The experience started poorly when the chatbot marked my order as "fulfilled," making me think they thought the item had been delivered when it hadn't arrived yet. It turns out it was stuck at a d... See more

Deserve a fair review.

Issues with Royal Mail delivery didn't help but overall the communication with Harry was always available and I unfairly put blame on this store when in fact they were very helpful.
I would recommend and use this company again In future.

Very Helpful.

Ordered a complete a few weeks ago for next day pick up online. I made a mistake, didn't wait for my confirmation email and shown up way too early not realising it needed assembling. The staff got on with it straight away with no complaints and the board was ready to go in 15 minutes. Great attitude, so i will be coming back for any new gear in future.

Fast response, nice guys!

I've not received my board yet because I only just ordered. I accidentally put the wrong address for delivery and Harry and the guys sorted it right away. Looking forward to my order!

Great shop for complete skateboards!

Ordered a complete skateboard on Saturday and it arrived today (very quick for free delivery during a pandemic!), well boxed and in good condition. I chose to buy from Black Sheep as they had the best selection of decks for complete boards at a reasonable price.

Rude, unhelpful and dodgy payment system

I went to order a skateboard that said it was in stock but, when i clicked order i was suddenly told it was no longer in stock however the payment was still bank authorised. I tired another skateboard and the same happend again. The money for the skateboards has not been put back in my bank. You will not get through to their phone line and the people on the contact email are unhelpful and rude.

nice one Nathan I was trying to help and wondered why you mentioned trust pilot
We don't actually have an order from Nathan as he tried to buy an out of stock skateboard twice.
His bank have pre authorized the payments so no money had left his account in reality.

thanks again

I cannot recommend this shop due to the long shipping delay and contact phone number noone answers

I cannot recommend this shop due to the long delay to dispatch and the contact phone number that noone answers. I ordered pads on Sunday evening, with a 3-5 days delivery. The web site quite clearly says no delays due to Covid 19. On wednesday (today) they had not even shipped so as I was very concerned I rang the contact number on the web page. No answer. I rang again. And again. I must have rang ~20 times today. I eventually replied to the purchase confirmation email with a cancellation request. It was answered in a minute or so by Harry. He sounded quite indignant to have received my polite email. He cancelled the order. I explained politely why I was concerned. He claimed that the parcel was wrapped and ready to be shipped. The tone suggested I was at fault. He even said "It's ok I was worried we had done something wrong ". Well Harry, I if you have a contact number, and noone answers, that's not normal. And to not even ship for three days is not normal. Yes you answered my email very quickly, and cancelled the order very quickly. But still when noone answers the phone throughout the day people will start to worry that the shop has gone out of business, especially in the current climate.

We are sorry three days to ship in the middle of a nationwide lock down was unfortunately impossible to avoid and as you say we reply very quickly

Order confirmed then cancelled 3 days later

Terrible.
Ordered an item for my daughter after she had done her research and searched the Web for hours.
Order accepted and confirmation email received only for refund to be issued 3 days later with no explanation.
Contacted store and was told bluntly 'out of stock'.
Item was showing as available and order confirmation received unbelievably poor admin and shockingly poor way of treating customers.
Be warmed.

Absolutely Unbelievable!!

This is the first review I’ve ever taken the time to write but I’m so overwhelmed by their service I felt the need. I ordered 3 skate decks at 3am yesterday morning, they accepted the delivery, grip taped them all up(neatly and for free), packaged them securely and sent them to then be at my door by today on a Saturday morning and with no delivery charge!! Outstanding! 5*
So thanks Black Sheep Store, keep up the great service!

Core

A skateshop with a long history that is notable for a wide selection of wheels, tools and bushings that other shops don't carry or overcharge for. They can get very busy so plan out your order well ahead. Thank you Harry for shipping to my country!

Cool atmosphere when you walk in

Cool atmosphere when you walk in, massive variety of skate gear to go around, came in store today to pick up a T tool, great quality and very low price. Also ordered complete alien workshop deck and very pleased with the quick delivery and quality of the board + the free gift which was crackin. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get into skating or regular skaters, there is stuff for everyone no matter what class you fall under,

All Together 10/10 store and online site, defo going back and buying some more boards.
