We are in the market to buy Ocean Sleepwear sleeping bags. They are robust pieces of kit, so they should be in good condition. We understand that the bag might have your name on it and that's fine, but otherwise we assume that the bag is complete, in good condition and all zips are free and working. If this is not the case, please advise us so we can agree a price.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who pays for shipping costs & arranges collection?
We arrange and pay for Parcelforce to collect your bag (just wrap it up to protect it from damage in transit) from your designated mainland UK address. It is shipped using their tracked and insured courier service. If you live off mainland GB or in the highlands, there is an additional shipping charge which we will confirm before arranging collection.
Parcelforce will bring a sticky address label to affix to the package so make sure you wrap it in something a sticky label will stick to (i.e. not material)! The package is tracked and insured. Please make sure to retain proof of collection!

What if you consider the bag to not be as described?
This is very unusual, especially when you have provided photographs with your form submission. However, if this does happen, we will arrange a swift return of your bag (again, using Parcelforce) at our cost.
Why don't I just advertise it on your classified Ads page?
You can. You're very welcome to do that. A single item costs about £10 to list at the time of writing, We are simply offering you an alternative. A quick, easy, no hassle way of selling your bag. We almost always have a need for bags for our sleeping bag hire service.

Well, that's all fine and dandy, but what if you don't pay me!
Fair question. Well, I will - I promise. But I would say that, wouldn't I? Hmmm.
Well, I'm a former race skipper and a training skipper and I own a couple of small businesses. My reputation is very important to me. Also, you can always come and box my ears! I live at;
The Lodge
Church lane
Shrawley
Worcester
WR6 6TS.
This is also the shipping address for the bag. If you'd prefer a chat first, email me in the first instance by clicking here.
Why not just pay up front?
The reason is because if the bag is not as per spec when I receive it, it involves us both in a lot of time and squabbles over a few quid and it's not really feasible if I have to chase people for what might well be an honest misdescription, etc.
This way, if your bag is not as described, I undertake to send it back to you - at my cost - no harm, no foul.
And I pay for return shipping. Simple.

Do you buy bags from Europe or further afield?
We tend to find that shipping and customs costs make this uneconomic. If you can get the bag to us free of shipping and customs charges, then we are happy to buy it in the normal manner. If we find that the bag is not as described we ask that you pay the costs associated with its return.
Do you buy any other sailing kit?
Not at the moment. But you can quickly sell your sailing kit through our classified adverts page. Just click here.
