Before delivery I was given options on delivery day and time, and they made sure that the bike was the correct size for me. Delivery was on time and handover was done very professionally by Richard. He spent time going over the bike's main features, explaining everything clearly. He answered any questions I had as well. The bike was presented in a pristine condition. All in all a great experience from Richard and Criterium. Very happy with my purchase and customer service.

Paul and Rosie were incredible. I ordered the bike (Trek e-bike) and within 3 days Paul was outside my house talking me through it. Absolutely exemplary customer service and you can see the passion they have for what they do and their customers. If I could give 10 starts I would. I will always go to criterium for anything bike related in the future

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
