Louis Moto's prices are competitive, and its telephone customer services advisers are helpful. its good service is let down by its choice of courier in the UK whose accounting team and local depot fall short of being totally useless! I had to pay VAT and other import duties, which Louis Moto repaid to me with a couple of days of me send it the relevant receipts. Parcelforce, then retained my order on the basis of me not having paid the necessary fees despite me having legitimate Parcelforce receipts proving that all import duties and VAT had been paid. It took several weeks, daily telephone calls and many formal complaints to Parcelforce before my order was released to me. Parcelforce tarnished my customer experience with Louis Moto but despite Parcelforce's negative impact on Louis Moto's brand with me I will continue to order from Louis Moto, but I will not be making any 'mega orders' if Parcelforce remains its UK courier.

The boots were never delivered
Parcelforce haven't sent me any letters and are refuse to email me a copy of the alleged letter etc, however I have sent you a photo of the parcel/sticker detailing the charges which is all that I have but you have failed to transfer the money by PayPal.

Good prices and stock, allow for customs charges to UK.
Good stock held and good priced, because I couldn't find the specific mounting plate in stock anywhere else. Delivery took 2 weeks to the UK but I had to pay just over £100 in customs charges before it was released to me in the UK.
I wasn't aware of this since I don't order stuff often and not really Louis motorrad's fault, although a warning of customs charges and rough estimate of costs would have been nice. For me I had to pay an extra 25% of the purchase price on customs charges so any money I saved on this site didn't matter anymore.
Products all as described, Givi topbox all mounted to the bike with no issues.

Confusing policy for customs charges
Confusing policy regarding the refund of customs charges: sometimes Louis pays for them, sometimes they ask the customer to pay for them and then refund the customer. However, it's not clear which case applies when and it's not clear how long they will take to process the refund to the customer, if they ask the customer to pay.

Had some issues with delivery but it was more down to DHL than Louis. Screen was great and the best price I managed to find at the time. The packaging however wasn't great as it wasn't sealed and the edges of the screen protruded at the sides of box. Screen was unaffected by this though. Communication was excellent however so overall I'm happy with purchase and service

Very good communication from the Team. Delivery timelines were longer than I had hoped however this is a BREXIT issue. All import taxes were quickly refunded to me. I would use this company again.

Ordered a Nolan B602R intercom.
Louis were very prompt with their acknowledgement of thr order and were quick to get it collected by their courier.
I had to pay £57.00 duty before Parcelforce would release the package.
So what I thought was an excellent price, turned out not to be so!

Good customer service, including the management of customs repayment (I’m in the UK). Also quick to respond on a couple of quality issues I raised

UK Customers beware of import duties.
Service from Louis-Moto has been perfect and my goods arrived safely today.
I knock off a star because the Web address is www.louis-moto.co.uk and I specifically noted this point when ordering, however, Louis-Moto is in fact in Germany and this has resulted in me paying VAT both in Germany and in UK equalling an extra £46.23 plus a Clearance fee of £12.00. When you assume you are dealing with a company within UK an extra £58.23 becomes uncompetitive. i now understand the double taxation only applies on good valued in excess of £135 so not all purchases would be affected but UK customers should take such costs into account. I accept I should have been more careful but I do feel the .CO.UK web address gives customers a bum steer.

I am a UK 11 EU45 is far too small…
I am a UK 11 but the boots that arrived were EU45 and were very tight. I could not get them on.I tried to fill out the DHL return form but it wouldn’t allow me to. I phoned you and got no advice that worked. I cannot return them and have had to give them away to someone with size 10 feet. May I suggest you make it clear that sizes are small and that customers should order 1 size bigger. I would probably be comfortable in a 46 or even 47. Your shop though was very efficient and the boots arrived on time with full invoice, tax, customs paid etc. However I did not expect to pay over £70!

Range and price of products poor delivery
Range and price of products.
However the down side is the shipping to the UK. Item was shipped by DHL and a tracking number was given. I was able to track it to the local depot then it said "Delivery not possible." No explanation why it could not be delivered or where it was.
It was impossible to contact DHL and I mean IMPOSSIBLE.
After contacting Louis Moto it turns out the parcel had been handed over to Parcelforce. Moto did sort it out but it would make me wary of using them again

I'm based in the UK and bought from these guys as they quoted a price to include shipping and import duties etc. In the end the item was delayed and I was charged import duty fees, which was annoying. Having said that the Louis-Motorrad team immediately refunded the fee to me. Can't argue with that for solving an issue for a customer!!

Worth the wait…
It took a long while for Schuberth to supply the goods but Louis Moto kept me informed and delivered the helmet very quickly once it was available from the supplier. I needn’t have been concerned about customs charges being added, there were none, everything worked as Louis Moto promised. I’d happily use them again.

Good website, easy to order and good prices.
Would be much better if they offered DDP prices for export customers as if not the goods can get held at a couriers waiting for the duties to be paid
