How to Order ?

If it is your first order, please start with creating a customer account, and follow the steps below:

1 / Fill your basket :

To place an Order on our site, simply fill up your order basket. The availability of each item is clearly indicated on each product sheet. Once your basket filled you can consult it and modify its content at will.

2 / Choose the delivery method and validate your basket:

Before proceeding to the next step you must choose between delivery to the address of your choice or free pick-up at our depot in St Nazaire (44). Please note that our depot is only open to the public from Monday to Saturday between 10am and 7pm. Once you have made this choice you can confirm your order.

3 / Enter your profile information and add any special order comments:

Indicate your billing address, and that of delivery if it is different.

4 / Check one last time the contents of your order, the mode of delivery (it is still time to change if necessary), choose your payment method (CB or bank transfer), accept our Terms and Conditions, then click on ” order ”

5 / Pay the Order

  • with Credit Card: note that the debit is made on the Order (and not at the departure  of the goods from our warehouse) and that the site does not accept payments by American Express. Payments are of course 100% secured by Société Générale.
  • with Credit card in 3 installments : our partner PLEDG allows you to pay your orders in 3 installments from 150€ of purchase. For more information, please refer to our terms and conditions.
  • by Bank Transfer: using the GONG bank details that are available to you when you choose this payment method. Your Order will be processed upon receipt of your transfer to our bank account.

If you encounter any issues please refer to the PAYMENT section below.

For your next orders, login to your customer account.

For Orders that follow (login to your User account)

It’s the same process as above but by connecting in advance into your User Account.

The fields concerning your profile will appear like magic and you will be able to modify them if necessary.

Product availability

The availability of products is directly visible on their description page. They can be: In Stock, Available for Pre-Order, or Out of Stock.

In the case of products with variants (size or color for example) consider choosing the variant you want to check the presence in stock or the date of availability.

  • When the product is in stock, the mention ” item in stock, shipping in 3 working days ” appears on its description page. This means that the equipment is physically in our premises in St Nazaire (44) and that it can either be delivered to you according to our usual deadlines or be picked up directly from our Show-Room.
  • When the product is on Pre-Order, its availability date is indicated on its descriptive page, the indicated date is the due delivery to our warehouse. The product is then in transit between our manufacturing plants and our St Nazaire warehouse (44). When you Pre-order a product, you have the assurance of having this product from the arrival of the container. Note that the payment of Pre-Orders takes place when placing your order, and not when the goods are received. You can also choose to wait for the arrival in stock of the product to order but it is not uncommon that some references are all sold at the arrival of a container which then backs up your possibility of acquisition.
  • “Out of Stock” on a product page means that all items in this reference are already sold or pre-ordered. As soon as the next arrival date will be known these items will be switched to pre-order. If you enter your email address to register on the waiting list of this product, you will be automatically notified by mail when it will be possible to place an order again. Be aware, first come, first serve 😉

We have deliveries of containers several times a week/month.

 

Shipping Costs

The Shipping Fees for your Order are calculated as accurately as possible, depending on the weight and volume of the packages that comprise it, and your delivery address.

To find out the amount of shipping costs associated with an item, simply put the item in your shopping cart and consult it. Please note that if you are not logged in to your customer account, you will only have access to an estimate which will be updated when you enter your delivery address.

The amount of the shipping costs is a “generic” term, which includes all the costs related to the processing and delivery of your order: processing of the order, control and packaging of the items, shipping by carrier.

We ship worldwide, however, for some items (rigid boards and fixed paddles) we are not able to offer attractive rates to certain destinations. If you require these items, please contact our export department and also contact a forwarding agent for a quote.

We also offer you the possibility of not paying shipping costs by picking up your order directly at our warehouse in St Nazaire (44). By choosing the ”pick up at the GONG depot” rather than a ”delivery to the address of your choice” when placing your order, the material will be put at your disposal in our premises. Showroom pick-up times are Monday to Saturday, between 10am and 7pm. When your order is ready to be collected, you will receive an email informing you of this. Your order will be kept for three months from the date the last product in your order is made available.

