I contacted member support last week regarding an issue with trying to change my membership as each time Ive tried while signed in to change it myself, it said only to new customers. *****, the rep who I was emailing was tone deaf and gave me a link to look at options. I replied and said I want to change my membership but there is an issue and I would like if someone could assist. He replied back asking which membership level I wanted and I replied. He then sent an email to the same link before telling me to change it. Its frustrating because I went back and forth stating what happened repeatedly and instead of helping me, he sent a link to which wouldnt work for me. Very unprofessional and doesnt seem to understand basic troubleshooting and customer service. I asked for my issue to escalated to someone else to help and he cancelled the membership without my consent or even asking me if I want to. Im so confused as to why this would be the solution when I never stated or asked to cancel my membership. I also asked for someone else to help to which he didnt do. Peloton needs to have better employee training and customer service. Also, I was never contacted as he mentioned.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:They did not offer a resolution as far as correcting the mistake, why it was ok for the associate to cancel my subscription without my approval and did not offer compensation whether in a form of a billing credit and/or apparel. I have called and emailed support many times and unfortunately things are never resolved. I asked for my phone number to be updated and yet my old phone number is still on file. It's been frustrating trying to get quality customer support and resolution. It would be nice to talk to someone from leadership (or not customer support) to discuss this. This isn't my first time experiencing issues with customer support and I don't feel confident my issue will be resolved with them as I continue to get the runaround.

On August 28, peloton delivered a broken product. The technician sent to repair the product confirmed it is not repairable. A replacement product was sent. The replacement product arrived broken as well. A tech confirmed that the replacement product that was delivered broken was also not repairable. On November 13 Peloton attempted to send a replacement product, but did not include all parts. I refused delivery of the half hearted attempt as it was not a usable product yet again. This has been going on for 2.5 months and I am done trying to order a product from this organization and want a refund for my purchase price.Customer Answer

Subject: Notice of Dissatisfaction, Request for Price Adjustment, and Complaint ************************** Dear ******************** Care Team,I write to you as a dissatisfied customer, seeking resolution for a matter that involves both a pricing discrepancy and unsatisfactory customer service interactions.On 2022, I purchased the Peloton Guide for $360. Subsequently, I discovered that the same product is now being offered for $95. This substantial reduction in price has left me disconcerted, particularly as an existing and loyal customer. Despite my reasonable expectation for a price adjustment, I was informed by your representatives that such accommodations would not be extended.Furthermore, my attempts to address this matter with your customer service team have proven unproductive. Assurances of call backs from managers were made by both ***** and *******, yet to date, I have received no such communication. This lack of responsiveness is not only frustrating but also reflects poorly on Peloton's commitment to customer satisfaction.I draw your attention to the potential legal ramifications of such actions, including but not limited to consumer protection laws and principles of fair dealing. It is my expectation that Peloton, as a reputable company, will address this matter promptly and appropriately.I hereby request a reconsideration of the price adjustment in accordance with the current market value of the Peloton Guide. Additionally, I insist on a thorough investigation into the conduct of your customer service representatives and an assurance that such lapses in service will be rectified promptly.Sincerely,*************************** ************Business Response

The seat post replacement recall was issued early ******************************************************************* October after having to call peloton for months to Inquire on the status. I have also now been waiting for a technician to be sent to install. Overall very dissatisfied on how the recall has not been addressed in a timely manner and has lasted over half of the year to have this safety issue addressed. When I called peloton to have my membership dues paused (as I dont feel safe using the bike until the bike is repaired), they denied my request.Business Response

My bike has been broken for 2 weeks. I can not get anyone to fix it. Terrible service, and they are the worst for customer service. I am literally in tears over this. There is no accountability! I have the 1 year warranty and the extended warranty. Worst company ever. I am so sorry I bought this bike.Business Response

