Delivery and Returns Policy

1. .1. Delivery Policy

Summit Bikes delivers free of charge for order over R1500 within South Africa, door-to-door or door-to-counter, depending on where you’re located. If you reside outside of a main centre but would like door to door delivery – you can select that delivery option for a R150 - 200 delivery fee. 

During the checkout process, Summit Bikes will determine your delivery options based on your delivery address and postal code. For South African orders, irrespective of whether you select door to door delivery, or door to counter delivery, Summit Bikes will deliver within 2 – 6 working days depending on where you live. For deliveries to Namibia, Summit Bikes aims to have your package to you within 10 working days. 

Should you have any queries regarding your delivery options, please call our customer support agents on 0861 999 501 or email:  info@summitbikes.co.za.
