Who do I call if I have a problem with my bike?

We appreciate every one of our customers and want to provide them with the absolute best customer service. Because we are a smaller shop, we have less overhead, therefore our business model allows us to pass along these savings to our customers! Being a smaller shop, we have a lower number of employees but we do not believe in outsourcing to a call center.

We are proud to offer our customers live chats and phone calls directly from our bike shop's expert employees and owners, not an outsourced call center! Therefore, we can't always answer every phone call as it comes in or in real-time, and we ask that you use our scheduling tool to schedule a phone call with us so that we can better serve you!

I received my bicycle and it has shipping damage, what do I do?

Please inspect the item for any visible damages upon delivery as any damage must be noted on the delivery receipt in order to be eligible for damage claims. Do not refuse the shipment. Please email our Customer Service Department immediately after delivery if damage has occurred, by emailing description and photos of the damage to info@journeybikes.com. Do not assemble your bicycle until you hear back from us regarding any missing or damaged parts.

1. Track your shipment to see the delivery status. Note expected delivery date and if your bike is being delivered "Signature Required" plan accordingly (all Electric Bikes and all bikes over $400 are shipped "Signature Required").
2. When you receive your shipment, ask the carrier the following questions:
1. Is it damaged? Check for holes, water stains, and tears. Check to see if package has been opened. Listen for something broken inside.
2. If your delivery doesn't check out, do the following:

• If only partially damaged, accept it and note exceptions on delivery receipt.
• DO NOT REFUSE SHIPMENT!
• Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery receipt, and have driver sign his full name. After the driver signs, you sign also.
• Unpack your bike box and if you have any missing parts or damaged parts email our Customer Care Team with your findings: info@journeybikes.com. Do not assemble your bicycle until you hear back from us regarding any missing or damaged parts.
