How much do I pay for shipping?
The cost for shipping your order depends on your location, the size of your order, and the service level you choose for shipping (Express vs. Standard). Our commitment to you is that we are 100% transparent with all international shipping costs, both in terms of shipping rates as well Landed Costs (i.e., duties and taxes/fees). There will be no hidden cost for you.

What shipping service levels do you offer?
Sharkbanz offers both Express and Standard + DDP shipping on most international routes, and at checkout you can choose which one you prefer. For a few selected remote areas only Express or Standard shipping may be available, but that is the exception. Together with our international shipping partner we will find the lowest shipping rate for you so that you pay as little as possible in shipping fees for your order while ensuring your order will be delivered to you by a high-quality, reliable carrier.

How are shipping rates calculated on orders?
Shipping rates are typically calculated based on the weight and dimensions of your order. They will also vary based on the service level you choose and your location.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?
The delivery time varies depending on the route/destination. Typically, it takes between 2-5 business
days for Express shipments to arrive. Standard shipments usually take between 6-14 business days. Note, these time ranges do not include any delivery delays due to customs clearance, extreme weather, or COVID-19.

Why do I pay duties and taxes?
Import duty is a tax collected on imports and some exports by a country's customs authorities. A good's value will usually dictate the import duty, and the duties also can vary by product category. Depending on the context, import duty may also be known as a customs duty, tariff, or import tariff. The duties are mandatory and must be paid, whether the fees are paid by the shipper or (as typically
is the case) by the customer/recipient. There are other factors besides the good's value that define the amount of duties to be paid, including trade agreements between countries as well as specific customs authorities. For example, some countries have minimum thresholds in terms of good's value below which no duties apply (AKA "de minimis" value).

In addition to duties, many governments levy a tax on imports. Like duties, import taxes are usually a percentage of the good's value. Also, some countries charge multiple taxes on the same good imported. For example, Canadian provinces charge a variety of taxes - from a goods and service tax (GST), to a harmonized system tax (HST), to a retail sales tax (RST), and some provinces charge multiple of these tax-types for the same import.

How do I pay duties/taxes?
Typically, you pay duties and taxes at checkout when you place your order. This way you not only see the total cost upfront before placing the order, but you also won’t have to pay again when the parcel is delivered to you. In a few instances, we may ask you to pay duties and taxes when the order is delivered to you at delivery because of a destination country requirement or it was not collected at the time of checkout.

All Sharkbanz users should be aware that sharks are wild animals and unpredictable. Sharkbanz have not been tested on all species of sharks. Sharkbanz will reduce risk of shark interactions but there is no 100% guarantee that interactions will not take place. There should never be any attempt to entice sharks to interact with humans, with or without Sharkbanz. Any human activity in the water near sharks must always be considered as possessing a considerable degree of risk which is assumed solely by the wearer.

It is important for us to be honest about what Sharkbanz technology can and can not do. Sharkbanz will reduce risk of shark interactions but there is no 100% guarantee that interactions will not take place. This technology has been tested extensively on over ten of the most common predatory shark species such as Bull and Blacktip, which are responsible for the majority of "hit and run" attacks, and Sharkbanz are an excellent defense against these types of attacks. Great Whites are unique in that they are the only shark that acts as an ambush predator, attacking from a long distance at high speed. There is no effective way to prevent this type of ambush attack.

Sharkbanz use strong magnets and should not be worn in conjunction with pacemakers, defibrillators, hearing aids, and other medical devices.

Strong magnets can pose a pinch hazard due to their attractive force on each other and to any metal object. They can jump out of your hands and snap to a metal object with surprising speed. Keep away from metal objects you do not want to attract.

Magnetic fields can cause damage to magnetic media, batteries, and electronic devices, especially over extended periods of time. Keep Sharkbanz a minimium of 12 inches (30 cm) from any electronic devices, batteries, computers, cellphones and credit cards.

Sharkbanz should be kept out of the reach of children under five (5), and use for children older than five (5) should be supervised for proper use.

Sharkbanz should not be subjected to heat exceeding 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Excessive heat will result in permanent damage to the band and to the magnets and will not be covered under warranty.

Magnets are flammable and exposure to heat could result in igniting a fire or creating toxic fumes. Sharkbanz should be kept out of direct sun in cars or next to windows.

Users should never tamper with the Sharkbanz device and should not attempt to directly access the enclosed magnet. Doing so may result in injury and will invalidate any warranty on the product.

User acknowledges that Sharkbanz are a deterrent to shark interactions and that there is NO GUARANTEE of zero shark interactions. Sharkbanz use strong magnets and should not be worn in conjunction with pacemakers and defibrillators. Keep Sharkbanz a minimum of 12 inches from any batteries, computers, cellphones and credit cards. User assumes all risk. User holds Mano LLC and Sharkbanz harmless from all claims of injury or damage of any kind, be it personal or property. Please see additional safety infomation on our website at Sharkbanz.com
