Avoid this company if you can

I ordered a swimming wetsuit. When it arrived, it was clear that it was mis-labelled as a Large when it appeared to be a Small. I then sent the suit back with an explanation of the issue and a request to resend the correct suit using the suggested contact platform. After many emails (most with a different person), I discovered that Watersports Outlet AU is actually in the UK meaning a long wait for the suit to be received, processed, re-sent etc, despite being requested to an address in Sydney. To cut a long story short, Watersports eventually refunded the suit (despite me asking for the correct one to be sent instead) about 6 weeks after sending it back to them - the last I heard it was still sitting at their Sydney relay point. Absolute muppet show.

These guys are bullsh t artists

These guys are bullsh t artists! They make out that they are an Australian company with a Sydney office, yet are drop shipping my order from a warehouse outside of London UK

Most orders from Sydney are delivered to me in about 3 or 4 days.

Not these guys!
Just short of 2 weeks and Im still waiting for my order to arrive from the other side of the world

I just wish that they were upfront with their physical location so I could plan the delivery time accordingly

Hi Billy,

Thanks for your review. We did recently close our Sydney warehouse and now ship all Australian orders from our UK warehouse. It looks like we missed updating an address on our website, and we apologise for that oversight - it’s been corrected.

The delivery timeframes shown on our site are accurate and kept up to date. If your order took longer than expected, we’re sorry for the delay and would be happy to look into it further if you get in touch with our team.

Watersports Wonderful !

No supplier in Australia could get me the Red Gill OS2 Salopettes. You guys delivered from the UK for just AUD $14.95 inside two weeks which is phenomenal!
I’m overseas and not home to collect them but my local hardware shop in our country town messaged me to advise of their arrival.

Hi Gavin,

Love this! So glad we could get the OS2s to you when no one closer could. Hope they’re waiting safely at the hardware shop until you’re back and ready for action when you are.

Appreciate you ordering with us all the way from Australia.

Ordered a wetsuit and it has taken over…

Ordered a wetsuit and it has taken over three weeks to arrive. Still don’t have it. Very poor communication from the company. Wetsuit seems to be coming from the Uk and according to shipping has been on a trip to USA. Be warned this is Not an Australian company even though the website ends in .com.au

Poor manufactured product.

Recently received the Optimum Time watch. The watch is extremely difficult to change the batteries (it doesn’t come with a battery) So much so that the thread appears to be now gone in one of the screws and can’t get battery into my watch. Looks like I won’t ever be able to use the watch. A waste of time and money!

Items never delivered

I ordered 4 items in Australia on 30th Nov. I received 2 items promptly from Sydney. The other 2 were sent from the UK despite the website saying they have a Sydney warehouse. I got a call in Dec 6th from UPS courier demanding $218 for and import tax before they will deliver. I contacted UPS to dispute this. They said because I spent over $1000 (I did not spend over $1000) that I had to pay the fee. I contacted watersports to report this and they advised they would email UPS to fix the issue. A few days passed and nothing. I then contacted watersports again and they told me I need to phone UPS to sort it. I did this, UPS claim they have had no contact from the seller. I sent my invoice to UPS to prove I didn't spend over $1000. Today, now the 13th Dec I get an email from UPS with a revised invoice they want paid of $120 before the will deliver with no explanation as to why. I have contacted watersports again and have had no response. It is not my fault that watersports choose to use a well known awful courier service. I have been left with no product, lost time and stress dealing with all of this over the past 2 weeks. The items were for a birthday present which has now passed. Terrible service. Order elsewhere.

Dear Pam,

Thank you for your comment.

We are terribly sorry to hear that ups requested any extra charge to deliver your parcel.

This is certainly not the experience we wish for our customers.

We have been in touch with this courrier and they have admitted that it was a mistake on their part. They have now all the documents needed for the delivery and do not require any extra fee to be paid.

As you do no wish to receive this parcel any longer, we have requested a return to shipper and will process to a full refund.


Please accept our sincere apology for this inconvenient.

Kind regards

WSO
