I ordered a kickstand for a Marin bike, but it didn't fit. I tried contacting support, but no one is answering.

Hey, sorry to hear the kickstand didn't fit and that you've had trouble getting through -that's frustrating and not the experience we want. Drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll get it sorted for you

Hi Theo, we're really sorry to hear this - a ripped open, empty parcel is the last thing anyone wants after waiting for their order. This is clearly unacceptable and we want to make it right straight away. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] and we'll get a replacement sorted for you as a priority. Thanks for letting us know - we take this seriously.

Took almost a month to receive delivery, and wrong size was delivered.

We're really sorry about this.
A month is way too long, and getting the wrong size on top of that is doubly frustrating. We were closed over the holidays, but that doesn't excuse the delay or the mix-up.
Please reach out to our support team at [email protected] and we'll get you the right size sent out ASAP—on us. We'll make this right.

We hear you on the price point. Our grommets are precision-molded to exact specs for proper cable routing and frame protection—they're not generic hardware store parts. That said, we're always reviewing our pricing to make sure we're offering fair value.
If you've got specific concerns about fit or quality, reach out to our support team and we'll make it right.

Rahmen hat Riss, keine Reaktion von Marin!
Ich hatte nach gut einem Jahr einen Riss im Carbonrahmen meines Marin Headlands. Außerdem drehte sich ein Insert einer Schraube im Rahmen, so dass man diese nicht mehr herausdrehen konnte. Von Marin bekam ich nie eine Rückmeldung auf meine Anfrage bezüglich Garantie. Zum Glück wurde es durch den Händler ersetzt.
Der Rahmen weist aber auch sonst weitere Konstruktive Mängel auf, die man in dieser Preisklasse nicht erwartet.
Die Kabelführung ist eine einzige Katastrophe. Um das Innenlagergehäuse verlaufen sie Außen herum. Es gibt hier zwei Zugführungen am Rahmen, die ins Carbon genietet sind. Da stehen einem die Haare zu berge!
Der Kabelaustritt vorne aus dem Unterrohr ist auch billigst gemacht. Die Kabel werden fast senkrecht nach Außen geführt, was absolut unschön aussieht. Das Kunststoffteil, durch das sie herausgeführt werden, ist nur in den Rahmen hineingedrückt und hält sich mit Kunststoffnasen, die abbrechen, wenn man das Teil ausbauen will.
Auch die Lackierung oben auf dem Unterrohr war fehlerhaft und hatte Bläschen.
Im Carbon waren zudem deutliche Dellen erkennbar.
Jeder billigrahmen von Temu dürfte da besser gemacht sein.
Alles in allem bin ich froh, den Rahmen los zu sein.
Ergänzung: Seitens Marin habe ich hier die Anfrage erhalten, dass ich ihnen den Vorgang per Mail schildern solle. Dies ist geschehen, bis heute ohne jegliche Reaktion seitens Marin, wie schon die ganze Zeit... Der Verdacht liegt nahe, dass man hier bei den Bewertungen bemüht tun will, letztendlich aber kein wirkliches Interesse hat solche Fälle zu klären.

Garbage website
All I wanted was to go to the website and get the specific part I needed for this Marin Rift Zone 1. The website is trash. I actually had to scoure the internet and purchase the part from a 3rd party company because the search engine for the manufacturer was garbage. Buy a Trek or Specialized instead!

Terrible experience
Terrible experience, took far too long to deliver, pedals are cheap. Seat is too high . Had to call out of work thwice for missed deliveries. Package required a signature. Literally had to chase down the FEDEX Driver to get my package while at work. This was honestly the worst most stressful thing I’ve ever ordered.

Here is what it is
Here is what it is; either they think the customer who returns their product deserves a phuq-U, so they don't do anything to facilitate the process, or they just think they're above retail detail.
Postal tracking showed our return delivered.
Nothing.
They're happy to come on here & pretend they care or want to help when they get a bad review - in reality, they don't answer emails if they know what you want. It's just not work they want to do.
They don't care about us, so it's safe to assume they won't care about you.

Apologies once again for the frustrations. We deeply care about all of our customers, unfortunately we are a small team and sometimes things take a little longer to process than we would like. We will aim to get better. Your refund was processed last week.
