About Trialshop.pl

At Trialshop.pl we ship worldwide on all stocked products. Below you’ll find the key information for deliveries to the United Kingdom.

We usually dispatch within one working day of payment (weekends and bank holidays excluded). We aim to keep this pace across the range—from small parts to complete bikes that require assembly and preparation. On rare occasions dispatch may slip by one additional day.

OVERVIEW

The minimum order value is £160. This is due to UK tax rules for consignments under £135, which make export handling impractical for businesses like ours. We include a £25 buffer to cover unforeseen exchange-rate movements.

Orders shipped to the UK are sold VAT-free. Depending on your IP address you may already see VAT-free prices, but to be certain please create an account and add a delivery address so the correct taxes (or lack thereof) are shown. An “including taxes” label may still appear beside a net price—this simply means there are no extra taxes to pay at checkout.

TAXES AND DUTY

In short: you don’t pay VAT at checkout. When your parcel reaches the UK, the courier handles customs clearance and will ask you to pay any UK import charges. For most orders this is simply 20% VAT. Complete bikes made in the EU are normally duty-free (so VAT only).

Prices in our shop are shown without Polish VAT (23%). Because UK VAT is 20%, the price you see is roughly 3% lower than an EU customer would pay; UK VAT is then collected on import.

How it works: the carrier (UPS/GLS/FedEx) will text or email you a secure link to pay any charges. Once paid, delivery continues automatically. There are no extra fees from us.

Duty: components can attract a small duty if they originate outside the EU/UK (e.g. China or Taiwan). Rates vary by product code (HS code). Bikes that meet rules of origin are typically 0% duty. You can check a specific item here: https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff.

COSTS AND DELIVERY TIME

We ship to the UK using UPS, GLS or FedEx. Availability depends on the size and weight of the shipment; sometimes more than one option will be offered. Estimated delivery time is 5–7 working days, with minor variation possible due to customs processing. We currently don’t provide a manual choice between Express and Economy services; where the price difference is negligible, we’ll use the faster service.

We may change the selected carrier if service availability requires it. No additional charges will be applied.

Typical shipping costs: from £18 for small items up to about £80 for complete bikes.
