Shipping and Returns
SHIPPING
How It Works
Once you’ve placed an order you will receive a notification via email letting you know we have received this. When an item is ready to ship, a dispatch notice will be confirmed by email. As a guide, we aim to get your order packed as quickly as we can - usually within 48 hours.
Postage Charges
All orders will incur a shipping charge of £5 within the UK for standard delivery and £8 for Express delivery, £15 to mainland Europe and £25 for international shipping. These charges are non-refundable when an order cancellation occurs after your swimwear has been shipped.
Delivery Locations
StayWildSwim.com delivers to the UK, mainland Europe and rest of the world.

Please note due to the huge volume of orders and packages being sent please order as early as possible to avoid any unforeseen delays
We aim to have your swimwear delivered to you within 4-6 working days from time of order (for UK and Europe) and 8-10 working days for International delivery. Once an order has been dispatched, Stay Wild Swim is unable to amend delivery location or redirect your order.
Please note: orders crossing borders may incur local duties and taxes. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount, therefore these are not included in your order and will need to be paid locally upon receipt. Please contact your local customs office if you need further information before placing your order.

RETURNS AND EXCHANGES
*Sample sale* - any items purchased in a sample sale (online and in person) are final sale only. Exchanges and returns are not accepted on sample sale items.
Can I return a sale item(s)?
Sale items are exchange only and cannot be refunded; this includes all discounted and promotional items. We understand that buying Final Sale items can be tricky, so if you have any questions about the style, please reach out to shop@staywildswim.com for guidance or review our size guide.
At Stay Wild Swim we are passionate about customer service and we aim to please every customer with our consciously made swimwear. We are confident that with your careful consideration of our size guide you will purchase a piece that is the correct fit.
If you do need to exchange any items you can do so at any point within 14 days of receipt of goods. Items must be in their original state on receipt of returned item. (Hygiene liner intact). For reasons of hygiene, without a hygiene liner we are unable to accept your return and exchange the item.
If you would like to exchange then please email shop@staywildswim.com. We will email you an exchange/returns form and returns address and posting instructions. Unfortunately we are unable to offer freepost returns and it is the customers responsibility to pay for the return. Please ensure your items are securely wrapped so no damage can be caused to the item and the exchange form must be enclosed. When sending the parcel back, please make sure you obtain a proof of postage certificate. Please note if the above conditions are not met we are sadly unable to process your return or refund you.
It usually takes between 5-10 working dates from receipt of your returned parcel to process your exchange.
Exceptions
Hygiene and our customers’ safety is very important to us, and due to the nature of certain items the below can’t be returned for refunds including:
- The Stay Wild Facemask

What if my return is late?
Any returns that arrive after the 14 days are ineligible for return and will be reshipped to the customer upon receipt at our fulfilment centre. Please note, you will be liable for postage costs for us to return these item(s) to you.
Exchanging goods from outside Europe
When exchanging items from outside of Europe get in touch at shop@staywildswim.com. We will email you an exchange/returns form and posting instructions.

Stay Wild Swim is not liable to pay customs, duty and/or vat incurred on returned items. Please mark your international return as "uk returned goods".
