and finally...

Highland Bikes is an actual bicycle shop. Now the unfortunate thing about some mail order bikes, is that the company you buy them from rarely ever remove them from the box. You receive the bike as it left the factory. You can take it from us that every bike we unpack takes at least 2 hours to make it ready to cycle. If you decide to check out our competition and they tell you that all you have to do is turn the bars and put on the pedals on, ask them if they unpack the bike and service it before they send it to you. Every bike that we sell is unpacked, correctly assembled and serviced, repackaged and is delivered to you as ready to cycle as we can make it (allowing for packaging). In most cases, all you genuinely have to do is fit the pedals and turn the handlebars but only because we've done the rest. Because we are a working bike shop and not just a faceless mail order company, we occasionally run out of stock. If this is the case we promise to let you know and to give you the most accurate delivery date we can. Delivery times can vary but are usually between 1-3 days but we do our best to get your items to you as fast as we can. If you need something for a particular time eg you're going on holiday in 2 days, please let us know, so if we cannot fulfil your order in time we can let you know and you can make other arrangements if necessary. While we appreciate your business, we would prefer to lose a sale than let you down.
