Hidden charges
The order was just what I wanted but there was a delivery charge even though I spent £170 and when my UPS sent me their tracking number there was a customs charge of £77.18. One of the items was extra large and is too big but the other item e/l fits so I’m stuck with an oversized fleece that I’m not willing to try and return at further cost so will have to sell my self

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Regarding customs and VAT charges applied by UPS, since January 1, 2021, the rules for importing to the United Kingdom have changed:
Orders under £135: Local VAT is paid directly when you place your order on our website. Only administrative fees may be charged by the carrier (approximately £5 with DPD and £11 with DHL).
Orders over £135: Local VAT must be paid to the carrier upon delivery, along with additional administrative fees (approximately £5 with DPD and £20 with UPS).
This information is detailed in our Terms and Conditions. During checkout, a message in the shopping cart also indicates that fees may apply depending on the country of delivery.
We understand, however, that these fees may be perceived as significant and sincerely regret any inconvenience caused.
Regarding the size of the fleece, we're sorry it didn't fit. Unfortunately, not all countries are eligible for free returns. We understand that international return shipping costs can discourage you from sending it back.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything else.
Sincerely,
Betrand

Black Crows ne respectez pas leur garantie.
Alpinstore était super, mais les skis Black Crows que j'ai achetés étaient de qualité médiocre. Ils ont commencé à se détériorer après seulement 25 heures d'utilisation et Black Crows refuse d'honorer la garantie. Tout d'abord, une grande partie de la queue s'est détachée sur l'un des skis, puis de plus petites parties des extrémités et des queues des deux skis. Je n'achèterai plus jamais de produits Black Crows et je conseillerai toujours à mes proches d'éviter d'acheter des skis et des produits Black Crows. Huit de mes amis ont déjà suivi mon conseil. Si une entreprise fabrique un produit, celui-ci doit être adapté à son usage et elle doit honorer sa garantie.
Alpinstore were great, but the Black Crows skis I bought, were manufactured to a substandard quality. They started to fall apart after just 25 hours of use and Black Crows won't honour the warranty. First a large section of the tail fell out on one, and subsequently smaller sections from the tips and tails of both skis. I would never buy any Black Crows product again and will always advise others to avoid buying Black Crows skis and products. 8 of my friends have already taken my advice. If a company makes a product, it should be fit for purpose and they should honour their warranty.

Ups required a signature
Edit: Alpinstore has been awesome with communication this really should've been a review on UPS.
Alpinstore has been helpful as best they can to resolve the issue
though I still don't have product as it makes its world tour.
Thank you alpinstore for your great communication
Ups required a signature. I was traveling for work. I returned to find a notice of "return to sender.
Pretty obnoxious they could have left the bindings or at least given me a pick up location. Can't understand the value in flying bindings back to France to turn around band fly them back to the US. I guess this is how things function when AI is in charge.

Hello,
A signature is required to guarantee the proper receipt and security of your packages. We sincerely regret that the carrier did not offer an alternative, such as a pickup point, which could have prevented this inconvenience.
As agreed, we will reship the returned items as soon as they arrive at our facilities. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
Bertrand
Very satisfied with the product and…
Very satisfied with the product and shipping time. My only issue was with the import fee. I was unaware that I was responsible for it and a little heads up would have been nice. Otherwise, solid experience.
