Frequently asked Questions

Does my bike need to be cleaned before part exchange collection?
 Yes, we expect the bike or product to be clean before it arrives with us. If a bike arrives that is too dirty to work on this may incur a cleaning surcharge.
Will you price and accept any bike?
If you are looking to trade in then Planet X-Change can price and accept most bikes, however we reserve the right to refuse any bike at any stage of the exchange process. We base all our pricing on the age and specification of a bike and how much you can currently buy it for online.

If you are looking to sell a bike to us as a general guide we're only likely to price bikes from popular brands that originally retailed at more than £1000 and are less than 5 years old.

*We do not currently accept eBikes, Tandems, Folding Bikes (except brompton) or Recumbent Bikes.
How do you price the bikes for sale?
Planet X-change considers the following factors before making an offer for a bike:  

  • Price of the bike when new
  • Age and model year
  • Condition of bike and usage

Components with any wear and tear will be factored into the price. Planet X-Change analyses prices from all online marketplaces, retailers, shops, and direct distributors for the most up-to-date pricing.

All quotes are subject to an assessment by our mechanics.
Does my bike have to be in perfect condition to get a quote?
No, as long as you describe every defect we can still price the bike for you, as long as we can make the bike rideable. However, If the cost to make the bike rideable is deemed to be excessive, the bike may be rejected for exchange. 
Is the quoted price guaranteed?
No. We need to check the bike is operational and that the details provided to us match the bike when we inspect it. Any defects not described will need to be reflected in the final price as will the cost of replacing worn parts. If the bike presented is not as described in the original quote, it will need to be re-priced accordingly.

The preliminary and final offers will be valid for 7 days only.
Can I use the part exchange credit to purchase other items than bikes?
Yes. You can use the value of the bike to purchase any item at planetx.co.uk
Can I change my mind once the final offer has been accepted?
No, Once the final offer has been accepted and the gift card has been issued the bike becomes property of Planet X and the X-Change is effectively complete. 
How is my Bike delivered to Planet X?
Planet X will arrange collection of your bike using a reputable courier service, collection is available Monday-Friday. Please note that you will be required to print a shipping label for the courier prior to collection.

Please ensure that the bike is adequately packaged - Planet X will supply a box and some materials to assist with this but as every bike is different you may want to add extra protection. Please also note that Planet X is not liable for any damage that occurs in transit.
