1. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SHIP?

A: In stock items are sent out the next business day. The shipping time will vary by final destination and shipping options chosen.

2. CAN I CHANGE A SHIPPING ADDRESS?

A: Once an item is ordered, it is immediately logged into our system and shipping label is printed. Changing an address can be a bit tricky and cause a delay in the package moving out of our warehouse. We suggest you keep the address originally entered. If you have us a completely incorrect address, don't worry we can try to get you sorted. Email us at info@mongoboards.com

3. HOW DO I KNOW WHERE MY PACKAGE IS, DO YOU GIVE ME A TRACKING NUMBER?

A: Of course. As soon as a package leaves our warehouse our system will send you an automated email with your tracking number and directions to check on the status of the delivery. This is dependant on where you live and the relevant transport company.

4. HOW DO YOU CALCULATE SHIPPING FEES?

A: Shipping fees are based on a per package rate. The rate is a standard rate we receive from our chosen freight company, and then pass it on to you.

Please note once your goods leave our warehouse with the shipping company they are the responsibility of the customer. Mongoboards are not liable for any damage incurred by the courier/delivery company. 

A: If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase from Mongoboards due to manufacturing issues you can return your item(s) for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. (Returns must be unworn, in the state you received them, and in the original packaging.) Items can not be returned if you have had a change of mind on colour or size, credit notes can be issued depending on the circumstance. 

We are still working out the work flow of the automated returns, but in the mean time you can email us at info@mongoboards.com to get your return arranged.

When sending the package back to us, please make sure the merchandise is in its original packaging and place it in a shipping box (the best would be to use the shipping box we sent you your order in). If you do use the used shipping box, be sure to remove or cover any existing labels from the box. Attach the new shipping label to the sealed box. A black marker can also be used to cover any existing bar codes.

It may take 4-5 business days for your return to reach our fulfillment center on the Gold Coast, Australia. Once it is received and inspected (usually within 48-72 hours of receipt) your refund will be processed and automatically applied to your credit card or original method of payment within 7 days.

27. WHAT ARE YOUR SHIPPING POLICIES?

DOMESTIC - AUSTRALIA

A: Our standard delivery fee is set by the current market rates set by our chosen freight company. Where you are located determines what freight company we use. We do not offer insurance on shipping and this therefore remains the customers responsibility.  

28. HOW DO I CARE FOR MY BOARD? 

A: Stand Up paddle boards are essentially big surf boards and are more prone to problems because of an open cell rather than a closed cell foam used in construction. You will see on the top of your board it has a plastic nut embedded, this is a gautex valve that allows vapour to escape and will not let water in. Lets the board breath with fluctuating air temperatures. There is no need to touch this valve.

Never leave your board in direct sunlight, especially considering Australia's extremes, for extended periods of time. Be aware darker colour boards attract the heat more, always use your board bag. Mongoboards only offers a 3 month warranty on boards sold with out bags, basically your bag is your boards best friend. 

To keep your board looking good wash down with fresh clean water after use, allow to dry in the shade and store in its bag in a safe, dry, cool place. Rail protection tape is highly recommended to protect the edges of your board from paddle damage. 

Transportation - DO NOT use ratchet style tie downs as they are very easy to over tighten and can damage your board. We recommend hand pull tie down straps, these are freely available, these are the best way to tie down and transport your board. 

One of the most common forms of damage is thruster fin boxes, this damage usually occurs out of the water from being knocked about/stood on etc. If you are ONLY using your board in flat water ONLY use your center fin as the thruster fins create drag and are only necessary in the surf.

Basically if you own a stand up paddle board looking after it and storing it is generally down to common sense, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us info@mongoboards.com 

29. CARING FOR MY PADDLE 

Always make sure you rinse out your adjustable paddle to remove all salt and sand to avoid the paddle ceasing up. If your paddle becomes stuck due to the salt and sand this is not a warranty issue.
