Very slow at posting, made a purchase two days ago and still no tracking number. I won’t be using Far again.

Win/win

My purchase was fairly priced and promptly delivered. You can't really ask for more - other than that they'd use the profits to directly benefit young people through an exciting education scheme, enabling and empowering them for a brighter future...which they do.

Great service

Very quick delivery of the latest Street Plant deck that you can’t get any old place. Thanks all, much appreciated.

Excellent service and a good cause.

Excellent service, very rapid delivery in London via UPS and well protected packaging to make sure decks did not get damaged.
The shop is part of a charity so shopping and supporting the charity go hand in hand.

My favourite online skate store

There’s a lot to like about FAR Skate. They’re a charity, they stock some really cool brands, and they’re priced very competitively.

Recently I ordered a pair of Street Plant wheels from FAR Skate. Unfortunately when it came to fulfilling my order they couldn’t find the wheels. I accept that stock can go missing however, FAR Skate sent me a really nice email explaining the situation. I’d have been happy with the genuinely apologetic email however, they also gave me a discount voucher for any other wheels I wanted. While completely unnecessary, a very nice gesture and superb customer service.

I then ordered a set of Bones wheels and used my discount voucher.

These wheels were sent and arrived quickly but, not only was I sent the wheels, they’d put together a crazy package filled loads of extras and promo stuff (sweets, stickers, air fresheners, a tech deck). As a child I loved when my mum ordered from Cosmetics To Go (the guys who set up Lush) as their parcels came filled with small gifts. As an semi-adult I ran online businesses and always attempted to ensure whenever customers opened their orders they too would be pleasantly surprised. This was a genuinely fun parcel to receive and an overall example of the level of customer service so many companies pretend to want to deliver but don’t actually make the effort to.

I think these reviews speak for themselves, great shop, great cause, great overall experience. Highly recommended.
