Shipping Options

Due to recent issues with our current International shipper of choice USPS, we have made a decision to migrate standard international shipping to UPS.

This move is not being taken lightly and it was only after much deliberation, long meetings with the nice folks from UPS and their counterparts at FEDEX that we finally decided what was needed.

Basically USPS Global Priority is fine as long as the item is relatively small and medium value, but for wheels, frames, bikes, their service is just not robust or reliable enough.

Having gone through two fairly lengthy disputes recently trying to locate lost goods, we came to the conclusion that it is time to go with a more professional company who can deliver the same customer service goals we aim for.

There is now good and bad news.

The immediate effect will be our international shipping rates will go up, we are working with UPS to achieve the best possible discounts, all of which will be passed on to you the customer and in time we hope to see rates reduce.

The upside of the change is a reliable, speedy, efficient service where the company carrying our products will stand by their promise to deliver on time and intact. With world class delivery also comes world class features like real time tracking, expedited services, and comprehensive insurance cover that is both affordable and when required easy to claim against.

As they say you get what you pay for, and this is certainly true with shipping to the far reaches of the globe.

We will still stand by our customers requests for low cost shipping via USPS if that is the path you wish to take, however our standard offer will now be the UPS Expedited Service


If you have any comments or ideas with regard shipping experiences, please let me know

Deal Of The Week

Because the warehouse is so full, and I can't get to the back door, its time for some more Unreal Deals.

Going forward on Fridays we will announce the deal of the week, for the following 7 days.

Each week a new deal that either discounts or bundles product into packages too good to pass up.

To get the ball rolling, this weeks Unreal Deal is a Planet X SL Team frame/Fork kit for $50 when you purchase either a SRAM RED or Force 8 piece group.

How do we do it you ask, we didn't feed Sprocket for two days !

The On One ship has landed

The ship has landed! See if you can pick out which container says "On-One" on the back of it...

Unreal Logo

Our latest shipment landed yesterday containing the latest from On One. All sizes and new colors are now available.

Don't wait to get your hands On One (pun blatantly intended) because some sizes and colors almost sold out with pre orders alone.

The new citrus colors look great! Take a look on the site under On One and see for yourself.


Click on the picture of the boat to be taken to the On One selection and get your orders in now before they're gone. If you'd like to talk to one of our staff before pulling the trigger the number is 800-303-2927.

Cheers!

Folsom Rodeo Cross

Unreal Cycles at the Rodeo. (Folsom Rodeo Cross)














This past weekend Unreal Cycles assisted in throwing the Folsom Rodeo Cross CX event in Northern California.

Thanks to our woman on the ground Asa the pictures look like everyone had a great time!

If you've got a Facebook account click here to see the pictures.

Ace Christmas

Last of the Christmas posts and we're moving on...

Asa sent us the following from her stack of Christmas loot.



I did manage to build myself an early Christmas present which should keep me happy for a while!









Got some sweet pink Doc Marten's and new riding shades from George.






For her trouble we sent her a very late Unreal Christmas gift.

Look out for Asa on a Northern California trail near you. She's hard to miss with all the pink accessories and who knows what color her hair is this week... I'll have to ask.

Acadian Christmas

The Acadian sent us some shots of what he got for Christmas this year.

He did admit that all of this gifts were from him to him and that Santa had not paid him a visit this year... after looking at how he made out I might request the Acadian comes down my chimney next year!






Parts for his new DH bike.








Pushed valved air shock for his Orange Alpine 160 as well a needle bearing shock eyelet kit from Real World Cycles.



The Acadian has also promised to write me a full report on his journey to find the perfect shock for his Alpine 160. Look out for that soon....

For his efforts we sent him a late Christmas gift. Send us your shots to info@unrealcycles.com and see what comes your way.
