People working are swapfiets I think…

People working are swapfiets I think are nice people, but just not doing their jobs properly. I’ve been with swapfiets for 3+ years already.

Yesterday I went to replace my bike, they did got me a new one but doesn’t check anything before handling it over to me. The front light wasn’t working when I tried it outside. I again went back to have then fix the light, they just replaced it with a new bike. I tried it everything was working well, and then I left. Only to find out I forgot to test one important thing as well, the bike ring/bell 🔔. Also wasn’t working.

I just hope they would check everything else before handling a bike to the customers.

Hi Ann,

Thank you for your review and for sticking with us for over 3 years!

We are sorry to hear that your recent experience didn't measure up to the service you are used to. You are absolutely right, our team should be checking every bike thoroughly (lights and bells included!) before handing it over, rather than leaving it up to you to find the defects.

We will take this feedback to the team to ensure our pre-handover checks are sharpened up. Please stop by so we can fix that bell for you quickly.

Kind regards,
Team Swapfiets

good money for value

Even though it can take a while for each appointment, it works really well, you can use Swapfiets to get used with dutch bikes, or for safety since they offer you all the support for daily basis and are stolen less often then normal ones are reported.
I've been using for a year and decided to get an upgrade, and as always the service was great.

Charged an extra 11 euros

Charged an extra 11 euros, not sure for what, although the package clearly states 62 euros per month, which I paid in advance.

Hi Naqib,

We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your invoice.

This extra charge is likely due to your subscription starting partway through the month, rather than on the first day. In these cases, we charge a pro-rata amount for the remaining days of that specific month.

Please contact us directly so we can look into your specific invoice details and clarify exactly what the charge is for.

Kind regards,
Team Swapfiets

A customer for 5 years and then this..

After being a customer in Amsterdam for nearly 5 years and paying for multiple replacement/stolen bikes without issue, it is really disappointing to not have any flexibility on a charge that has been caused by something completely out of my control.

I went back to my home country for a month over Christmas and when i returned to Amsterdam I noticed that my bike, which I had left in the designated bike zone outside my apartment building, was gone.

A couple of weeks later I was preparing to leave NL for good and made an appointment to return my key. The worker there told me the bike had been collected by the gementee and that I would have to pay e40 to have it collected. This seemed a bit unfair given the full context in which i wasnt getting a new bike, I had left my bike in the correct place, and I had been paying the company a consistent fee since 2021. None of this was the workers responsibility of course, so I had made plans to contact customer support when I got the chance.

When i did get the chance, i was disappointed to be informed that there was no flexibility on the matter and I would have to pay the charge.

I want to be clear that I by no means feel entitled to have this charge forgiven - i dont know what happened that made the gementee collect my bike but it is not Swapfiets fault, and they are just enforcing their policy.

I am however disappointed by their approach to supporting a long time customer who had a bit of misfortune. The charge is a fraction of the money I had paid over the years, it would have been a nice gesture to have it forgiven. Instead it feels like I have been shoved on the way out the door and the door slammed behind me.

With that being said, I really enjoyed the service i got from Swapfiets over the years, hence the reluctance to give just 1 star. I do however have to deal with a sour taste from this experience.

Hi there,

First of all, thank you for being such a loyal customer for nearly 5 years. We truly appreciate your support since 2021.

We completely understand your disappointment regarding the municipality removal fee, especially given the circumstances of your trip. It is never nice to end a long relationship on a sour note like this, and we understand why you feel this way.

However, as much as we value your loyalty, we cannot make an exception regarding these costs. We have to adhere to our terms regarding municipality removals. We are sorry that this makes you feel unheard, as that is certainly not our intention.

We hope that, despite this final hurdle, you can still look back on your time with us fondly. We would love to welcome you back in the future if you are ever in need of a bike again.

Kind regards,
Team Swapfiets

Unacceptable

The employee swapped my bike for a "new" one as it couldn't be quickly fixed and gave me a bike with broken speeds (the speeds switch on the handle doesn't work). I realized this only after I had left and the store had closed for the day. As I pay a subscription for a 7-speed bike this is unacceptable. Now I have to take time out of my day again to go to the store, wait in queue and try having this fixed. Not to mention me riding around with a broken bike until I find the time to go over there again. I don't want to blame the employee as it was just a young guy, but I do want to be vocal about my dissatisfaction with the service I received from Swapfiets.

Hi Sotiris,

Thank you for your review and for sharing your honest feedback.

We are sincerely sorry to hear that the replacement bike you received has faulty gears. You are absolutely right, this is unacceptable. A bike should be fully checked and functional before it is handed out, and we failed to do that in this instance.

We understand how frustrating it is to waste time coming back, especially when you are paying for a specific service level. Please book an appointment so we can rectify this immediately and get you a bike that works as it is supposed to.

Kind regards,
Team Swapfiets
