Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an order?
Once you have found the item(s) that you wish to purchase, select the colour and size and select ‘Add’.
Review your order in ‘Your Basket’ section. If you have a discount/media code, you can apply your discount in this section. Select ‘Checkout’ once you are satisfied with your order.
You will then need to log in to your account. New users will need to create an account to proceed with their order.
Once logged in, you will need to confirm your delivery address and your preferred delivery option. Please note that the first order can only be delivered to the address shown on your bank statements. This verifies your details and helps to prevent any fraudulent transactions. After your first order you will be able to ship to an alternative address.
The Shopping Basket Summary is the final opportunity for you to check your basket and your delivery details, before entering your card details.
If you experience any issues when ordering, please call us on 020 3179 9777 or send us an email at mailorder@saltwater.net.
You can redeem your discount during online checkout. After selecting the size and colour of your item and adding it to your basket, you will be taken to a page with a box labelled ‘Discount Code’ at the bottom. Please enter your discount code or media code in this box and select ‘Amend Basket’. This will recalculate the cost of your order.
Each order can only have one discount applied to it.
