My Experience Of Buying From Fc Moto

Good to know. They're off my list.

 

We ( one of my brothers and I) bought our current riding trousers and jackets from fc moto. They were very good to deal with. €50 per item cheaper than Get Geared and very prompt delivery. We ordered on a Sunday and all four items were delivered on the following Wednesday. All exactly as ordered.
I would use them again.

 

I've bought from them before with no issues.

I think returning to ANY EU seller is going to be cumbersome now, so maybe not an issue with FC Moto specifically?

 

As others have said i've bought stuff from them while we were still in the eu without any problems though I never sent anything back but now we're not I personally wouldn't buy from them again

 

I used them once for some motorcycle jeans whilst we were in the EU. All was good except fit was not right, so returned but it took an age for the refund to come through. Now we're out of the EU I won't use anyone not in Britain because of the difficulty and expense of returns if something isn't right. Which is a shame because there are some good deals to be had in Europe.

 

Agreed, am off to France next week so will be checking out some Furygan trousers while I'm there

 

Bought some shad pannier cases from shad in Spain which were very cheap then got slapped with customs tax so in all I only saved £10 but it was still the cheapest! I’m not sure where the exact threshold is regarding customs tax though

 

Sad enough, it's not FC-MOTO, it's Brexit. Everything between the UK and the continent is now back as it was before the EU existed. Forms, forms... and forms. I ordered several times at Sportsbikeshop, jacket too small or too big: after returning it I had another at my doorstep in less than 7 working days but since Brexit I don't do it anymore as I am afraid of this kind of issues.

I don't think it's like it was before the EU existed. It's just a combination of people not knowing what to do and some people just making it difficult on purpose.

 

Spoken like a true Brixiteer. There is more bureaucracy now. It's a pain.

 

What is this Brixiteer you speak of ?
I've never been to Brixham.

 

I think your avatar gives us a clue, Andy.

 

I have had zero problems with ordering from the UK, Italy, Germany, or Spain. It is AMAZING to me how it’s no different from ordering something from, say, Los Angeles.

That said I never order something that I might want to return. Cause it’s going to be a pain, obviously.

Why did y’all leave the EU again? Doesn’t seem like a win.

 

my brother ordered a helmet
fc shipped dhl to the usa/México border
it got handed to the México post service
at this point it becomes like a lottery ticket traveling on the back of an old donkey
no trackingn andno one knows how long it will take
after 2 months he presented a claim to FC
he got reimbursed quickly
the helmet arrived, and it did not fit him

 

And how many time had it been dropped in its box on the journey? There’s some things I’d never order on line and strongly that’s one of them.

 

ordered my helmet from fc moto, but not quite direct placed the order through their eBay listing as I thought it may be easier if it didn't fit and needed a different size. as it happened it fitted fine so no issues. would be interesting to know if I had to have returned it whether it would have been the same hassle you had. thinking I may have dodged a bullet
