Ordering

I ordered my bike weeks ago, what's the delay?

Distribution centres for nearly all manufacturers are under-staffed due to Coronavirus. We are dispatching orders as soon as we can.

Can I track my order?

When your order is complete, you will receive an email confirming the transaction.

Once our staff have processed the order, we will contact you and confirm details before we arrange delivery.

Delivery

If I pre-order a 2021 Bike how long will it take to be delivered?

Unfortunately their are no confirmed dates for bikes at the moment. Some Brands have dates showing next to the size. Please do not phone us as we will contact you a few days before delivery. This is due to the huge demand for bikes.

Why are deliveries delayed for so long?

Distribution centres and supply chains have been disrupted by staff shortages and restrictions imposed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Manufacturers are also struggling to keep up with an increased demand for bikes.

In addition, delivery services are facing the same impacts but carry the added strain of higher demand for online ordering nationwide. All of these factors have slowed down our normally rapid delivery services.

When will my delivery be made?

Your order confirmation email provides the latest estimated date that your order will be delivered, but your bike can arrive at any time up to and including that date.  Although we will normally deliver within the estimated time shown, in a very small number of cases during very busy periods of high demand, delivery may take a little longer than stated.

If you have not received your order after the date quoted, please message us via our contact page, live chat or email.

At present, we ask that you only call if your message doesn't receive a prompt reply and your query is urgent.

The order has not been delivered?

First check the expected delivery time indicated in your Order Confirmation. If you have not received your order after the date quoted, please message us via our contact page, live chat or email.

We are asking customers to call only if you don't receive a prompt reply and your query is urgent.

Do you deliver to Europe, internationally or outside the UK?

In some circumstances, yes. Please call us, whenever you need us to deliver outside of the UK.

Shipping bikes overseas is usually very expensive. Insurance on international delivery is often prohibitive. Sometimes even manufacturers forbid it, because of their trading policies in other countries.
