SHIPPING & DELIVERY
We want your Chula order to arrive as smoothly as possible. Below you’ll find information about fulfillment, delivery issues, customs, delays, and how to make sure your shipping address is entered correctly.
SHIPPING & FULFILLMENT
Chula uses a dropshipping fulfillment model for certain products. This means your order may be produced, packed, and shipped directly through one of our fulfillment partners.
Because products may be fulfilled from different locations, items within the same order may occasionally arrive in separate packages.
Tracking information will be provided when available so you can follow your order once it has shipped.
LOST OR DAMAGED ORDERS
What if my order gets lost or damaged in the mail?
If your order has not arrived, or if it arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible at info@chulasurf.com.
Please include your order number and any relevant photos or delivery information so we can review the situation.
We will do our best to assist you and work toward a satisfactory solution.
For additional information regarding returns or damaged items, please review our Return Policy.
CUSTOMS & DUTIES
Will I be charged customs fees?
For orders delivered within the United States, customs duties and import-related fees are covered by Chula, so customers should not be required to pay additional import charges.
For destinations outside the United States, this is also usually the case.
However, in rare situations, customers in certain locations may be required to pay customs duties, taxes, or related fees upon delivery due to local regulations.
These requirements are determined by local authorities and may change over time, so Chula is unable to provide a fixed list of destinations where additional charges may apply.
DELIVERY DELAYS
What should I do if delivery takes longer than expected?
We do our best to help ensure Chula orders arrive within the expected delivery timeframe.
Delivery estimates are based on current shipping routes and recent logistics performance. Occasionally, delays may occur due to circumstances outside of our control, including:
-
Customs clearance
-
Severe weather
-
Peak-season shipping volume
-
Carrier disruptions
-
Local delivery conditions
If your order is delayed beyond the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us at info@chulasurf.com.
We will review the available tracking and shipping information and work with you to help resolve the situation.
