Upon ordering I was a little skeptical due to the long delivery time however that is because of the corona pandemic that caused disruptions everywhere. 11 - 15 working days was promised for delivery and i received it well within the allotted time frame. I would have received it a day earlier however UPS (the courier) was delayed. Exact time from order to delivery took two weeks.
Now on to the bike. Once the package was received, everything was very neatly placed inside the box. The bike was mostly pre-built (as advertised) and all it took was a little assembly of the front tyre, handlebars and the seat which already attached to the seatpost. This was simple enough and there are instructions as well as online videos to help. The bike rides well, the quality is great and totally justifies the cost. Overall a great experience, I totally recommend.
Very poor communication from them. Asked for additional items to be added to order and received no reply. Had no feedback on length of time my ebike would take to be delivered. Courier did not contact me and 'Track my parcel' app simply showed it in transit. I phoned them (no phone number on their email) and they promised to get driver to contact me 1/2 hour before delivery, as they will not give any indication of delivery time. They did not, so it was a good thing that my doorbell has a camera on it, so I could see them arrive.
Ebike assembly instructions were generic, incorrect and did not detail specific parts of the assembly, such as how to get the Shimano Di2 gears to work.
Contacted Bikester for assistance and they took over a week to respond. Their advice was to take it to a local bike shop!
Bikester seem to think that because they are busy and dealing with coronavirus, that they can forget customer service because of heavy bike sales.
My recommendation is - buy elsewhere.

We are continuing to investigate with the third party delivery carrier. Response times in customer service are taken longer than usual due to exceptional demand for our products during the crisis.
