TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS,

Due to COVID-related Bicycle Industry-wide shortages, items that are not currently IN STOCK in our physical store (Mello Velo Bicycle Shop) may take up to 4 weeks to arrive from our supplier Warehouses for in-store pick-up or for shipping.

We are working diligently with our suppliers at our fulfillment centers, but they are experiencing record order numbers and there may be a discrepancy with their inventory counts which cause delays in processing and shipping your order. We apologize in advance for any delay. Your satisfaction is important to us, and please know that we are making every effort to ship your package as soon as possible.

We will update your Customer Account with any status changes, and we will email you when your order is ready to be picked-up in-store, or with tracking information when your order has been shipped. The maximum anticipated delay is 30 days from your order date.

If you wish to find a suitable replacement item that is in-stock in our physical store, or if you have any questions or prefer to cancel your order, please call us at (315) 307-3104.

Thank you!

We sometimes use other companies (third-party service providers) to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders and delivering packages. They need access to some personal information in order to perform their duties but may not use this information for other purposes.
