If you are outside the USA, you MUST go through an authorized Kuwahara bike shop in your country. While our website will allow you to add this bike to your shopping cart, we CANNOT process any Kuwahara bike orders leaving the USA. If you are an overseas customer, and you pay for a Kuwahara Bike order, we will assume that you will be vacationing in our area, and will hold the bike for 30 days for local pick-up.
IMPORTANT: To ensure that every component on your bicycle is working properly, PlanetBMX recommends that all Kuwahara bicycles be assembled by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Improper assembly of your bicycle may lead to premature wear or failure of individual components. Failure to do so may void the manufacturer warranty.
We at PlanetBMX take what we do very seriously! And we want you to know that we'll do everything that we can to make sure that you are extremely happy with your bike purchase from us! NOBODY in the business will pack up a bike better than us! Most shops that offer shipping on a complete bike will just slap a shipping label on a complete bike box, and cross their fingers that it arrives safe! We KNOW that the shipping companies are very rough with handling packages, so we will open, and repack each and every bike that we sell! We'll add the proper amount of packing material to make the box pretty much bulletproof! Nobody likes getting a damaged brand new bike, and we'll spend that extra time to ensure that your bike arrives safe and sound!
