4 In-Store Pickup & Shipping
4.1 How does In-Store Pickup work?
Once you've placed your order, and we have processed it, you'll receive an email letting you know when it's ready to be picked up at our bike shop: 3709 S Ferdinand St, Seattle WA, 98118.
When you arrive, please inform our staff that you have an online order to pick up and they will find it for you.
4.2 Can my order be shipped?
We will ship select items. Shipping options are referenced at the point-of-sale on our webstore.
4.3 Can you ship a bike to me?
Unfortunately no, we do not currently offer shipping for our bikes. Since nearly all of our bikes are used and refurbished, shipping would be a headache for us and a fortune for you. We have a great system set up for In-Store Pickup at the Bike Works shop at 3709 South Ferdinand Street in Seattle.

No. All returns must be processed at our shop location in person.
