Very slow at posting, made a purchase two days ago and still no tracking number. I won’t be using Far again.

Thanks for your review Oliver. If you feel we deserve a higher rating when your order arrives, please re-review us. For context, Oliver has pre-ordered a skateboard deck that doesn't ship until mid February.
Great skater owner store

Exceeded expectations!
Fantastic service, friendly knowledgeable staff, a non profit organisation, a real skate shop, what more could you ask for ?
I posted my OG Powell board for the application of new grip tape, they did a fantastic job creating exactly what I was after, the board was returned via ups trucks, the owner also took the time to call me to let me know he appreciated seeing this vintage example. These guys go the extra mile ! 😎
