Fiamma help

-

I have the Fiamma Carry-Bike Pro E-Bike carrier on the back of a motorhome, which I had recently purchased.

Unfortunat­ely, the screws holding the bottom bike rail (through the upright pole) are badly worn, making it loose.

I enquired through Fiamma’s online service about the part number so I can order a replacemen­t, but received a very disappoint­ing reply telling me to contact the original supplier. Being a brand-leading company I was expecting a helpful reply… So much for customer service.

ED We informed Brian that the Fiamma Online service he used was a UK dealer and not the company itself. It’s very easy to get confused as there are a lot of websites registered with Fiamma in the title, which are not the manufactur­er’s website.

This is the official website: fiamma.it/en/service/ customer-service/

Brian replied: I contacted Fiamma Italy on the website you suggested and, within an hour, received an email listing its UK agents/distributo­rs.

I contacted eight of the companies and only received acknowledg­ement from two, who were unable to help.

I advised Fiamma, who then promised to contact a company in the UK that could help.

The next day, I received an email from another company saying Fiamma had been in touch and, on its instructio­ns, free of charge, dispatched a complete set of fixings.

What fantastic service from Fiamma, which demonstrat­es excellent customer service, but my experience of support from the UK main stockists was sadly lacking to say the least.

Again, thanks for your help as, without the informatio­n you supplied, I would not have resolved my problem.