We purchased the tread and rower on March 27, 2023. It was delivered in April 2023. The tread never worked properly. We received a number of error codes or error messages over the last several months, reported them to Peloton, utilized workarounds (unplug/ restarts) until the most recent error code caused the tread to stop working entirely. It took several attempts and several hours to get through to customer service. I did troubleshooting again only to be told a part needed to be replaced and a tech appointment was scheduled. The customer service rep told me the technician would have the part needed on the truck. Not surprisingly, we just received a message from the assigned technician to confirm we received the part. When we said we hadnt, the appointment was cancelled and we were told it would need to be rescheduled. The part is back ordered. So far, customer service has been unresponsive again to my follow-up notifying them of this most recent development. I have attached as much of the history of the correspondence as possible. This has been such a frustrating experience. We asked to simply return the equipment and get refunded and Peloton refused. We have only owned the equipment for 6 months, the tread is obviously faulty or defective. We are under the limited warranty but that seems worthless if repairs cant be meaningfully scheduled and completed. In my experience, it seems like there are a number of widespread issues, peloton is aware of them, and they are intentionally giving people the run around - on customer service lines (transfers around) and with proposed resolutions that get you off the phone but ultimately amount to no follow-through (the scheduled technician who has to cancel because theres no part available). The amount of time spent on these issues is just ridiculous. We are long-time peloton customers. We bought the bike back in 2017. This more recent experience has been disappointing, frustrating, and incredibly expensive.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:We were told a part needed to be replaced and have twice now scheduled a technician to come to complete this repair and its twice been cancelled because the part hasnt shipped. **************** initially said the part would be something the technician had on their truck. We were then contacted by the scheduled tech who inquired if we had received the part. When we followed up about this discrepancy, customer service explained it was their mistake and that the part had been ordered (on Nov 5) and there was a minor delay in shipment due to a change in a shipping partner. Its now been almost two weeks and the second appointment was cancelled today because the part has still not shipped. We are still in the limited warranty and this piece of equipment is clearly defective. This solution of a replacement part that is on back order for evidently longer than we are being told is in no way a meaningful solution here. We are still paying for the equipment and service we cant use. Its just a continual postponement of a problem with the tread I think Peloton knows full well exists and isnt actually remedying. I want to return the tread for a refund or exchange it for a different piece of equipment.

We are very sorry to hear about this delay in resolution for the member. We can confirm that the part needed for repair has shipped, and the member was notified via email on 12/2/2023. As a gesture of apology for the inconvenience, we have waived the next monthly membership fee.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:A credit for one month of the subscription service (a roughly $47 value) is not sufficient.
The complaint history on this brand new machine dates back to late August/ early September and, as we have previously noted, the machine worked unpredictably or wasnt working at all.
We waited on the part for several weeks, made and cancelled multiple appointments, before finally the part arrived on 12/7. Today, 12/9, was our third or fourth scheduled technician. As can be seen from the attached, we were contacted with a confirmation but then no one called before or during the **** window. I had to AGAIN reach out to Peloton to report this issue and they got someone to contact us at 3:12 who said he could be there within 45 minutes. The technician didnt arrive until 4:45. He was lovely and incredibly helpful but came to us from *************, explaining he wasnt the person that was supposed to be assigned this job but picked it up when Peloton contacted him. Someone clearly dropped the ball.
The amount of time this has cost us is incredible. Phone calls, emails, and documenting. Please do better than offering $47.

I have been continuously been charged for services I didn't use and overcharged for items I ordered. I paused my membership earlier this year due to a safety recall initiated by Peloton. They still kept billing me even though the equipment could not be used. I had to contest it with my credit card and block them from future transactions. Once my credit card credited the charges, I removed the block. This issue was resolved but a new one surfaced yesterday. Peloton sent me an email with an offer to purchase a glass bottle for $1. According to the email, this included shipping and handling. I was then charged $15.27 for this water bottle. I called the company today and was told they couldn't cancel the order. The item hasn't been shipped but was told I'd have to return it first before a refund is considered. Peloton has awful customer service!Business Response
