Poor stock management! Having a small budget and attracted by the site, I ordered a model that I liked, in the end, I waited a week for an order that would never arrive and I discovered it because I called the store to find out that they no longer have the model... so no order tracking and a waiting and disappointed customer. No compensation either. They advised me to request a refund as they could not match the initial offer. So disappointed.

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello Sir, We would like to apologize for this lack of follow-up and this stock error. It happens that some old products are in stock error due to their age. Unfortunately, we could not offer you a product at the same price because it was an item from an old collection with a -70% discount, which is €21 for a pair of SUPRA, which is a golden offer. The brands we offer are well above this price and without a discount, it is impossible to get shoes from this brand for less than €25. We invite you to check our site during the next sales and look among our old collections to stay within your budget. We will strive not to make mistakes in our stocks again. Have a good weekend. Best regards, Kevin VPC

Delivery scheduled for last week, still nothing received: no email, no SMS, and of course no order!

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
Sir, we sincerely apologize for this delay on our part.
During peak consumption periods, it happens that some orders get lost in the flow of orders, which delays preparation.
Please know that your order has been shipped and was delivered today to your relay point.
We will refund the shipping costs for not respecting the deadlines.
Have a good day.

Order delivered on time. Great. I unpack to try the size and there.... Bad surprise. The quick tightening cord of the shoe is detached from the handle. I ask customer service to contact me to know the procedure please. You have my contact details. Best regards. LG Jérôme.

Hello Sir,
We tried to contact you by phone and left you a voicemail indicating the procedure for managing the after-sales service.
You just need to send us a photo by email at [email protected] so that we can assess the damage and contact the supplier to see if a repair is possible or if an exchange is necessary.

Hello,
We have no request regarding your order, so how do you deduce that we are not customer-friendly? The price is set by Nike, you ordered a pair of snowboard boots on the 11th that they no longer produce, they came to you on the 12th for delivery and you were able to pick up your boots on the 13th at the pickup point.

Delivery on Tuesday, after many searches for the package in different relays, package finally recovered on Saturday! Daloz relay in Drancy: not very friendly and uncooperative if there is a problem
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello Sir,
We would like to sincerely apologize, our partner DPD who handles deliveries in relay points can sometimes cause problems.
The relay points are independent and can refuse packages at their discretion, if it is a package that is too large or simply if the relay has no more space or is not open, the delivery is postponed.
The relay points are just relays, DPD cannot be held responsible for their service and likewise for us. As everywhere, it happens to encounter unfriendly people.
We hope to count you among our customers despite this unfortunate incident.
Have a pleasant end of the year.

One of the worst ordering experiences in a long time on the net. I was supposed to receive my order on December 8 or 9 and on the 10th it still hadn't been posted and was still awaiting processing. I sent an email, no response, then a second. No response, then a third... still no response!
I tried to call 10, 15, 20 times at least but the 'press 4 for your orders' never answered. Then the phone line was completely cut off.
After insane persistence and finally asking for another service, I managed to get someone who took my request into account. My order was apparently blocked, my emails never received ...!!? That's a lot after all. I finally received my items quite quickly but one t-shirt is too big and I don't even dare to return it for fear of never seeing it again. Bad bad experience.

Hello Sir,
We would like to apologize for this lamentable experience at HAWAIISURF.
You see, our VPC service only has 2 employees who are responsible for answering emails, calls, checking and shipping about a hundred orders for this holiday period and processing returns.
We do our best but unfortunately when we are on the line with one customer we cannot take another at the same time; the lines are therefore easily occupied.
For faster processing, it is preferable to contact us by phone as we have a lot of emails to handle, by phone it’s direct, provided you manage to reach us on the first try or otherwise via the Messenger application on Facebook where we sometimes respond even outside of our working hours.
It is true that there was also a day when the line was completely cut off but no one is infallible, we quickly contacted technicians to resolve this issue.
It seems that you had a lot of bad luck with this order but you can definitely return your product for an exchange or a refund, they are generally processed within 24-48 hours after receipt and refunds are received within 10 working days.
You have a period of 100 days to return your products so we hope you will overcome your fear to try the quality of HAWAIISURF's customer service and let us make it up to you for this series of complications.
Have a pleasant end of the year.
Best regards

For the second order, I am very disappointed. I ordered the same day as the first one, and I have to manage to receive it.
Because if I don't call, I still wouldn't have received anything, as one product was missing.
This is not very professional. It is not complicated to call or send an email to inform that there is a problem and thus find a solution quickly.

