I wish I had read these reviews before ordering my bike!! I'm not the only one with such a bad experience. Blix wins third place in the worst customer service experience of my 57 years. I bought a Vika last year, which took way longer to arrive than originally stated, but let’s grant some grace at that time with the whole “supply chain” issue. My controller failed by last fall, causing an Error 30 code and the power to die. By this spring, as it turned into bike weather I took it to a local shop who assessed it and ordered the new controller. 6 weeks later the part arrived and it was the wrong one. When I called to let them know I was told the correct one was in stock and would be mailed in a week. I asked since it was their mistake if it could be priority mailed. Nope. That customer service guy was so unempathetic, to the point of being rude. I wrote an email explaining my frustration at having no bike for a month and a half and could they please send the controller asap, perhaps pay $50 for the shop’s fee for their time on the phone with them and assessing the problem. NO response. I called 5 days later, spoke to a very kind Dylan, who said he’d do what he could. Nothing. Today, followed up, kind Dylan said he’d do what he can. I called sales to see if they could do anything, again a kind woman looked into it, and assured me it will be sent today or tomorrow. This is the thing. If I were any one of the 4 people I interfaced with on this and learned someone had waited 6 weeks for a part and my company made a mistake and she was going to have to wait 2 MORE weeks, I would get the part from the warehouse and send it priority mail THAT DAY. SO frustrating. Two months of the 4 months that are good for bike riding will be over by the time I get this part. I hope it is the correct part. Aside from that I mostly like the bike. The suspension is jarring. I would steer very clear of this company.
