If a parcel is unclaimed and sent back to us, shipping costs will reapply to have the parcel resent. If the customer refuses to pay customs charges or does not claim the package and it is returned, all shipping charges will be deducted from any refund plus a £10 handling fee. Unclaimed and rejected parcels can take up to 3 months to be returned to sender and no refunds can be processed until the goods have been received. Please see below for further information regarding Brexit & customs charges.

If you believe your parcel to be lost, please contact hello@kobaswim.com and we will assist with locating your package.
If your delivery is damaged in anyway, it is important that you contact us via email to hello@kobaswim.com within 48 hours, otherwise the delivery companies may not accept a claim.
Customs Payments and Brexit
Koba Swim operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes and customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs.
Following the UK leaving the EU on 1st January 2021 (BREXIT), there have been some changes to customs and duty charges for EU customers. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check first with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable.
If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping charges will deducted from any refund. No refund will be made until the returned parcel has been received by ourselves. Please note that parcels that have been 'returned to sender' can take up to 3 months to arrive. We will not cover any fees which may be incurred to return the parcel which will result in it being destroyed by the customs authorities.
Customs, tax and import payments are completely out of our control. By ordering on our website, you are accepting these terms and conditions.
If you have any questions please send us an email to our Customer Service team on hello@kobaswim.com
