Save money in Switzerland buying bike parts from the UK
Are you currently trying to decide whether it’s better to fix your bike with replacement parts or simply buy a new one? If you are a keen cyclist who has spent a significant amount of money on a high-end bike from the likes of Specialized and other market leading brands, it will always work out more cost effective to buy replacement parts.
Having said this, if you are living in Switzerland, you’ve probably found the prices for Specialized bike parts and other high-end bike replacements to be fairly steep. If this is the case, you will be much better off saving your money by purchasing bike parts from the UK.
Why the UK?
Being one of the most famous cycling brands in the world and with models favoured by professional road cyclists and mountain bikers, it’ll come as no surprise that Specialized bikes and bike parts are not cheap. Their bikes can cost hundreds and even thousands of pounds (depending on the model) and their bike parts are pretty pricey too. However, if you are an avid cyclist, it’s a small price to pay for a quality bike that you will have the pleasure of using day in day out.
If you are looking for a cheaper way to purchase bike parts from Specialized and other high-end bike brands, we highly recommend checking out UK websites. After doing a little research we found that UK sites are selling Specialized bike parts and bicycles around three times cheaper than in Switzerland and other parts of the world. So if you want to grab a bargain, UK bike websites are the place to go.
How to order from the UK
Although there are big savings to be made by ordering bike parts from the UK, you are probably wondering just how much it is going to cost you to ship them to Switzerland or even if UK website’s offer international shipping. Whilst some companies only ship to the UK or charge expensive shipping fees for international delivery, there is a way to get round it and the way to do it is by using a parcel forwarding service.
Sign up with a parcel forwarding company and they will give you a UK address that you can use as your own, when ordering bike parts online. You’ll then pay the UK delivery price, rather than the international shipping cost (which will be much cheaper) and your items will be sent to the parcel forwarding company’s depot.
From there, they will arrange to deliver the items to your home address in Switzerland, using a trusted international courier. The benefit to you is much cheaper delivery costs! Seeing as they ship out hundreds and thousands of parcels every day, they’ll benefit from huge discounts, which they will pass onto you, the customer.
