Charlie’s Stock Promise...

If the website says we have it in stock, we actually have the product here in the shop to send out to you straight away.

I understand that you are ordering the cycle component because you need it, not because you sort of perhaps want it... you need it. Many other shops give the impression that they have stock, take your money, and then what?? Often the importer does not have the stock, so these shops can’t even get one in for you.

The only exception is our frames and complete bikes. We do keep stock here, but can’t possibly cover every option. Take the Surly Long Haul Trucker, a great touring bike... 10 frames sizes, 2 colours, disc or canti brakes, 26” or 700c wheels, frame or complete bike... that is well over 100 variations.

Frames and complete bikes are ordered in especially for you and this allows us to offer you the full range. This often only takes a day or two, we then build the bike for you,  and send via courier. Bikes normally leave us within one week. If we expect delays we will let you know.

At Charlie The Bikemonger we are all (yeah all three of us) cyclists, we’re nice guys, and we’re not here to rip you off.

Honest chaps, good honest service.


POSTAGE

We offer free UK delivery on all orders. On European orders we also do free postage, but this does exclude larger items such as  wheels, frames, forks, bikes, racks etc. You really need to choose the correct shipping option when checking out.
Occasionally the system can miscalculate postage. If you are overcharged we can refund you for any additional postage charges. If you are significantly undercharged, we reserve the right to cancel the sale. In this situation we would contact you and request the postage due.

VAT on postage: Postage charges for postage only, no charge for packaging, therefore no VAT is charged on postage costs..
 
LOST IN POST:
Although everything leaves us within 48 hours, generally less than 24 hours, not all postal systems are as efficient. In Europe (EU) we cannot replace or refund for lost items until 15 UK working days has passed. Outside of Europe its 20 UK working days. These are the terms set by the Royal Mail, not by us. There is nothing we can do until these timings have passed. After 15/20 working days we can issue a refund. If you want a replacement we will need to send it via a “signed for” delivery service. This will cost you an additional £5 for outside the UK. No extra charge in the UK.

Before you contact us, please check with your housemates etc, this solves the problem in most cases "My girlfriend tidied it away".

ALL LOST ITEMS MUST BE REPORTED TO US WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE SALE. This allows us a short period of time to claim from the courier/Royal Mail. Beyond this we are unable to claim for the loss.
