Feedback from our Customers

I’ve been shopping with you guys for several years. You have not only an incredible selection and great web site but also a fantastic customer service group. I have never had a bad experience with your company. People on the phone are always amazingly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I’m a consultant that works with online retail as well as an avid cyclist.

My order history runs back nearly six years and into four figures, and there's a reason for that - if I need ANYTHING, I'm going to look here first, because I have always gotten top notch service. On a couple of occasions, part of my order dispatched from Minnesota and got here (Iowa) the next day on standard shipping - a strong organization is obvious. Your staff have always been helpful and informed, even if I wasn't too sure what I needed. Honestly, there is no place I would rather shop.

You guys just straight up rock. Your website is the most COMPLETE reference for bike parts with VERY competitive pricing and on top of that you got me everything I needed to finish building my cross bike in 3 days time! Thank you UC!

I just wanted to thank you for the FANTASTIC service! My order arrived in time for me to give my son the bag he wanted for his bike. It arrived on New Years Eve and we celebrated our Christmas on New Years Day. Thank you, thank you!! I will definitely be recommending you to others. Happy New Year.

I’ve been ordering from your company since 2006, and I must say that of all of the online bicycling retailers I’ve worked with, Universal is by far the best. I had three orders that I made this past weekend, and two of them already arrived, which is surprising because I’m in Hawaii and we’re not used to getting stuff from the mainland delivered so soon. Thanks again,

I just wanted to give some mad props to two of your customer service folks who did an insane job helping me during the wee hours last night. Both BradC and then ValL were tireless, knowledgeable, and fun & helpful in answering my many questions. Amazing customer service way beyond expectations. Keep it up!

Your customer service and the customer service of Universal Cycles is really incredible. I cannot say I have experienced as much promptness and personal service when ordering anywhere else online. I recommend Universal Cycles to others and will definitely continue to order from your store. Thanks,

Thanks Universal Cycles, I've ordered several things this year and have been very impressed with your promptness to take care of orders and get them out the door. I think most things have shown up even quicker than I expected. Nice job on the helpline as well. We ordered some STI shifters that my husband was having trouble installing. A quick call to your 800 line, quite late in the evening got us back on track with the install. It was sometime after 9/9:30 in the evening. Well past the time most places are closed. You guys are doing an outstanding job!

You people are amazing. Ordered Monday, received it on Wednesday. You have become my go to on-line bike shop. I really appreciate your post order E-mails (Jason) assuring that my order has been received, asking if I have any concerns, and telling me the shipping status. Customer service is where it has to be in this competitive e-bike parts world, and I believe you understand this well. Best regards,

I stop into your Portland shop whenever I visit my brother in Hood River and always spend too much money. Your inventory kicks ass. The breadth of products you carry is mind boggling and I can pretty much always find what I need and things I don't. Keep it up!

...I know that you have the late shift -- I am glad the Universal Cycles has set up this schedule -- I know that the late night can be a hassle, but as a customer, I am really glad that y'all are available when I get home from work...Have a great evening and I will look for y'all in ride support this weekend. Thanks.

Thank you for the excellent service and initial help over the phone when I placed my order. I am very happy with my purchase of my saddle pouch. I will definitely consider you when I shop in the future and recommend you to others.

I live in the Portland, OR area and this is far and away my favorite bike shop out here. They have a great in-store selection at good prices and the service is professional, efficient, and of very high quality. To share my most recent experience - I recently got a flat on my way to work and stopped by another store on my way home. I wanted a few other things done so asked about them. The guy told me he'd have to do a full "pro tuneup" that would cost an arm and a leg and that he couldn't get it done for at least two weeks. No way. I called up UC and they are happy to provide the specific services I want, within a window of a few days, and at a reasonable price. I live a bit further out but it's worth the extra mile to get to UC.

