1. Order Processing Time
All confirmed orders are processed and prepared for dispatch within 24-48 business hours (Monday to Friday).
Availability: The estimated delivery time depends on the availability of the products in our stock or our suppliers' stock.
Tracking: You will receive an email notification once your order is handed over to the courier, including the tracking number (AWB) for real-time monitoring.
2. Standard Shipping Options (European Union Zone)
We partner with major international and fast local courier services (such as DHL, DPD, etc.) to ensure reliable delivery across the European Union.
| Order Value (European Union) | Standard Shipping Cost |
| Orders under €200 | Calculated at checkout based on weight and destination |
| Orders of €200 and over | FREE Shipping |
Estimated Delivery Time: Varies between 1 and 7 business days from the moment of dispatch, depending on the destination country and specific service selected.
(Note: Delivery within the country of origin, like Romania, usually takes 1-3 business days.)
Remote Areas: Specific surcharges may apply for islands, remote locations, or hard-to-reach areas, which will be communicated and confirmed before shipping.
3. Shipping for Bulky or Oversized Products
For heavy, oversized, or special safety equipment (e.g., large inflatable boats, specific rigging), shipping rules may differ due to dimensional restrictions.
Cost: The exact cost will be confirmed during the checkout process and may not qualify for the standard free shipping promotion (even if the order value exceeds €200).
Timeline: Delivery for these products might require an extended term, typically 3–7 business days, depending on the specialized freight carrier.
