Our aim is to get your order processed and dispatched within two business days. Orders placed before 1:00 pm will be processed the same day.Personalised items will increase your delivery time by up to 8 working days, and your full order will be dispatched together (even non-personalised items), so make sure you order with plenty of time to spare!

Discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with any Black Friday discount. Our Black Friday offers and discounts are larger than ‘regular’ codes, so there is no benefit to using other discount codes during our Black Friday sale. Following Black Friday, you will be able to use any discount codes you may have as normal.

No, Student and Key Worker discounts will be temporarily invalid during Black Friday. Our Black Friday sale will have bigger discounts than if you use either of these discounts, so there’s little benefit to using them during the sale.

Student and Key Worker discounts will be valid once the Black Friday sale has finished. 

You can! Gift cards are still valid during our Black Friday sale, just enter the information at checkout once you’re happy with what’s in your basket. 

For all orders placed between 22nd November to 31st December 2024, we will extend our returns policy so that you have 60 days to obtain an exchange or refund.

All other parts of the standard returns policy remain unchanged.

If you are gifting items and wish to send a gift receipt to the recipient, you can do so by selecting “send gift receipt” at checkout. The gift receipt will be sent to you for you to then forward to the recipient and they will be able to exchange the gift in the future if required.

We understand that sales can sometimes happen right after a purchase, but unfortunately, we are unable to refund the difference in price for orders placed before the Black Friday sale. Sales and promotions are time-limited and unpredictable, and prices are determined at the time of purchase. We appreciate your understanding, as this policy helps us manage promotions fairly for all customers.

So, you’ve been gifted something from Dock & Bay and want to exchange it with something else…no worries at all! We understand that even with all of love and care that has been put into this gift, it might not have been that special item you’ve been eyeing up, and that’s just fine. 

Lucky for you, we’re here to help. We’ve been working on something to help make exchanging your gift as easy as can be. There are a few steps, but it’ll be worth it…

1. The most important part of the process is the order number, without this we won’t be able to make the exchange. This part may be the hardest, as it’ll take a little snooping, but you’ve got this. Once you have the order number, please email your exchange request to help@dockandbay.com.
2. As soon as we receive the order number, we can help with a returns process for the item. If it’s a like-for-like item, we will simply swap it for you.
3. If you are wanting to swap the item for something completely different on our website, we can provide a gift code in exchange for the return. With this code, you can finally get that Beach Towel, Bath Towel, Picnic Blanket, Poncho, Dog Towel, Hair Wrap, Cooling Towel, Tea Towel, Kids Towel, Bathrobe, Wash Mitt, Makeup Remover, Tote Bag, Makeup Headband *tries to catch breath* that you’ve always wanted.
4. Please note, we cannot issue a refund as this will be refunded to the card the purchase was made with, which would alert your gifter.

WARNING: Due to this process, there is always a chance that the original purchaser may get notified. However, our team will work incredibly diligently to make sure that does not happen.

Personalised items are non-refundable, even if you make a mistake, so please double triple check everything is perfect before placing an order!

If you receive a product which isn’t up to standard, please get in touch via our contact us page, and include your order number, a short description and some photos, so our team can sort this for you.

If you have placed the order on Amazon or purchased it in one of our retailers, please get in touch with them to arrange a replacement or refund.

We have a no quibbles 30 day return policy, so please get in touch if you'd like to send back an unwanted item for a refund.

We hold our products to the highest quality standards, because you deserve the very best. If your product is less than perfect within the first 6 month of use (including rips, tears, discolouration, colour runs) then we’ll get it replaced, free of charge.

Our guarantee does not cover issues caused by general wear-and-tear, such as staining.

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. Ew. 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.

But don't take it from us, you'll probably think we are biased. Try them yourself! With our 12 month warranty, you don't have anything to lose.

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

Our stripy range (so Cabana, Summer and seasonal designs) and the Essential towels are all made from the same material, 100 recycled and planet friendly!

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 odours 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.

All ponchos are designed to be slightly baggy making it easier to change under. The below is a rough guideline:

• Size 6 to 14 - Medium
• Size 14+ - Large

Stains can always be tough on white but after a few cool washes, our towels are able to be washed on a higher heat up to 60 degrees. That, coupled with a good stain lifting powder, should leave your towels sparkling. ✨🌈

The essentials for taking care of your Dock & Bay are:

• Cold machine wash (under 30 degrees). After the first few washes it's ok to turn up the heat.
• The pouches are hand wash only and should not go in the washing machine.
• Don't mix your white shirt or dress with a coloured towels (or coloured anything), it can lead to tears! We also recommend not washing our stripy towels and block colour towels in the same wash. Just to be on the safe side!
• Try not to use fabric softener, as over time it can reduce the absorbency of the towel. Using fabric softener will not destroy your towel the first time it is used, but over time, it can degrade the performance of your product, and we want it to last as long as possible for you!
• Do not bleach, or put near fire or hot implements.
• Tumble drying is ok if you need to, but air-drying is kinder to our products.

When the towel is new, we recommend that you follow the fold lines that are already in it, to use as a guide. Hopefully you'll pick up the technique quickly!

We have a handy little video over on our TikTok which should help! But, if you're having any trouble, just get in touch with via our contact us page for more information.

• Small: 100x50cm, 250g and packs into a 20x11cm pouch
• Large: 160x90cm, 380g and packs into a 26x15cm pouch 
• Extra Large: 200x90cm, 475g and packs into 30x16cm pouch
• Cooling: 69x33cm, 100g
• Hair Wrap: 63x29cm - one size fits all!

All these details and more can be found on the size guide on our product pages.
