Some countries may charge you import tax for certain item. If you have any queries regarding this then please contact you local tax office who should be able to assist you further. Unfortunately Hargroves Cycles cannot advise on import tax and duty enquiries.
 

BFPO Delivery

 
The British Forces Post Office (or British Field Post Office) (BFPO) is an agency that provides a postal service to HM Forces, separate from that provided by Royal Mail. BFPO addresses are used for the delivery of mail in the UK and around the world.
When sending mail from the UK to a member of HM Forces serving overseas, the sender must address it to the appropriate BFPO number, and not to the country in which that person is based.
The BFPO has strict size restrictions on packages delivered through their network. As a result we are unable to deliver bikes and bulky items to BFPO addresses.
Entering a BFPO address
In order to place an order online for delivery to a BFPO address please enter your registered card address in the billing address fields.
 
Then, enter your BFPO address as the delivery address, but for country select UK
 
VAT
 
Please note that we cannot deduct VAT from BFPO orders, as the items are delivered to an address within the UK (BFPO handling office) for onward delivery.
 

Bikes – How We Deliver

 
At Hargroves Cycles we take pride in giving you the best possible bike purchasing experience, whether that is in our stores or online.
 
One area we pride ourselves on is the levels of care & effort we take to ensure that your bike reaches you in a safe & secure condition with only a relatively small amount of assembly required before you're out on the road or on the trail.
Most of the bikes we send will be brand new unopened from our warehouse. We do sell & send bikes that have been in our stores, but we ensure we only send bikes that are in a brand new condition.
 

Delivery Restrictions

 
As a UK based retailer some of the products we stock can only be delivered to UK addresses.
 
Products currently affected are:
  • Stevens Bikes
These restrictions are dictated by our suppliers and form part of our dealer agreements. The restrictions cover all mail order sales.
 
While we are unable to physically stop an item being ordered through the website we will cancel the order before it goes into the processing stage & a full refund will be provided.
Specialized Bikes and accessories can be sent outside the UK but are restricted to EU countries only.
Cube Bike and accessories can be sent outside the UK but are restricted to Europe only.
