243mm FR Carbon Frame Issue, resolved!

I ordered 243mm FR Carbon Frames for my inline skates and they were
faulty. The front wheel was touching the top part of the frame and
could not spin freely. I assume when manufactured they drilled the axle
hole too high and did not test it. Grindhouse were fantastic to deal
with and contacted their supplier and provided me new frames which work
perfectly. 100% I would buy from them again in future!

item sent without part

1st order went fine, but 2nd order for Seba CJ2 boot site was showing “available immediately”, so assumed they have it on stock, they informed me that it will take almost 2 weeks to get from distributor… then somehow they send me boot week after, but this time boot was delivered without liners… this could be Seba issue or their issue, but honestly all this experience is very frustrating and I would not recommend this shop to anyone… I can understand once there is issue or mistake, but twice it become issue…

UPDATE: they shipped me skate liner directly from supplier and fixed a problem. DHL delivered 2 days after reporting issue
Upgrading rating to 4.

Perfect company to buy ur skates at

Perfect company to buy ur skates at. They ship the very same day if you order before 12 o'clock. Excellent customer support, very fast in dealing with your issues. Highly recommended to everyone within the EU.

This place was awesome!

This place was awesome! I'm from the UK and was really wary of ordering but it was all fine. The customer service was amazing, I had an issue with one of the wheels was stuck on a frame, it was a manufacturing issue, not the stores but they initially reported the issue for me and eventually offered to replace them. By then I had bought specialist tools and managed to remove it but the axle was destroyed. They are currently sending me a replacement pack of axles and also gave me a partial refund for all the hassle. They were really nice and I would definitely use again!

Client trust is hard to build but so easy to tear down.

I have been a loyal customer of this company for 4 years. Trust is hard to build but so easy to tear down.
I ordered a pair of Moxi Panther skates that were never delivered, though the tracking says they were. After sending an email, I received a silly response of 'we'll have Heiko look into it'. I have not heard a word from them since and I am sorely disappointed that a good customer relationship has been compromised by their lack of concern. I have exercised my right to a refund within 14 days of Internet purchase in writing so that I have written proof that they have ignored my inquiries. Sloppy. Very sloppy.

Hello Olivia, we just noticed about your feedback here and would like to give other readers the opportunity to assess the situation and learn about the solution we provided.

Your email reached us at a time when one colleague was sick and another was on vacation, to be precise on Wednesday Aug 14th. Nevertheless, you received a prompt response informing you that another colleague would take care of the matter and get back to you as soon as possible. Due to the described staff situation, a final response unfortunately only reached you on Monday, August 19th. By that point, you should have noticed that we take your problem seriously and offered you a straightforward solution directly. On Tuesday, August 20th, we issued you a full refund of the purchase price, even though this is not standard practice for such matters. This was indeed a very generous solution on our part.

We are truly surprised that someone who has been a happy customer for so long could make such a negative and disheartening statement about our shop just three days after reporting an issue. You are not even giving us a real chance to resolve the problem within a reasonable period of time.

We wish you all the best and hope that one day you might reconsider this review and remember that we addressed the issue in a very customer-oriented manner.

Kind regards,
Your Grindhouse Skateshop Team

Great customer service

I ordered some skates from them, which apparently were the last pair they had in my size. For some reason or another they had a surface level scratch, which did not impact functionality at all.
Before sending out the skates they called me to ask if I was okay with receiving the scratched pair and also gave me a discount on the skates, unasked for.
Great customer service, would recommend!

They were really helpful and fixed the one minor issue I had right away. They even went beyond what was necessary to address the minor issue with my order.

Great online store! Not just a silent order, but human communication and an individual approach to the buyer. Special respect to Heiko for patience and help in choosing equipment! Super cool! Thanks again!

Great

I order a pair of triskate frames. I'm from Spain and I couldn't find them anywhere else. It just took a week until I could enjoy them. The shipment just costed 9€ covering the distance from Germany to Spain, what sounds really fair to me.

I ordered a pair of skates from the website and they immediately charged my bank card the full amount plus shipping. Then the next day they send an email which I will quote below.

"Thanks for your order on grindhouse.eu

When we were about to proceed with your order, we noticed this is your first
order with us. According to our TOB we would like to receive some kind of
payment verification in this case.

This verification is necessary to be sure you're the real owner of the card
you ordered with. In the past we have lost a lot of money by fake orders
that were placed with stolen credit card informations. With receiving
your verification we know your order is not a fraud and so we will
immediately
proceed with your order.

One way for verification could be to email us some visual identification
and proof that you are the rightful owner of the credit card you ordered
with.
For example a screenshot of your payment confirmation email or sms. Or a
photo
of your credit card. For your privat security you can make the first 8
digits of the
credit card number unrecognizable - then there is absolutely no risk of
data loss."

So, they charged my card and then said they could not proceed with the order unless I provide a picture of my bank card...

I would not recommend using this company to order from.

Hi Baron, thanks for your feedback here on trustpilot as well. As we already told you by email, we will explain here why we have not accepted the payment for your order, so that other customers can retrace our decision.

