1.4) Hand Delivery- We offer a hand delivery and pick up service to a selection of areas around Kingston upon thames. When you input your Delivery address into the checkout it will automatically work out whether you are eligible for hand delivery. It will appear below your basket. If you have put in your address and cannot see any option for hand delivery then this means that you do not qualify for hand delivery. If you do not qualify for delivery then you will need to come and collect the bike box from us and then return it when your rental has finished. If the website has allowed hand delivery to a location that we do not deliver to then we hold the right to cancel the order and refund the customer.
1.5) Delivery address-Please make sure that you have supplied the correct address for hand delivery. If the address supplied is incorrect and the member of staff arrives at the wrong location due to the wrong address having been supplied, then Bike Box Rental takes no responsibility for the bike box being undelivered.

If you are taller than this then please contact us before booking a bike box to check if your bike will fit into one of our bike boxes. We will not be held responsible if your bike does not fit into the bike box, If the customer is unable to fit their bike into the box and they contact us within 24 hours of their rental commencing then we will refund the cost of their hire charge (minus any delivery charges if home delivery is chosen).
