Special Orders

How our Special Orders Can Help You

As a small business we can’t stock everything, we neither have the finance nor the space to do so. Our Special Orders service can order in products that may not be stocked normally on our shelves. From replacement parts to helmets in specific colours and sizes, you can use our special orders system to help you achieve your project.

If you can’t find the product online, we also have a dedicated Special Orders Request system that can help track down the product or part you need and order it for you.

Special Orders, backorders and preorders

You may notice sometimes the words “backorders” and “preorders” being used – for example on an invoice. For the purposes of our site, we consider them one and the same as a “special order”.

How our Special Orders System Works

Special Order products can be found and purchased online through the Mr Cycling World website only.

Frequently Asked Questions

You will know if a product is a Special Order if you see the Special Orders information on the product page.

This information is then repeated and may be seen in the checkout system prior to payment, at the order confirmation page after payment, in the order confirmation email and in the tax invoice included inside the parcel at delivery.

Special Orders are not stocked in our warehouse in Adelaide, they are stocked with our Australian-wide supply channels. After you have placed your order you need to allow time for us to order the product for you, for the supplier to process it and ship it, for us to receive it, process it and ship it to you. All of that takes time.
