We currently ship worldwide and offer free shipping across the EU on every order. No minimum spend required. For the rest of the world, shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout, based on your location.

Our standard delivery time is 5–12 business days, depending on your location. Please note that customs processing or local carrier delays may affect timing.

We aim to process all orders within 1–2 business days. Once your order has been packed and handed to the carrier, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your tracking link.

You can return your AKUA bottle within 30 days of receiving it, as long as it’s unused and in its original packaging. We cannot accept returns for used or worn items due to hygiene and quality standards. For more detailed information about returns and refunds, please go to our Refund and Return page.

We use food-grade stainless steel (18/8 / 304 grade) which is durable, corrosion-resistant, and fully safe for beverages.

Yes - no plastics that contain BPA or harmful chemicals are in contact with your drink. The interior is 100% stainless steel.

Typically, cold drinks stay cold for up to 12–24 hours and hot drinks stay warm for 6–12 hours—depending on external conditions and how often you open the bottle.

No - stainless steel does not retain flavors or odors when cleaned properly, so it won’t alter the taste of your beverage.

We recommend hand washing only. Dishwashers may damage the insulation or the finish.

Use warm water, mild dish soap, and a bottle brush. For deeper cleaning, a mixture of baking soda + vinegar or a little bit of diluted bleach (followed by thorough rinsing) can help remove stains or odors.

We accept all major payment methods, including:

• Visa
• MasterCard
• American Express
