Happy with item that I ordered and really surprised to receive a few extra bits, stickers etc. The only negative was the courier Ups. I was sent an email saying my item would be delivered the next day. I waited around for the delivery, nobody turned up. I received another message from Ups at 1815, stating my delivery had been rescheduled for next day. Far skates please change you courier
