SHIPPING SERVICE PROVIDER
We send our packages with DHL. Outside of Germany, DHL works with local shipping service providers. For all shipments we provide you with a tracking number, which you can use to track your delivery.

DELIVERY TIME FOR SURFWEAR
To ensure that you receive your new surf clothing as quickly as possible, we will ship within 3 working days of receipt of payment. The delivery time depends on the respective country and shipping service provider. Therefore, no guarantee can be given for a specific delivery date. Shipping within Germany usually takes 2-3 working days.

DELIVERY TIME FOR LIFESTYLE PRODUCTS
Our lifestyle products (T-shirts, bags, etc.) are custom printed once your order is received. This process typically takes 1-4 business days. We then promptly dispatch your order. As with surf clothing, delivery times depend on your country and the shipping provider, so we cannot guarantee a fixed delivery date. Within Germany, shipping usually takes 2-3 business days.

RETURNS
If you are not satisfied with your order, you have the opportunity to return it 14 days after receiving the goods. We ask you to take care of the return yourself and therefore also cover the shipping costs. Please choose a shipping service with tracking, otherwise we cannot guarantee that we will receive the package.

Please send us an email that includes the following:

  • your name
  • your order number
  • list of items you would like to return
  • tracking number and name of the shipping service provider

We would be pleased if you would let us know the reason for the return.
