  1. Has Anybody Bought A Bike From Ecrater.co.uk Before?

    Appreciate you taking the time to respond to this forum

    Ive read all the links and am pretty happy with whats there, my concern, which is shared by a few, is that there are many horror stories out there about people being scammed buying through sites just like yours.

    Dont get me wrong there are positives as well, but the negatives do seem to outweigh the positives.

    Im not pointing the finger at your site, but all the security and buyer protection in the world still wont prevent scams happening.

    One of the buyers i had considerd buying from seems very genuine, ive had positive and timely response from the buyer in relation to questions ive emailed. Cant ask much more really, but, theres still the niggling worry that in the back of my mind im going to get scammed, and if ive learnt anything in life, especially in my former job, its trust your gut instinct.

    Echo had a statement issued on a certain site warning against buying echo products from china via your site and other similar sites.

    I am physical proof !

    Tell me more though, I've read your earlier post, but that pretty much covers what I had learnt from reading the sight :)

    Would you recommend it?

    was there a lot of import tax charges?

    which seller did you use?

    Bike as pictured, any damage etc?

    Overall cost if you dont mind sharing that info?

    How long did it take to receive the bike?

    just been offered a 2012 echo 24 for $760 from aliexpess surely that cant be right?

    crazy isnt it, ive seen one for $800, from a seller with loads of really positive feedback. seen his website which top end road bikes as well.

    Emailed the guy, he replied within half an hour, really helpful, bike could be here within 15-20 days and would only have cost me £491......

    Seems like its a gamble with who you get.

    http://www.trustpilo....aliexpress.com

    An example of this is another seller who sells echo 24's says he has 91.sumit% positive feedback, but when you look into it, he has about 80% of that feedback as " default response" i.e the customer didnt leave a response and the seller has just added a 4 star default response for them to make his feedback look good.....not good

    On the other hand the guy who sells the echo i posted the link for has 98% feedback of genuine feedback:

    guess some are better then others, jsut choose wisely

    Use aliexpress and avoid the other ones. There are loads of decent sellers, all transactions are safe as they go thought the site. The money is with held until you give the ok that you have recived what you ordered and are happy with condition etc

    Ive gotta be honest after reading Echos bit on Tarty about avoiding Allibaba and the like its leading me to think its just the big guns not wanting to loose business to the little fish.

    If the service was as good as you say im more tempted now.

    Ive been browsing the site and found this feedback section in relation to a seller called Topgears, out of china, 98% positive feedback.....

    http://www.ecrater.co.uk/view-feedback.php?storeid=125221

    seems fairly legit.

    As far as i can see the site is basically a site for people to sell there products from ( think ebay, amazon etc )

    If somebody has bought from here and had a positive experience then lets hear it please :)

    Quick one guys, has anybody ever bought a bike from this site?? As far as I can see all the sellers seem to reside in China which leads me to ask if the bikes are genuine or copies/fakes?

    Reason I ask is that the bikes seem too cheap to be true, and in my experience that's to be avoided.

    I'm in the market for a new bike, preferably a 24", and there seem to be some great bikes on this site.

    Any response would be great, cheers :)
