Shipping Destinations

We ship to the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and BFPO addresses.

21/6/21: We have withdrawn our international shipping services. This is due to a combination of factors including a change of VAT rules within the EU (our largest overseas market), increased delays in shipping services and an increase in customs delays. We apologise that we can no longer provide this service for our overseas customers.

UK Shipping Services

UK Standard Shipping Service (Free over £20)

We offer a free shipping service to all UK, CI and IOM locations on orders worth £20 or over. This free service is restricted to non bulky items under 2kg for a limited number of addresses where our shipping partners incur additional delivery costs.

We aim to despatch all orders placed before 1pm the same working day (97% of orders achieve this target), we use Royal Mail First Class post or TNT Courier. Please allow up to 5 working days for your goods to arrive.

All bicycles are processed through our workshop as priority items. After workshop processing they are shipped on an express courier. After completion in the workshop, delivery is normally the next working day (except NI, CI, IOM and Highlands*) . Delivery of your bicycle can be expected between 9am and 6pm. If you are not likely to be at home to receive your goods we recommend using an alternative delivery address (not avaibale with Paypal, Finance or Cyclescheme) or consider visiting the store. For guidance on bicycle delivery lead times, please see estimated delivery times on the respective bicycle's web page.

*Bicycle delivery to NI, CI, IOM and Highland locations may take an additional few days. This is due to the additional logistical processes involved in delivery to these locations such as customs handling, ferry crossings, third party final delivery and extra distance.

UK Express Delivery Service

These deliveries will still be treated as a priority and in most cases be delivered on time. However, we will be unable to offer refunds for delays to orders shipped on these services**

Order before 1pm on any working day and receive your goods the subsequent working day. Orders placed after 1pm will be shipped the next working day for delivery on the subsequent working day. We use either Royal Mail Special delivery or TNT Courier for this service.

Tracking

You can view your order progress my logging into your account or by clicking Recent Orders and entering your order number and postcode.

Not all orders have tracking numbers, if your order is trackable details will be available here.

If you have received a TNT tracking number by email you will not be able to view it until approximately 7pm that evening when it is scanned at our local collection depot. You may also see an older delivery with the same tracking number. This is because TNT reuse their tracking numbers which can lead to a little confusion!

Signing For your Delivery

Any goods of reasonable value will be shipped by a signed for Royal Mail service or Courier. Please provide a delivery address where you will be available to sign for the delivery.

If the Royal Mail or Courier try to deliver when you are out, they should leave a calling card showing a number you can call to rearrange delivery. Alternatively, they may leave your goods with a direct neighbour, this will be noted on your calling card.
