Policies and Shipping

Online Shopping Policies

Order Status

The easiest way to check the status of your order is to contact us by phone or email. Our phone number is 413-528-5555 ext 4 - please leave a message and we will return your call promptly and our order support email is jelling@berkshirebikeandboard.com .  You will also receive emails that will keep you up to date on the status of your order. These emails will be sent to the email address provided during checkout.  Please note that update notifications will typically take a few minutes to process after your order is received.  

Here is a quick guide to explain the most common order statuses:  

Submitted – Your order has been successfully placed and is on its way to being processed.  

Processing – We are assembling your order and packaging it for shipment.  

Shipped – The carrier has picked up the package and is in route to delivery. 

Sales Tax

Berkshire Bike and Board collects sales tax (if any) on orders based on the shipping address. You will be notified of the initial estimated sales tax amount during checking out. However, depending on the date shipped, and other applicable laws, you may ultimately be charged a different sales tax amount than the initial estimated sales tax amount, in which event your initial estimated charges will be adjusted to reflect the updated sales tax amount.

Cancellations

Customer Cancellations

If you wish to cancel an order that has not been processed yet, then please contact our online order department at 413-528-5555 ext 4 - please leave a message and we will return your call promptly. If your order has not been processed, then a customer service representative may cancel it for you, in which event we will send you an email confirmation and any charge associated with the canceled order will be dropped. Please note that our goal is to process and ship all orders as quickly as possible. Thus, your available time to cancel an order may be limited.

Our Cancellations

If an issue results in our failure to fulfill your complete order, then we may cancel the order. Such issues may include, but are not limited to, complications with item availability, limitations on quantity, payment processing, or pricing errors. If an issue like this does occur and your order is canceled, then we will send you an email notification or call you at the phone number provided, and any charge associated with the canceled order will be dropped. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any items purchased.

Shipping

Shipping Timeline

Items listed as "In Stock" are typically expected to ship within 1 business days (not including weekends or holidays) of processing your order if order is submitted before 11am. Thus, weekends, holidays, special promotions, and other factors may delay shipment of some orders. Please note that currently, shipping carriers are reporting that they are operating beyond their planned capacity, which may result in delays for pickups and deliveries.

Shipping Internationally

We do not ship to international addresses, international freight forwarders, APO, FPO, or territories.

Shopping & Online Products

Pricing

Berkshire Bike and Board is dedicated to offering you the best prices for quality bicycles and cycling gear, and other products. These prices may vary in our online and retail stores and are subject to change without notice. While our goal is to prevent any error in posted product and pricing information, these errors may still occur. In the event of such an error, Berkshire Bike and Board reserves the right to cancel any order containing these errors at its sole discretion. If your order is canceled, then we will send you an email to the email address that you provided at checkout. Items in your shopping cart reflect the current price displayed on the item's product details page. Please note: This price may differ from the price displayed when the item was first placed in your shopping cart. If an item you have purchased is reduced in price within 30 days of your order date, we will happily adjust the sale price for you upon your request. Please note that we can only make one sale adjustment per item and such adjustment cannot be combined with other offers not in effect at the time of adjustment.

Inventory Status

Because our store inventory is always changing, the stock status information is approximate and an item's availability cannot be guaranteed. To verify availability, please call the store and reference the product title and price.

Items which display an “Add to Cart” button after choosing a color and size combination are available in stock and available for purchase online at that time, according to our records.