In the past we have lost a lot of money to chargebacks due to fake orders which were placed with stolen credit card information. Your order contained several inconsistencies that were also found on fake orders, and so we decided to request further information about your payment. Btw, our bank recommended us to ask for this kind of verification to protect us from fraud orders in case the payment is not made with official "3D secure" 2-step verification.

Also, your card has automatically been charged after the order process - this is nothing we have influence on.

We offered you multiple ways to verify your payment or change the payment option to proceed with your order. Since you have decided to cancel your order, we have immediately refunded the money to the card you placed the order with.

Again, we apologize for the inconveniences and hope you have a good day!

Kind regards,
Grindhouse Team

I was so happy when i found a pair of Fr1 80 Deluxe inlines. I'd been looking for ages. The price looked really good only a little extra for shipping and COD charge. What wasn't made CLEAR was that there was an extra 80.00 Pounds to pay in taxes. I paid the money just because i really wanted the skates but 80.00 is a lot of money and now i've discovered the skates are a little too big....... with such high taxes how will i be able to change size??

Hi Jay, thanks for your feedback about your order. We're sorry you find yourself in this dissapointing situation.

Since you're from the UK (which is not part of the EU anymore) you only pay net prices (no VAT included) on our website. Instead you will have to pay UK VAT upon arrival of the package. We clearly inform about the procedure in our FAQ on the website.
Of course you also could have just refused the delivery, if you don't agree on the taxes YOUR COUNTRY charges.

Also if the skates do not fit, you can return them for exchange or refund. You find all information about the return procedure on our website as well.

Maybe it's a more decent way to contact us directly before leaving this negative review here or at least inform yourself about the import restrictions of your country.

We're always happy to help you with any questions or problem. Just send us an email to contact@grindhouse.eu.

Thanks & have a good day!
Kind regards, Grindhouse Team

Ordered but still no delivery. Also bad, to no contact possibilities

I orded a pair of expensive inline skates at grindhouse.eu

It is already around 7 days ago and still the inline skates are not sended. I tried to contact the webshop by phone but because of covid they don't answer you're calls.. I don't get it but oke...

So I sended them 3 emails already and still didn't answer me were my shipment is. I do have a DHL tracking but DHL tells me they don't have a package from grindhouse.eu

In my opinion, this is not the way to handle you're business. Covid is a hard time for everyone but if you have a webshop running you should do everything you can to help out you're customers and grindhouse.eu doesn't do this. They let you pay with you're order and then you can pray wen you get you're order.

It's not that I'm on the other side off the world to. Grindhouse.eu sits in Germany and I live in the Netherlands.

So for now I realy advise you to order somewhere else. And I keep praying that one day I'll get my order..

Kinds regards

Hello Joost,

you have placed your order on March 31st and your order has been shipped on April 1st - that's one day later! As you have chosen pre-payment by bank transfer we had to wait for you money to arrive on our bank account. Otherwise the order would have been shipped the same day!

On our website we clearly inform about possible delays in postal service delivery times (because of the pandemic situation and easter public holidays) and advise to choose UPS for punctual delivery. You have not chosen UPS anyways...

All your emails have been replied from our side within 2 business days. Usually we respond within 24 hours, but the current demand forces us all to help in the warehouse to ship all orders asap. That's why it's difficult to answer the phone currently. We apologize for that. Sad to hear you don't have understanding for that.

To reduce your dissapointment we offered a discount on the order (even though we have not done anything wrong here). So it's even more sad to read that negative review here.

Anyway, we hope in the end you like the skates and we wish all the best in these difficult times. Stay safe and healthy.

Your Grindhouse Team

Will not refund defective skates :/

I bought a pair of mid range skates skates through grindhouse.eu. Unfortunately the buckling system on the skates broke quite quickly, so I requested a return. The folks at grindhouse.eu kindly sent me some replacement parts which I fitted myself. Unfortunately the same issue occured. I asked to return the skates, however the staff refused and sent me more replacement parts. The same thing has happened again and now I just have a pair of defective skates that cost £300. I appreciate the staff are friendly but I can't oblige a company that won't refund defective products.

Hi Daniel, thanks for your feedback here on trustpilot as well. As explained by email several times already, unfortunately it's just not possible to return a skate because of a defective buckle system after using them for more than 6 months. We have always replaced the defective buckles, so there was no "defective product" anymore. All decisions were made in communication with the manufacturer/distributor and so it was out of our control. The final offer even was to replace the buckles another time and issue a refund for 50% of the price of the skates. Until now we have not received any feedback from you about this. We hope to be able to figure this out and have a happy customer again. Please feel free to contact us at any time. Thanks!

Amazing Shop

First time I bought here was I think 2009, and in the last 10 years their quality is still the same.
Amazing brands and price for a large amount of products for every skating type.

Amazing mention to Heiko and the customer support, I ordered a Razors aggressive skate, but they were too small for my feet, after I sent back, they provided me another Razors model that fit larger without any problem, fast and easy.

There are literally no cons with this shop! 10/10
