Our mission is to provide the best quality kayaks delivered to your door, at the cheapest price.
Capped Price Delivery on hard shell kayaks: Our business model means that you can get the best quality gear, delivered, for the same if not cheaper price than buying from a bricks and mortar store. Bay Sports caps the delivery price on your order, covering a portion of the true delivery cost, to enable all customers to enjoy affordable delivery.
The introduction of our Capped Price Delivery Service means you pay as little as $79 in NSW, VIC and QLD Metro areas for kayak delivery to your door! Our country and rural customers still enjoy capped price delivery service, refer to the table below or better yet, simply put your postcode into our Shipping Calculator on any product page to see the delivery cost to you.
*Refer to WA based delivery limitations. Accessories shipping times to WA will generally be toward the end of the Expected Delivery Time, given most are shipped from our major Sydney warehouse.
The displayed price is per kayak. However, if you purchase 2 or more kayaks in the same order, an automatic discount will be applied. If you select a quantity greater than 1, the shown price includes the delivery cost for that quantity. For remote locations, additional shipping charges may apply, and our team will contact you to discuss the details.
Delivery time frames provided are pretty accurate, but estimates. We book your courier promptly, and whilst it can appear the scheduled pick up date is not immediate, once your kayak is picked up our specialist couriers deliver it promptly (95% of kayaks are delivered within the Delivery Time Estimates shown in the table above).
Unforeseen delays. During peak periods or in case of events like flooding or mechanical breakdowns, there may be congestion in the delivery network, leading to extended delivery delays in some areas. Our team will notify you if there are any delays caused by the carrier. Rest assured, we will make every effort to get your order to you as quickly as possible.
Post Office Boxes. Unfortunately, we are unable to deliver to Post Office Boxes unless the item can fit in a satchel (Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large) weighing under 5kg. This is because Australia Post does not accept bulky items, and we utilise a variety of couriers, so Australia Post may not be the designated courier for your delivery area.
ORDER PICK UP INFORMATION
Bay Sports tries its best to ensure that as many models and colours of our products are available for pick up at each of our locations. Each product page has live inventory, and will show if the item is in stock at your preferred pick up location. Below is an example of how the stock availability is shown on our product page. If a product is not in stock at your closest location, it will not show up as an available location, and will show all other available locations as shown in example below:
Please note that there is a stock transfer fee for transferring kayaks between warehouses. The fee is based on the item's current location and the delivery destination. For example, if you request a stock transfer of a kayak from Sydney to Brisbane, the stock transfer fee will be displayed at the cart checkout when you finalise your order. The pricing is shown on each product page under Shipping Calculator.

Delivery will generally be sent to the local barge or freight terminal on the mainland. Bay sports will not be responsible for any onforwarding that may be required to get to the final destination.
Deliveries to regional and remote areas in any state or territory may fall outside our standard delivery fee and may require additional delivery charges which is at the discretion of Bay Sports or require delivery to a commercial premises or a depot only, due to the carrier limitations of delivering to a residential address. We will contact you and alert you if this is the case.
