Delivery/ Shipping Information
Status : Some delays; Royalmail strikes impacting on all delivery inc. couriers like DPD as they are being subcontracted by Royalmail.
WE OFFER ALL SHIPPING AT COST & WE DO NOT PROFIT FROM SHIPPING YOUR GOODS !
Our default UK shipping service is via Royal Mail 2nd Class for items considered ‘large letter’ size (ie hoods, gloves, wax etc) and for parcels we also use Royal Mail or DPD tracked (your choice at checkout) depending on parcel size and weight. We find these to be the best low cost and reliable solutions. If your order is placed before 10.30 am we will always endeavor to post it the same day.
WE REALLY RECOMMEND USING DPD if you have a choice at checkout, for a few Pounds more their service and ‘smart’ tracking is amazing. Full details here.
Note that if you chose DPD and live in some areas of the UK inc. Highlands and Islands and Northern Ireland shipping costs around £18 per parcel although this cost will not be displayed or charged. Next day is also not always possible in these areas and it will take 48 hours. Our shopping cart system cannot currently deal this issue but we are working on it so if you chose DPD and you live in one of these areas we will ship with royal mail 48 tracked instead.
In a hurry ? We also offer a DPD NEXT WORKING DAY TRACKED. Note we only ship Monday to Friday, not weekends.
Most parcels up to 2 kilo will go next day for £8.99 with this service to most UK mainland postcodes. The cut off time for NEXT WORKING DAY orders to be place with us is around 10.30am as their driver collects from us at about that time. After that time the order will be shipped next working day. Heavier parcels tend to go 24 – 48 hours at of a cost under £15 in most cases.
NOTE DPD DO NOT DELIVER ON A SATURDAY IN MANY AREAS SO IF YOU ORDER NEXT DAY ON A FRIDAY IT WILL BE DELIVERED ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THERE IS ALSO NO COLLECTION SERVICE ON BANK HOLIDAYS SO ORDER PLACED ON BANK HOLIDAY WEEKENDS WILL GO OUT THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY.
All our shipping is charged at cost price and rates calculations are dependent upon the number and the weight of items you purchase with weight being the main overriding cost factor. Postage is calculated and displayed in the shopping cart before you complete your purchase.
Below are a few examples of postage on single items to UK destinations via Royal Mail : Neoprene Sunglasses Strap: 1.19p Wetsuit Gloves: £1.99 Rash Vest: £1.99 Wetsuit Carry Bag & Changing Mat: £3.89 Wetsuit Boots: £3.89 Thermal Lined Neoprene Long John: £3.89 Summer Wetsuits from: £3.89 Winter Wetsuits from: £5.75

International deliveries will take longer depending on your exact location, email us for time scales. Covid as slowed many international services. We use Royal Mail airmail tracked but note tracking is not available in all counties.
Royal mail international airmail tracked can take up to 14 working days and sometimes longer depending on your location. If you are in a rush please don’t order. Often parcels will arrive with you in 5 to 10 working days but this not guaranteed as many local postal services are slower and once it leaves the UK it will go with your local national mail service.
