PRE-ORDERS

A “pre-order’ allows you to reserve our stock before it’s scheduled release date. These products will be marked with a ‘pre-order’ tag and will be available to hold for a future ship date.

To reserve a product marked with the “pre-order” tag, simply add the item and required quantity to your shopping cart. You can pre-order an item on site up until the 15th October for guaranteed stock. After placing your order, you will receive an email confirmation containing an order reference number.

Product Information

Other 'quick dry' towels that we've used in the past haven't been so effective. They tend to have quite a rough texture and feel horrible on any patches of dry skin. Then when you try to dry yourself down, the towel becomes slimy. Not fun. That's why we've come in to completely change the game.

Our towels feel totally different to what you might expect from a Quick Dry. In fact, we even get customers emailing in saying they aren't sure of the soft, smooth material and whether it'll be effective. We always reply with 'use the towel... trust us, you will love it!' and they do.

Dock & Bay towels are packed full of features which are simply down to how they are made. We can guarantee that they are quick-dry, super absorbent, smooth against the skin, sand-free (it brushes right off!), compact for travel and easy to care for and best of all they're made from 100% recycled materials.

Absolutely nothing! Ok, not quite nothing, but they are all pretty similar!

All our products are made from 100% recycled or biodegradable materials. There is a slight difference in texture between the beach towels and the home towels, however they all have the same amazing benefits!

Our magic cooling towels are infused with jade stone to keep you cool for up to 6hrs (even through those sweaty workouts!).

All of our terrific towels are sand-free, they are quick drying, super-absorbent, they won't hold on to any nasty odors and they pack down into a cute compact pouch for travel.

All of these towels )not to mention the Hair Wraps and Ponchos) feel super soft and smooth against the skin, and no, they don't feel like the microfibre cloths you might have in your cleaning cupboard.

Sorry to hear that! If you have goods that are damaged you must let us know via email withan image of the issue at sales@dockandbay.com within 7 days of receiving your order.

Please keep all goods in the original packaging as these will be uplifted and returned to our warehouse. The items will be QC inspected once they arrive back at our warehouse and a credit will be issued to your account once the details of the damage have been verified.

However, we do not take responsibility for any goods transported via third party carriers.

It’s a one-time customer set up. Let us know if you’re interested and we will send over a secure link for you.

Then simply enter your bank account details online and we will collect payments by Direct Debit on your invoice due date. This is great for customers on terms or any who have selected a ‘future ship date’.

Yes, GoCardless is 100% secure and your details or data will never be shared.

GoCardless stores your payment details to allow for easy recurring payments. If you don’t want this to happen, simply drop us an email at sales@dockandbay.com and one of our team will be able to cancel this for you and remove your details from the system.

Please notify us of this 3 working days before the charge date. This is the cut off point where payments are submitted to the banking system for processing and so can no longer be cancelled.

If the order has not yet shipped or been charged, please contact us at sales@dockandbay.com and we can cancel the upcoming payment.

If the order has not yet shipped but you have been charged, please contact us ASAP and we can pause the shipment and refund any payments. Payments can take up to 3 days to be cleared so we will be able to cancel this payment.

Unfortunately we need 3 days notice to cancel payments but we are happy to discuss how best we can help you.

Payment will be taken on the invoice due date and takes 3 days to clear. Once it clears, the order will ship out. If you are looking for an immediate delivery date, we recommend using a credit or debit card to pay for the order. 

Please note, stock cannot be reserved until the payment has cleared. If you have any queries about this or would like to update your invoice to show in-stock items only, please contact us at sales@dockandbay.com and we can get this updated for you.

If you’d like to change your details, drop us an email at sales@dockandbay.com and we will cancel your current Direct Debit authorisation and send over a new payment authorisation form for you to enter your new bank details.

If a payment fails, the order will not ship. We are notified of payment failures so we can contact you about your options. GoCardless will not retry the payment automatically, this has to be authorised by ourselves.
