Returns & Refund Policy

Please either return to our store in Leeds or follow instructions below;

Refunds/Exchanges

Depending on your location, it can take up to 7 business days from the date of your return for your parcel to be delivered back to our Store. We will inspect the returned item and will notify you of your refund/replacement or exchange via email. This is usually done within 5 working days of receiving your return into our Store. During busy periods, please allow up to 14 days for your return to be received and processed.

Section 1: Refunds

UK law automatically gives you a 14 day ‘cooling-off period’ when you buy something you haven’t seen in person, i.e. online unless it’s made to measure, bespoke, custom or an end of line item. Scuba Leeds offer a 21 days returns period – so providing the goods arrive back within 21 days and comply with the rest of the terms it OK.  Some items, however, are not eligible for a return though, including:

1. Products that deteriorate quickly
2. Products that have been personalised, made to measure or custom made specifically for you
3. Products that are end of line, items that we can no longer replace, obtain parts for or repair.
4. Items sold on clearance, due to the nature of the sale

Any items you wish to return for a refund must be unused and in an 'as new' condition with all packaging intact and all original labels and tags attached to the item. Removal or loss of original labels may affect your return. The products should not have been used in water, even for testing, until you are happy with them as they cannot be returned once used in water. Any evidence of use in water may result in the refund being rejected and the items returned to you. Please note that special orders that required stock to be ordered in to fulfill may incur a 20% restocking fee. We do hope you will take reasonable care of the items you wish to return as we reserve the right to refuse a refund and return the goods to you if they are not fit for re-sale.

Section 2: Exchanges

If you wish to return an item for exchange please place a new order for the correct item and return the unwanted item to us. Once it has been received, processed and approved we will action the refund. This is to eliminate any delay with the delivery of your item wherever possible.
