  1. Ok, time to cut UDC some slack.
    All you seem to hear about Unicycle.com is people complaining. The only
    reason you hear this, is because no one ever (or rarely) shouts up if
    they receive good service from them.

    I cant speak about any other UDC than UK - as I've had no dealings, but
    I have heard good things about them.

    UDCUK are great. They are always helpful, and if they haven't got
    something in stock, they will get it for you! They are a great team of
    people, who do work hard, and are apparently human - thus they can make
    mistakes, but are sure to quickly rectify them!

    Please feel free to post if you have something nice to say about your
    Unicycle.Com, as all you seem to hear is the 'other' side of the story.
    Without them, I don't think we would be where we are today.

    Joe,

  2. The problem was never with UDC UK, only in the US.

    I have heard different things from different people, including some
    'celebs'. I don't think anybody should post what someone said, let
    them come by and say it straight from the horses mouth so to speak.

    This can be the UDCUK thread then :P

    I've heard some bad things about alot of companies, and I've heard alot
    of good things too... the good things just never seem to get told.

    Think its a case of 'If you like what we do, tell others, If you dont
    like what we do, tell us'.

  8. They charge my card right away for a back ordered item. Then they
    discontinue the item. I complain "you charged me 65 $ (over priced to
    boot), for these pedals and didn't ship them." I get an email saying
    they will refund my $. Then I get my bank statement a month later and
    they still have my $. I ask again for my money etc.
    Any legit company will not hit your card before they ship the item.
    Any other web site I have ever dealt with knows if something is in
    stock. To combine these 2 lamenesses , with a reluctance to return said
    $ is inexcusable. 🙁
    The reason they charge your account for an item before shipping is a
    conscious profit maximizing choice they would discontinue if they had
    any real competition. But really, for a lot of stuff it's UDC or
    nothing, and they know it, act like it, and we must just deal with it.
    They read this forum and could change said rotten policy and post a
    thread announcing said change anytime they decide to forgo the extra $
    it makes them.🙄

    Joe,

    good things do get told. fairly often even on here. the most goes to
    KH.
    a thread like "this company got the stuff i ordered out that day and
    they were very friendly and blah blah blah." isn't as common because it
    is expected or at least should be.
    where a company who forgets to ship stuff and doesn't get all the parts
    in and doesn't give free shipping for when they forget to send a
    part...
    they deserve to be givin a bad name because they aren't earning a good
    name.

  12. I had a great experience with UDC when I needed to return a
    bargain-basement Sun with a dead hub. They emailed me a return
    shipping label and credited me back for the purchase just as soon as
    they got it. I also got my KH 29 through them (via REI) and they
    emailed me to let me know when the wheel was being built up and when
    they would ship, at a point when I wasn't even getting nervous about
    the ship date. (Disclosure: I work for REI)

  13. I have had six years of flawless service from UDC US involving countless
    orders for anything from parts to (several) entire unicycles. They are
    prompt and courteous. Their prices are exceptional. Their stock is
    flaky but they are a growing company and will make mistakes. If I ever
    had a complaint I would go directly to them until it was resolved
    rather than whine on an internet site.

    I have had years of flawless service with Darren Bedford as well. He is
    prompt and courteous as well as EXTEMELY helpful and accommodating. You
    can go to Darren not really knowing what you want and get exactly what
    you need at a reasonable price.

    I have an annoying habit of making what I want crystal clear with any
    order. I spell correctly, form clear, complete sentences when making
    requests, and include all details. Try it sometime.

  17. UDC.uk.com has never let me down, in the past 3 years ive ordered around
    £800 worth of bits and bobs and not once have i had the chance to
    complain.I've only heard bad things about UDC in the US and they have
    far more customers so theres bound to be the odd [censored] here and
    there.

  18. UDC.UK is fab.

    I've always got what I wanted (and I usually want something different
    from the stock unicycles).

    Most recently I got a bargain price for a metalic powder coating that
    Roger negotiated from the powder coaters.

    I would be much richer if it wasn't for UDC.UK. 😄

  19. I've not had any problems with UDC (UK). The people who work there are
    friendly and enthusiastic (I've mostly spoken to Roger and Miark),
    which is the most important thing I reckon. The only time they did
    make a minor [censored] with one of my orders they sorted it out straight
    away. Can't ask more than that. I don't know what all the moaning is
    about (although it does seem to be more directed at the US branch).

    Not really. Its just that you only hear of people who have problems
    with UDC on here, then the others who have had problems join in and
    make it seem much worse than it is. It really is a jsut a small percent
    of mistakes being made, and most of those mistakes are fixed quickly
    afterwards.

    A few of the things I have read about people complaining about UDC are
    just funny though, and the fault lies within themselves, or they are
    getting greedy and expect to get free things. Makes me laugh at how
    much "Gimme gimme!" attitude some of them have.

    Anyways, UDC does rock, ive ordered frames, unis, and some other parts
    from them perfectly every single time. The only thing I dont like is
    the wait, but I cant blame that on UDC.
