I ordered a swimsuit, I received the bottom, the top sent was a crop top and not the swimsuit top. Had to return both.

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,

We sincerely apologize for this error during the preparation of your order. As soon as we were informed, we immediately reacted to provide a quick and appropriate solution.

Living close to our store, we offered you to come and pick up the correct product directly in the shop to save you time. We also invited you to collect the new swimsuit top at the same time you returned the items that did not suit you, in order to simplify your process as much as possible.

After correcting the reference error on our site, you were able to reorder the desired top, with the support of our team to guide you in your online purchase. We are delighted that you are now satisfied with the swimsuits you kept.

If you believe that the solutions provided and your current satisfaction deserve to be highlighted, we would be grateful if you could update your review accordingly. Your feedback is valuable and reflects the importance we place on customer service.

Thank you again for your understanding and we remain at your disposal.

The HawaiiSurf team

I received the package, unfortunately the hood is way too tight, I won't be able to use it, yet it's my size and being a woman I thought it would be too big, very disappointed.

Hello, on the skateboard, nothing to say, however I had chosen express delivery at €20, and I received my package with standard delivery. I called the sales service who told me they would refund the shipping costs but nothing has been done. It's been 10 days, so maybe they are just very slow, if nothing changes, it will be close to a scam.

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello Jordan, We confirm that the refund for the express shipping costs has indeed been processed today to your original payment method. According to your bank, the amount will be visible in your account within 48 to 72 business hours. We apologize for this delay and remain at your disposal for any other questions. Have a nice day,

One of the two products arrived with a security tag forcing me to struggle to return it with a carrier that only existed at a distant pickup point from my home. The least they could have done was to immediately send me the product without the security tag at the same time as giving me a way to return the product. But no! Not content with messing up this shipment, HS did not trust me and therefore 15 days after receiving my order, I still have not received my product: this is LAMENTABLE

The cream is incredible, but as a negative point where the product comes from it is not sealed as a guarantee of quality
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Thank you Maria for your comment. We understand the situation. After checking, almost all SUN BUM cosmetic products we sell come with a seal, but it does not seem to be the case for the range you ordered. We will contact the brand to find out the reason and will provide you with more information. We wish you an excellent day! See you later!

It's slow and getting responses is always slow. It's been two weeks since I requested the return and it's still SLOW!!!!! No news. I don't know what we're waiting for, a return label can be created in a few moments so it would be great to take advantage of it and move forward a bit.

1 spray out of 2 received. The package was dropped in the mailbox with no possibility to check the package upon delivery and as stated in the tracking email: it is imperative to check the package upon delivery and to refuse delivery in case of doubts. No complaint can be taken into account without respecting this instruction.
I find it frustrating because in this case, the postman put the package directly in the mailbox which is at the beginning of the dead end. I was therefore unable to check the package. I would have appreciated having another option to make a complaint.
An error can also be made on your part. It is essential from my point of view to put oneself in the customer's shoes and to have flexibility and several options for complaints.

Delivery to an unrequested pickup point, in addition to that, 1 item was missing from the package (the inside of the package lacked padding to protect the order). Item sent later in a second package this time to the correct pickup point. Laborious experience overall, too bad we can no longer have deliveries to the store at Hawaii Surf Paris 14...

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello, I am sorry to hear that your delivery experience was difficult. It is understandable that delivery to an unrequested pickup point and the absence of an item in the initial package are sources of frustration. We will make sure to report this to the carrier. We will ensure that your future shopping experiences are more positive. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact customer service available by email, chat, or phone. Thank you for your understanding. Benjamin, HawaiiSurf

The minimum when doing online sales is to keep your stock up to date, to avoid telling customers, several days after the order, 'sorry this product is no longer available'

I am very satisfied with my skateboard order, but I am very angry about the delivery. I found the box behind the gate of my house, on the ground and under a downpour without even being warned. The box and the board were wet. This is really not normal.

Delivery in 48 hours absolutely not respected, but well valued on the site. I had bought for this speed of delivery but it turned out to be much longer than what is generally done. However, material in good condition, products conform. I would not recommend this site, the announcement of a delivery in 48 hours (working days) being a false promise (package dropped off at the carrier on Tuesday while ordered on Sunday plus delay from the carrier).

Hello Madam, I understand your disappointment and I am sorry. The Tour de France having passed through Bayonne, where our shipping center is located, some routes have been closed and some carriers could not pick up our packages. We make it a point to ship your orders as quickly as possible, delivery is usually one of the strong points of our brand. I hope you will have the opportunity to trust us again on your next order. I wish you a nice day and a good long weekend. Cécilia from HawaiiSurf

Bad customer service experience at Hawaii Surf
My board arrived defective, 7 days to finally have it picked up and the sending of another received 7 days later
It took 14 days to finally get the board
No commercial gesture was made despite the delays.
I do not recommend

Hello Sir, I understand your dissatisfaction regarding this board that had a quality defect from the brand. As soon as we had their agreement, a delivery person came to pick up the board according to your availability and we proceeded to send a new board as soon as the delivery person took charge of it. I am sorry for the delay caused, I hope this new board has brought you satisfaction. I wish you a nice day. Cécilia from Hawaiisurf

I managed to order. 2 weeks later I received an email saying that the model was no longer available in stock.
Moreover, the choice of the carrier GLS is not relevant. We don't know when they come.

Hello Sir, First of all, I would like to apologize for this anomaly. We had a computer problem that meant we were not aware of this stock error earlier, I am truly sorry. This anomaly has been reported to the relevant department so that it does not happen again. We processed the refund of your order as soon as we received your return and I see that you were able to reorder a new equivalent item.

I have ordered several times on the site, usually it's clean but this time I am very disappointed with the quality of the packaging. The box was just made for the size of a board (and it contained a board + a grip + 2 independent hollow trucks) so the grip was severely bent on the edges under the board, so once out of the box it is unusable, straight to the trash, the trucks pressed against the board left nice marks on the front of the board, very disappointed this time, not sure to order from you again.

I had requested to pay in installments and it didn't really happen, I was disappointed because it left me overdrawn on my bank account and I had to pay fees.

Nothing went well but knowing the brand since I was a child and given that I got nice stickers I remain kind... but nothing went well, due to a stock error I spent 3 weeks resolving the issue with them before receiving everything I ordered... but the customer service, although very slow and not reactive (weak), accompanied me without causing me harm. I would have liked a more involved customer service nonetheless especially for a large order like mine.

I received the board with a paint chip, I was told I would be refunded 10% and receive a 10% discount voucher for the next order. I received the 10% refund but never the discount voucher. Moreover, I did not find the paint chip in the packaging which means that the board was already packaged and sent damaged. In short, I am disappointed...
