I am satisfied with the received material, with the welcome in the store. However, I am not at all satisfied with the service provided by the site. The delivery was more than poor, lost packages. I requested compensation in return but never received a response!

Little information on products in stock in physical stores
The site indicated a size 44.5 on the ordered product (only size available) and finally the product received is a size 44

I ordered a Billabong wetsuit on this site, bad experience.
Already the carrier is GLS which is not very reliable (the delivery person just left the package in front of my door without ringing).
For the wetsuit, I was sent a wetsuit that did not have the same color as on the website and belongs to the lower range than the one I ordered.
I therefore contacted customer service, not available for a seminar (I had to wait until the day after delivery to manage to reach them via social media).
They no longer had the wetsuit I wanted.
I was offered to return it or a discount of only 10% on the wetsuit even though I received the lower range (I didn't have time to return it because of the holidays).
I therefore kept the wetsuit asking for a commercial gesture (like a discount voucher or something) but unfortunately nothing was done.
The wetsuit remains even with these 10% still more expensive than on the brand's website or in surf shops.
I do not recommend this site, prefer a surf shop or another brand instead.

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
We made a photo error on the revolution 3/2 wetsuit. Following this error that you pointed out to us, we sent you a return label that you did not wish to use. You preferred to keep the wetsuit.
We therefore proposed a refund of 10% of the value of the wetsuit, to summarize you received a wetsuit priced at 234 euros which is sold on the Billabong site for 260 euros.
We did our best to ensure you were satisfied with our service.
We are sorry that this was not enough.
The entire Hawaiisurf team wishes you a good day.

Did not receive the package. The delivery person left me a message outside of their delivery hours. "Apparently rang on the 14th and 16th while I haven't left my house and my building's doorbell is on my landline"

As for the site, there is nothing to complain about. However, the fact that Hawaiisurf works with GLS for the carrier is really a negative point...
The box I received was really very damaged... Fortunately, it wasn't fragile. But it's no surprise that it was damaged, I saw the delivery person throw a package on the ground (not mine) to find my box... And I have already had broken packages with this carrier...
Also, I find it unfortunate to have to pay for a return... It's a practice that is becoming less common and it's a major weak point. I will pay more attention in the future...

Hello,
We are sorry for this incident with this delivery person and will not fail to report this problem. We collaborate with different carriers to offer a varied offer tailored to our customers' needs. Regarding return fees, we have chosen to prioritize a team of passionate specialists and a local and free customer service rather than offering free returns. We still thank you for your very constructive remark.

I ordered my board on the Hawaiisurf website and received it with an impact on the underside of the board. I immediately informed Hawaiisurf but had to follow up three times to get a response which was ultimately negative. They don't want to know anything (no commercial gesture and they don't even open a file with the carrier)... it's my fault if my board is damaged... really a shame to trust a site only to receive a new but damaged board. I do not recommend this site.
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied. However, before shipping we notified you insisting that it was essential to unpack the board and check it in front of the carrier to avoid such inconveniences. Surfboards are particularly fragile products and need to be checked carefully. We are sorry for this situation and we are ready to offer you a gesture on a future order to compensate for your disappointment. Please contact customer service at [email protected].

Hello,
Thank you for excusing us for this inconvenience, we strive to provide the best possible service and to make the cleanest setups possible.

Hawaiisurf chose GLS, which is the worst delivery service existing (look at the ratings of the GLS relay in your city on Google maps you will see). I didn't realize it was GLS when I ordered. So I obviously didn't receive my order: they simply do not deliver. They leave the package at their agency pretending it's an incorrect address. Choosing GLS is choosing the cheapest service possible but the worst for customers.

Hello, we offer delivery via GLS, of which a very large number of customers are satisfied. Please note that you also have the option to choose Colissimo delivery to your home or in a relay point. We will contact GLS to resolve the issue and ask them for a delivery. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. The entire Hawaii Surf team wishes you a good day.

I was delivered quickly, well done GLS!
However, the board (drop trough) "Flying Wheels Helmet 38.5", had already been mounted before being sent to me bare.
It is damaged at the road side mounting holes. It shows marks from the washers that were supposed to hold the truck before. With residues of grip embedded (grip that presumably went through the board during the original installation).

Board damaged during delivery and a real obstacle course to get reimbursed. Always up to you to do the steps = 1 month.
Board not protected in the box, no possible tracking for the delivery of the board, delivery company: does not notify you when it passes and does not leave a message.
Conclusion: AVOID and buy in a surf shop:
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
We are sorry that your board arrived damaged, the boards are shipped via a specialized carrier hence the tracking unavailable in your space, however, with a simple email or call, we can give you the status of the transport.
As for the refund, you contacted us on April 12, the refund request was made on April 12 at 4:50 PM. The bank refund takes a maximum of 5 working days to be effective.
We are sorry that you consider this as an obstacle course and we will make sure to improve in the future.

The size of the item is too large despite checking the measurements in the reference table. Package reception disappointment: original box completely crushed as it was simply covered with a black plastic film. Waiting for approval for return.
