I'm really happy with this company's customer service and with the product. The person I spoke to when I called to report an issue with my delivery, was helpful, kind and efficient. The skates are great.

Please be careful when you shop at Skates.co.uk

Very disappointing experience. I returned the helmet after trying it on once, solely to check the fit and size. It was never used for riding and was returned in the same condition as I received it.

The company rejected my return, claiming that the helmet "shows clear signs of use, which is against our returns policy." This is simply not true. Trying on a helmet to check whether it fits is a normal and necessary part of buying one online. I believe the reason given for rejecting my return is unfair and unjustified.

If this is how the company handles legitimate returns, I would think twice before ordering from them.
