Shipping and Return Policy
SHIPPING ... We're really good at it!
The competition may be boasting about next day delivery, but at Cyclebitz we ship the day before yesterday. In fact, our PRIMO members are tied in telepathically, eliminating the need to even place the order. You think about it and wham, it's there yesterday... before you thought about it basically. ;-)
Okay, all kidding aside, we are a small outfit and do ship ultra fast - Most orders ship same day, either from our Asheville, NC location or from a warehouse near you (which often results in next day delivery).
If you live nearby Asheville, NC and would like to pick your order up at our Cyclebitz Asheville shop, simply choose the Pick Up Cyclebitz shipping option. We will let you know when your order is ready.
RETURNS ... Nobody likes returns, so let's work together on this:
All online orders, unless specifically marked as Final Sale, are covered under our 30 day return policy.
All we ask is to be respectful and only return new & unused items with all original labels, tags, etc intact and attached.
- Simply contact us for an RA (email is preferred, please go through our contact page).
- Provide us with your order number, reason for return, and whether you would like to exchange, receive a refund, or opt for store credit1.
- Let us know if we need to email you a prepaid return label (see ground rules below).
- Safely pack up the item(s) and ship to the address we provide you in the RA email response.
- DO NOT attach shipping labels onto or use an item retail display box (such as a helmet box) as a shipping box.
- For higher value items, make sure to use a reputable carrier, with tracking and insure if needed.
- "30 days" means 30 days from you receiving the order.
- Generally we do NOT charge a restocking fee unless the item is not returned in the required condition.
- If we provided you with a prepaid return label, our cost of return shipping (unless we made a shipping error) may be deducted from your refund. This is decided on a case by case basis.
- Original paid shipping (unless we made the error) is never refunded. Unfortunately UPS or USPS do not refund us either.
- If your order had free shipping (meaning we paid to get the item to you) our actual shipping cost paid may be deducted from your refund. Again, this is decided on a case by case basis.
- HOWEVER... we may be able to absorb some or all costs associated with shipping, returns, and restocking, if you opt for exchange or store credit. It's our "lets work together on this" approach.
Much of it has to do with the actual product and order size.
For example, are you returning a $9.95 item or a $1,000 purchase?
A small mail item or a big & heavy item in oversized packaging?
Refund or store credit?
There are many variables to consider for us, on a case by case basis.
We do prioritize our relationship with you, our customer, and will do everything we can to minimize impact. On some items, we may have enough margin to absorb costs, while on others we simply don't.
