First class product and customer service!

I placed my order on Thursday night. I emailed customer service to ask if they could speed up my order, as the half term was staring on Monday. To my surprise, the mat was posted on Monday and delivered on Tuesday morning. Couldn’t thank them enough for doing that . My son is very happy with the mat and it is keeping him busy. He started practising straight away.
I don’t understand the amount of negativity. I almost didn’t order based on other feedbacks. But I am glad I took a chance. Produis of good quality, customer service is reactive.

I have never received the order

I have never received the order. I asked the producer in advance if my order would be delivered the latest on the 9th of January and they assured me it would be shipped on the 5th of January. Apparently, it's very complicated to deliver things within the same country (it takes me less to deliver electric equipment from Austria to Dominican Republic). I am not in the UK anymore so now I need to spend God knows how much to get my order... For sure it doesn't make me happy...

Hi Araksi,

Thank you for your review. We welcome both positive and constructive reviews that help us improve our service.

We would however, like to clarify the situation from our side:

We despatched your order within our stated time frame and provided tracking of which you were advised we did everything to ensure your request of a certain day was

Having now checked your tracking it seems it was delivered a day late but you were advised at every step the reasons delivery couldn’t be made. I have looked in to this and as you requested it be delivered to a Hotel the courier has advised they faced issues with drop off.

As you can see, we have actioned everything within our control to ensure your order arrives on time, only for the courier to arrive a day late (which was still within our advised timeframe)

Moreover, there are a multitude of reasons why deliveries may be impacted, such as traffic, road accidents, issues at courier depots - the list is endless and unfortunately out of our control.

We have succesfully delivered thousands of products to date with an emphasis on customer service, unfortunately your experience hasn’t been as positive but we thank you kindly for your custom and apologise for any inconvenience.

All the best

Zero reply.....

I've been trying for months (before Christmas ) to order in the United States. I have sent multiple emails, direct messages via Facebook and Instagram as well. No replies. The FAQ makes it seem like they ship internationally but the website will not allow it. And nobody gets back to you. Overall terrible experience.

Excellent Service

Order Pro Mat Skills for grandson for Christmas. Bit concerned that Evri was the nominated courier - having spoken with Dan he organised another courier for me as Evri have the most dreadful reputation in my village for non-deliveries/mis-deliveries to goodness knows where! Product showing out of stock initially but as per their website more stock arrived - and i happily received a parcel before Christmas. Grandson thrilled and practising every day. Thank you Dan.

What a great company. I emailed a query and got an answer straight back and my order arrived quickly.

Thankyou

Absolutely recommend!

After a delay at the start, once the issue was communicated, Dan actioned a plan and my parcel arrived internationally before Christmas as promised. The product appears to be of great quality, and I'm sure my soccer-mad children will be excited to open it on Christmas day!

Understandably, things dont always go to plan around the chaotic times at Christmas, but I'll happily support a company that owns an issue, and quickly responds to and resolves any problems - especially when it involves more complicated international orders along with time differences - my emails were responded to at times that I'm sure were outside normal business hours, in order to communicate quickly with me at a reasonable hour here in Australia.

I would absolutely recommend to purchase from this company. I received exactly what I ordered, the packaging was perfect and protective, I feel that it is great value for money (other brands I looked at I couldn’t justify or afford the price, and you can’t get anything like this in Australia) and I appreciated the customer service.

Thank you!

Great experience.

Easy to order. When out of stock dates were given for when it would be back in and it was on the dates stated. Received in a quicker time than expected.
Looking forward to giving it as a birthday present to my football crazy son.

Great skills mat

This is a review without me using the product (christmas present - will updated new year 2024)
I was recommended this Mat by a friend, who couldn't speak anymore highly about the product and the service.
Making rhe order was smooth and easy. The delivery was a little longer then usual (but with black friday and christmas there orders are heavier then usual) so if you need this by a certain date dueing busy periods order with plenty of time. My friend ordered hers middle of the year and received it very quickly.
It came packaged very well by courier, the quality of the mat seems great and im sure my football mad son will love it on xmas day.

No confirmation email

Made an order on Monday and have never received a confirmation email but the money has been taken from my bank account. Have tried to contact company via email and socials with no reply. Read that they had a problem with emails for a few days but this was meant to be sorted. Have sent another email this morning and still no reply. The one thing my son has asked for Christmas and now looks like he won't be getting it!

Hi Leigh,

Thanks for your review, we welcome any constructive feedback that helps us improve.

We have your order and it is processing, as stated when you purchased it delivery will be up to 8-11 days.

We are currently dealing with a very large amount of communication at the moment so apologies for any delays.

Regarding confirmation please check your junk folder, it should be there - its all automated so in the hands of our platform unfortunately but please rest assured your order will be on its way really soon and I can guarantee will be there for Xmas.

After contacting the company they responded immediately.

They explained they had been taken by surprise at how popular this item was and were doing their best to meet orders and apologised for the delay.

I found them to extremely helpful with my order and I felt totally reassured after receiving an email apprising me of situation.

The training mat ordered was posted today and will be here tomorrow in response to my email. Super customer service.

No one gets back to you

No one gets back to you!
Could be a scam who knows.

I ordered 2 mats on 5 nov, one was for my boys birthday which is tomorrow so a £40 present isn’t going to be here for his birthday even though it’s been 20 days.

Absolutely disgusting will be reporting to my bank. I’ve made several attempts to contact this “company” no phone number so bit suss. Get sick of trying to support these businesses but they grab your money and stick a finger up at you.

I’ll go to a bigger company next time.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for your review, we welcome both positive and constructive feedback.

We are very sorry to hear you feel this way, though we would like the opportunity to explain the situation:

Firstly, due to issue with emails the one and only time we were made aware of your issue we instantly jumped on the phone to offer our apologies and to advise we will send out a replacement order the very next morning, which we did, on an upgraded next day service, hopefully this shows our commitment to customer service.

The issue it would seem was communication. We have contacted our email provider and have been advised there was a block on our junk emails of which your previous email went in. Regarding messages through the site, we are now aware that we have not been receiving these either because we have maxed out the quota due to a huge increase in orders, again this has now been fixed. An error on our part was not looking in to this prior to the issues starting.

Regarding your delivery, of which we did originally ship in good time, was in fact lost in transit it would seem. I have been advised by our delivery partners that you should have received an email explaining this, other customers certainly have.

To make things right, we then sent you out a replacement order using a different courier on an upgraded next day service which was delivered as promised.

Please accept our apologies for the errors on our part but we hope we have provided a strong reaction to your issue, we are a new company with things to learn but I can assure you that customer service is very important to us.

Best Regards

Fantastic skills mat

Skills mat is exactly as expected. It is a Christmas gift for my daughter but I know she will love it. Definitely value for money and customer service are very responsive. Was dispatched fairly quickly and arrived rolled up in a stiff cardboard tube. Would definitely recommend compared to other much more expensive mats out there.
