Products

Our Global warehouse provides all items available online. The North America warehouse stocks popular products, which usually ship within 2 business days. Contact us if the items you desire are not listed online.

(1) Are the products available in North America?

When you see two options on the 'BUYING OPTIONS' product page, it means this particular item is available in both the Global & North American warehouses. If you only see one warehouse option listed, this item is only available in that listed warehouse.

(2) Which hubs are available where?

-- Global offers Novatec, Hope, DT SWISS, Tune, Bitex, Extralite, and Carbon Ti. Contact us if your desired hub is not listed.

-- North America offers Industry Nine, Hope, Chris King, DT SWISS, and Onyx hubs.

Payment Fees

We accept PayPal, L/C, T/T, Western Union, and Money Gram. Canadian orders can also be paid via e-transfer. Some of these methods require payment fees.

-- PayPal and credit cards: 3.5% of the order amount.

-- Bank transfer: USD45 bank fee added to your order. The fee from your bank will vary.

-- Western Union: No fees.

GST/HST

We are responsible for collecting and remitting tax on behalf of Canadians who purchase from our North American warehouse (located in Canada). We charge the appropriate tax rate for your respective Province/Territory. Canadian customers who purchase from the Global location (Chinese warehouse) are not charged because the tax is collected by the shipping company upon customs clearance.

Lead Time

(1) Global orders

The product availability can be viewed on the "Overview" of the buying option area. If the item is in stock it will typically ship within two business days. Not in stock items typically require 1~2 weeks to ship. Fat bike rims and wheelsets may take longer.

(2) North American orders

Items that are not wheelsets typically ship within 1~2 business days. If hubs are in stock, a wheelset typically ships in 2~3 business days. Special order or out of stock hubs will take longer. Keep in mind that all of our wheelsets are customized to your selections, often requiring additional build time. If you need a product quickly, please contact us to confirm the availability of your desired hub color or leave us a note when checking out.

Shipping Options

(1) Global orders

Currently, the only available shipment method online is EMS. Usually, it will take 7~10 days to arrive worldwide. Please contact us if your country is not listed or you want to ship with other shipment methods (DHL, Tax-Prepaid Delivery, etc.). Learn more details of those shipping options under the Delivery Methods page.

(2) North American orders

We ship to most locations with UPS, and the level of shipping service can be selected required at checkout.

Do Inspect the Package When you Sign.

1. When you receive a package, it is best to open it up and check for damage before signing for it. Inspect the rims/wheels carefully for damage, especially if the box looks like it has been handled roughly during transit. If there is no damage, then it is okay to sign for the product. However, if there is damaged you need to report this on the delivery slip. Alternatively, refuse the shipment and it will be returned back to Light Bicycle. Light Bicycle will re-arrange shipment within 10 business days after receiving the returned package. If you sign for the package and do not report any damage then there is no recourse we can have against the delivery company and, unfortunately, you would be responsible for purchasing any replacement product.

2. If you did not inspect the product upon receipt but the product was significantly damaged, please contact us within 7 days after signing and keep the original waybill, packing boxes etc. The return request needs to be made by the customer. The shipping company will provide customer compensation number. Please inform us of the compensation number for delivery tracking.

George 2019/03/21

Hi, You mention that your North American Warehouse is based in Canada. Do you know if that would then allow you to ship orders from there to Europe without customs tax thanks to CETA and do you have any plans to start doing that? And would there be much of an impact on shipping costs? Thanks, George

LightBicycle 2019/03/22

Hi George, The CETA only affects tariffs, it's different from the tax. So I think ship from China(global warehouse) is a better solution. Currently, we provide 2 kinds of shipping methods to Ireland as below. Which do you prefer? TPD delivery: USD89 for two rims, USD155 for one wheelset, tax pre-paid duty, don't need to pay customs tax and VAT cost, 7~12 days roughly for delivery EMS delivery: USD58.4 for two rims, USD97.2 for one wheelset, need to pay Customs fee if necessary. We will also declare the low value to help you reduce the tax cost, 7~12 days roughly for delivery. Thanks, Lightbicycle
