Good supplier, Bad product

The supplier was good and the delivery went smoothly.
The product is not real as it was shown on the website, thin and has too many stickers or prints at least 5 everywhere

Items never delivered

I ordered 4 items in Australia on 30th Nov. I received 2 items promptly from Sydney. The other 2 were sent from the UK despite the website saying they have a Sydney warehouse. I got a call in Dec 6th from UPS courier demanding $218 for and import tax before they will deliver. I contacted UPS to dispute this. They said because I spent over $1000 (I did not spend over $1000) that I had to pay the fee. I contacted watersports to report this and they advised they would email UPS to fix the issue. A few days passed and nothing. I then contacted watersports again and they told me I need to phone UPS to sort it. I did this, UPS claim they have had no contact from the seller. I sent my invoice to UPS to prove I didn't spend over $1000. Today, now the 13th Dec I get an email from UPS with a revised invoice they want paid of $120 before the will deliver with no explanation as to why. I have contacted watersports again and have had no response. It is not my fault that watersports choose to use a well known awful courier service. I have been left with no product, lost time and stress dealing with all of this over the past 2 weeks. The items were for a birthday present which has now passed. Terrible service. Order elsewhere.

Dear Pam,

Thank you for your comment.

We are terribly sorry to hear that ups requested any extra charge to deliver your parcel.

This is certainly not the experience we wish for our customers.

We have been in touch with this courrier and they have admitted that it was a mistake on their part. They have now all the documents needed for the delivery and do not require any extra fee to be paid.

As you do no wish to receive this parcel any longer, we have requested a return to shipper and will process to a full refund.


Please accept our sincere apology for this inconvenient.

Kind regards

WSO

Great products and efficient service.

The Watersports Outlet website was easy to navigate, and there is a great range of products. I have purchased a number of products which have been excellent. I have recommended this site to friends who have since purchased your products. The company provides efficient service and straightforward returns if needed. It was also a pleasure to deal with your email contact support group. Thankyou.

Highly recommended and my new go to store!

I placed a last minute order for waterproof sailing bib pants on the Monday which were needed for a regatta starting Friday.
I received my order on the Thursday,
I was super impressed with the delivery speed with my pants arriving on time and also with the pants themselves.
They were a new brand, "Nookie" and were on sale.
They handled rain, 2 days of sailing in 25 knots and 12 degree tempretures, although I did have layers underneath.
I would highly recomend both the product and Watersports Outlet for your next purchase.

Great price, quick delivery, perfect purchase

I ordered a Billabong spring suit and wetsuit jacket and they arrived within five days, despite it being the busy pre-Christmas period. They were exactly as described and cost significantly less than purchasing from a local store., I would feel confident shopping here again.

Long time happy customer

Great quality wetsuit, very reasonably priced and really prompt delivery. This is true for all of my past orders for wetsuits, rash shirts and general surf accessories as well. I am very happy.

Excellent customer service provided by Carmela. Product I ordered was not in stock in the Australian distribution centre and my order was canceled. After contacting customer service, the product was shipped from the UK with UPS and arrived within a week! Thanks WO!

Excellent

Great, fabulous price, delivery about 7 days to Australia from uk. Happy with my wetsuit. Best that if in Australia you know the size you want before ordering so you don't have to send it back. Would buy from here again - definitely. Have also bought from them when lived in uk. 😊 Bought billabong uk 8 womens wetsuit.

Great product range at good prices

Great product range at good prices. Had looked elsewhere but couldn't believe some boating places don't allow returns for clothes and footwear (!). Ordered here as great returns policy.

I experienced excellent and efficent service from an organastion from overseas . The arrival of the parcel in 3 days was outstanding considering it came from Sussex England to Newcastle ie Blacksmiths. I can’t get a parcel to go from neighbouring suburb say Swansea to Blacksmiths in 3 days. That would take minium of 7-10 days. Best Regards Bill Young

Extremely helpful

I ordered a wetsuit in the wrong size and they were really helpful in assisting with returning and re-ordering the correct size. The price for the new size was matched from the time of the initial order, which was really appreciated. Thank you

Good prices and variety

Good prices and variety. One of the items didn't fit properly and I returned for a refund, which then I had to buy again a different size. The process was easy enough, but would be better if they offered straight up size exchanges.
