Ship and retain tracking

Inspection and resolution
SeaMotion identifies and reviews the parcel before confirming the exchange, replacement, refund, or other approved outcome.
Water-sports products should be returned clean, dry, complete, safely packed, and without avoidable installation, inflation, salt, sand, or storage damage.
Product condition
Inspect carefully without changing the item
Reasonable inspection should not become extended use, permanent setup, unsafe inflation, alteration, contamination, or damage that prevents resale or safe review.
- Kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, floats, and inflatable loungers should be clean, fully dry, carefully deflated, and free from trapped water or sand.
- Paddles, seats, leashes, fins, pumps, valves, repair kits, straps, and hardware should be included when supplied.
- Masks, snorkels, fins, water shoes, rash guards, wetsuits, and other wearable products should be clean, dry, and free from avoidable wear, odor, or contamination.
- Life jackets and flotation gear should not be cut, altered, waterlogged, damaged, or used in a way that affects safety or inspection.
- Chairs, canopies, umbrellas, mats, games, coolers, racks, and carts should be returned with the original poles, anchors, wheels, fasteners, bags, and accessories when supplied.
- Powered pumps, lighting, charging accessories, and electrical items should be disconnected, dry, complete, and safe to handle.
Exchange and return reasons
Different issues require different evidence
The approved resolution can depend on the product, availability, reason, condition, price difference, delivery record, and inspection result.
Size or Variation Exchange
Provide the selected size, color, model, capacity, dimensions, user details, and the replacement variation requested.
Compatibility Concern
Provide measurements, intended activity, user weight, product configuration, equipment details, and photographs showing the fit issue.
Damaged on Arrival
Photograph the unopened parcel, label, every damaged side, internal packing, complete product, affected area, and included components.
Incorrect Product
Show the received item, packaging label, model or variation details, order confirmation, and all contents before use.
Missing Components
Lay out and photograph everything received, then identify the missing valve, fin, leash, pump, strap, hardware, cable, manual, or accessory.
Change of Mind
The product must remain eligible under the timing, condition, completeness, authorization, and safe-return requirements.
Suspected Defect
Stop use and document the issue, setup, conditions, instructions followed, product markings, and any safety concern.
Direct Exchange Unavailable
When a replacement cannot be allocated, the resolution may involve an approved return and a separate new order.
Damaged, unsafe, or incorrect orders
Stop use and preserve the evidence
Prompt documentation helps distinguish delivery damage, missing components, an incorrect product, a suspected defect, compatibility concerns, and damage that occurred after delivery.
- Do not inflate, launch, tow, wear, power, charge, install, repair, clean, modify, discard, or return the product before instructions are provided.
- Photograph every side of damaged packaging before opening when possible.
- Keep cartons, labels, protective materials, manuals, accessories, cables, hardware, valves, fins, and repair parts.
- Stop using products that leak unexpectedly, expose electrical components, overheat, tear at load-bearing points, lose flotation, or create another safety concern.
- Provide the intended activity, user information, environmental conditions, setup steps, and product instructions followed when reporting a suspected defect.
- Never ship a pressurized, wet, contaminated, leaking, damaged-battery, fuel-containing, or otherwise hazardous item without specific instructions.
A documented parcel handoff and complete package record help SeaMotion trace returns, exchanges, damaged orders, and delivery-related concerns.
Possible outcomes
The resolution follows the approved review
SeaMotion considers the order, evidence, product condition, availability, stated reason, delivery record, return tracking, and inspection result.
Nothing on this page removes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be limited.
An approved resolution may include
- An exchange for an available size, model, color, capacity, or variation.
- A replacement for an accepted damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect product.
- A refund to the original payment method after acceptance.
- A partial refund when only part of the order or approved claim is eligible.
- A return followed by a separate replacement order when direct exchange is unavailable.
- Additional troubleshooting or documentation before a decision is completed.
- Denial when the request is outside the eligible period or the product no longer meets the return conditions.
- Another resolution required by applicable consumer law or an approved support decision.
Approved return shipping should use the supplied label, secure packaging, correct destination, and retained tracking information.
Return shipping and refunds
Approved returns include free shipping
SeaMotion provides free return shipping and charges no restocking fee for approved eligible returns and exchanges.
- Use only the return label, destination, method, and deadline provided for the approved request.
- Pack the item so it cannot move, puncture, leak, unfold, inflate, or damage other contents during transit.
- Keep the shipment receipt and tracking record until the return is completed.
- Returning a parcel does not automatically guarantee a refund or exchange; it must be received, identified, and inspected.
- Approved refunds are generally issued to the original payment method for the eligible amount actually paid.
- After SeaMotion issues a refund, the bank, card issuer, wallet, or payment provider may need additional time to display the credit.
- A pending authorization is not the same as a refund and may be released independently by the payment provider.
