Warranty, Shipping & Returns

BikePartners.net Satisfaction Guarantee

We at BikePartners.net want you, the customer, to be happy with your new bicycle, part or accessory. For direct orders shipped from the shop, if your bike does not meet your expectations, you may return the bicycle to us for a full refund, less all shipping charges and a 15% restocking fee. This applies to the purchase of new stock bicycles. There is no refund on special order bicycles and trikes. In all cases, the return shipping charges are your responsibility. To take advantage of this guarantee, you must notify BikePartners.net (707.595.0386 / [email protected]) within 30 calendar days of your receipt of your bike of your intent to return the bike, and we must receive it in our possession within 35 calendar days of you taking delivery of the bike. We also accept returns on parts within 30 days as long as the part is unused and undamaged. Processing your refund usually takes 2-6 weeks from the time that we receive back your returned item(s), and will be in the form of a bank check..

We want your bicycle to work for you, and in order for your bicycle to work well, it should fit. For custom-built bikes from Bike Friday, we’ll need some help from you to ensure that your new bike fits you well, specifically by providing us with the measurements of your best fitting bike (if you own a bike that fits well) and a description of how you feel on this bike. Additionally, you will be asked for some personal measurements with a required accuracy within 1/4″ (5mm) and 3 pounds (1.35kg) – yes of your current weight and not your ideal weight (!) – as well as a description of your riding style and the places you most likely envision riding your new bike. We can guide you through the process of obtaining and interpreting this information. This guarantee does not apply to Stock Bikes, which are not custom built to your specifications, but may come in standard small, medium and large sizing.

Provided with this data, we can guarantee the fit of your new bike if (1) we are matching exactly the dimensions from your current, best fitting bicycle, or (2) we build a custom Bike Friday from your body measurements that includes our optional “fit stem” program. If you choose to have us build a bike for you that is sized in any other way, the bike will be sized per that method and built in a manner that allows for later fine-tuning of the sizing should you choose, at your expense, to pursue a more exacting fit.
