Delivery schedule and Shipping costs
UK delivery time for parts and accessories is stated at 2-4 working days, bikes are built in approx 35 days (excludes CustomColour) and take a further 48 hours in the post from despatch. Next day delivery is available within the UK on orders placed before 2pm (orders placed before 2pm on a Friday will be delivered on the following Monday). There are a range of worldwide delivery options available and schedules vary depending on the destination. For sales outside the EU, there may be customs/import duties to pay depending on the value of the goods – these are the responsibility of the customer. Please note there are restrictions on all shipping types, for full details please see our delivery page .
Delivery of bikes takes longer due to every bike being custom-built to order. Please contact us for current build times.
Please note that our mailing partners do not perform collections on Bank Holidays and this may impact your delivery time if selecting a priority shipping service.
Pre-Ordering
Please note that payments for pre-order products are taken in full when your order is placed. If you have paid for your purchase via V12 Finance, the agreement and payments will not commence until your goods are dispatched for delivery or are available for collection from store.
If you have paid using a Cycle to Work voucher, please note that your pre-order date is subject to change depending on when we receive your voucher and can release your order. This is because we can only allocate a frame to your build once full payment has been received. Furthermore, your scheme may start salary deductions immediately (please seek advice from your chosen scheme provider if you are unsure on this point).
Every effort is made to ensure that pre-order dates are accurate, but in some cases, it may be necessary for us to amend these dates. Under these circumstances, we will communicate any changes that apply to existing orders.
Orders
All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If the goods ordered are not available, you will be notified by e-mail (or by other means if no e-mail address has been provided) and you will have the option either to wait until the item is available from stock or to cancel your order.
Orders that are placed by yourself at Ribble Cycles will be treated as an offer to purchase the goods and we have the right to reject such offers at any time. Any automated acknowledgment of your order received from us does not amount to our acceptance of your offer to purchase goods on the website. The contract between ourselves, Ribble Cycles and the buyer is concluded when we (i) take payment or (ii) dispatch the goods, whichever is the latter.
Any items sold on the website are not for resale or distribution. We reserve the right to limit the number of products that you may select to purchase. We reserve the right to cancel orders where we believe products are being ordered that are in breach of this provision.
Ownership of any bike purchased from Ribble is non-transferrable, any warranty becomes null and void in case of resale.
