 Damaged Merchandise

 

  • In order to ensure the quality of our products, we have carefully checked up each product before shipping to you. Please carefully check up the PACKAGE and PRODUCT before the freight carrier leaves. For bicycles, FORK, DERAILLEUR, and WHEELS are the parts which would be easily damaged in shipping. Please pay more attention in these parts when you receive the bike. Since all products are shipped by the third party (FedEx, UPS, or USPS), we guarantee that all products will be in perfect condition when leaving our warehouse but please understand that we couldn't guarantee scratch-free in shipping. Damaged shipments from handling must be claimed with the freight carrier and noted on the freight bill BEFORE THE FREIGHT CARRIER LEAVES and contact us immediately within 72 hours. If the damage has been noted on the freight bill, we will contact the freight carrier and send the replacement part to you.

  • If any damage is found AFTER the freight carrier leaves and has NOT been noted on the freight bill, the damaged part must be returned for replacement, and the shipping fee is on purchaser's cost. Please email the detail symptoms and pictures of the damaged part to our RMA Dep. (rma@bikebuyers.com) within 72 hours, and we will contact the manufacturer for you and send you the instructions for returning the damaged part. Please do not return Items to us without receiving instructions.

 Assembly

 

  1. Most of the major parts such as frame, fork, crank, suspension, derailleur, freewheel, and rear wheel have been pre-assembled before shipping but partial assembly and some adjustments of the fenders, fender brackets, saddle, handle bar, hand brakes, gears, and wheels will still be required. The adjustments are required during assembly. The manufacturer's warranty will not replace any part which can be adjusted to make it work properly.

  2. The tension of spokes may may changed during shipping. If wheels are wobbly, truing wheel may be required. The adjustment is considered as a part of assembly and not covered by the warranty.

  3. For the safety reason, the manufacturer and us are not able to provide any assistance with assembly/adjustment or any help with the instruction manual, and the manufacturer and us are not responsible for damages incurred because of improper assembly, adjustment, or installation. Therefore, we recommend you to contact your local bicycle shop for assembly and adjustment assistance. Please note that the manufacturer and us will not cover the labor or any related cost.
