    Follow up to "oh no!" - Thank you Thule!!!

    So, it didn't occur to me until yesterday to contact Thule about the unfortunate demise of my new Ruby bicycle.

    They immediately put me in touch with their claims specialist and less than 24 hours later I have been informed they will reimburse me for the new bike AND send me a new rack. OMG- I couldn't believe it.

    So now I'm their happiest customer ever.

    What a happy ending. Picking up the new bike tomorrow.

    Amazingly awesome! Did they agree that the fault was with the rack? Or are they just incredibly nice?

    SO happy for you!

    I'm sure that's what they were counting on (and I'm not saying that in a cynical way!) When someone has a really outstanding (or terribly bad) customer service encounter, they tell people. One bike reimbursed is cheap advertising for them. "The whole internet" has been told how great they are!

    We have the Thule Helium rack. It has worked fine for us for more than 5 years.

    We assumed it was "operator error" - that my husband just didn't check to be sure the rack was locked in the vertical position. So I did not call Thule thinking they would pay for anything- just to find out what the problem might be or how to avoid it happening again. So I was quite amazed.

    Thanks Pax. I love this color - the stress to get it was not fun, but now that I have it, it's a keeper.

    That is indeed excellent news. I would not have thought of calling them either. Lots of stress but in the end, it is turning out great.
