Policies: Payment, Returns, Shipping, Web, Privacy
Shipping
We use USPS Priority Mail for shipping most online orders. This takes 2-3 days in most cases.
We sometimes use UPS Standard Ground, which can take up to a week depending upon the destination.
We will provide you a tracking number to keep tabs on the shipment of your order. We suggest that you provide a business address, if available, for your shipment, to ensure the security and reliability of your delivery.
Please note that shipping time estimates are based on when your order leaves our store. We may need a few days before that to gather all of your items from our stores, and possibly between one and two weeks to obtain any special-order item(s) from our distributor(s).
If you have an urgent need for a part or accessory, please call us, and we may be able to make special arrangements for overnight shipping or other options.
We are only able to ship within the United States of America.
Web Site Policies
Century Cycles is primarily a bricks-and-mortar bicycle shop. Our first priority is to serve our in-store customers to the fullest extent possible in a friendly, face-to-face environment.
We make our product catalog available on our web site so that our customers who like to do their product research online can have access to the information they need to make informed decisions. If you are in urgent need of a part or accessory, we recommend that you call us first to verify availability before placing an online order or making a special trip to one of our stores.
We carry many more products in addition to what are listed here. Likewise, this site shows some products that are not in stock in our stores, but are available by special-order from some of our vendors. When looking at a specific product, remember to click on the "Check Store Availability" link to view stock status.
Browse Globally, Buy Locally
Like you, we’re excited about all the changes happening in the world. And we recognize that the world we all live in, while still vast in a geographic sense, is much smaller today, mostly because of technology, such as the Internet that’s connecting us to you at this very moment.
As you travel the World Wide Web in search of information, we hope you’ll remember that there are many businesses with addresses just a few steps or miles from yours, who value your business and support many of the local events and learning opportunities right here in your community.
These businesses include the bike stores in our area. We know. We’re one of them. And all of us work hard to earn your business day in and day out. The next time you need something for your bike or just want to know about a good place to ride, we hope you’ll remember to check with us, in person, as well as exploring our website. We look forward to seeing you next time you’re riding through the neighborhood.
