Giant is the world's largest bike manufacturer, and their online presence is decent but has room to grow. The product catalog is comprehensive - road, mountain, city, and e-bikes at various price points, often undercutting competitors like Trek. Build quality is solid for what you pay. However, the online shopping experience feels more like a product catalog than a proper e-commerce store. Giant still heavily pushes you to local dealers for the actual purchase and pickup, which can be frustrating if you prefer buying directly. No free shipping listed is a downside, and payment options are limited to just credit cards and PayPal - no financing options for bikes that can run several thousand dollars. The 30-day return window is standard. Delivery can stretch to 14 days depending on availability. Giant makes excellent bikes at fair prices, but their online store experience lags behind Canyon or even Trek's direct sales setup. Great products, mediocre e-commerce.
