Oru Kayak return policy

30-day return window

Oru Kayak has a customer-friendly return policy to ensure that customers are satisfied with their purchase. Within 30 days of receiving the items, customers can initiate a return request for a refund. However, this policy only applies to items purchased directly from the Oru Kayak website and not from third-party distributors. The customer is responsible for the return shipping charges, and outbound shipping charges from the original order are not refunded. It's important to note that refurbished kayaks and gift cards are exempt from return. Additionally, items over 30 days old and damaged items due to misuse are not eligible for return. If a kayak is returned in good condition but has been used or the original packaging is missing, a restocking fee of up to 10% may apply. To initiate a return, customers need to complete a return request form on the Oru Kayak website, providing pictures and a brief explanation for the return. Once the return is approved, customers will receive a prepaid shipping label and guidelines for returning the items. The refund will be processed within 3 to 5 business days once the package is in transit.
