Returns are only accepted within 45 days of when you placed your order.
Most manufacturers like to process warranties directly or at your local dealer. If you contact us, we can help you to file a claim directly with the manufacturer, or help you find a local dealer. If you don’t have a local dealer, The Lost Co can certainly process a warranty claim. Processing a warranty through us will be slower since we will need to get the product back to our store before we can start the process. The Lost Co does not ship out replacement parts until a warranty has been finalized by the manufacturer. Attached is a list of manufacturer warranty pages for brands that we carry.
If you are purchasing things you wear, please try it on and wear it around the house, but please leave the tags on until you are positive you want to keep it.
If you are not sure if your mounting hardware or dropper post will fit you or your bike, please reach out to us and we will make sure you get the right fit the first time. If you mount either of these on your bike and then decide to return it, the item may not be accepted or it may be subject to a restocking fee*.
Certain service items such as spokes and nipples are not eligible for return. Please be sure to measure twice prior to placing your order! Need help? Give us a call at (360) 306-8827 or shoot an email to sales@thelostco.com
If the coil has been installed on the shock, we may not be able to accept it as a return or it may be subject to a restocking fee*. Before purchasing your coil, we can help you ensure you find the right one for you and your bike. Please watch this video here as we go into detail on how to choose the correct one. If you still have questions, please contact us.
We do not accept returns on our custom built wheels, or any other part that we have modified to fit your specific needs. This includes rear shocks that we have customized the stroke, forks with customized travel or other modifications, etc.
We do not currently offer exchanges. If you would like to exchange an item, please begin the return process for the item(s) you no longer need. You may then place a new order for the correct item. This way, the item that you want is shipped out immediately without having to wait for an exchange to process.Any corresponding refund will be issued once we receive the returned item.
A refund will be processed after your return has been received and inspected to ensure it is in new condition. You'll be notified when the refund has been processed on our end. It may then take 3-5 business days for your bank to process the refund and reflect it on your bank account. If you know we have received your return, and you have not received a notification, please reach out to us.
The Lost Co is unable to process refunds or exchanges for international orders. Refunds and exchanges are effected by shipping costs, duties and taxes resulting in a sub-par and experience. For these reasons all international sales are final.
Items that have been mounted on your bike, even if they have not been ridden, will be subject to a restocking fee. Even just mounting a shock, coil spring, dropper post, etc will leave signs of use, even if it has not been ridden. In this case, we won't be able to sell it as new. In some cases where an item has been returned to us with extensive damage or use we may not be able to refund any of the original purchase price.
We ship out orders as fast as we possibly can, and from the time you place your order to the time you receive a tracking number, we're hard at work getting your order together!
Once your order has been shipped, it cannot be altered. You may request to return your order within 45 days.
Most orders placed Monday-Friday will ship out within one business day. Orders placed before 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time are usually shipped out the same day. If you placed an order on Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, it will be shipped out on the next business day because shipping carriers do not pick up packages on weekends or holidays.
Orders that require going through our service department (custom travel changes, etc) may ship in 1-3 business days since they have to enter our service department queue. If you are worried about not receiving your order in time, please reach out to us for current timelines.
If you’ve selected an express shipping service from FedEx or UPS, standard delivery days are M-F. If you need an item delivered on the weekend you must select Saturday Delivery. For example, if you select FedEx 2Day shipping on Thursday before 12:00 p.m. PT, it won’t be delivered until Monday.
We do our best to finish wheel builds on a similar timeline to other custom services. However, due to high demand and the intensity of labor, please give your order to take 1 to 3 weeks to complete. If you're working on a specific timeline or want an accurate ETA please contact us.
Every once in a while this email goes spam. We suggest checking your spam folder first. If you’re unable to find it there, your email address may have been spelled incorrectly or the email was never sent. Whatever the case may be, please contact us and we will manually send you the confirmation email.
Your order may not have shipped yet. Tracking notifications are sent as your order has been boxed up. There’s also a chance that the tracking information email ended up in your spam folder. Still can’t find the tracking information? Please reach out to us and we will send you a tracking number or help you figure out what is going on.
If you are unable to locate your order that has been scanned as delivered, you must contact The Lost Co within 3 days of the delivery scan. We will reach out to your local shipping facility to begin the process of locating your order. If you don't contact us within 3 days of the delivery scan, we are unable to coordinate with your local shipping facility and you will need to contact them directly.

We offer free shipping on orders over $49, this does not apply to oversized items such as: complete bikes, frames and wheels. Our free shipping service is only applicable for orders being shipped within the continental USA (This excludes Alaska, Hawaii, and the US Territories).
When free shipping is selected we will ship your order with the carrier of our choosing who will deliver your order within 2-6 business days. If you have special shipping instructions or requirements, please reach out to us before placing your order to arrange those.
Shipping carriers are in the peak season from Mid-October until after the New Year, which may result in shipping delays. If your order doesn't have a scan everyday don't worry, it is on the way. There might be a delay, but your order hasn't been lost. Keep an eye on the tracking page for the most up-to-date information or you can also sign up for email updates.

*We reserve the right to modify shipping expenses in special circumstances. We reserve the right to deny and refund an order if you are outside of our general shipping area for free shipping
Yes, you can! We offer affordable international shipping rates for orders going all over the world. We recommend selecting FedEx International Economy for quick shipping at a reasonable rate. Just punch in your shipping address at checkout and you will see the shipping options we offer. However, some brands do not allow their products to be shipped internationally. If this is the case, there will be a note on the product page.
Unfortunately, due to our dealer agreements there are a select few brands that we cannot ship outside of the USA. These include, but are not limited to: Fox, Marzocchi, RockShox, and SRAM. We cannot make exceptions.
Duties and taxes are not prepaid and are the responsibility of the customer if applicable. We use the proper tariff codes to make most components duty-free, but we can not guarantee any final duties and fees implemented by your country's import process. There is nothing we can do about those laws. We will not change invoice pricing or send parts as a "gift", no matter the situation. This is against the law.
In short, mounting hardware are bushings to fit your shock in your bike. If your new shock is the same brand that is currently on your bike, you can simply reuse your old hardware so long as it is not damaged. Otherwise, you will need new hardware. To find your shocks specs, please check out our database of mounting hardware. If you cannot find your bike's specs in that database, please check out this YouTube video for detailed instructions on what to do next.
Not all fork travels are offered directly from Fox or Marzocchi. Our factory-trained technicians can build you the fork you need for your bike by simply installing a new air shaft assembly to adjust the fork to your desired travel. This is the same procedure done by the manufacturer at the factory and we offer it free of charge on most forks.
There is no physical difference between the upper and lower components of a 180mm and 140mm fork of the same model other than a different length air-shaft. We only offer sizes that are approved by the manufacturer.
When we swap out the air shafts, we always put fresh lubricants and oil into your fork per the factory specifications, ensuring your fork will work in tip-top shape when it arrives. Performing this adjustment will not affect your factory warranty in any way.
Manufacturing and supply chains have been inconsistent over the last two years. We are unable to accurately provide ETAs for out of stock products at this time. If you would like to be alerted when the item re enters our inventory, please sign up for a stock notification email.
We do not take pre-orders on any items unless otherwise stated on the specific product’s page. If you would like to be alerted when the item re-enters our inventory, please sign up for an in stock notification email.
We offer the best possible prices for all of the products in our inventory while keeping in accordance with dealer agreements. We will never up-charge or price-gouge products for any reason.
If you've found a product that is in stock and cheaper elsewhere, please feel free to reach out to us to request a price match.
