Shipping
I can deliver a bike to any continental USA address for $250. International delivery is possible and its cost will be determined based on your location.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Your bike will be carefully packed, fully insured, and shipped via bikeflights, delivered to your door by UPS, ready to ride, with minimal assembly requirements.
- Usually, only the front wheel and pedals of your bike will have to be removed to fit the bike in a shipping container.
- You will know the tracking number and exact delivery day. I shipped a few bikes, and never had any issues with delivery.
- I need about 5-7 days to prepare a bike for shipping and it takes 5-7 days to deliver within the USA.
- Shipping company will require your phone number to be able to reach you in case of any issues; your number will not be shared with anyone.
SHIPPING COST BREAKDOWN
- The actual shipping within the USA with proper insurance costs $130-180.
- The shipping box alone cost about $50-150, and used boxes are hard to find in decent shape
- Packing is the most important procedure. I don’t trust anyone with packing and it takes me about 1.5 hours to properly pack a bike so that it will be delivered without a scratch and you will get it ready-to-ride in 10 minutes with minimal or no tools. There will be no needs for a $200 visit to a local bike shop.
TOOLS TO ASSEMBLE YOUR BIKE
- Cutter to cut off zip ties
- 15mm spanner wrench to attach pedals and the front wheels
- 5mm hex key (a.k.a.allen wrench) to adjust the seatpost clamp/collar
