Suboptimal by name, but NOT by nature
Always the best service from Suboptimal.
Super friendly, super knowledgeable, fast delivery and great prices.
Nothing is too much effort.
Not all Skateshops are created equally.
They fully contradict the name of their shop by giving nothing but optimal service.
Big up Suboptimal Skateshop.

All good
The transaction went well and delivery arrived quickly and efficiently. The parcel was well packaged. I received a nice bonus in the form of a newspaper and a couple of stickers. I am very satisfied

Hey Michal! We're glad you're happy with your order and thank you for ordering with us! 👊🏻
Sent wrong item
Sent wrong item. I'm guessing deliberately as they didn't have any stock of the one we ordered. Trying their luck it would seem. Agreed a refund on return. I returned item and let them know. No response. I sent them proof of postage. No response. Thank goodness for PayPal!

Hi Alanna, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We are sorry your experience with us wasn't positive. We're a tiny independent business run completely by two members of staff, so apologies if it took a little longer then expected to process your return.
Our returns process, which is available on our website, states full refunds on receipt of the original items, we also refunded the shipping and paid for your returns label at our expense as it was our stock listing that caused the error.
The item was received Friday, 3 days after it was posted back to us, but as a paypal dispute had been opened before the item had been returned we had to spend 3 hours on the phone to them to get the transaction unfrozen so that you wouldn't have to wait 5-7 working days to receive your refund - but we GUESS that's just how LUCKY we feel to go the extra mile for our customers.
Thank goodness for patience :)
Cheers,
SUBOPT
