Do I need an account to place an order?
No. You can place an order as a guest. Creating an account may make it easier to view your order history and manage your account information.
Is SEX PADDLE a UK company?
Yes. SEX PADDLE is operated by Boutique Design Gift Ltd, a company registered in the United Kingdom. We serve customers in multiple countries and regions through an international sourcing, production, and fulfillment network.
Does being a UK company mean every order ships from the UK?
No. Our company is registered in the United Kingdom, but our products are sourced, produced, and fulfilled through an international network. Depending on the product, stock availability, production requirements, and destination, an order may be dispatched from an international fulfillment location, including locations in Asia.
What payment methods do you accept?
Available payment methods may include:
- Visa & Mastercard credit and debit cards
- American Express
- PayPal
- Other secure payment methods displayed at checkout
Available payment options may vary depending on your country, currency, device, and checkout configuration.
Is it safe to enter my payment details on your website?
Yes. Our website uses SSL / HTTPS encryption. Payments are processed through secure payment providers and ecommerce infrastructure, including Shopify and supported payment processors. SEX PADDLE does not normally store your complete payment card details directly on our own servers.
What will appear on my bank statement?
Your payment statement descriptor may vary depending on the payment provider and payment method used. We aim to keep payment and order information discreet wherever possible.
Are there any additional customs or import fees?
Depending on your destination and the origin of the shipment, customs duties, import taxes, VAT, or other local charges may apply. These charges are determined by local authorities and are generally the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise stated at checkout.
Where are SEX PADDLE orders shipped from?
SEX PADDLE works with an international network of sourcing, production, fulfillment, and logistics partners. Depending on the product, stock availability, production requirements, and destination, orders may be dispatched from different international fulfillment locations, including locations in Asia.
Being a UK-registered company does not mean that every order is dispatched from the United Kingdom. Tracking information will be provided after your order has been shipped.
Do you ship discreetly?
Yes. Orders are shipped in plain, discreet packaging without product descriptions or adult content displayed on the outside of the parcel. We understand that privacy is particularly important for the products we sell.
Which countries do you ship to?
We serve customers in multiple countries and regions, including:
- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
- 🇺🇸 United States
- 🇨🇦 Canada
- 🇦🇺 Australia
- 🇪🇺 European Union
- And many other international destinations
Availability of shipping services may depend on the destination, product type, and local delivery restrictions.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are typically processed within 3–7 business days. After dispatch, shipping usually takes approximately 5–14 business days.
Estimated delivery time therefore consists of processing time + shipping time. Delivery may occasionally take longer because of customs clearance, carrier delays, local delivery conditions, severe weather, or peak shipping periods.
How can I track my order?
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email containing your tracking number where tracking is available. Tracking information may take some time to update after the parcel enters the carrier's network.
In some destinations, your parcel may be transferred to a local postal or delivery partner for final delivery.
Does my order require a signature?
A signature may be required for certain orders, destinations, or shipping services, but not every parcel requires a signature. Final delivery requirements are determined by the carrier and local delivery provider.
My order hasn't arrived — what should I do?
If your order has not arrived within the estimated delivery window, please check the tracking information first. If your tracking has not updated or you believe your parcel may be delayed or lost, contact us at service@sexpaddle.com with your order number and we will assist you.
Can I return a product?
You may request a return within 30 days of receiving your order. Eligible products should generally be unused, unopened, undamaged, and in their original packaging.
Please contact service@sexpaddle.com before returning any product. Because we use an international fulfillment network, the correct return address may vary depending on the order.
Can I return an opened or used product?
Due to the intimate and personal nature of many SEX PADDLE products, opened or used products generally cannot be returned unless there is a confirmed defect, damage, incorrect item, or another situation covered by applicable consumer protection law.
In some non-quality situations, we may choose to offer store credit as a goodwill solution. Eligibility and the amount offered will depend on the individual circumstances.
What if I received a damaged, defective, or incorrect item?
Please contact us as soon as reasonably possible after receiving the item. We recommend notifying us within 7 days of delivery so that we can investigate quickly.
Email service@sexpaddle.com with your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photos or video where appropriate.
Once confirmed, we may provide a refund, replacement, partial refund, or another appropriate resolution depending on the circumstances.
How long does a refund take?
Once a refund has been approved and initiated by SEX PADDLE, it will normally be returned to the original payment method where possible. The time it takes for the funds to appear in your account depends on your bank, card issuer, or payment provider.
Who pays for return shipping?
Customers are generally responsible for return shipping costs for change-of-mind returns unless otherwise required by applicable law. For confirmed defective, damaged, or incorrect items, SEX PADDLE will cover reasonable return or replacement shipping costs where applicable.
Are your sex paddles and BDSM products safe?
Our products are selected with material quality, construction, intended use, and customer safety in mind. Product materials vary by item and may include leather, silicone, wood, synthetic materials, metal, or other materials described on the individual product page.
Always inspect a product before use, follow the product information provided, communicate clearly with your partner, establish boundaries and safe signals, and stop use immediately if a product appears damaged or unsafe.
How do I choose the right sex paddle?
Consider factors such as:
- Material: different materials can create different levels of flexibility, weight, sting, and impact.
- Size: larger paddles usually distribute impact across a broader area, while smaller paddles offer more targeted contact.
- Experience level: beginners may prefer lighter, more flexible, and easier-to-control products.
- Handle and grip: choose a product that feels comfortable and secure to control.
If you need help choosing a product, contact us at service@sexpaddle.com.
Are your products suitable for beginners?
We offer products for different experience levels, including beginner-friendly impact play products as well as products intended for more experienced users.
Check the individual product description for information about material, size, flexibility, weight, and intended experience level.
How do I clean and care for my products?
- Leather: gently wipe clean according to the care instructions for the specific leather product and allow it to dry naturally.
- Silicone: where suitable for the specific product, clean with warm water and mild soap and dry thoroughly.
- Wood: wipe clean with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth unless the product instructions state otherwise. Avoid prolonged soaking.
Always follow the care instructions provided for the individual product, as construction and materials may vary.
Will my privacy be protected?
Yes. We take customer privacy seriously and handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Information is shared only where reasonably necessary to operate our store, process payments, fulfill and deliver orders, provide customer support, prevent fraud, or comply with applicable law.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full details.
