December 2020 repairs fully booked
We have received a large volume of gear to fix at the moment, so repairs are fully booked and we are unable to take in any new work this month. We are working hard to be running as normal in January.
Happy to help
At Palm headquarters, our dedicated team offers prototyping, testing, repairs and servicing of all Palm gear. If you have a problem with any of our products, please contact customer services, and we’ll do our best to help.
Palm paddling gear is designed for use in a variety of conditions, but barbed wire fences, sharp rocks, and other hazards can all take their toll. If your Palm gear needs new seals or socks, has been torn, punctured, heavily worn, or otherwise damaged, then we offer an excellent in-house repair service and can easily fix most garments for a reasonable cost.
If you need a repair, then get in touch and send your gear to us (clean and dry) with a completed returns form. Standard prices are as indicated on the returns form, but if it will cost any more then we’ll let you know how much before we carry out the work.
If your Palm gear has developed a defect which is not due to misuse, overuse, or neglect, then we’ll take a look, and will repair or replace it at our discretion. Our 24 month warranty covers any failings in workmanship or materials (workmanship means stitching, seams, taping, etc. and materials means fabric and components).
Items should be returned to the shop that you bought them from, along with your proof of purchase. Our warranty only covers the product’s first owner. In some circumstances it may be difficult to return to the point of purchase, in which case you should post the item directly to us (clean and dry) with a completed returns form.
If your gear is more than two years old then it falls outside our standard warranty. However, we will still take a look and get back to you. If it has worn out due to fair wear and tear, then we offer a great repair service at a reasonable cost. We will let you know the cost before we carry out any repairs.
Items must be returned to the shop that you bought them from, along with your proof of purchase. In some circumstances it may be difficult to return to the point of purchase, in which case you should post the item directly to us (clean and dry) with a completed returns form.
