Ordering Goods

By placing an order via our website (www.hopkinsoncycles.com / www.hopkinsoncycles.co.uk) you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price.
Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it. If you need to correct any errors you can do so before submitting it.

When you place an order at the end of the check-out process , we will send you an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order. This email is an order acknowledgement and does not mean that we accept your order. We may reject your order for the following reasons:

  • the goods are out of stock or unavailable;
  • we cannot authorise your payment;
  • we reasonably believe that your order contravenes our Fair Purchase Policy (set out below);
  • we are not allowed to sell the goods to you;
  • you are not allowed to buy the goods from us; or
  • there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods.

A contract between us for the purchase of the goods will be formed when your payment has been approved, the prices have been verified, and the order has been processed and dispatched. A second email will be sent confirming these arrangements and you will not have ownership of the goods until they have been dispatched.

In order to contract with Hopkinson’s Cycles you must be over 18 years of age. Hopkinson Cycles retains the right to refuse any request made by you.

Delivery

We use Royal Mail or trusted third party logistics providers to deliver our goods to the UK. If you want to see your delivery options, please visit our Delivery Information page before you place your order.

Dispatch times may vary according to availability and any guarantees or representations made as to delivery times are subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or other occurrences beyond our control for which we will not be responsible. Please see our shipping information page for further information.
If there is a delay in dispatching the goods we will inform you of this via email and the goods will be dispatched as soon as available.

Occasionally we find ourselves having to withdraw an item because it has become obsolete or has been discontinued. If you have placed an order for an item that has been made obsolete we will inform you as soon as possible and offer you an alternative if one is available, or a full refund.

Delivery of the goods will occur when we deliver them to the address you provide us with when you make your order. You are responsible for the goods when delivery has taken place.

We may need to deliver your goods in separate instalments. If that is the case we will let you know in advance.

If your delivery address is in the Scottish Highlands & Islands, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland, delivery times may be extended depending on the exact location.

Deliveries cannot be made to PO Box addresses. We strongly advise against deliveries to be made to hotels or third party couriers. Any orders made, to be sent to a hotel or a third party courier, are entirely at your own risk once delivery has been made by our logistics provider.

Pricing and Availability

Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel the order and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