Hello Sir,
We would like to apologize for this lack of seriousness on the part of our partner TNT. We have already reported to TNT that their agency in the North region is not exemplary as it is not uncommon for our orders in the Lille region not to be delivered to home. Moreover, during this Christmas period, the flow of packages is significantly higher than normal, which means that to meet delivery deadlines, some drivers drop off their last packages at relay points directly.
In any case, we will proceed to a refund of the shipping costs and we apologize again for the inconvenience caused.
Have a pleasant day and happy end-of-year holidays.

All products were present, except that the protections for the products were nonexistent, resulting in my new skateboard deck taking full impacts, scratches due to the trucks I had also ordered which were in the same large box but without anything to prevent the trucks from hitting and sinking into my new deck (not really new anymore), seriously some foam, or even just a cardboard to pack the trucks is too expensive... So complete shipment but not careful, and the thing that is also a bit disappointing is the absence of stickers except for two poor little Hawaiian surf things, let's say that for the amount I spent I hoped for a bit of care and an effort to make me loyal.. So really disappointed...

I don't know if vacuuming, tidying up clothes or even chatting with colleagues is more important than advising a customer who is ready to buy a coat. Your website is more pleasant than your store.

Hello, We are sorry if you were disappointed with the welcome in the store, unfortunately as noted in your message we have to take care of everything in the store, and we also have different departments so the seller in the roller or surf department may not necessarily be able to help you more than that with a technical garment, however I am surprised that we did not advise you or look for a competent colleague because we were busy. Can you describe the seller you approached? Did he respond poorly to you? Best regards, Romain HAWAIISURF

Order deadlines not respected at all, board finally received but damaged.
After 2 months of waiting, numerous emails, messenger messages, and calls, I have no response from the store.
I am therefore very disappointed and really not ready to place another order with you! I do not recommend this site.
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
You ordered your board on Thursday 27/07 at 10:15 PM with a delay of 3-4 working days after the order was processed, order received on Friday with a pickup request made the same day for the earliest possible (the following Tuesday according to the store's hours). We sent it out as quickly as possible at the beginning of the following week as it was impossible earlier, you chose and were able to pick it up on Friday of that same week, 04/08, with preparation and delivery completed in 5 working days (counting our Monday closure).
In any case, we are sorry that the board finally arrived one day late.
To say that you have had no response is a bit exaggerated; we ourselves, after perpetual follow-ups, have not received any feedback from Géodis regarding your delivery and continue to chase them.
We will therefore proceed to refund the shipping costs on our part while waiting for the carrier to respond, who is doing everything to bury the matter.
You could see upon unpacking that maximum care was taken in preparation to ensure the surf arrived in good condition; however, it was slightly damaged on the nose during transport. The zero-risk does not exist, unfortunately, for any purchase made through a delivery provider; on a surfboard that we sold at a loss with a €270 saving, we could not make any additional gesture. We offered you a return or sending a repair kit so that even if you had something to do, your reserve would not be impacted by this transport issue, which you refused.
We are sorry that your order did not go perfectly, however, your review is slightly exaggerated in every way as we have tried to find a solution.
Best regards

Like a site to avoid, I have a very bad memory of it, 15 days to receive a delivery, my package was lost and it was me, the customer, who had to SEARCH to demand that it be delivered to me.
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello, you indicate that you have a bad memory of our store, however, on your 13 orders with us, we have no record of product returns and over €1200 in savings on your purchases, which leads me to wonder at what point you have a good memory of your online purchases. Moreover, this order is the first of your orders to encounter a shipping problem, this is unfortunately a risk for any online purchase, we strive to resolve this as quickly as possible but it takes time, we have engaged in multiple steps and follow-ups to retrieve your package, it is therefore very unlikely that your call or DPD promised you a return of the package within 48 hours is responsible for its return within 10 days but I understood well on the phone that it was a difficult fact to assimilate. Delivery issues are common problems for all online sellers and are accidents that happen without prior reasons, if a site that saves you more than a minimum wage on a dozen orders becomes a site to blacklist for a single delivery issue, it is better not to consume online anymore.

This order is a supplement to my order 1098556: you sent me both orders in the same package, and charged as if two packages had been sent, i.e. 2x 20eur = 40eur. I have written to the 'roller' service, then to the 'orders and delivery' service, I have received no response or any refund of 1x the shipping costs, i.e. 20eur. It's dishonest, and I will not buy anything from you again.

Hello, The refund is indeed in progress, with the sales we have quite a bit of processing, the second shipping fee will be refunded via your payment method at the beginning of next week.
