Shipping Methods & Times
Gear & Accessories
Orders placed by 2pm (PST) are usually sent out the same day. As long as it is in stock, we guarantee your merchandise will be on it's way within 24 hours. If the items you ordered are not in stock, you'll be hearing from us within hours — not days — of placing your order.
| Domestic | International |
| Most gear ships Priority mail and should arrive within 2-3 weekdays. If it fits in a letter-sized envelope (stickers, cards, etc.) we’ll save you some money and send it 1st class which usually takes 4-7 days. | Priority: A better value, but slower (10 days to 4 weeks) and comes with some risk. |
| International Express: Usually arrives in 3-7 days (sometimes faster), tracking information is available, and your merchandise is insured. |
Frames & Bikes
Most bikes are built and ready to ship within 4-5 weeks. During times of high demand we may need just a bit more time before your bike is ready to ship, but we always work to complete your build as soon as possible.
| Domestic | International |
| $99 | $315 (includes insurance) |
| Unless otherwise specified, all bikes are shipped in one box via UPS Ground and will usually arrive between 3-7 days. | We use USPS Express services to ship bikes around the world so your bike should arrive within 3-7 days. You will receive two boxes, one of which contains only wheels. In most cases, both boxes will arrive on the same day. |
Canada: Our Canadian customers can request a specific shipping method:
- USPS Express: Your brokerage fee will be minimal (under $20) but the bike will arrive in two smaller boxes requiring more steps in assembly, usually done by a proffesinal mechanic.
- UPS/FedEx Ground: You'll pay a higher brokerage fee ($80-150) but the bike will arrive mostly assembled in one box.
Australia: Shipping to Australia is usually around $500. We'll send you a firm quote before finalizing your order.
Duties & Taxes for International Shipments
International customers are responsible for paying all duties & taxes on arrival which vary by country. Please check with your local customs office to determine how much your taxes will be. In some countries, the package will be delivered to your door, in other cases you may need to pick it up at a customs office.
