COVID-19 SUPPLY ISSUES

During the Covid-19 pandemic which is still ongoing, we are experiencing long delays from nearly all of our brands. These delays are also relayed to us at very late notice, often when we have chased a late order ourselves. In some cases however, we are told about a longer due date, and then the product arrives with us the following week. We are also seeing some of our pre orders reduced without being given any warning. Therefore we are unable to give perfectly accurate lead times and we appreciate your patience on this. We are shoppers just like you, and no matter whether we pay early for the items, or hold a good account, the issue is the parts from source (mainly Asia).

Here is a key snippet from one of our key mainstream suppliers sent to us via email:

” With regret, we need to inform our retail partners and consumers of shipment delays. We’re in the unfortunate position to advise that due to these delays, a number of bikes will not arrive in time for Christmas. These unprecedented circumstances are a result of delays in bicycle parts, which has resulted in production timescales being pushed back longer than anticipated. This has been further compounded by congestion at critical ports in Asia, disrupting shipping times, as well as delays and bottlenecks at UK ports.”

A lot of our smaller suppliers are also experiencing the same issues, if not worse because all of the big boys have more clout when it comes to group set purchasing etc.

 

REFUND POLICY

  • If you have ordered a product online and it is out of stock we will refund you immediately via the form of payment you paid through. However, you will be offered an alternative product or given a re stock lead time (these are as accurate as can be expected)
  • If you have ordered a product in store, via email or over the phone and it Is not a product that we keep in stock this is called a ‘custom order’. If you change your mind or wish to cancel this order, we will only issue a full refund if we can also cancel this order from the supplier as it wasn’t something we would carry in our stock. In the case that we cannot cancel the order, you will be issued a refund minus the fees for sending a product back to a distributor (usually a 10% re stock fee) and minus the postage fee.
  • If you have ordered a product but the lead time keeps pushing back due to Covid-19 we urge you to be patient. However if you find the product elsewhere will will refund you in full providing it wasn’t a ‘custom order’.
  • If you have left a deposit for a custom build bike and have got to the point of agreeing a spec list and you decide to pull out or change your mind on parts, we reserve the right to hold the deposit, or charge you a fee to return the product to the supplier.
  • If you have a faulty product or have ordered the incorrect item, we will refund the product after warranty has been fulfilled, or once the product is returned to us by the customer. We will not cover shipping costs for incorrect orders or warranty.

 

CYCLE SCHEMES

We accept these cycle schemes:

We don’t accept Cycle2Work, which is the Halfords scheme.

All Cycle To Work Schemes take a fee from us within the sale, some are much worse than others. On a full priced current model bike sale these fees will not be added to the sale. We reserve the right to pass the fees onto the sale whereby a bike is heavily reduced, or if it is a custom build. This also applies to expensive European imports such as Open Cycle and Ritchey.

We accept cycle schemes against accessories if you are just looking to upgrade your current bike.

Cycleschemes cannot be used against the labour within repairs.
