GBBorn-Again Biker As someone who has recently returned to biking after a long hiatus, I appreciate how helpful Erik’s employees have been in guiding my selections of a bike and gear for all-weather biking. No high-pressure, no trying to sell me the most expensive stuff, just dead-on advice. Everything - EVERYTHING! - I have purchased has been perfect for me.

GBSNOWBOARD BOOTS Review SNOWBOARD BOOTS Review: Erik’s Bike Shop had the best price for the Ride Anthem snowboard boots I was looking for. I was skeptical at first given other reviews, but I placed my order on Thanksgiving, my boots shipped Friday the 25th, and I received exactly what I ordered on the 1st of December (four days earlier than expected). I couldn’t find another online retailer that was offering the Boots at a discount ($199/$249), so I’m super pleased with what I got. Thank you Erik’s!

GBBeware, you may be shipped an open box or used item that's advertised as new and unopened I ordered a new and unopened item to give as a gift. I expected it to be new in box and sealed. The item I received has a dirty box with broken seals. Inside of the box, items have been opened, unwrapped, and are missing original packaging. I contacted support and they stated that the item may have been in a display case prior to repackaging it and shipping it to me. I'm not sure why the cords would have been unpacked and unwrapped if this was only in a display case and never used, but it's possible. UPDATE: Upon using the item, it is clear that it was used and returned, since the item was not even reset to its factory state. In any case, stores generally sell open box, demoed, or returned items at a discount. I did not order an open box item. I ordered a new and unopened item to avoid any concerns that go along with an open box item. Additionally, it is difficult to gift an opened package with a dirty box, whether it's been returned or not. Erik's offered to accept a return for the item, but support did imply they often ship open box items as new without warning. Consumers should be aware of this policy.

GBJoke company sent the completely wrong boots Ended up ordering invado of vans snowboarding boots from them. The shipping was fine came pretty fast for standard shipping. The only issue I have with this company is I told them they sent me the caviar color and I ordered black and white. I advised them of this and they literally told me oh well that’s the only one we have. They don’t even have caviar color listed on their website. Did not offer to make things right with there mistake joke company to do not order from them dropped 200 dollars on boots that I wanted and there not the right ones.

GBSlow and over-priced delivery I placed an order for a helmet on 11/6, but didn't receive it until 11/21. I think that's far too long in this day and age of fast deliveries. Also, I was charged $18.56 for shipping for a box that allegedly weighed "6 lbs", but there's no way the box weighed more than 2. Definitely feel like I got taken advantage of on shipping fees and am frustrated about the incredibly slow delivery. Doubt I'll order from Erik's again!
