Optimist Buoyancy Bag 48L Blue

Delivery and Costs

We try to treat delivery as a pass through cost and keep the cost to you as low as possible, on top of our already competitive product prices.

We offer free UK standard delivery for orders over £95 which includes most items. This does not include boats, trailers, trolleys, masts, booms, rig packages and large items which can't be sent via standard mail.

Any order placed by midday will leave us the same working day unless there is a lead time which we detail on the product page. We do not ship over the weekend or on bank holidays for one simple reason - we love to go sailing as much as you do.

We are based in the UK, deliveries sent outside of the UK may be subject to duties and tax on import. You will be asked for these at the point of delivery.

Due to changes in August 2025, if you are in the USA we will charge you duties before you complete purchase. These duties will then not be payable on import into the USA.

If you are ordering items to be sent to Northern Ireland, due to the Windsor Framework, we recommend you have them sent to your home address and not your work address.

We can ship to other locations across the World.

If you would like to order an item and can't see your location simply drop us an email to info@sailingchandlery.com with the items you are planning on ordering and your address, we can then arrange a delivery quote for you.
