Bikebug has really gone to the dogs.

I ordered four items. Three arrived and I haven't heard boo about the fourth item.
Checked the website and the item now says out of stock. Hmmm, I haven't received an email from them saying it is out of stock, and nor have they emailed a shipping confirmation. Let it go a few more days, emailed them. No reply. Emailed again. No reply.
So I went against my better judgement and opened an account to check the order status. Nothing.
I have now used their online ticket form to ask for the order status and to request a refund on the outstanding item.

It's been a while since I ordered from MTB Direct, but they at least emailed pretty promptly if something was out of stock.

Had a similar experience. Ordered some shoes that were in stock apparently. No email no nothing just saw a refund in my account a few days later. Obviously not in stock.
 
Wasn't it bikebug that was splashed all over the sbs tour de france coverage? That would have cost a tidy penny. Maybe a desperate, last ditch effort to revive revenues......?

I don't know if it's only been my experience with them, but they're usually really slack with correspondence, even when it was Pushys it took weeks to get an email out of them.

My last order was Pushys and to be fair everything arrived and in good time.

I’ve used them. They’re good.

Physical shops in Sydney. I have picked up from their CBD shop before.

Have also ordered from them. They were prompt and communication was good. They stuffed something up (only sent one set of brake pads but stock said they had two) with my order and refunded the difference no problem.
