SHIPPING
Shipping (Continental U.S.)
Takoma Bicycle will only ship orders within the United States. Orders typically ship USPS or UPS Ground, depending on the item(s). New bicycles must be delivered to end-consumer in person, per our dealer agreements, and cannot be shipped.
Online Orders
Orders usually ship within 1-2 business days. Next-day (overnight) orders are usually delivered by the end of the following day. We will do our best to let you know if your order is delayed for any reason. Takoma Bicycle has the right to cancel an order that appears fraudulent. Our online inventory updates every 12 hours. Feel free to call our store to check availability of any item before you place an order. Please note that some items may be subject to additional shipping and handling charges because of size or weight. Sorry, but we do not ship outside of the Continental U.S.
IN-STORE PICKUP
Most orders will be ready within 1-2 business days. We are happy to accommodate quicker pickup times if you would kindly call us by phone to confirm the order prior to picking it up. Unless special arrangements are made in advance, orders need to be picked up within 10 days or a 10% restocking fee will be charged.
BACKORDERS
Occasionally, some items are unexpectedly out of stock or unavailable and may be backordered. If this should occur, we will only bill your credit card for merchandise that is actually shipped. The total shipping charge for orders split into multiple shipments will not exceed the amount quoted on original order.
