Shipping and Returns

Bicycle Shipping and Assembly

Single speed Children's Bikes will be shipped by Sheffield Cycles as they are received from the manufacturer. Customer assembly will be required.

Cycles sent mail order by Sheffield Cycles may not be fully assembled due to the fact they will not fit in a cycle box. All full size cycles are fully built and assembled for inspection before being disassembled and placed in a cycle box. Some assembly will be required as in pedals, front wheel, seat pin, handle bar and stem. Please call if you are unsure on how to do this.

Recycled Packaging

Sheffield Cycles actively promote recycling. Wherever possible bikes and other products will be repackaged in their original box, however on occasions we will recycle boxes. This may be, for example, if the original box is too small after partial assembly of your bike, another bike box may be used. Due to this the packaging may not represent the contents.

Please make sure you check the contents of the box before returning.

Delivery to Billing/Card Registered Address

Sheffield Cycles are happy to deliver to an alternative address; however this can only be done at our discretion usually after three orders. This may not be the most convenient option but online fraud is a serious matter and we have taken these steps to eliminate online fraud when ordering at Sheffield Cycles. We are aware that our competitors will dispatch orders to non registered addresses (i.e. work address) but we feel our security procedures protect customers as well as Sheffield Cycles against fraudulent purchases.

If you require more information on this policy please call 01283 532155 and speak to member of our web sales team.
