    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Had a chat with him last night regarding the bike, and have come to an agreement/deal that keeps both of us happy and as I told him, as long as I’m looked after and not mugged off I’ll always use his shop for my bike and family bikes, so hopefully he stands good for his end of the deal. Slight...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Yeah as I said to the shop when he told me about it,” no rush just get yourself sorted out before worrying about my bike” as neither the shops fault or mine, just have to get on with it, Second shop in the last 2 weeks within 40odd miles (both being very rural shops) I’m in no hurry for a...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    This information I got today, no mention of miles or condition, as mine had 350miles and was immaculate so, if the replacement is not in as good condition and same or less miles why should I accept it? Or are you grabbing at the wrong end of the stick? Not made my mind up what so ever

    E160 9000 2020 ex demo for Merida sales man on its way to me apparently, depending on miles and condition it will be staying where it is,

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Yeah that’s basically what’s going on, I’ve said I’ll pay a couple hundred to get what I had but that’s only if it comes exactly the way I had my one, so I think I’m being fair, I’m not phoning all the time and said not to rush as it’s neither his fault or mine but he is the claim maker and I’m...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    I’ve spoke to citizens advice and all them and they say try and sort something decent with the shop although he is well within his rights to claim what I paid although being a customer and second e bike bought from himself, I would like to think a deal where both myself and him are not out of...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Yeah full warranty from the day I bought it, have told him I want the same spec or same bike, is offering the 8000 model and some cash, but that’s the current demo, if I wanted that spec I would have bought one new for the same as I paid for my 9000, it’s doing my head in haha

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Yeah my point exactly, it’s a shitter no matter what way it goes, if the same were to happen again after if I accept the lower model then I would be given the value of the ex demo lower model, and if for say it happened multiple times I’d be left with a £5 voucher ?

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Spoke to citizens advice and basically he can value it at what was paid as it’s classed as second hand even if I had bought it brand new it’s classed as second hand and as long as it’s fair market value ?

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    How can the insurance determine the condition of the bike and parts when it’s not there? Like phone insurance if you loose your iPhone 12 and the insurance give you a like for like replacement and not a Nokia 3310

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Got most receipts but as for the bike I paid less than rrp as was an ex demo, but if I had won it on raffle or competition for likes of a £2 ticket would I be given the like for like bike or £2, as my argument with the shop, if I had bought it else where and was getting warranty done from them...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    Yeah mate, wanted second opinions, the shop said that rest assured they would replace my bike or reimburse me, the way it stands is I want my bike replaced as the reason I bought the ex demo as it was the spec I wanted, and now the 2021 models are out and Covid buying every bike possible, I...
