Undeliverable packages will result in a shipment being returned to the sender address. Packages requiring an address correction will incur a surcharge. Member account will be invoiced for returned shipments and address corrections. Failure to pay outstanding invoices within 30 days may result in account suspension or termination.

Signature Types

Member account will be invoiced for returned shipments. Failure to pay outstanding invoices within 30 days may result in account suspension or termination.

Ordinary Shipping Conditions

Experienced bicycle shippers understand ordinary shipping conditions and choose their packaging to safely protect their contents.

It is normal for your bike to travel hundreds or even thousands of miles over changing road surfaces in the back of a truck or in a plane’s cargo hold. This means that your bike is subject to vibrations of varying frequencies and amplitudes when driven over uneven roads or flown through turbulence. Therefore, you should always secure into place all contents within your package including the protective padding and foam.

It is also normal for carriers to place packages on their largest and most stable side so that the packages are less likely to tip over and be damaged while falling over or to damage other packages on which they could fall. Bike boxes, generally being tall and narrow, are often laid on the side with the largest surface area – much in the way that most of us would set a bike box in the back of a car while transporting it to the local carrier drop-off.

When you ship with OvernightBikes.com, you acknowledge that under ordinary shipping conditions your bike will be subject to vibration, changes in orientation, contact with other packages and possible drops from waist height.

Shipment Packaging Requirements

Bicycles, wheels and gear are unique commodities, with unusual shapes, light weights and many externally facing attachments. Thus, they require specialized packaging to withstand ordinary shipping conditions. Bike manufacturers and retailers employ packaging engineers to design packaging to safely protect bikes during shipping to their customers. By and large, they follow standard packing procedures, including using protective foam, specialized plastic bits and strapping techniques.

If you do not wish to pack your own bike, consult with your local bike shops which you can hire to professionally and properly pack your bike or gear.

When you ship with OvernightBikes.com, you acknowledge that your bike, wheels and gear are packed according to professional standards and best practices to properly protect it from damage during transit.

Insurance Protection

Neither Overnight Bikes nor FedEx® guarantees that your shipment will not be accidentally damaged or lost during transit. As such, we encourage our members to transfer associated risks to an insurance carrier of your choice through the purchase of an insurance policy. Contact an insurance agent or broker if you desire such insurance coverage.

Claims

Should your bicycle or gear be accidentally damaged or lost by the carrier, contact OvernightBikes.com (not the carrier) to begin processing your claim.

Claims must be submitted to OvernightBikes.com within seven (7) days of delivery. The customer must provide all requested documentation supporting the claim within thirty (30) business days of OvernightBikes.com receiving notice of the claim. Written documentation supporting your claim may include, but is not limited to, a description and images of damage (including the box or case), description of goods, and proof of value such as original bike purchase invoice/receipt or estimates/invoices for repair. These documents must be verifiable to OvernightBikes.com’s satisfaction.

All claims must be in writing and submitted within the time limits set forth above. Failure to provide complete, accurate and verifiable requested information within the time limits set forth above will result in denial of your claim and OvernightBikes.com will have no liability or obligation to assist in your claim to your insurance carrier.

OvernightBikes.com and its delivery partners reserve the right to inspect a damaged bicycle on the recipient’s premises as well as the right to retrieve the damaged bicycle for inspection. The terms and conditions applicable to the original delivery (including any Selected Value / actual market value) will govern the disposition of all claims in connection with the delivery, including any claim relative to the retrieval, inspection or return of the bicycle. When a bicycle is picked up for inspection, a receipt for the damaged bicycle will be provided if requested by the recipient. All of the original delivery cartons, labels, packing and contents must be made available for our inspection and retained until the claim is concluded.

Except in the case of concealed damage, receipt of the bicycle delivery by the recipient without written notice of damage on the air bill is prima facie evidence that the bicycle was delivered in good condition.

Only one claim can submitted in connection with a shipment. Acceptance of payment of a claim extinguishes any further right to file additional claims on that shipment.

The maximum Selected Value per package for any OvernightBikes.com bicycle shipment is US $100. As such, members are encouraged to purchase insurance from an insurance provider of your choice.

The customer is responsible for accurately completing the Selected Value of a shipment with OvernightBikes.com. We cannot honor requests to change the Selected Value after the shipment has been shipped.

OvernightBikes.com is not liable for the loss or damage to the following goods shipped using our services:

  • Auto parts.
  • Jewelry.
  • Electronic equipment, including, but not limited to, televisions, computer monitors, and computer processors.
  • Personal keepsakes or collectors items including, but not limited to coins, stamps, sports cards and souvenirs.

  • Stocks, bonds, cash letters or cash equivalents, including, but not limited to, food stamps, postage stamps (not collectible), traveler’s checks, lottery tickets, money orders, gift cards and gift certificates, prepaid calling cards, bond coupons, and bearer bonds.

The above items should not be shipped through OvernightBikes.com, OvernightBikes.com will have no liability or obligation for any of the foregoing and any violations of the foregoing are expressly at your own risk.

When you ship with OvernightBikes.com, you agree to be subject to this claims process. We strongly recommend that you take a complete set of detailed photos documenting the contents of your shipment and its internal and external packing before you send your shipment and after you receive it. In the event of loss or damage and subsequent claim filing and processing, such photos will help you remember what you had packed, serve as proof of proper packing and document damage details.

Refund Policy

We offer a full refund less 3% payment processing fee on membership dues up to 30 days after the purchase date for members who have not yet shipped a package. We also offer full refunds less 3% payment processing fee on unused shipments up to 30 days after the purchase date. To request a refund, email team@overnightbikes.com.