Any customs duties and other costs related to the import of the goods will be invoiced by the carrier who will contact you for payment.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to find out about the duties and taxes applicable to the delivery address.

Please note that in case of refusal to pay these costs, the return of the goods to our warehouses will be at your expense.

Payment

Your online payments are secured by Atos Origin.

This involves a more complex procedure for you but it is the guarantee of maximum protection of your data.

The payment method:

  • We only work with Credit Card or Bank Transfer s that you may save time.
  • On the shop online, when placing your Order you choose to pay by CC or Transfer. The exchange is immediate. If you choose to settle your Order by Bank Transfer, you have 5 days to do this before your order will be canceled, and the products put back in stock.
  • On our side we start the process for the preparation of the Order, Invoicing and Delivery, as soon as we’ve confirmed the validity of your payment.

Failure during payment:

Payment may fail for many reasons. Here are the most common ones:

  • the billing address contains a special character
  • the selected currency is not Euro
  • Your phone number is not in the right format (e.g. +33+3306XXXXX)
  • Credit Card not accepted by the site: American Express cards, Electron cards for example.
  • you made a mistake while entering the information online.
  • you do not have the phone with which your bank sends the confirmation code that you have to enter on the payment interface.
  • The internet connection has crashed during your banking operation.
  • you have taken too long to enter the information.

There are many reasons for it to get stuck.

In all cases of “freezing”: It’s NOT a problem! We’re here to help you and in any case it will be fine. Our open Forum testifies to this. Keep Calm.

If the payment is not made you will find your Order in your customer area to try again. Attention, the material is not reserved for you until we have received a valid payment CC or information of the site indicating your desire to pay us by Bank Transfer

  1. a. Residency Abroad: You must reside outside the European Union or in an overseas territory with tax refund eligibility.

Tracking your Order

When the payment of your Order by CC is validated or that you validate your payment by transfer, the material is reserved for you and taken out of our computer stock (that it is available immediately or in pre-order). You will receive an email to inform you.

You will then be notified by email with each change of status of your order and will thus know at any time where is the treatment of this one.

Transport

GONG-GALAXY works with the best transport providers to deliver to you anywhere in Europe and around the world in a very short time. 80% of your orders arrive at your destination after less than 48 hours of treatment.

Delivery of your orders is ensured by different carriers depending on the items ordered and their respective size:

  • The rigid Surf Boards, Kite, Foil or SUP are delivered by a specialized carrier who contacts you by mail and SMS before making the delivery. It is you who organizes with them the appointment for your delivery to be sure to be present to check the condition of the goods. In mainland France these deliveries are made within 3 days of their departure from our warehouse (except in the case of Islands and some resorts more difficult to access in high season).
  • The Inflatable Boards and the bulky accessories are delivered by express specialists (DPD / TNT) which propose by SMS a time slot for delivery and the possibility to change it. In the majority of cases these shippings are made in less than 48 hours (except Corsica).
  • Small accessories are shipped by post to Colissimo in 48 / 72h.

Whatever the service provider used, no margin is made on transport costs by GONG SUP 1.

We chose these companies for their quality of service and their respect of deadlines. Despite our requirements, hazards can occur. The transportation of products, especially large ones, involves risks of breakage. The problems are rare and the Insurance is based off a fixed sum.

We strongly advise you to unpack the material received in the presence of the deliveryman for a detailed inspection. In case of dispute, follow the claim procedure of the carrier and must make a written claim in RAR within 48 hours to the carrier. All product returns are the responsibility of the customers. The transfer of responsibility for the product takes place from our loading dock. In case of transport damage, contact us so that we can assure you the best follow-up and service.

  • Whatever your decision, you must post a registered letter with acknowledgment of Receipt of Letter to the attention of the carrier within a maximum of 48 hours, simply indicating the condition of the material (as on the delivery note) and your refusal or no merchandise. Without this mail, we would not be able to open a dispute with the carrier and offer compensation.
