| Introduction: |
Dirt Bike Bitz offer a fast, efficient and hassle free delivery service. You choose which products to buy and decide where you would like them sent, and we will make sure your items are carefully packaged and arrive safely and quickly.
*We try our best to get all orders dispatched within 24 hours of receiving your order.
If you are based in the UK....
then you should normally allow around 48 hours to receive your order, e.g. if your order is placed on a Monday it will go out on Tuesday for delivery Wednesday. During busy periods, e.g. November, December, you should allow 4 - 5 days to receive your order. However, if you live in the Borders or north of there, Parcelforce delivery periods are 2 days, even though they are sent on a 'next day' service, sorry.
If you are based outside of the UK....
then delivery times will take longer. Please see the table below for estimated delivery times to your country.
We use Parcelforce for all items which are too large to post so, if you happen to be out at the time of the delivery a card will be left and you can collect the item from your local post office. Unfortunately it is not possible to advise on the actual time of delivery.
A signature is required for all orders sent via Parcelforce. Someone must be at your delivery address to sign for your parcel between 8am and 6pm.

| Free Shipping: |
FREE SHIPPING is available on ALL internet orders to the UK with a minimum order value of £5.00. We also offer free shipping with a minimum order value as detailed in the Shipping Table below.
FREE SHIPPING is NOT available on telephone orders under £50 and our standard rate of £3.99 or £6.99 is charged depending on the size of the items ordered

| How much will shipping be on my order? |
To find out how much shipping will be, as a guide you can use the table below, but to accurately calculate the shipping you will be charged you need to add all the items you want to purchase to your shopping basket. On the page listing all the items you want to purchase (your shopping cart page) below the list of items you will see a shipping calculation table, you can use this to select your country and find out how much delivery will be. Don't forget that our prices are in GBP, so if you live outside the UK you can change your currency on the web site to your local currency
