Honestly speaking, every online retailer should learn from Skatepro as far as customer service is concerned. Second to none. Couldnt recommend them enough. And the skates were fantastic too. 6 Stars... See more

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Faulty product and they wouldn't provide any replacements. They asked me to measure my own skates to find a replacement part for my skates and search for the piece on their store. They don't know the compatible pieces for their most popular freeskate 😳
Had to order in a new piece from abroad with shipping because skatepro didn't have any.

I made the claim within 24 months of purchasing the product and they never helped me with the issue or reimbursed the replacement.

Won't be buying from Skatepro again. Prices are ok but I'd rather have reliability.

edit:
My response to skatepros message below.
I have reached out to you on two separate occasions with my order number and got no help.
Would you like me to put my order number in this trustpilot review so you can find my case through the review?

If someone is reading this review, just know that skatepro still hasn't helped me, even after responding to me on trustpilot.

My order number is 3648362
if you want to contact me

Update: After giving skatepro my order number here they contacted me over the phone and they're still not giving me replacement parts for the broken pieces.

Update 2:
(because skatepro keeps editing their response and not helping me)
I already know which axle it is, it is an adjustable rocker axle compatible with the frx 80s. I have bought my own replacement in the past. I don't need to measure it and why do you need me to measure it when you have them in stock? Just check it yourself. Here, this is a website with them if you don't know how to check [locoskates/products/seba-fr-x2r-rocker-axle].
Maybe it would have been a good idea to bundle a few of these with the defective products you are selling since these outer axles break much easier than the inner axles. Axles are supposed to be removable so you can flip the wheels. What's the point having an adjustable rocker that breaks when you try to adjust it?
Your representative told me over the phone that these products have a lifespan and are expected to break. The fact is, 3 out of 4 of my adjustable rocker axles have broken and 0 out of 4 inner axles are broken. They are fine. When I remove axles I take all of them off, so the rocker axles have been removed the same amount of times as the inner ones. The adjustable rockers are a complete gimmick that break incredibly easily.
You should have provided a drill with the product to remove the axle too since you expect them to break

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to know that you had some issues with your skates. As our corresponding emails on the 22nd of May explained - and as one of our colleagues explained to you on the phone, in order for us to be able to suggest you which axle is right, you need to remove one of yours, and measure it, only then, we could tell you which one we could recommend as replacement.

Very inefficient customer service.

I have had an awful experience with this company. I never write a bad review but in this instance I think the buyer should be aware and customers aware that if you have any issue with their couriers just cancel and move on to a more reliable vendor.

My experience started in mid November. The Christmas present I ordered was not delivered by their courier.
The company notified me of issues with the address (which other companies had successfully delivered to) and I updated it, gave them an alternative, phone numbers etc. There was never another attempt at delivery. While they were sending emails to the courier, the courier was returning the package to their depot in Belgium and ignoring them.

I assumed Skatepro were looking into the courier but looking back they were just sending an email without checking the status of the package (this was going on for weeks). To cut a long story short. Last week I cancelled the order and reordered and was told to expect it this week (I gave them a different address), they then emailed 4 days later with a revised delivery window (one being the other side of Christmas). They then email me today and say they cannot deliver due to some technicalities on their end. So here I am a few days out from Christmas left high and dry.

They are great emailers but unfortunately can't back up their commitments in my first and last experience of dealing with Skatepro.

This is a long one so buckle in.

This is a long one so buckle in.
I ordered two sets of skates and all the safety gear needed as well as bags to carry them for both my partner and my kids birthdays. I ordered with plenty of time to spare to be on the safe side. I ordered it on the 1st of Nov.
I was waiting for the delivery and reading the updates on the tracking.This went on till the 14th of Nov when it said it had been delivered when it hadn't and they said it had been signed for.
I called skatepro and they started a enquiry.
They did not receive any information from gls so they sent out a new package on the 28th of Nov.
I explained that it was birthday presents which was on friday week and was assured it would be with me between 3 to 5 working days.
I called after 5 days and was told there wasnt any reason it was late but to wait and was also given 10 euro refund. I missed both birthdays at this point. I called again and was given a further 20euro. The package finally arrived on the 14th of December. Then 3 days later on the friday the other package arrived.
I then received a phone call on Monday at about 9.30am. I was told I need to print off a label and bring the package to gls pickup spot. I asked can the post me a label as I dont have a printer and was informed they were being fair and it's the least I can do. Iv now wasted all the time I had to spend on the phone to them trying to get my package. Now I'm being told I need to spend more time sorting there issue. The last call the person was very rude and abrupt.

Reply
First I waited over a month for my product to arrive with no info from gls on why they said the first package had arrived and was signed for when it hadn't been and why was the 2nd package so late.
The issue with the last phone call was the language used. All the other phone calls were perfect and I must compliment all the staff I dealt with up to the last phone call. All I asked would it be possible to post me out a label as i will struggle to get to a printer. And i was informed that it isnt possible.i was then informed " I MUST print the label off" "I MUST bring it to a depot" and that it was the least I could do. So the least I could do is put myself out even more. Spend more of my time. To fix the problems your company and your partners created.

Hi Danny, thank you for taking your time to give us feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with our service. Most probably, some information was confusing to you. We are a Danish company, based in Denmark. We send our products to Ireland from Denmark and the products delivered with GLS.
There was indeed a delayed from our partner, GLS, and we contacted them immediately regarding the delay. Due to the unexpected delay from GLS, we refunded you €30 and sent you a replacement order :)
We have been notified, you have received 2 orders with the same products and €30 refund for the delay of the first order.
Because of this issue, we kindly contacted you through phone and informed you that we have sent you a free return label in order to proceed with the return of the first order. We have all of our communication, and we can assure you that we have responded fast and with respect to you.
We kindly ask you once again to return the first order as you have received the replacement order from SkatePro :)

We would like to apologize once again for the delay from our partner's end.
If we can help you with anything else, feel free to reach out. We are more than happy to help! 🤩 ✌/SkatePro Customer Connection Team

I’ve ordered a few times from skatepro…

I’ve ordered a few times from skatepro and I won’t be doing it again.
Ordered skates and they came used, had to ship them back myself, replacement came and still used also had chew marks on them like it was animals ,3rd time finally was ok but still had scuff marks. Got discount off.
Ordered a rail another time and they sent the wrong rail but an extension, had to ship back again and finally got rail.
I wasted petrol to go back to post office multiple times and customer service was rude.
Never again.

They actually called me! I never gave them permission to ring me and only gave my number for delivery. My review is not just based on my experience but I have a few friends that experienced the same.
Calling me to give compensation so what I would lie and take my review down? Very shady.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We can see that you have made an order with us and that everything went as it should with it. The review you made, according to your own words, was made on behalf of someone else, and you have refused to tell us who. So, unfortunately, we won't be able to help without knowing who should we help. We remain at your disposal.

They told me there to source parts myself and send them receipts.

WORST delivery service

Do not buy unless they stop using GLS as a delivery service.
GLS never delivered to my address. When I rang their company they said “sometimes our delivery drivers just leave it somewhere”. I eventually found my package 3 weeks later an hours drive away. They forged my signature and when I rang to query where the package was they never rang me back. I placed a complaint with skate pro re: the use of GLS and I have since never received an update or what happened with the complaint.
