Discounted Super Saver Shipping
For International orders, we offer Discounted Super Saver Shipping which is a discounted shipping option that will typically ship using UPS Mail Innovations or USPS Priority Mail International. Rather than paying the full amount, we offer discounted rates with discounts comparable to those provided to our U.S. customers based on what a U.S. customer would normally pay to ship the same package via Ground shipping.
Can I use a freight forwarder?
Generally our system requires that orders are shipped to the billing address, however there may be exceptions for certain customer accounts. If you are able to choose an alternate shipping address, please be aware that our obligation to you has been satisfied upon delivery to the forwarding agent and any claims against lost or damaged packages will be forfeited at that time. Some agents may require that we provide customs and export officials the right to search the contents of outgoing freight. In an effort to expedite delivery of your goods, we will comply with any such requests unless you explicitly direct us otherwise at the time you place your order.
Can you list a lower amount on my invoice?
We cannot list any amount other than the actual amount paid by you on invoices or customs forms, after any discounts; please note that store credit is not a discount, and is taxable. Please do not ask us to list a lower amount, or list your order as a 'gift', as it would be illegal for us to do.
Attention International Customers: We screen diligently for Credit Card fraud! Due to the increasing high risk of fraud with accepting international orders, we have some restrictions in place to deter fraudulent activity. We reserve the right to delay the processing of your order until we have verified your credit card information. If we are unable to verify the legitimacy of the purchase transaction, we reserve the right to cancel the order and reverse or void the credit card charges associated with the purchase. Please note that we pursue all legal avenues - advise credit card companies, credit bureaus, and law authorities regarding any suspicious, attempted, or experienced credit card fraud.
Due to United States sanctions, we cannot ship to these countries: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya, and Sudan. We reserve the right to refuse the processing of any orders from countries that are known to be actively involved in credit card fraud.
Can You Provide Me With a Tracking Number?
Yes. USPS Express International, USPS Priority International Mail, UPS Worldwide Expedited and UPS Worldwide Express services provide you with an International tracking number.
How Much Will it Cost to Ship to Me?
The pricing for the shipping options will be presented to you before you finish your checkout. All of the store items are weighed properly so when you check out, the system will compute the correct shipping charges for you and present you with a list of shipping options. If you put some items in your shopping cart and start the checkout process, you can see what the shipping charges will be without actually needing to complete an order.
Does the shipping I pay you include any customs, duties, or tax fees?
No. Customs, duties, and taxes are not included in your shipping fee paid to us. You will need to pay any customs, duties or tax fees to your local delivery person after your packages is processed by customs. Performance Bicycle is unable to determine what your country may charge you for these fees. We suggest that customers contact their local postal carrier or customs department for further information on duties, taxes, or custom fees for their country.
UPS Brokerage Fees
A Customs Broker helps process packages through customs in a timely manner. USPS does not use brokers but UPS does. As a result, if you do not have your own Brokerage company to assist you with customs clearance, UPS will use theirs and may charge you a Brokerage Fee. This fee is not included in your shipping charge.
Warranty Issues
While domestic customers should address warranty issues to the U.S. manufacturer or distributor, this is not always possible for our International customers. Please contact Performance Bicycle Customer Service with any concerns regarding defective products so that our team can assist you with finding a resolution through the proper channels.
Damaged Package Claims
If you have received your order, and your package was damaged in transit, please contact us within 48 hours of receipt of your package. Customers with damaged packages can file a claim directly with us. Please keep all packaging (box, packing paper, etc.) for verification purposes. We will most likely request the damaged product(s) be shipped back to us for verification.
Lost Package Claims
If you have not received your order, and feel your package may be lost, please contact us. All packages shipped by Performance Bicycle are insured for 100% of the package's value. If your package is in fact lost, we will either replace the package, credit your account for the full amount, or offer you a refund for the full amount of the order.