I would just like to take a moment to commend your business on the great job you do. I recently ordered a bottom bracket for my mountain bike on a wed. and had it by friday afternoon the same week! I now rely on you guys for parts for my bikes because the "chain" stores here in the area don't carry any parts other than general replacement parts (chains, cables, pedals, etc.). Everything is a special order for the part often at a price higher than what you guys charge and definitely a longer wait. In this particular case I was told it would take about two weeks to get the race face bottom bracket and it was going to be $44 for the same exact part I got from you for $32. I am recommending universal cycles to every cyclist I know. Keep up the great work and keep stocking those parts.

You guys have such a good site. Your site is the first place I go if I need anything and it's usually the only place I have to go. My only regret is that you are located on west coast because I would love to come into the shop. Guess I'll have to plan a trip out there someday. Thanks for the great customer service throughout the years. I'm building a touring bike right now, and I have a few items in my wish list that I'll be purchasing in the next 6-8 months.

I've been working with Universal Cycles Ogden shop for a little over a year now. I went in after seeing some prices on their website, and was pleasantly suprised when I walked in to such a selection of products. Now I feel like I'm in there too much! With my constant rotisserie of new and continuing projects, any time I need a part (more often a whole box of parts), I'll run over to Universal on my lunch. Other LBS's that I've visited in the area, left me feeling a bit excluded. I wasn't 'one of the guys', so the service was lacking. At Universal, Jordan always asks how I'm doing, and is always helpful.

Universal's prices are generally the best in the area, and even if they weren't, I wouldn't care. I'd still be giving you guys my business because of the service and product selection you offer. The online aspect of the shop is also excellent. It's super easy to order all your stuff, and then go in when it's ready and just pick it all up. Anyway, I'm proud to call Universal Cycles my LBS, and I recommend the Ogden shop to eveyone I ride with.

I recently placed my first order with you folks. I was very happy with the way you handled the order and I was pleased with the merchandise. In the future I'll be coming back to you folks instead of the competition at [removed]. I also received my first email newsletter. Another kudo to you…I'm a cat person too. Thanks for the great help.

To Val and all of the crew at Universal,

I'm always happy to do business with Universal Cycles. You guys provide excellent customer service both in store and online and an outstanding selection of products, as well as great deals, especially with the Spoke'N'Word newsletter. I hope to live close enough to the Portland store one day that I can call Universal my LBS. I really appreciate everything you all have helped me with over the years! Cheers,

I have been a satisfied customer since 2006. I reviewed my order history today and was astonished to find that I have ordered from you on more than 50 occasions. There is a reason that you are my "go-to" source for bike parts,despite the fact that we are on opposite coasts. Your pricing is competitive, and your customer service is absolutely the best.

Many great things about Universal. Fair prices, great shipping (you know when you will get things and usually it is quick) the VIP discount codes, the in stock notices for watch items, the custom wheel builder tool, the website layout in general is easy to navigate. Great job guys, keep it up. Thanks,

I am blown away by the simple yet extremely effective customer service practices that Brad has displayed for this minor transaction. He watched for the order to come in after our brief message conversation and remembered my location. Then, making the effort to send [...] a very personal thank you for the order. Very well done Brad thanks for making my night.

I ordered the wrong bottom bracket. I got on live chat and the customer service rep fixed my order, gave me the credit and processed the revised order very, very, quickly. Awesome service! I will be back.

To the Universal Cycles team: I just wanted to thank you for getting my orders, returns and exchanges and any inquiries I had handled in a timely and professional manner. It is rare to receive such outstanding service from businesses nowadays and I believe that this sets your company apart from other retailers. Kindly keep-up the great service you provide your customers and I wish that more companies will follow suit in your footstep in providing excellent customer service. Thank you again for all that you do. I wish you all a wonderful week and upcoming weekend ahead. Best regards,

Went into the local Portland store clueless and ready to spend some money on stuff I really didn't need. Not only did I get massive amounts of information, but was helped to decide not to buy anything that day. (Which ended up being a very good thing!) After a lot of research, I now have a much better idea of what I need, and though UC lost a cheap sale that day, they've gained a lifelong customer and all of my future bike and accessories purchases. Thanks for the honesty and amazing help!
