In some special cases, a restocking fee may be assessed when returning merchandise. This will be clearly noted during the checkout process if applicable to the items you are purchasing.
Returns totaling $500 or more will be assessed a 5% restocking. This fee is assessed to cover Credit Card Transaction fees for high dollar returns. Fee will be waived if store credit is requested instead of a refund.

Defective Product Return Policy
If you've received a defective item, please return it to us within 60 days. We'll replace it for you with the same item if the product is currently in stock, or make arrangements to get a replacement item to you. After 60 days, we can help you with manufacturer warranty support.
What Does 'New Condition' Mean?
New condition means the item and all packaging including accessories, boxes, manufacturer tags, and manuals must be returned to us in the same condition as shipped to you. Electronics must have all factory packaging, screen protectors, cables, and accessories, and must not be set up or programmed. Basically, the item needs to look the way it did when it came to you.
To prevent damage to the products, please open boxes carefully. Try shoes on a carpeted floor and don't mount cleats until you are comfortable with the fit. Please wrap saddle rails with electrical tape before attaching to the seatpost to avoid scratching the rails.
Our Updated Returns Process
We've now made it easier for you to start the return/exchange process. When you view your previous orders, you should see a button that reads Return Items for orders shipped in the last year to a US address. Clicking on this button will allow you to specify which items you would like to return, as well as the reason for the return. You will then be able to print a return shipping label and see any credit/refund you might get, including VIP points (more information about VIP points below). The charge for return shipping is $9.95 for most items. Items damaged in shipping, broken on receipt, or incorrectly shipped will not be charged return shipping. We're sorry, but heavy and/or oversized do not qualify for flat-rate shipping and will be charged our discounted shipping rate.
Exchanges - USA
We know it's often difficult to know what size shoe or apparel product is going to fit you when you can't try it on first. We take the risk out of purchasing over the internet. If upon receiving your order you find you need a different size or color, just return the item in new condition, using whatever shipping method you'd like. You're responsible for the return shipping cost, but once we've gotten your return, we'll ship you the size exchange at no charge (within the United States).
