DELIVERY AND SHIPPING - FAQ
If there is something we care about at Watery, itβs a fast and secure delivery.
In 99.3% of the cases you get 3-5 days delivery, when you order within our daily pickup-deadlines. Weβre pretty proud of that (actually we believe weβre almost as fast at swimming your parcel over to you, as Michael Phelps is at finishing a 200 m butterfly)
Before you order, you can always easily see the expected delivery date on the product page, in your cart or at the payment. The day listed there is something that is actually held up at 98,2% of our orders.
Depending on what time of day you order, whether it being a weekday or weekend, and depending on which courier you select, it it can take 3-5 days for delivery.
To give you a brief overview, you can follow these examples, where we get our parcels picked up
Delivery with An Post:
- Home delivery to the door: Order before 3 PM on weekdays = Expected delivery within 3-5 days.
You can always use the tracking number to track your parcel - you will receive it on email shortly after we have finished packing your order. See the question βCan I trace my parcel?β to find out where your parcel is.
But human errors sadly also occur - both at our end, but also when it comes to our chosen couriers. It is just as terrible every time, but itβs difficult to avoid 100%. On our end it can be because we have slipped up at the warehouse, and donβt have the item in stock as we thought, and at out couriers it can be because they are extra busy, or because they lost the parcel. See the question βYou havenβt sent my parcel yetβ if you havenβt received a shipment e-mail from us yet, and see the question βMy parcel hasnβt moved in several days on the tracking linkβ, if you have received the tracking link, but nothing has happened there yet.
If you have received the shipment email with a message that your order has been packed, and containing the tracking link, your parcel has in most cases been handed over to the courier the same day. See βWhen will my parcel be deliveredβ to see pickup times for the different couriers.
But sometimes we must admit that they just arenβt as fast as we are, to get your parcel all the way to your door - and thusly, delays can occur - or, to just be perfectly honest in rare cases - your parcel has been lost.
Follow the procedure below, if your tracking link shows that it has been several weekdays since your parcel has moved
Thank you so much for your patience
If you have placed an order, but not yet received a shipment mail with the message that your order has been packed, and containing a tracking link, one of these two things can be the reason;
1. We havenβt packed your order yet - Less than 24 hours from order
We pack all of our orders every day, no matter the courier - every day of the year. So if you have ordered within the last 24 hours, it can simply be because we havenβt reached your order in the pile yet. But donβt worry - weβll get there, and there is probably no issues, so just hang tight.
2. We have made an inventory error - More than 24 hours from order
If it has been more than 24 hours from your order, and you have not yet received an email that it has been sent, sadly it can be because of a warehouse mistake regarding one or several of your ordered products. Weβre terribly sorry for this, and apologize, but when itβs people like you and me who handles the orders, receive the products and do the inventory, we canβt avoid errors on rare occasions. We hope you understand that, even if it only happens in 0,3% of our orders.
But if this is the case for your order, our warehouse will already the day after your order try to contact you by phone or email to figure out a solution with you, either with a different product, or by just sending what we have. If we canβt reach you weβll try to contact you again the next day. And if we canβt reach you here either, weβll send you what we have, and delete what is missing from your order, so you will still get your parcel delivered as fast as possible. Thusly none of our orders will be sitting for more than 48 hours unattended.
If you spot it yourself, youβre very welcome to contact our customer service for faster resolvement.
Again - weβre terribly sorry for the mistake!
You received your tracking number for your order in the "Your-package-has-been-shipped" email.
It looks like this:
Please be aware that depending on your chosen delivery method, it can take up to 48 hours before your package is registered with the distributor, so you might not always be able to track it immediately.
The tracking link will only display information once it's scanned at the shipping provider's terminal, not when it's picked up from us.
If you have your tracking number, you can easily and quickly track your package with your chosen carrier.
Speed and stability is vital for us at Watery, and our customers (everybody hates missing the swimming shoes in the suitcase on the holiday, because the parcel was lost β¦. Yep, weβve been there ourselves).
But with so many happy customers, unfortunately, we can't deliver the orders personally even though we'd like to, so we rely on the well-known postal and distributor services.
And as the next best option (besides ourselves), you can choose at Watery how you want your package delivered.
1. An Post - Home Delivery
These four providers have been longstanding partners with Watery and ensure quick and safe delivery in most instances.
When finalizing their order, customers have the flexibility to choose their preferred delivery partner.

If you could see us right now, we would be slamming our head in our desks.
Because of course thatβs a bloody terrible situation for you as a customer, and particularly terrible because we always check the quality of the products we send out of our warehouse - each and every one of them.
(luckily it only happens on very rare occasions, so you donβt have to worry about our heads too much)
But again - letβs fix it right away - quickly and easily to you (and of course free of charge for you).
It only requires 1 step for you (and we'll take care of the rest).
1. Please send an email to us at support@watery.ie, where you specify what is damaged/defective/smashed, along with a picture of the product and packaging.
2. We will respond to this email within 2 hours during our business hours with a message about sending the affected products again if approved and whether we require you to send the affected products back to us (this will be the case with products with a sales price over 25β¬).
You can have the new (and hopefully 100% intact) product(s) within one or two days. It's our way of saying sorry in a hurry."
If we wish for you to return the damaged/defective item(s), it should be done in the following way:
1. Retrieve your free return code/return label here and prepare the package for shipment by writing the 9-digit DHL return code on the outside of the package.
The worst thing that can happen when you were just looking forward to it. We are incredibly sorry about it. But yes, even though we have a large inventory with fast-swimming warehouse staff, mistakes happen in a small number of cases. We hope for your understanding.
But of course we must fix this as soon as possible - because thatβs our trademark.
Simple send us an email, or give us a call and tell us your order number, the name of the missing product - and if youβre extra helpful and wants to make the process lightning-quick, also a picture of the parcel (so we can see if itβs the courierβs handling of the parcel that has opened it, and let the product fall out).
Then we will with no further questions asked send you the missing product(s) right away, and you can receive it already by tomorrow :)
Internally we will obviously look into what has happened, so we can avoid this in the future.
Weβre known for extremely fast shipping. If you catch us at just the right time, meaning withing few minutes - almost as fast as Michael Phelps swam his 100m butterfly world record.
That sadly also mean that the time in which we can cancel or change your order, is relatively limited. But hurry up and contact us at quickly as possible, and hopefully it can be done before our warehouse packs and sends the order to you.
Please note that when you have received the mail βYour parcel from Watery.ie has started is swim to you!β, Itβs sadly not possible anymore. Because at this point it has often already been picked up by the courier, and on its way to you.
If we have already packed and sent your order, of course you can always return theo order after it has been received. Weβre here to help you.
You can easily send back your order after receiving it, in our return portal here
