Please note. We cannot offer our next working day option to certain remote locations including some parts of the Scottish Highlands, Belfast and Northern Ireland.
​
Please note: At exceptionally busy times like Christmas, or in periods of adverse weather conditions, deliveries may be delayed by a day or two beyond normal time scales quoted. At these times we cannot guarantee next day delivery when selected.
Missed Delivery
​
The courier will attempt delivery up-to 3 times before returning the item to us​. All attempted deliveries will be logged on the tracking information and a calling card should be left notifying you of the failed attempt and the course of action to follow. Should any parcels be returned to us, you will be liable for any costs incurred in doing so and any subsequent re-delivery costs to you.
​
Maximum Parcel Size/Weight
​
All orders in excess of 30kg or considered oversized will require a separate delivery quot. We will notify you if your order exceeds any limits laid down by our chosen courier and advise of any additional costs.
​
Dispatching Hours
​
We dispatch orders Monday – Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm. As mentioned above, Next Working Day orders must be placed by 12pm to be dispatched the same day.
​
All orders will be shipped as soon as all the items are available – subject to payment authorisation.
​
Where items on your order are out of stock, the order will ship once all of the order’s components become available. If you would rather not wait for the remainder to come into stock, we advise that you place a separate order for these items.
​
We will notify you of any unusual delays in shipping your order to the email address provided at the time of placing your order.
Delivery Outside Of The UK
​
Sorry but we do not currently ship items outside of the UK.
​
Alternate Delivery Address
​
If you would like us to ship to an alternative address rather than your registered billing address, simply enter the alternate shipping address details during the checkout process.
Tracking Your Delivery
​
When we dispatch your order we will email you with the tracking details.
​
Tracking details will not appear or update on the couriers web site until the parcel has entered into their schedule, which could be up-to 24 hours after dispatch.
Missing Or Damaged Goods
​
If your goods have either been received damaged or are missing, please contact customer services immediately, either by email info@scubacourses.co.uk or by calling us on 07843 821218
​
If the goods are damaged we will need proof of the damage, either by the item being returned to us, or in some cases an image sent via email. Customer Services can advise you on the best course of action. Once we have verified the damage we can then rectify the situation. Claims for orders that arrived damaged must be made with 14 days of delivery.
​
If your goods have gone missing, please contact us so we can begin investigations and any necessary insurance claims with the courier. Please note that we are required to wait 3 business days past the standard expected delivery date before any claim can be made for goods lost in transit. Claims for items lost in transit must be reported within 28 days after dispatch.
