Terms & Conditions

Payment Information
We use and trust Paypal as our payments gateway.
What is Paypal?
PayPal's service builds on the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards and utilizes the world's most advanced proprietary fraud prevention systems to create a safe, global, real-time payment solution. Read more
How does it work?

After confirming your order upon check-out in our online shop, you will be automatically forwarded to Paypal’s secure and encrypted website and will be asked for your credit card information, or to sign in if you already have a Paypal account. Your order will then be processed and shipped as soon as possible. Read more

Is it safe?

We believe Paypal is the safest way to pay online. All information is encrypted with state-of-art 128-bit SSL technology. Read more

Is it available in my country?

Payment by Paypal is available for more than 190 countries and regions. Read more

Bank Transfer
After checking out with your shopping cart, you will be given our bank account information you need to make the transfer. Please include your order number in the transfer description field. Unlike payment by credit card, if you choose to pay by bank transfer, your order will be on hold until total payment is confirmed. Products ordered will be reserved to you, but will only be shipped after the payment is received or confirmed. To speed your order processing, send us a copy of the transfer receipt to sales@paddle-lab.com.
Shipping Information
We ship using diverse companies to all over the world to always get a good compromise between cost, speed, and reliability.

How long does it take to delivery?

  • European Union: 3 working days
  • U.S.A.: 4 working days
  • Australia, Canada, Japan: 5 working days
  • Rest of the world: 6 working days
Exceptions

The delivery time may increase between 5 to 10 business days on personalized items.

Some handcrafted items, as Mahogany Boat Stand and similar, due to the production characteristics, the delivery time may increase up to 15 business days.
How much does it cost?

We adopted the flat rate shipping. That means that a single rate is charged for shipping a package. So, orders to European Union have a cost of 20 euros and 40 euros for the rest of the world. For orders from 200eur, the shipping costs are up to us. 

There are however some exceptions for articles that due to their size, shape, weight or shipping restrictions cannot fit the flat rate model. Those cases are usually stated on the item page and have to be quoted on a case to case basis.

Can I know the cost before buying?
  • Login to your account (or create one), this way your country is selected.
  • Add/remove items from your shopping cart.
  • Click on the shopping cart: cost is displayed at the bottom.

Is there a Tracking & Tracing number?

Yes, it’s provided when your order is shipped.
Returns & Replacements
And if I need to return some or all items?

Contact us, we will give you credit on the returning cost.
