If you change your mind on your purchase from the Specialized online store you may return most products (see below) to us in the manner specified in this policy within 7 days from the delivery date. Apparel items can be returned within 30 days from the delivery date.
All returns are subject to review by our staff. We do stand behind our returns policy and want to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase, but we do reserve our right to determine whether the item is an apparel item and refuse a return if we determine at our discretion that does not fulfil any of the requirements herein or the policy is being abused.
Please note the following conditions:

- Proof of purchase and delivery from the Specialized online store is required for all returns and must accompany the product being returned.
- Products purchased on the Specialized online store can only be returned direct after you have contacted our Rider Care. Online store products cannot be returned to a retailer that stocks Specialized products.
- Specific warranty terms may apply to technical products.
We do not accept the return of products under our change-of-mind policy that are:
- Water bottles;
- Cycling tights, bibs, underwear, socks, cloth with padding that have been used and/or unboxed.
Within the below conditions, we have the right to reject your return request:
- If the order you made has already exceeded 7 days (Apparel items: exceeded 30 days) after receiving it.

Can I return a product to a store that stocks Specialized products?
Unfortunately, no you cannot return products purchased from our online store to a retail store that stocks Specialized products. Goods purchased from the Specialized online store can only be returned directly to Specialized. Physical retail stores, being independent, cannot accept or process web store returns.
Can I exchange a product? I bought the wrong size, can I change the product to another size?
Unfortunately, we do not exchange products. If you wish to exchange a product or if you have bought the wrong size, you will need to return your purchase for a refund and then place a new order.
I have received a damaged product. What do I do?
If you received your product in a damaged condition, please contact Rider Care.
How do I start a return?
To initiate a return for an online purchase, contact Rider Care.
Will you refund my shipping costs if I return my order?
If you placed an order with free shipping, we will refund the order amount to you. If you placed an order with an extra shipping cost, we will refund you the order amount and shipping cost. After Rider Care has accepted the return request, we will contact the logistics company to pick up the goods from you. Therefore, you do not have to cover the shipping expense when you return the order.
When will I get my refund?
Your refund will be processed as soon as the product you have returned is inspected by our Rider Care team and it is confirmed that it fits within our Returns Policy. This quality check can take up to 1 week from receipt, however we endeavour it to be less. Once the return has been approved, we will process refund to your payment services provider (for example your credit card issuer). In addition, Specialized will process adjustment on electric invoices from our system directly without your consent.
(Please note that the time taken for a payment services provider to provide you with your refund can vary depending upon the provider).
