When something goes wrong with an order, most sellers do their best to fix things for you. Sometimes though, they aren’t able to resolve your issue or you can’t come to an agreement with them. When this happens, you can ask 4bike to step in and help.
When you can ask 4Bike to step in
Once you’ve let the seller know there’s an issue with your order, they have 3 business days to make things right. After that, you can ask us to step in.
However, if you and the seller are working on a solution, you don’t need to ask us to step in as soon as the 3 days are up. Most sellers want to fix problems for their buyers, so if you’re still talking, feel free to give them a bit longer to figure things out. You have up to 21 days after you start your request to ask us to step in.
