Returns

How do I process a return?

Ensure you have read our return policy below before proceeding. Please submit a return request by completing the Boardcave Returns Form Here. Once the form has been completed, a customer support member will review the information provided and a confirmation email with the return address will be sent to you within 1-2 business days.

What is your return policy?

We try to make our returns process as seamless as possible. However, there are some general rules and guidelines to follow to ensure we can process your return request as efficiently as possible. All returns must be received within 30 days of purchase and in a brand new, unused condition with original packaging (including tags). Unfortunately, Boardcave does not provide refunds for 'change of mind.' In the case that you have changed your mind on the product purchased, we can provide an exchange or store credit for you, (providing the items meet the criteria of being in a brand new, unused condition).

All returns must be free from marks, stains, scratches and rips. If not, the return may not be accepted (unless faulty or damaged). All refunds, exchanges and store credits are subject to product inspection. At this stage, all return shipping fees are the responsibility of the customer, (unless faulty, damaged or the incorrect product has been received). For wetsuit returns, please see our guidelines listed below on this page.

If you have any questions that are not listed on this page please leave us a message on live chat and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

How do I return a wetsuit?

Please complete the Boardcave Returns Form for a customer support member to approve. When returning wetsuits please ensure that it is tightly rolled with cardboard on the interior and exterior of the wetsuit, (as you originally received it). Badly creased neoprene caused from not following our guideline may not be accepted for return unless faulty.

Please note that an exchange or store credit can only be provided (unless the product is deemed faulty). However, if the wetsuit you are requesting to return does not fit and we do not have your size in stock at the time of reviewing your return request we will provide a refund, provided that the wetsuit has been received and is in original condition, tags attached and is not badly creased.
