CWO Shipping Rates:

We send most orders out the day we receive them (Monday-Friday received by 2pm CST).  Now and then one gets delayed and so we have to make the official answer, "We ship all orders within 24-48 hours".  But really, Kalvey and crew in shipping are awesome so they still send them late and on Saturdays, but we have the "official answer" so nobody gets mad if that doesn't happen.  You'll receive a confirmation email when your order has shipped, and if there's any glitch we'll contact you ASAP.  Please note that most shippers (UPS, Post Office, FedEx) all have earlier cutoff times for overnight shipments.  So we can only guarantee next day if we receive the order by noon our time. 

               *Free shipping excludes oversized items such as kayaks, canoes, paddles & instructors.*
*Kayaks, Canoes, & Stand Up Paddle Boards all have a flat-rate shipping charge of $200 (Lower 48 states)*
*If you live someplace cool, Dave might drive it out to you and go kayaking.  It's been known to happen.*

CWO determines the most efficient shipping carrier for your order. Some carriers that may be used are: U.S. Postal Service (USPS), UPS or FedEx. Shipping charges may be subject to sales tax depending on the tax laws of the state the order is being shipped to.

CWO Store Pickup

Have your order shipped to Clear Water Outdoor and get FREE SHIPPING. Some restrictions apply. Packages won't sit outside your door if no one is home.  This only works if you happen to be in Lake Geneva.  If you are not in Lake Geneva, we wish you were because Lake Geneva is fantastic and we could all go kayaking together instead of reading about shipping.  

CWO Returns & Exchanges

OUR GUARANTEE:  Our 100% guarantee ensures that every item you purchase online or at our store meets your high standards or you can return it, period (so long as it's safe to do so).
With that said, we cannot accept returns of these items:
1. Swimsuits or Underwear because that would be gross.
2. Load-bearing climbing equipment because that would be unsafe.
3. Kayaks, Canoes, and Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP's) are subject to a 20% restocking fee (call for details).   

Within 30 Days of Original Purchase:  Clear Water Outdoor gladly accepts returns of unused, undamaged, or defective merchandise for a full refund. Refunds must be accompanied by the original receipt and will be made in the form of the original payment. If the original receipt is unavailable, we will make an exchange or issue a store credit based on the current selling price.   Kayaks, Canoes, and Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP's) are subject to a 20% restocking fee (call for details).

After 30 Days of Original Purchase:  Clear Water Outdoor will gladly make an exchange or issue a store credit for the current selling price.   Kayaks, Canoes, and Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP's) are subject to a 20% restocking fee (call for details).

To return an item: Just send it back (along with a copy or your receipt) to:
Clear Water Outdoor
Attn: Returns
744 W Main Street
Lake Geneva, WI  53147

Please include:
1.  Reason for the return
2.  If you would like a refund, repair, or exchange

If you threw away your receipt, don't panic, we still love you. Just also be sure to tell us these vitals:
1.  Name, Address, Phone Number
2.  Email Address
3.  When the purchase was made (and by whom if that's not you)
4.  Reason for the return
5.  Tell us if you would like a refund, exchange, or repair
6.  Your astrological sign. 
You don't really need to include your sign, but we want to make sure you're paying attention because without the above information we won't know what to do with your return and it will go in to the box of "We don't know what to do with this".  Brian freaks out when things are in that box so we like to avoid it if we can.  Seriously, sometimes he calls late at night in a panic asking if there is anything in the box.  "No BK, everything is fine. Go back to sleep".
