Shipping & Returns
FREE SHIPPING AND RETURNS ON US ORDERS OVER $55
How long will it take to receive my order?
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping via FedEx Ground takes approximately 5-7 days for delivery. For expedited shipping, there's a 1-2 business day processing time before orders ship. Orders placed over the weekend will ship the following Tuesday. Please note that during product launches, high-volume periods, and holidays, processing and shipping times are not guaranteed and will likely be extended due to increased order volume.
What are my options for expedited shipping?
To optimize the customer experience according to individual needs, we offer expedited shipping through various carriers, selectable at checkout. Estimated shipping times, provided by carriers, are not guaranteed, and consequently, we cannot refund shipping charges if orders do not arrive within the estimated timeframe.
It's important to note that expedited shipping does not bypass the standard processing time required to ship an order. Please be aware that FedEx Express services, such as FedEx 2-day and FedEx Overnight, do not deliver on weekends or holidays.
US Return Policy
We want you to love your paddle! We offer a 30-day hassle-free return/exchange policy. Simply buy the paddle you're interested in, play with it for 30 days. If it doesn't work for your game, return it for a full refund or exchange it for a different one. Plus, Selkirk covers standard shipping both ways. We’ve taken the risk out of purchasing a new paddle.
International Return Policy
We want our international (outside the US) customers to love their paddle as well! We offer the same 30-day hassle-free return/exchange policy with the exception of the free shipping. Simply buy the paddle you're interested in, play with it for 30 days. If it doesn't work for your game, return it for a full refund or exchange it for a different one. Selkirk is more than happy to extend this offer, however we are not able to cover the associated shipping costs for international orders.

Really like the Era wide body. Good control and plenty of power. My wife bought it for me for Christmas, I probably would have gone with the longer Era, but this one is great!
- GRGary R.Verified BuyerReviewingSelkirk VANGUARD Control - Invikta - Pickleball PaddleI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoPower and spin
I'm now working on my second Vanguard Control Invikta. The first was terrific and I used it for at least a year before deciding the original raw carbon fiber was getting a bit thin. The new one has not disappointed either. I like to spin the ball, but power is important too. Selkirk has proved to me it is a great company and I will continue to shop for my pickleball needs.

S2
The most control and precision
Ideal for pickleball players who want the most control potential. This shape is also great for players coming over from a table tennis background because it most closely resembles a ping pong paddle.
Epic
Versatile and balanced
Ideal for beginners to seasoned pros, and tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Some players prefer this shape, while others who don’t have a preference opt for it as a way to continue learning their preferences.
Invikta
Extend your reach and create more power
Ideal for intermediate to pro players who have an aggressive play style, like more room for a two-handed grip, and want more reach.
