PEDALS
Not all bikes are provided with pedals; if you have any queries regarding what the bike is supplied with, please do not hesitate from confirming this with a member of the sales team prior to placing your order.
Cancellation by MTB Monster
We reserve the right to cancel an order if:
(a) We have insufficient stock and are unable to deliver the goods you have ordered
(b) The delivery service provider we use does not deliver to your area
(c) One or more of the goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers
(d) We suspect a transaction is fraudulent
(e) We cannot deliver your bike, as our suppliers has informed ourselves that they can no longer produce your bike, irrespective of whether it was placed on the MTB Monster pre-season order or not
f) One of our suppliers "product maps"* your order. *Product mapping is when a supplier cannot produce your bike for the season it was expected. In this situation, a replacement order is offered which will be produced for the following season. Here, it is expected the price will increase (which you are required to pay the difference), and you may also find changes across all the following: specification, colour, design and name. If this becomes the only alternative to your order the supplier will not offer any compensation, so at this point it is up the customer to pay the price increase if they want to keep the order.
(g) A price adjustment has been made by one of our suppliers after your order has been placed and therefore increased the manufacturers Recommended Retail Price. If this occurs, we will inform you of the adjustment and the difference to pay. If you choose not to meet the price adjustment, MTB Monster have the right cancel the order and refund any monies paid thus far.
If we do cancel your order, we will notify you by email and will re-credit your account any sum deducted by us (in respect of goods provided by us, and delivery services provided by the delivery service provider (unless amounts in respect of delivery are refunded directly by the delivery service provider), to your original payment method as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered or inconvenience caused.
On dispatch of your order is when a contract between us is formed, until this point no contract is in place.
Orders placed via Paypal Credit Finance are subject to a credit check carried out on completion of an application by Paypal. Once an application is approved an acknowledgement is made from MTB Monster Limited. This is not at this point an order and no payment has been made. Our team will contact you shortly after placing your order to confirm stock and request the deposit amount of your finance agreement.
Orders placed through the use of a Cycle to Work voucher are slightly more complicated. It is always advisable if you are looking to purchase through this method to place a pre order whilst you wait for your voucher to become available to use. This way you can reserve the bike and ensure you do not miss out if your voucher takes longer to process than anticipated. For more information regarding a cycle to work order please contact the voucher provider eg; Cycle to Work, Cyclescheme, Green Commute Initiative etc. Your Human Resource Department at your workplace are also a good point of contact if you have any questions regarding how this affects your wage.
Availability & Lead times
MTB Monster uses availability charts under the image on each product page to advise customers of the estimated date for the next available bike to order. These charts are produced by taking into account the physical stock available at MTB Monster and the available stock from our suppliers. We do our upmost to provide accurate information and this is reviewed on a daily basis. Until a bike is delivered to our store, we are fully reliant on our suppliers and the information they provide being accurate. We do not want to experience delays and will do everything within our power to avoid this, however, there are times when this is not avoidable, and we have no choice and no compensation can be given for this.
Unusual trading environment
Unfortunately, we often find ourselves delivering disappointing news in the current environment to customers as the cycle industry continues to struggle with supply chain issues, demand outstripping supply, and spiralling costs. As a result, we are often at the mercy of suppliers as to whether they supply a product, delay a product, and whether they can honour the original RRP of a product at the start of a season. This is currently commonplace across the entire industry. If any of these variables happen, the supplier will not offer any compensation to us or to you as the customer. As a result, MTB Monster cannot offer any compensation for any of the following situations:
- Delays with your product arriving
- Our suppliers cancelling your order
- Your original order has increased in cost, and can only be kept if you agree to pay the difference
- Product mapping. Product mapping is when a supplier cannot produce your bike for the season it was expected. In this situation, a replacement order is offered which will be produced for the following season. Here, it is expected the price will increase (which you are required to pay the difference), and you may also find changes across all of the following: specification, colour, design and name. If this becomes the only alternative to your order the supplier will not offer any compensation, so at this point it is up the customer to pay the price increase if they want to keep the order.
- Your bike requires a warranty part and delays prevent you from having the item fixed/replaced as soon as you would normally expect.

DELIVERY TIMES AND POSTAGE COSTS
For our latest delivery information please read the following page: Delivery Information . Please note; by agreeing to the terms and conditions you are agreeing that you have also read this page.
For countries outside the UK there may be customs/import duties to pay depending on the value of the goods you have ordered; these charges are the responsibility of the customer to pay. It is your responsibility to be aware of the costs involved, MTB Monster Limited cannot advise on this matter.
DELIVERY NOTE: RESTRICTED POSTCODE AREAS
Deliveries with our couriers are usually completed in 3-5 days from dispatch using a 2 person dedicated delivery courier. If you live in a restricted postcode area this means that your delivery will take longer to complete. The reason for this is that our courier does not deliver in your area as regularly as other areas or that your location is too rural for our courier to be delivered and your parcel will be transferred to a third party courier to complete the final part of its journey. Please click HERE to view restricted postcodes.
We understand that you may want to look into other courier options to reduce the timescales. If this is the case please contact us via email once your order is in place and we will explore the options available to you and do our best to meet your requirements.
CANCELLATIONS
If you have placed an order and want to cancel this is no problem, we will issue a full refund to all standard orders when the cancellation is advised within 2 weeks of the bike arriving in our store. If we are unable to contact you at all via email or phone calls within a period of 2 weeks once the bike has arrived into store we reserve the right to cancel your order and retain your deposit.
RETURNS POLICY & WARRANTY PROCEDURE
Please take the time to read our returns & Warranty policy here: Returns Refunds & Warranties page. Please note; by agreeing to the terms and conditions you are agreeing that you have also read this page.
WHAT IF I HAVE A CUSTOM BIKE?
When ordering a Custom Mountain Bike, you will be liaising at length with a member of our team to ensure the full specification is agreed and signed off by both parties in writing. Once agreed a non- refundable 50% deposit is taken so the build can commence. Changes to specification can be made along the way through discussions with the member of staff involved with your project and so your total build cost can fluctuate, this is no problem, however, if you decide to cancel the build completely you will lose your deposit. If the reason for the cancellation is unexpected we may be able to release some of the components to the value of your deposit back to yourself, this will be at the discretion of the shop manager.
SPECIAL ORDER BIKES & FRAMES?
The following special orders are non-refundable items:
- All bike frame orders are specifically ordered in for a customer and therefore cannot be refunded.
- All bikes and frames that are modified from the point of purchase are classified as a special order. For example, if you have selected specific parts to be fitted to your bike, have upgraded parts direct from the manufacturer such as a rear shock upgrade or have agreed to have an Invisiframe kit fitted this would be classed as a special order.
- Another reason your bike may be classed as a special order could be if you are ordering a bike that is not from our normal stock, for example if it is a particularly big or small size that we do not normally carry or if we are sold out of a certain size and we are ordering it in directly from a supplier specifically for your order.
- You will always be informed in writing if your purchase is identified as a special order.
