Where available we will also include the tracking number provided by the courier so that you can track it live via their online tracking service.

Will I need to sign for my delivery?
Yes, as a general rule the courier will require a signature on delivery.
The vast majority of drivers will no longer leave parcels unattended for security reasons, leaving a note for the driver to leave a parcel inside the back gate for example may not be fulfilled. As such we always advise that you provide a delivery address where someone will be present to sign for the parcel i.e. a work address or trusted neighbour.
However, if your order is small, light and inexpensive, and you choose to have it sent to you via our standard service, it may be delivered to you via Royal Mail 1st Class post and may therefore be delivered with your normal mail.
|
Can I Collect My Order?
Yes of course, if you live locally and want to pop into the shop to pick up your order that's fine.
Just select "collection" as your delivery option when you checkout and we'll email you when we've picked it and it's ready for collection. Please click here to see our opening hours and how to find us

Overseas Orders, VAT and Import Duties
If your delivery county is inside the European Union then your order will be subject to VAT.
VAT (Value Added Tax @ 17.5%) will be automatically calculated and included in your total according to the delivery country that you select when choosing your delivery options. No further import taxes will be due on your order.
For exports to countries outside the EU although these are exempt from VAT you may be required to pay import duties by your government, you will be notified by the courier that delivers your goods if this is the case.
Some countries (including but not limited to Israel, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey) do not impose import duties on products shipped from the EU, however in some cases you may be required to pay a local sales tax; you will be notified by the courier that delivers your goods if this is the case.

Missing Or Damaged Delivery?
If your goods have either been received as damaged or are missing please contact customer services immediately, either by email customer.services@simplyscuba.com or by calling us on 0844 567 7070.
If the goods are damaged we will need a proof of the damage, either by the item being returned to us, or in some cases a image sent via email. By speaking to customer services they can advise you on the best course of action. Once we have verified the damage we can then rectify the situation by either sending out a replacement item or a replacement part.
If your goods have simply gone missing for UK orders we simply have to wait 5 days past the standard delivery time and we can then re-send you the goods. If you are an overseas customer we have to wait up to a maximum of 30 days from dispatch, after this period has passed we can re-send the goods.
