Shipping Policy
Customers who purchase complete bikes from us are (understandably) quite concerned about our ability to ship their bikes safely. We have designed a rather ingenious system for shipping bicycles that makes them nearly impervious to damage in transit. On very rare occasions, though, such damage can occur. Please note that if damage occurs to your bicycle in shipping, we must file the claim on our end. You MUST keep all original packaging. Please contact a Gearhead with any questions about how our complete bikes are shipped!
Estimated Shipping Timelines
Orders placed before 3pm MST will generally ship the same day. Orders placed over the weekend or on recognized holidays will generally ship the next business day.
For standard shipping, orders will typically arrive 4-6 business days from the date of shipment.
For economy shipping, orders will typically arrive 5-10 business days from the date of shipment.
Delivery arrival times are estimates only and may change based on order volume or other circumstances, like weather-related delays. If we encounter any unexpected delays in shipping, we’ll contact you via email.
Next Day Air orders must be placed by 12:00 MST in order to guarantee same day shipment and next day delivery.
Free Shipping Offers
If your order exceeds a certain amount, as periodically advertised on our sites, you may qualify for free shipping. For example, we may offer free shipping on orders over $50. Free shipping offers are applied to the order total after any promotions or credits are applied. If this option is available, you will see it advertised on our sites and the available free shipping method will be pre-selected at checkout for your convenience.
