Cycle King & Hawk Cycles Store Terms & Conditions

Delivery and Handling

We can only deliver bikes to UK addresses. Orders received by 1 pm Monday - Friday will normally be dispatched that day. Delivery time for bikes and any other items where you select next-day courier is normally 1-2 working days, but it can be longer. However, many do arrive the next working day. Spare items via standard Royal Mail are normally delivered within 3-5 working days, but you can select a quicker delivery option if required when at the checkout. We shall not be liable for any consequential losses caused by delivery delays.
Unwanted goods (Home Delivery Only)
We will refund all unwanted and incorrectly ordered items if you notify us within 14 days of receiving the goods, provided that they are returned to us in perfect saleable condition. The return postage costs, in these instances, are the responsibility of the purchaser. Should you wish us to arrange for our courier to collect the goods, our standard charge for this is £20. After the initial 30 days, if any goods are returned that you feel are faulty and not repairable and covered by the manufacturer's warranty, these must be returned to us for inspection, together with your purchase receipt. If it is found to be a genuine fault of manufacture (not accidental damage, misuse, abuse, neglect, normal wear and tear, something that can be adjusted, or a part that can be changed), we will usually either repair or replace it free of charge. In some cases, we may offer a full refund. Your standard postage costs will usually be reimbursed, but we will not reimburse any additional postage costs you paid for services such as priority delivery. If you are unavailable for delivery and the item is returned to us via the courier or Royal Mail, charges will be incurred. Should the item subsequently be refunded for this reason, these charges will be deducted from your final refund.
Faulty parts
If any parts on the bike are faulty or develop a fault during the guarantee period, we will send out replacements free of charge, so long as they are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Customers have a 30-day return window if purchases are damaged or faulty. Any labour/fitting charges are the responsibility of the purchaser. If any goods are returned claiming to be faulty, which we regard as not being covered by the manufacturer's warranty, we will contact you to inform you of this. In this event, you will be liable for all postage costs. We will despatch all warranty claims within two working days by first class recorded delivery or courier, and this will need to be signed. This does not affect your statutory rights.
When your goods are delivered
When you receive your bike or bikes, it is important that you inspect them before signing for the delivery. If you suspect that the goods are damaged or the box containing the goods looks badly damaged, then you should refuse delivery. In this event, do not sign for the goods. Please get in touch with us immediately (within three working days maximum) so that we can resolve the situation with our courier. Another bike will be sent out to you as soon as possible. If you sign for the goods and subsequently find that the goods are damaged, it will be harder for us to deal with your complaint. It is important that all original packaging is kept until you are satisfied with the bike or bikes and are sure that they will not need to be returned. Couriers will not accept a bike if it is not in its original packaging. Replacement goods will only be sent where the fault is deemed to have occurred within a reasonable time period.
Postage Costs

All postage costs relating to the returning of goods will be the responsibility of the buyer (except when the goods are either faulty or incorrect and notification is given to return the goods within seven days of receiving them). We only offer a collection service for warranty claims within 28 days of the delivery date. Bikes will only be collected if they are enclosed in their original box.
Parts Missing

If a part is missing, damaged or broken, there is usually no need to return the whole bike. Contact us, and we will send any item(s) to you free of charge on the next working day (whenever possible).
Assembly of your Bicycle
All bicycles are supplied in the manufacturer’s original carton and will require assembly. This assembly, whilst minimal, should be done by a trained cycle mechanic and is likely to incur a cost to the purchaser. If you have any queries regarding assembly, please contact us using our Help link.
Returns (Home Delivery Only)
PCM Group conforms to The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which are designed to protect you when buying items by mail order. In the unlikely event you need to return anything to us, please contact us in any of the following ways:

  • - By email to info@pcmgroup.co.uk
  • - By post to PCM Group, 1-5 Professional Place, Hodgson Way, Wickford, SS11 8YX.
Please put as much detail as possible in the email in case it is possible to resolve the problem without returning the bike, and still to your satisfaction. If it is necessary to return the bike, we will email you a return number. We ask that you include a copy of this email with the returned bike. Please do not return any item without first contacting us.


Warranty
All cycles are guaranteed for 12 months from manufacturer defects. In addition, many of our bicycle frames have a lifetime guarantee. All cycles must be registered for their warranty within 60 days of purchase and returned to the store for their 6/8 week service. Failure to return a cycle will result in us being unable to adjust your new cycle after it has settled in and potential damage that will not be covered under your warranty. Further warranty details can be found here. In any instance, your statutory rights will be unaffected.

This Trade-In offer cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts. The discount is calculated based on the price of the new bicycle you select. For example, if you choose a bike priced at £500, you will receive a £50 discount when you trade in your eligible old bike.
