Metrocycles.com.au takes your privacy very seriously. Check our Privacy Policy for further details.

All Personal Information submitted on Metrocycles.com.au is secured using the latest Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) premium encryption technology.

Credit card payments are processed through eWay; Metrocycles.com.au does not store any of your credit card or financial information on our servers, therefore ensuring the highest level of protection for you.

We collect information from buyers on our site during online purchasing, to enable a faster and more streamlined purchasing experience. The personal information we collect will typically be used to assist Metro Cycles in fulfilling your order as quickly as possible, as well as offer you special promotional offers and exciting product opportunities from time to time.

Payment & Shipping
All purchases must be paid in full prior to shipping and we reserve the right to cancel any orders in the event we suspect the payment method to be fraudulent.

To protect credit card holders from fraud we use state of the art fraud prevention systems. If your selected payment type triggers one of these systems it may put your order on hold and instigate a verification system to confirm the validity of your order. As part of these systems we may make a small charge to the credit card used to pay for your order, which is immediately refunded. We will then ask you to supply details of this transaction to verify you are the true card account holder.

When paying via Bank Deposit use your “Order Number” or “Your Name” as the deposit identifier. Putting the name of a purchased item or terms such as “Order Payment” or “Tyres” may cause your order to be delayed until we can match the funds to your order. If a Bank Deposit payment is not received into our account within 5 business days the order will be cancelled.

By purchasing from Metrocycles.com.au you are entering into a contract and may not rescind payment via PayPal or Credit Card charge back in the event of late or damaged delivery.

While we make every effort to deliver all items to you quickly we are not responsible for delays caused by Australia Post or other couriers we may use.

Some products we offer for sale may be pre-order items or items that are not immediately available from our supplier. We supply an estimated dispatch date and will generally inform you of excessive delays but are not liable for any direct or indirect damages caused by any delay.

At the discretion of Metro Cycles, laybys of up to three months may be approved for in-store purchase of bikes or products >$500 with Terms and Conditions to be agreed at the time of purchase. Where no agreement is provided, our standard Terms and Conditions will apply.

Shipping Charges

The shipping charges calculated in our shopping cart are based on rates that cover 94% of the Australian population. In the instance that your delivery address is a location that is designated as ‘remote’ by our shipping provider, we reserve the right to append a ‘Remote Shipping Surcharge’ to your order. We will always contact you prior to shipping your order to discuss any additional charges prior to shipping your order.

Stock Availability
Some of the items we sell may be available in very limited quantity. While we endeavour to ensure items are in stock at the time of advertising there may be occasions when an item has sold out. In the event that an item (either promotional or regular stock) has sold out we may, at our total discretion, offer a refund, offer to source the product, offer a substitute product, or take other corrective action.
