Frustration after Frustration
I purchased a Schwinn IC4 fitness bike from Dick's Sporting Goods in Wesley Chapel, Florida. Upon getting it home we found the box had a huge hole that was hidden from us during loading. It that may or may not have damaged the bike. The reason I say this is because after assembly, the bike was making loud scraping noises in the areas assembled by the factory (flywheel and drive train). The paperwork in the box says to not return to Dick's but rather, call Nautilus for service. What a mistake!! After nearly nearly a month, I finally got a repair person out to work on the bike. Following the repair noises were still occurring. I reported my frustration, and after much discussion and an agent requiring me to send pictures of the problem area, they finally sent a new version of everything but the attachments (pedals, seat, handlebars). After the new bike was assembled, once again noises started happening in the drive train once again!!! I reported the problem on Dick's FB site, someone reached out, asked for my original proof of purchase, and then never responded again. I called Nautilus, demanding a refund and they said they couldn't give me a refund because I did not buy it directly from them, and of course, it was outside of Dick's return timeframe!!! As it stands now, they are going to keep sending me new bikes until they send me one that actually works?!!! This is beyond ridiculous. Dick's has failed me, Nautilus has failed me, and I am beyond done with both of these companies. Beware of Dick's and know if there is a problem, they are not interested in backing up the products they sell.
