Delivery and tracking
How long does delivery take?
We ship on Mondays and Thursdays. After that, delivery usually takes: the Netherlands the next business day, Belgium and Germany 1 to 2 business days, the rest of the world about 4 business days. Pre-orders have their own delivery time, which you can find on the product page.
How do I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you'll get an email with a tracking link. It shows where your parcel is and when it will be delivered. With FedEx tracking you can often change the delivery date or address while your parcel is on its way. Didn't see the email? Check your spam folder.
My parcel hasn't moved for days. What now?
Check the tracking first: it shows the latest status. If it really differs from the delivery times above, let us know with your order number. We'll look into it with the carrier.
Report it via contact →It says delivered, but I haven't received anything
Ask your neighbours and check the pickup point. The tracking often shows who signed for it. Still nothing? Let us know and we'll look into it with the carrier.
Report it via contact →Which carrier do you use?
We ship worldwide, with FedEx. If you choose a pickup point, your parcel goes with PostNL in the Netherlands and Belgium, and with DHL in Germany.
Can I have it delivered to a pickup point?
Yes. In the Netherlands and Belgium you choose a PostNL point at checkout, and in the United Kingdom a FedEx pickup point. In Germany, enter a DHL Packstation or Postfiliale as your delivery address.
When is shipping free?
The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Spain and Portugal: from €150. Other European countries, the United Kingdom and Switzerland: from about €250. The United States, Canada and the rest of the world: from €300. Australia and New Zealand: from €350. Below those amounts, you will see the shipping costs at checkout, before you pay.
Is the packaging discreet?
Always. Your order comes in a plain box without the SHOSU logo. The shipping label shows Show Support B.V. as the sender, not SHOSU. If you pay by card or iDEAL, your statement will show SP S AMS. With PayPal or Klarna, you'll see the name of that payment service.
How much does shipping to my country cost?
You'll see the shipping costs at checkout as soon as you enter your address, before you pay. We pass on exactly what FedEx charges us, with no mark-up. And above a certain amount, shipping is free.
Customs and import duties
Do I have to pay import duties?
Not within the EU. Outside the EU, import duties, local VAT or clearance fees may apply. These are for your own account and are not included in the shipping costs at checkout.
I got an invoice from FedEx. Is that right?
Yes. FedEx handles customs clearance, pays the costs up front for you and then sends you a separate invoice. So that email from FedEx is genuine.
Question about your FedEx invoice →My parcel is stuck in customs
Sometimes customs or FedEx asks for extra details before your parcel can continue. Send us the message you received and we'll help you further.
Send us the message →Ordering and payment
Which payment methods do you accept?
Credit card, iDEAL | Wero, Bancontact, Klarna, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and bank transfer. In some countries also local payment methods, such as Bizum, BLIK, MB WAY, MobilePay and Satispay. Which ones you see depends on your country.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes. You can cancel it yourself up to 24 hours after ordering, and no later than 9:00 am on the next business day, when we start packing. Use the cancel button on your order status page; the link is in your order confirmation. After that, you can withdraw from your purchase.
Withdraw from purchase →Can I still change my address or order?
Let us know as soon as possible. Once your parcel has shipped, it's often no longer possible. We only combine orders in exceptional cases.
Request a change →A product is sold out. Will it come back?
That depends on the product. We make pre-orders in a run that matches the number of orders. Ask us and we'll tell you what we know.
Ask us →How old do I have to be to order?
18 or older. This is also stated in our terms and conditions.
Pre-orders
How does a pre-order work?
We have each pre-order made specially: the production run matches the number of orders. The product page shows until when you can order and when we expect to deliver. You will always get an email from us before we ship.
Until when can I place a pre-order?
Up to and including the end date on the product page. That whole day counts everywhere in the world, whatever time zone you are in.
When will my pre-order arrive?
The expected delivery time is on the product page. We'll keep you posted as soon as there is news about production.
Ask about your pre-order →I ordered other products with it. When will they arrive?
If you order a pre-order together with other products, we ship everything in one go, together with the pre-order.
How does paying in two parts work?
For some pre-orders you pay 50% when you order and the other 50% just before we ship. We will email you about it in advance.
Question about your payment →Can I cancel a pre-order?
Yes, as long as production hasn't started. You'll get back what you paid. After that, a pre-order is final, because we have it made especially for you.

What is an SPH?
A soft inner tube with a dual-action valve. You decide how it feels: pump in air for more pressure, or fill it with warm water for a warm sensation.
Tips for your SPH →How soft is the PVC?
The softer, the better. When an inflatable needs thicker PVC for extra strength, we make the material extra soft. The thickness and softness are listed in the specifications of each product.
Read more about softness →Which size should I choose?
Wearables have a size chart on the product page. A bodysuit shapes itself to your body as you inflate it. If you want a tighter fit, choose the smallest size that suits you.
Help with your size →How firmly should I inflate my inflatable?
Until it's firm, not until it's tight. Over-inflating puts strain on the seams. Also keep it away from heat, such as direct sunlight or a heater.
Which lubricant can I use?
Only use water-based lubricant with our products.
How do I keep my inflatable looking good?
Clean it after use and let it dry completely before you store it. The guide takes you through it step by step.
Read the care guide →Do you make custom products?
We don't do personal custom work. But we read every idea for new products. Got a business project, such as large inflatables for an event? Then we'll put you in touch with Show Support, the company behind SHOSU.
Share your idea →Returns and warranty
Can I return something?
Yes. You have 14 days to change your mind after receiving your order. We deliver all our products sealed; for hygiene reasons, a product can only be returned if that seal hasn't been broken.
Read the returns policy →How do I withdraw from my purchase?
Via "Withdraw from purchase" at the bottom of every page. You get a confirmation by email straight away, even without an account. Then send the product within 14 days to SHOSU Amsterdam (Show Support B.V.), A. Hofmanweg 34C, 2031 BL Haarlem, the Netherlands. Return shipping is at your own cost; preferably send it with tracking.
Withdraw from purchase →When will I get my money back?
Within 14 days after you withdraw, including the standard shipping costs. We may wait until the product has arrived back with us, or until you show that you have sent it.
Ask about your refund →My product is defective or damaged. What now?
We're sorry to hear that! Report it via contact and add photos straight away: the whole product inflated, the defect close up and, for a leak, the spot itself. We'll then find the best solution: a replacement, a repair or your money back. Preferably report it within 14 days of receiving it, and keep the product and the packaging.
Report a defect →How do I find a leak?
Inflate the product and apply some soapy water to the seams and the valve. Where bubbles appear, air is escaping. A small hole can often be patched yourself.
See the repair guide →What does the warranty cover?
Your statutory warranty always applies. Our products are handmade: small differences in print or colour are part of that. Wear and tear, punctures and damage from over-inflating, heat or sharp objects are not covered by the warranty.
I received something different from what I ordered
An order can arrive in more than one parcel; check your shipping email for another tracking number. Really received something else? Keep the product sealed and send us a photo of what you received, with the label. Then we will send you the right product.
Report it via contact →We don't have an answer to that yet
Ask us your question and we'll help you personally.
