Let there be lights!
I ordered some Moon lights for a couple of bikes from PBK.au and they arrived with tracking and so forth. I'd certainly order non-bulky locally overpriced items from them again.

Not Bad considering the Economic and Medical Crisis Engulfing the World
Yeah, so my order took 6 weeks to come and only a single item got dispatched when I wanted 2 (the other one is on backorder). But my order took over 2 weeks to clear Australian customs and frankly what do you expect in a world crisis with unprecedented demand on eCommerce in general.
Probike Kit are not shonky as some other reviews have suggested. They have a great range of quality bike gear and they do deliver on their orders. The delivery time on my other order was similar to their competitors like Chain Reaction and Wiggle.

problem with an Australian website even if most orders come from the UK. In normal times this is sometimes faster than Australia Post. They answer emails promptly and apologise for the delays. What more do you expect? Please give them a go as we need competition in this area of commerce.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Shady
They cancelled an order I placed, after 1 week of me waiting for them to ship it. I emailed them asking them why they cancelled it. They didn't apologize, so I asked them to re-instate the order. They told me that if I wanted the item I'd have to reorder it. So I went on their website to re-order it and they raised the price of the item 80%. I brought this to their attention and they never responded. Go somewhere else, this is a shady company!

Do not buy from ProBikeKit!!!
Ordered my Winter jackets from ProBikeKit UK and was told delivery will be 29th April but it's now 22nd May and order is still not received . Have requested a refund but they told me it's coming so no refund, would not have bought the goods if they were upfront about delivery date, should get my jackets in Summer at this rate. Regardless of AU or UK web addresses stay clear of ProBikeKit, their customer service is terrible!!!!!

NOT Australian.....experiencing the same crap!!!
I thought the same as everybody else....Australian web address....Delivery’s 3-7 working days....there was a different click for international deliveries.....but hey, it’s Australian!!!....my order was prepped straight away in UK and is still sitting there waiting to be dispatched after a week!! They have now told me that their couriers can take up to 30 days!!! I reckon that the wait until there are enough Australian Orders to be dispatched at the same time!?
This is something that Fair Trading Australian should be across as it’s false advertising and taking business away from genuine Australian operators.....get rid of BikeProKit Australia.....they’re a Con-Job!!!
Cheers

NOT AUSTRALIAN - FAKE
Ordered a product in March, which was then held up for import tax in the UK. Thought I was getting my product from an Australian company. Have rejected the item but still have not seen my money. They are waiting for it to be returned to them from customs. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are not based here despite the web address and all details saying they are.

Wish I read reviews first. Avoid this company
This company poses as an Australian store operating out of Melbourne when tracking shows items are coming from the UK. Ordered kryptonite lock 10 days ago with estimated arrive this week. Tracking shows item has not left UK when speedy email came immediately after they took my money saying it was dispatched. Want to buy Australian and avoid COVID international issues. Avoid this company.

ProBikeKIt appear to have taken my order which they cannot effectively ship to Australia
I ordered a trainer through ProBikeKit (Australia) as I mistakenly believed that the products listed as in-stock were held and shipped within Australia. Knowing the current issues with COVID-19 disruption to supply I was intentionally trying to avoid overseas based on-line companies.
So the short of it was that ProBikeKit is a UK based company (despite the Australian URL) and the trainer I order is being shipped from Warrington, Great Britain. The order was actioned on Sunday 22 March, with the travel history indicating that the order is ready...Read more
but still at the Warrington warehouse. I am concerned that ProBikeKit has taken my order (my money) with no real means of effectively shipping to Australia. I have asked for a refund but have been told that the product will need to be shipped to Australia, then returned to the UK before this can happening. Considering the item appears is still at your warehouse this appears to be a very ineffective, costly and time consuming method of refund. Not to mention completely unacceptable from a customer prospective. At this point it's been five full working days since the order was made ready for dispatch and it hasn't moved from Warrington. Correspondence with ProBikeKit through customer service has not given me any clarity on where my order is at or if this order can be effectively shipped to Australia. Suggest to not engage with this company as they do not appear to operate with honesty or with a customer service focus.1 comment

Avoid this company, they are a scam
I ordered a techno filter set. I then got repeated emails apologizing for the delay in sending and that they didn't have any in stock. Finally, after two months, I get the happy email that they are on their way only to find, the day of delivery, that they had failed to enter my address-- not just a wrong post box but they had passed on some garbled nonsense to Australia post that is not even an address. So after contacting Australia post I find out that the product has been returned to sender.
I note that there is no contact information in any ...Read more

Do not buy from this company. Scam like business
This business makes you think they are in Aus to start with and you realise they are actually in the UK once you place an order.
My order hasnt moved for over a week now and just keep giving me nonsense replies like “you will see an update in a couple of days”, despite the fact that the reason why im contacting them is precisely the lack of updates in A WEEK.
From the reviews here I am concerned my item will never arrive and if they do, I will actually be charged a lot of money at customs (which I didnt knot of when I placed the order). But r...Read more
eally the way this guys operate makes me think my order will never be shipped and they will continue to play dumb to also not give me a refund. I have just requested one in case my order isnt uodated in the next 24h. Lets see how that goes. Do yourself a favour and avoid this scam. Do not buy from this company.Similar opinion?

