With UBYK 2u it’s a mobile mechanic franchise service which you pay a fee for the Ubyk name

Pay for rights to the Ubyk name? I assume its a negative fee?

Seems their dross customer service is continuing. Maybe some people need to realise they're just not very good at running businesses.

Looks like they are still dropshipping, selling stuff they don’t have in stock and hoping to get it quickly from their supplier. Great when it works but there are many places in the chain where it can go tits up!

Well if its a fact, its a fact and just because the owner reads the fact shouldnt be a reason not to state it, so let us know.

Otherwise it sounds like a rumour, troll, stirring things up ?

You can look at it 2 ways Iam either a Troll or somebody that knows what is going on lol
Try and order from one of his websites oh wait the Ubyk side is no longer working.

I thought the new guy had just bought the website/platform? What does he owe the old employees?

When was he due to pay for the website? I would have thought that would be an upfront payment (of not a lot) given the state the original business appeared to be in?

I expect them to be on a Pro Forma bases with distributors, After UBYK’s track record keeping the same website you would be treated as a new business. And yes I have worked for distributors & have trade accounts myself

Or we can look at the fact that you joined and have only ever posted on this thread, so are refusing to reveal sources because you made it up?

This does seem fishy !

I got the impression the new bloke is trying to run a genuine business. He may have bought a website with an unfortunate reputation, but thats his choice.

If someone wants to alert potential users to an issue, they need to provide evidence, otherwise its just trolling / spite / stirring.

Peakbikes and Ubyk websites have now both vanished. Hopefully that's the end of the saga and no one else will be shafted by this unscrupulous business.

And all of their social media...well Facebook pages anyway.  Still a life instagram account but not been posted on since August.  Looks like Peak bikes has done a UBYK, if in fact they ever really were so far apart?? Hope no one has been done this time around

Not really
You have a unit that you need to fill, business a needs more work at the minute and is put on the back burner, business b uses the high street space. I think the conjecture and witch hunt on here is all a bit much tbh
