The hiring process itself was straightforward: the item arrived on time and was useful. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
When my hire period ended, I called to arrange a return and explained I needed the item longer but planned to buy a cheaper alternative. I was told I could purchase the hired item and later sell it back through StrideOn’s buy-back scheme for £50–£70. Based on that information, I agreed to convert my hire to a purchase.
A few months later, when I contacted them to use the buy-back (the item had mostly been unused in its box), I was told the scheme was no longer running. After I explained that this was the sole reason I had purchased the item, they agreed to reconsider. However, once they received it, I was informed the item was damaged, rusty, and dirty, and they would only offer £20. While I accepted a deduction for dirty wheels, the alleged damage was inaccurate—the item was in the same condition as when I originally received it. My request for reconsideration was declined.
Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I feel the buy-back scheme was used to upsell the product, only to later reduce the payout with questionable claims. I would strongly advise others not to be upsold after hiring.
