Giant bike delivery

Finally decided to buy a TCR advanced SL however I have a problem with delivery. The only way I can get the bike once I have bought it is to collect it from one of the giant dealers. However the nearest giant dealer from me with the bike I want in stock is 90 miles away. That seems like a bit of a long journey to me. All the other bike suppliers that will deliver the bike don’t have it in my size. Is this really the only way to get my bike if I buy it from giant? Also if I collected the bike will the bike be ready built and will they cut the ISP to size for me?

Depends if you mean 90 miles up in the north of Scotland, on winding B roads, or 90 miles up the M1/M4/M5 etc. 180 mile round trip is really no big deal..
Drop a post re sizing/colour/spec etc and lets see what we can do to help out a fellow forumite in his hour of need!!!

We got TDV's stuff like this when she moved down to God's own country from the grim industrial north.

Re built - yes.
Re cutting ISP - following sizing check, yes.
Re immediate post purchase first service and any warranty claims that may happen: your call and negotiation with shop.

Most "Giant Dealers" are independent bike shops, they won't act as a pick up station.
Yes fair enough I misread the post.

I got talking to a giant dealer that was local to me. He was no use if the truth be told and couldn’t order one in for me despite my best efforts. He didn’t say why but looking at the giant website all the bikes seem to be in limited stock so maybe it’s a problem on giants end. Anyway I’ve set up a notification for when (or if) more local dealers get the bike in stock. So it’s a waiting game I guess I’ll give it a month and if they haven’t got it in stock by then I’ll look for a bike from a brand that have bikes in stock and will actually delivery them (any suggestions I quite like the look of a cervelo). As for the suggestions of cycling it back have you seen the weather in the UK. I’d probably die from heatstroke.

If it's a 2018 bike you are talking about, then there won't be any more stock. Giant is probably well into its 2019 production run now, so the only 2018 availability will be either whatever an individual dealer has in the showroom, or whatever is left in Giant UK's warehouse. So in other words, if you want that particular bike, then you are going to have to make the 180 mile round trip somehow to get it.
