Can I cancel my order once it is placed?
Once you have placed your order, you have up to 1 hour to cancel it. Please go through the following steps in order to do so:
- Go to the order confirmation email that we sent you when you placed your order
- Click on View Order Status.
- Click on Cancel Order
Please note that if you cancel your order, your selected Hoaka items will be back in our inventory for purchase. If you cancel an order and wish to reorder the same product, there might be a possibility that the product will already be out of stock. In that case, the product won’t be available for purchase until our next restock.
If it has been more than 1 hour, it is no longer possible to cancel your order. However, once you have received the item you can return it for a refund by following our return guidelines.
How long does it take for Hoaka to ship my order?
We try our best to ship all orders on the day of purchase but we cannot guarantee that it will be possible. Please note that it can take up to 5 business days before your order gets picked up by the shipping courier at our Blainville, Canada warehouse.
Can I change my order once it is placed?
If you have made a mistake while placing your order, it is sadly not possible to make any changes to the current order. In a case such as this the only way to modify it would be to cancel your order (you have up to 1 hour to cancel it). Please note that if you cancel your order, your Hoaka swimwear will be back in our inventory for purchase. If you cancel an order and wish to reorder the same product, there might be a possibility that the product will already be out of stock. In that case the product won’t be available for purchase until our next restock.
Please go through the following steps in order to cancel your order:
- Go to the email confirmation that we sent you when you placed your order.

I forgot to use my promo code
Unfortunately, our system does not let us apply a promo code after an order has been placed.
How should I take care of my Hoaka?
You should never use a washing machine to clean your Hoaka Swimwear nor should you tumble dry it. We recommend that you hand wash your garment after every swim session. Try to make sure that your swimwear is laid out flat to dry to prevent folds and wrinkles. In case folds or wrinkles do appear, you can iron your Hoaka, however just make sure to do so with a towel or another fabric on top of the swimwear as it is sensitive to heat.
We also do not recommend wearing your Hoaka in a spa or sauna since a temperature higher than normal could damage your swimwear. Please do not use sunscreen with alcohol as the alcohol can cause damage as well. We do not provide refunds for garments that were damaged due to not following the recommended instructions.
What is your base currency?
The base currency used on our website is the US Dollars.
How do I apply a promo code?
To apply a discount or promo code to your order:
- Place your order by adding the item(s) you want to Add to cart.
- When you reach the Payment Method page, enter your promo code in the “Discount” field and click Apply.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we deliver all around the world.
Are the custom duties included in the shipping price?
Canada : Our orders are shipped from Canada so you will not have to pay any custom duties or taxes.
United States : There will be no custom duties and taxes if your order is below 800 USD.
European Union : Your order will be shipped from our warehouse in Estonia so there will be no custom duties and taxes.
International : You may be liable to pay any inbound duties and taxes which your local customs authority deems appropriate. Payment of these fees is necessary to release your order from custom. Sadly we do not have any control over these fees, so we advise you to contact your local customs office for more information regarding the fees. The shipping carrier may also notify you in case your item is being held for duties and taxes.
If you decide to refuse the customs fee, the package will be returned to us, and the shipping and handling fees will be deducted from your refund.
What is the Local Pickup option?
The Local Pickup option allows you to order items and pick them up in person at the Hoaka Swimwear warehouse located in Blainville, Canada. This option was created to accommodate people leaving for holiday who need their Hoaka Swimwear faster.
However, our team has a lot of work to do and it is not very convenient for them. Please only select this option if you really need it urgently. Items are available for in-store pickup between 9AM - 4PM from Monday to Friday. You will receive an email once the order is ready for pickup. In order to receive your item, please bring your order confirmation with you which you received by email (you can also show it on your phone).
