There is a problem with my shipment, what should I do?
Please contact customer service 1-877-577-0600.
When will my order ship?
Most items ship within two days of receiving your order but may take up to 2 weeks (or 14 business days). All orders ship UPS ground unless otherwise specified at time of purchase.
Timing of billing
Your credit card will only be charged once your order has shipped.
Do I have to pay sales tax?
Unless otherwise noted, items sold by Shimano North America Holdings are subject to sales and use tax in accordance with the applicable laws of state and local jurisdictions.
For the jurisdictions imposing sale and use taxes, your purchase is subject to such taxes unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. You may be required to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all of the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.
Accepted forms of payment
We accept the following major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard and American Express
Has my order shipped?
You will receive a shipping confirmation notice via email when your order has been received. Please make sure that both your email and shipping addresses are accurate and you are present to receive your product. Shimano cannot not ship to PO Boxes or APO's. Shimano is not responsible for lost or stolen packages. Deliveries may take up to 2 weeks (or 14 business days) but generally ship much sooner.
When will my order be delivered?
Your order will be delivered in 5 -10 business days.
What happens when my order is delivered?
Shimano does not require a signature to release packages. Please be present to receive the goods. We recommend shipping to a place of business if you will not be home to receive delivery.
Does this program allow for backorders?
No. Customers can request to be notified when an item is back in stock via email. They will have to decide at that time if they want to purchase some items now or order all items at a later date once everything is available.
What if my credit card is not approved for the purchase?
If your credit card is not approved, you will be unable to complete your order at this time. You will still be able to use your access code at a future date.
