Shipping Policy: Damage During Delivery

At Blue Tuna Spearfishing, we take great care in packaging and handling your orders to ensure they arrive safely and in pristine condition. However, we understand that occasionally, despite our best efforts, items may be damaged during transit.

Responsibility for Damage: It is the responsibility of the buyer to purchase insurance to cover any potential losses or damages that may occur during shipping. While we strive to work with reliable shipping carriers, we cannot guarantee the handling of packages once they leave our facilities.

Insurance Options: We highly recommend that buyers consider purchasing shipping insurance to protect their investment. Shipping insurance provides coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged items during transit. Please contact your chosen shipping carrier or insurance provider for more information on available coverage options. Please contact us prior to ordering to purchase shipping insurance.

Claims Process: In the event that an item is damaged during delivery, it is the responsibility of the buyer to file a claim with the shipping carrier and/or insurance provider. We will assist buyers with providing any necessary documentation or information required for the claims process, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the buyer.

Inspection Upon Delivery: Upon receipt of your order, please inspect the packaging and contents carefully for any signs of damage. If you notice any discrepancies or damage, please document it thoroughly and contact us immediately. We will work with you to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Refunds and Replacements: Refunds or replacements for damaged items will be issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the shipping carrier and/or insurance provider. We will make every effort to facilitate a resolution that is satisfactory to all parties involved.

Questions and Assistance: If you have any questions or require assistance regarding our shipping policy or insurance options, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team. We are here to help and ensure that your shopping experience with us is a positive one.

Policy Revision: We reserve the right to revise or update our shipping policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be communicated to our customers via our website or other relevant channels.
