    I ordered some bike accessories to give to my daughter for her birthday from Glerc Bikes online on 5/6/2025--I ordered a basket and a bell. I paid expedited shipping ($12.00)for these accessories which per their website should have arrived in 2-5 business days. The basket arrived on the 5th business day, but the bell has still not arrived, and today is 5/20/2025, clearly well over the 2-5 business day promise of arrival for my items. I have called the company 3 times and emailed them twice about refunding the cost of the expedited shipping, and the only answer provided is that they can't refund the charge, that they're "sharing my request with the warehouse," and that they have to wait to hear back from the warehouse. Last week, they gave me that answer and assured me that they would have an answer back the same day. Here we are 5 days later and still giving me the same answer when I called just now. They also tell me that I cannot speak to an actual person at the "warehouse" about this because the company is actually in ***** and therefore in a different time zone. I think this is all a scam and that they have no intention of refunding anything to me and I think they bank on this and probably rip off tons of people who get tired of arguing on the phone or lack of resolution over email. I haven't even received the bell yet ($13.50), so I may end up needing a refund for that too. What a horrible company.

    I ordered my bike July 16th. Fed Ex explains only a label was made and since then there hasn't been any updates. I have reached out to Glerc twice in email and ******** messenger to find out when the bike will ship out and why it hasn't? I have not had any response. I am concerned the company is no longer active? I already paid for my bike.

    I bought two bikes from their company back in October, and by March both brake accessories from both bikes broke my husband attempted to fix them but he showed me they were literally broken. By that time I emailed the company letting them know about the situation and even added pictures as they suggest and I received an automated message that they received my email and would get back to me mind you its April 12 and I have yet to hear anything back. They state theres warranty on the bikes btw. Anyhow I ran across they Instagram page so I decide to message them and I do get a response. This person addressed me as honey???? I took screenshot of the whole conversation because it seemed like they were going to help me but ended up telling me that they did get back to me before and I told them yes with an automated message not with an actual solution to my problem and they stopped responding after that I took screenshots because they wrote: -It has been a long time, but it also supports the warranty for quality problems- Long time???? 5 months??? So if it supports the warranty why isnt the company doing anything about it? My daughters have not been able to ride their bicycles for a month

    Dear BBB and Francheska,

    The attachment is the screenshot of the email we sent to each other.
    The problem has been solved already. We will ship the replacements to Francheska today.

    As you can see, we first received the customer response at March 17th, by our official email address, **********************************.
    We have contacted the technician and replied the bike problem at the first time, at March 18th.
    ************** suggest that the brake problem can be fixed by customer, and we attached a picture to make it more clear.
    And we point out that if the problem didn't be solved by this method, we will be more than willing to help customer solve the problem.
    After then, we didn't heard back from the customer, we thought that the problem has been solved.
    We must admit that it is our fault for not keep on following the progress.

    Then Our official Ins received the message at April 13th, Saturday.
    Please note that our PR replied at 8:33 am, April 15th, Monday, the minute that we were at work, and forwarded the customer response to the customer service.
    We have emailed the customer to solve the problem for him/her.
    Due to the time difference, it usually takes a day for customer response.
    We have not received the email from the customer at April 16th, so we emailed the third time, and changed the email address to *********************.
    Meanwhile our PR was contacting the customer on ins.

    The customer replied our email at April 16th.
    We replied and promised that we will ship the new brakes for customer as soon as possible.
    And the replacements have been prepared from the factory today, we will ship them by ********** immediately.

    On December 9, 2023 we ordered a bicycle from this company. The bikes are being advertised as shipping within 1 business day. On December 20, 2023, our in stock bicycle still had not shipped. We reached out, and then they told us it has shipped. Today is December 26, 2023 and Fed Ex still has still yet to recieve the item from Glerc to begin shipping. We have made multiple attempts to contact the business with no resolution or help.
