Customer Service
We aim to answer all questions and queries by email or phone within a maximum of 24 hours.
Payment & Methods:
We accept Direct Credits, EFTPOS or cash payment.
Pickups:
You can collect your kayak at arranged appointment times (preferably on weekdays as we are not normally open during weekends). Weekend pickups can be arranged by appointment.
Freight Deliveries:
Your kayak will be sent the next working day after receiving payment, with normal North Island delivery within 1-2 working days and South Island 2-3 days. Delays can occur over peak times (e.g. Christmas or long weekends). You will need to be present to receive the delivery and sign for it as being in good condition; the freight company can call you first if required.
We do not offer Saturday delivery.
***Please note Freight calculated on purchase does not include any Rural freight. Please ask for a rural price to your address before proceeding as these are extra costs that vary between destinations and distance from the main depot.