*swivels in chair - 'Its a no from me'
If your reading rewiews about this website you may be wondering if you should order from them.... I wouldn't.
They advertise products they don't stock. I ordered a respro mask from their website in November 2022, after waiting weeks they hadn't even processed the order. I contacted them multiple times and they just told me it was on back order and was due in any day. Meanwhile I like the rest of Australia continued to choke on bushfire smoke. This when on for weeks until I asked them to apply a discount code to my order as I had been waiting fo...Read more

What a Joke Company!
I ordered wheels from this mob - ProbikekitAus - 8-10 days delivery. Then I receive an email that the wheels are supposedly held up in customs in the UK - I did not buy wheels from the UK - and that I would have to pay an extra $180 to have the wheels clear customs and be delivered to me in Australia. I needed these wheels to ride in Adelaide in late January and then in the Cadel Evans ride in early Feb. The extra $180 makes these wheels not price competitive and the delay means that I will not get the wheels in time for either of these 2 rides. As of now I have no wheels and am out of pocket for $1250 trying to get a refund. Do not deal with this mob. Not worth the hassle.

Still awaiting a refund. No correspondence with me at all. I have had to call the UK and still have no idea when my refund will be processed. Too much hassle and no customer service.
The saga continues with this mob. You can only contact them by calling them in the UK, which they charge you for. I know that the goods have been returned to their store because I was advised by t... Read more
heir export agent. They admit that the items have been returned to their store but "they cannot locate them". Further they gave me an email address to request a refund - [email protected]. Off course this email address does not work and has bounced back as not a legitimate address. What a nightmare!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

liars, poor service, takes forever to get the product to you
After 7 days, the tracking info showed that the item had not moved from the warehouse. I contacted PBK via chat and the guy said 'oh I can see it has left the UK and will be with you soon'. This proved to be a total lie to dismiss me as two days later, it still showed it had not moved so I messaged them on facebook and they admitted they had no idea where it was. A couple of days later, it left the warehouse. I guess they'd forgotten to send it. Anyway, never again. Poor service, lengthy shipping time and lies. I'd used PBK a lot in the past but will stick with local online sellers from now on.

worried by negative reviews, but items arrived ok
After my order, I did a review of the company (probably should have done t before the order). I was very concerned by the low reviews and thought that I had wasted my money, communication from Probikekit is very generic and automated which does not fill one with confidence. However, the items arrived, well packaged albeit 2 days late for my son's birthday (17 days from UK to Aust). would use again but not if I want the items in a hurry

Worst purchase experience ever
Purchased a set Seasucker bike rack from them in August, price is very appealing, I was under impression they are operating within Australia however I was wrong they are UK based. When item was received I discovered there are some components missing, this is where the roller coaster ride begin, when I contacted them they told me they will contact the manufacturer and have the missing part sent to me. After 1 month, I have heard nothing from them so I contacted them they told me the parts have been dispatched. I demand for a tracking number they...Read more
couldn't produce. After another couple weeks still nothing, so I decided to return the product, when they schedule with the courier, they forgot to send me the courier barcode label, also I had to fill bunch forms for custom purpose. Finally the return was on its way. I thought this would be end of it, but I was wrong. Item was received by them 2 weeks ago, but no refund was issued, I had to contact them again, the response was their warehouse is extremely busy I need to wait. How dreadful is this. Their customer service will tell you they will look into it, but they will actual do nothing. Please avoid this company at all cost!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Wish I had read this review before ordering. Buyer beware.
Hadnt ordered from this company for five years, decided to order a high end trainer from them thought that as it was 'probikekit Australia' based at St Leonards they would have included all relevant taxes and duties would be applied at checkout as do other websites such as wiggle etc, hadnt received the item after two weeks, its still sitting in a customs depot in the UK. No advice from pro bike kit, no contact from the freight company, chasing it up currently with pro bike kit and also chasing it up with fair trading here and also my credit card provider. Just crap.

Do not deliver
This company uses non-reputable delivery partners in Australia that do not deliver your goods. Took over 1 month to sort the issue out, which finally resulted in a refund. No goods arrived and they couldn’t even provide an update or status of the delivery. Avoid at all costs as they’ll simply take your money with no idea where their goods are.

Not a company I will buy from again
I placed an order for over $1000 with Probikekit. I received the order confirmation email and a lot of sales related emails but nothing regarding the dispatch or order tracking. I contacted them after the date I was supposed to have received the order only to be told that my order is with customs and that I should expect them to contact me for additional tax on the purchase (this was a surprise to me as there was NO disclosure regarding additional tax that needed to be paid when I placed the order). They would not give me the details for customs so I could contact them but said I should wait for them to contact me. The customer experience with ProBikekit has been woeful. I will definitely not be purchasing from them again.

I ended up getting a refund after 6 weeks...... Happy to get my money back but this was a very frustrating experience. Agree with other comments on this thread, avoid this company.
