At Cheap Helmet Ride Store, we want you to be completely satisfied with your cycling gear. If for any reason you’re not happy with your purchase, we offer a straightforward returns and exchanges process.

Our Returns Policy

You may return most items within 15 days of receiving your order for a refund or exchange. To be eligible for a return:

  • The item must be unused and in the same condition as when you received it
  • The item must be in its original packaging with all tags attached
  • You must provide proof of purchase (order number or receipt)

Important: For safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on bike helmets and body armour unless they are defective or damaged upon arrival. These items must meet safety standards and cannot be resold once they’ve left our warehouse.

How to Initiate a Return or Exchange

  1. Contact us within 15 days of receiving your order by emailing [email protected] with your return request. Use our template below to ensure we have all necessary information.

  3. Package the item securely in its original packaging and include all accessories.
  4. Ship the item back to us at the address provided, including the RMA number clearly on the package.
  5. Once we receive and inspect your return, we’ll process your refund or ship your exchange.

Return Shipping

Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to our error (wrong item shipped or defective product). We recommend using a trackable shipping service as we cannot be responsible for items lost in transit.

  • Refunds will be processed to your original payment method
  • Credit card refunds typically appear within 5-10 business days (depending on your bank)
