Review. Bought some items as Christmas presents. One of them was broken on arrival. One email later and I had a replacement delivered the next day. Very impressed with their customer service :D :thumb:

Buy with confidence :)

Good to hear. I've never been their customer, but I've wondered about them. Thanks for posting POSITIVE feedback. (I wasn't expecting it when I clicked on this thread.) :thumb:

Bought a couple of kites from them over last few years or so and their customer service is good. Everything arrived within a week or so with no issues all the way to the usa . Their prices are also very competitive especially their occasional discount sales.

Mixed feedback for me. I've spent about $10k over the years with them. Great prices and speedy delivery but:

3 x incorrectly picked orders
Both warranties have been horrendously slow to process and approve and I was forced to pay freight on one of them ($180).

Nowadays I just buy small, low risk items like wet suits. Too risky / difficult for me getting kites and boards plus the exchange rate has crapped out and they aren't as cheap as they use to be comparatively.

I ordered a bar from them, it arrived in New Zealand within a week.

The package was shipped with DHL who got in touch and I had to pay import taxes through DHL (15% of the NZ value). DHL handled customs once the payment was made.

Would definitely use them again, probably for my next set of kites, 40% off is better than we get in NZ on runout gear.
