How do I know my item is in stock?

Unlike many other websites, we will only say something is in stock if we actually have it in our warehouse so you can be confident when placing your order. Read more...

When you’ve decided on the product you’re interested in (and chosen an option i.e. size, colour, etc where appropriate) the availability status of the product is displayed under the [Add item to My Basket] button. This is the estimated time until the goods are despatch to you. Please bear in mind that we will only ship your order when all items are in stock. If you’d rather not wait while some of the items come in to stock we advise that you place a separate order for these so that the rest of your order can be despatched.

In stock and ready to go
Means the product is in stock in our warehouse and can be despatched to you normally within one working day.

Due in ‘X’ days / Due in 'month'
Means that the product is not currently in stock and will be ‘X’ days until it comes in if you place your order today. The number of days is based on the day of the week we order from that supplier and the length of time that they estimate to deliver it to us.

The number of due days when you place your order is the number of days you can expect to wait until your order comes into stock. You may notice this number goes down and then jumps back up if you return to the product page over a number of days. This is the due days for new orders and does not affect your order.

Due soon
Means that we are expecting more stock soon but unfortunately the supplier is unable to give us a date for delivery. Where we are able to estimate a delivery date, you can order the item by adding it to your basket but you will have to wait for the item to come into stock before we can despatch it. As per our usual policy you will not be billed until the goods are despatched (with the exception of PayPal orders) and you can cancel the item at anytime up until it is picked for despatch.

Where we do not know when stock will arrive, you will be able to request a notification by email. As soon as the item comes into stock we will email and let you know, that way you can avoid being disappointed by it selling out.

Sold out
Means we have no more of that product remaining and we do not expect to be able to secure future supplies. In this case you should select an alternative product.

What is Price Slide?

Price Slide is a revolutionary new system that offers our customers a great deal on end of line clearance items from our stores. Read more...

The price of the items in Price Slide gets cheaper by 1% every day meaning there’s some great deals to be had. The price you see when you add the item to your basket is the price you pay. Although waiting for the price to go down is a great way of getting a bargain, the stocks of Price Slide items are very limited so if someone else buys the item before you then you’ll miss out. Price Slide items are non returnable.

Key Points
• The price of all Price Slide products decrease by 1% every day at midnight (GMT)
• The price on the day you buy a product is the price you pay
• The price will continue to fall until all our stock is gone. When it’s gone it’s gone!
• All products are end of line & will not be re-ordered
• Price slide items are non refundable

How do I know if an item is in price slide?
The item will be displayed in our price slide department and also at the end of the product description have the following warning "This is a price slide item and has restricted returns options, click here for more information."

What if an item I order is the wrong size?
If an item is the wrong size, you can return it back to us for a swap to the correct size if available, or a voucher which you can use in any of our websites stores.

How do I know if an item is in price slide?
If you are swapping an item for a different size you swap at the price you originally paid, not the price its at when you swap.  Normal sale items do not have any return restrictions and are unaffected by price slide terms and conditions.

What if I simply dont like the item?
We will accept the item back within 7 days from dispatch and issue a voucher (valid for 1 year) for returned items, which can be used in any of our website stores.

Please Note: Normal sale items do not have any return restrictions and are unaffected by price slide terms and conditions

Do you offer warranty on goods inside the EU?

As authorised dealers Simply Scuba offers customers the finest warranty service available. Customers within the EU are able to have any product which they purchased from us, repaired locally to them by another authorized dealer since all products carry at least a one year's manufacturers warranty. Alternatively any goods purchased from us can be returned to us for warranty work within the term of the manufacturers warranty.

Do you offer warranty on goods outside the EU?

For customers outside the EU, Simply Scuba offer the same peace of mind as buying from a local store. Most responsible manufacturers with dealers in your home country will be happy to warrant any defective item locally to you to avoid any inconvenience. Should this not be the case, the item should be returned to us. Unfortunately however, we cannot refund any return carriage costs.
