Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Confusing updates and blunt support, but issue resolved.

The experience started poorly when the chatbot marked my order as "fulfilled," making me think they thought the item had been delivered when it hadn't arrived yet. It turns out it was stuck at a distribution centre.

I spoke to a human agent who was responsive but quite dismissive. When I asked about the delivery timeframe, I was told "I see what you see," which isn't very helpful. However, when I asked for a refund on the next-day delivery charge, they agreed to process it immediately... Though they made sure to tell me that next-day service isn't guaranteed.

Overall, I appreciate the quick refund, but the communication style could definitely be friendlier.

Knee and elbow protectors

Purchased knee and elbow protectors but didnt arrive on time, wasn't until I chased that they got posted. Item was fine when arrived just took longer than expected, so niece disappointed she couldn't use her new roller boots on her birthday

Wonderful shop

I bought my first skateboard online with Black Sheep and had a lovely experience. Harry was very helpful when I needed to alter my order, and the item itself is excellent quality and arrived perfectly packaged. 11/10 xx

Hello Roberto the trousers were out of stock so i called the phone number you provided ten minutes after you ordered but the number doesnt exist ? I then sent you two emails on the first day and then the second day sent two more emails, every time you messaged through the site and to our email adress i replied to you.
I do not think you are recieving emails either.

So if you have no phone or email we cannot contact you to help you with the order ? As i didnt hear from you with any reply we refunded the trousers straight away and sent the other two items.

You also didnt pay any postage so it wasnt next day delivery you had selected FREE delivery.

I would hope given this information you may revise this review, with thanks Harry.

I went in as saw skateboards in the window and have been thinking of starting skateboarding for some time. I went in without a clue but the staff were super friendly and helpful, and talked me through the boards and let me try standing on them to get a feel for it. They were full of advice to share and clearly knew what they were selling which is always a sign of a good store. 10/10! Was only in there for like 10 minutes and it was one of the best shopping experiences of my life :)

Amazing

Amazing, I’ve bought most of my pads from them over a few transaction. There was one return because I ordered a wrong size. Products arrive within 4-5.

Good prices and easy site to use.

Super customer service…

Super customer service with very prompt response to queries and quick shipping. The prices of the protective knee, elbow and wrist pads were cheaper than the big boys the likes of Amazon so a far more satisfactory shopping experience.

Excellent service for broken truck

Excellent service, bought a pair of Indy Forged Ti trucks 6 months ago and one of them recently snapped an axle, it just sheared. I emailed Black Sheep and got an immediate response, they contacted Indy and within a week I got a replacement truck.

Very reasonably priced

Very reasonably priced. Only took a few days to dispatch items but waited two weeks for a refund. However, once I emailed them about the missing refund they quickly found the parcel and issued the refund. So very good customer service.

I wanted to try and support a skate store that wasn't the commonly known ones online. I came across Black Sheep and decided to place my order with them. I had an issue with one of my items which Harry resolved efficiently and quickly for me. They are very fast at responding to you on e-mail and provide a great service. Support Black Sheep Skate Store and they won't fail you :)
