deliveries and returns policy

We want you to be fully satisfied with your sup purchase.   Our returns and replacements policy is there for your protection and is in line with Distance Selling Regulations 2000.

Deliveries

We aim to get a stock item to you within a few days working days, but there may be times when an out of stock item may take longer. You will be advised of this at the time of ordering.

Due to the size of paddle boards and paddles it is often recommended that they are collected in person.  This will allow you to check the item before taking it away.

Cooling off period

The purpose of a cooling off period is to allow you to assess a product as if you were in the shop before deciding to buy. This period begins as soon as the order has been made and ends seven working days after the day of receipt of goods.

Please note that all shipping costs must be covered by the buyer for both outbound and return costs.

Obtaining a returns number or RMA

When returning any items you must obtain an RMA number directly from us before sending the items back.   This can be done via email or in writing but not by telephone.  Any item received without an authorisation number will be refused.

This will help us issue a refund or send out a replacement ASAP upon receipt of the returned products.

Returning unused, unwanted products and returns period

Assuming that we have received the goods within 14 days of the delivery date and items are unused and in resalable condition, with the original packaging, labelling and the above criteria regarding our returns policy have all been met, a refund request will be actioned within 5 week days from receipt.

No receipt or proof of purchase means no refund/exchange!

The 14 days start from the day of despatch, but as a minimum includes a period of 7 working days from the day after delivery to you as the permitted cancellation period.

This would not apply for special orders taken on behalf of the customer.

Please note: all warranty returns must be clean and free from dirt to comply with the current Health and Safety Regulations.

Shipping charges will be made for any items being returned unless the goods were damaged or not as ordered. (Damages must be noted with the delivery courier being taking final receipt of the products)

Postage method

We recommend that items being returned are sent using an insured and trackable method for your own protection.

Please note that we will not be responsible for products:

  • That have been damaged on their journey back to us
  • That are lost on their journey back to us
  • Either of the above will need to be claimed for by the customer under the insurance they have added to their return shipment.

    Please note: all return postage charges to be met by customer, unless returning due to a fault which must be reported immediately upon your receipt of the goods. If you do not sign for the gods as damaged when first received, we cannot accept responsibility for the damage or costs etc.
