Can someone help me with a simple question about ordering from Bike inn .Reading their terms and conditions just made little sense to this person.. if im ordering over £170 im I subject to import duties or is it included in their pricing ?
cheers
Pretty sure with all the inn brands the price you pay includes all vat and import needed.
when I've ordered in the past the bikeinn price has included all duties. I think they have a UK distribution arm so anything you order is shipped to there by the company and then on to you as if you'd bought from the UK.

Nothing extra to pay. Use it loads.
Yeah I put a large order in recently, it's now with me, no extras to pay
Perfect thanks 🙂
Just before I hit the buy button after trashing my XX1 AXS rear mech has anyone been charged extra VAT and import duty once the parts are delivered or are they using a UK distribution centre and the price you see is all you pay.
Which option are people choosing for delivery as Royal Mail are by far the cheapest
I bought a SID ultimate from them a month back and the price quoted was the price paid. No additional VAT or charges. £500+
They use UK distribution centres. Nothing extra to pay.

Before you hit buy... unless you need one of those new fangled direct mount mechs, maybe go for the GX mech and a Ratio or Garbaruk cage to be within 10g and save £200 (both XX1 and GX prices from BikeInn)
Ive looked at the options available including the Garbaruk cage and cant see much saving between a new GX and the Garbaruk cage and an X01. Just deciding on which mech to buy but it wont be an XX1 which came with the bike.
Im a bit disappointed I cant just buy the part as its only the carbon cage part which has snapped at the jockey wheel. I thought I may be able to swap it for one of an Eagle mech but I'm told it cant be done
The Garbaruk and Ratio cages come as a complete set inner and outer so that is by far the cheapest solution. No mech needed.
These cages fit all SRAM AXS 12 speed mechs so I am not sure what SRAM are on about with a GX not fitting. They don't seem to sell the outer cage though so that seems correct but doesn't stop you buying an aftermarket one.
I went with the Ratio Components version in GX as they also include new jockey wheels in the price. Took less than a minute to fit.

Thanks, is it just a bolt off bolt on job where it goes into the mech body ot is there any tech stuff to do. If it works then it may well be the answer as the rest of the mech seems ok
Super easy. You may just want to double check the general mech setup (I think I just did a bit of micro-adjust) but you'd have to do that with a new mech anyway.
Looks good. Will drop them an email with a view to ordering one. You may have just made my weekend 👍🍹
Hopefully that is a good few hundred pounds saved an a UK business supported 🙂 I found them very helpful as I had a lot of questions before ordering and always got a quick reply. Happy Trails!
Has anyone bought a bike from BikeInn?
I think I want a specialized chisel and they are about £400 cheaper from them.
No one seems to pay import duties and I assume it’s the same on bikes as well as components?
Any more recent experiences with BikeInn and import duty etc?
Yep. Set of XM 1700 wheels last month. £440. No additional charges.
Get it done. 👍
PS. Kudos for doing a search.
Yep used them twice recently, all good, no extras to pay. They just take a little longer than others to deliver.
