Dispatch Times

• Most bikes are dispatched within 2 to 5 working days once your order is confirmed.
• During busy periods, dispatch times may be slightly longer. If this applies to your order, we will keep you informed.

How Bikes Are Shipped

• All bikes are professionally prepared by our workshop before dispatch.
• Bikes are securely packaged in a purpose-built bike box to protect them during transit.
• To ensure safe delivery, some components may be partially disassembled, such as handlebars turned sideways, pedals removed, or front wheel removed.

Assembly on Arrival

• Minimal assembly is required when your bike arrives.
• This usually includes fitting pedals, straightening handlebars, and installing the front wheel if removed.
• We strongly recommend that all bolts are checked and tightened to the correct torque before riding.
• If you are unsure, we advise having the bike checked by a qualified bike mechanic.

Delivery Service

• Bikes are delivered by a trusted courier experienced in handling large and fragile items.
• Delivery is usually 1 to 3 working days from dispatch.
• Someone must be available to receive and sign for the bike.

Missed Deliveries

• If a delivery is missed, the courier will attempt redelivery or leave instructions on how to rearrange delivery.
• Additional delivery charges may apply if multiple delivery attempts are required.

Damage in Transit

• Please inspect the bike and packaging on delivery.
• Any visible damage must be noted with the courier at the time of delivery.
• If you believe your bike has been damaged in transit, contact us within 24 hours with photos of the damage and packaging.
