I don't know the site, but I do know the store. Following my dissatisfaction with 1 out of 2 products purchased, hawaiisurf contacted me to resolve my issue: this approach is positive in itself, let's wait for the follow-up. Nice material but in April, indeed, ski shoes are rarer and I should have acted sooner for this purchase.

Competent seller but unpleasant, with a smile it's nicer! Customers come to see sellers for information, not to be treated like someone who knows nothing. Sales technique needs to be reviewed...

Fast shipping and neat packaging, but no tracking during shipping. I randomly went to the relay point suspecting it should have arrived since the few days I ordered. I find the site average since it was redone. It's pretty, but full of bugs, especially in keyword searches. And there was no tracking, too bad.

First order placed.
The package has not yet been delivered.
This is therefore just a temporary review.

Product very poorly packaged, the clothing without packaging placed directly in a box. Box arrived crushed and the warranty sticker detached, so anyone could see what was in the box. Review your packaging. Also, I had to contact the relay point to find out if the package had arrived there. Too bad the site doesn't inform the customer......

The box was pierced (broken through) and the inner plastic packaging was torn over 15 good cm! Fortunately, the wetsuit was fine! So packaging and transport need improvement!

Maybe consider training your employees to put two similar shoes in one box.

There are more and more days between the order and delivery, you say it’s shipped and it’s not true, I received the package today, March 19, before when I ordered from Claude I had the packages 2 days later, now it takes at least 10 days, when it’s been more than a week and I don’t have a package I call you not happy and strangely I receive 3 days after each complaint the promo code instead of the licensed rate never works. Best regards, Ghislaine Ponty

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
We sincerely apologize for the delay on this last order, we indeed had a hiccup with the shipment, the first envelope sent was lost by the carrier, everything was shipped and good for us.
Before having your feedback, to inform us that you hadn’t received anything, we then made an urgent reshipment. The fact that you call “not happy” has nothing to do with the reception shortly after, by simply informing us, happy or not we would have reacted in any case =) .
No need to generalize exceptions, delays remain rare, apart from this one corresponding to a delivery problem with the carrier. We noted only one delay for a set of bearings ordered during the sales last June.
When the code doesn’t work, we handle it manually, the refund of 10% of your order has actually been processed today.
Best regards
Romain

Unrefunded returns present a real problem especially when the sizes indicated on the site do not correspond to the size of the ordered shoes...

Used to super quality with HawaiiSurf, I was just surprised when opening the package to see one of my wheel sets opened and re-taped as best as possible. (nothing serious)
Fast, correct and reliable site

Hello, I ordered a set of pads for my board, which I paid 15€. The surprise was not very pleasant when I received my item with a label on it, 15€ crossed out -50%, new price 7€50. The customer perception is not very good. Otherwise, the delivery was fast and the item was in good condition.

Phone contact really great, very good advice, nothing to complain about. However, the delivery, although fast, leaves something to be desired in the sense that everything was moving around in the box, the ordered items thrown loosely in the delivery box... In short, it was my first order, I might try again but if this happens again, I will buy elsewhere.

One piece of advice: change your profession, the irony when you are at fault and doing business is misplaced. You are dishonest, it is not indicated that you are closed on Monday when ordering. When I pay €10 for Chronopost, it is to be delivered, we don't care about the departure date of the package, we do not pay shipping fees to know when the package leaves your place, but to know when it will arrive. Apparently, geography is not your strong suit, this village is located in the mountains, so perfectly accustomed to snow. Moreover, the post office delivered a package to us while Chronopost could not. You did not honor your commitments and are not even capable of recognizing it. No worries, competition is fierce online, I will look elsewhere.

Response from HawaiiSurf
Good evening,
It is clearly indicated when choosing Chronopost delivery that orders from Saturday evening to Monday evening are taken into account on Tuesday (due to our closure).
"Orders from Saturday to Monday evening are taken into account the following Tuesday for shipping." (indicated as such, black on white, when choosing your delivery)
We deliberately provided this information at the time of choosing the shipping fee, before validating the order, to avoid this kind of "misunderstanding".
If geography is not my strong suit, it seems to be the same for you, unless you notice a fundamental difference between "village is located in the mountains" (your words) and "mountain village in the Alps" (my words). (your subsequent indication about being used to snow having no geographical content)
It is true that prefectural prohibitions often mention "heavy vehicle traffic prohibited UNLESS YOU ARE USED TO SNOW".
For your comparison to La Poste (Colissimo), it is completely irrelevant.
Colissimo does not and does not even offer deliveries in 24 hours (or less). The package you received probably left at the end of the previous week and could have been routed from the departure center to the delivery center in your area. And it could be delivered because the vehicles dedicated to deliveries ARE NOT HEAVY VEHICLES.
The Chronopost package left on Tuesday (as planned) but the routing (done at night) between the departure center and the one handling your delivery (after receiving the packages in the morning) was PROHIBITED.
That is why you were able to receive your Colissimo and not the Chronopost (which are two companies belonging to the same group, Chronopost being the express division of Colissimo, all criticisms or praises made to one or the other are difficult to dissociate).
One piece of advice, before advising people to change their profession, do a little research before arguing with comparisons that are absurd, and to embellish by omitting as many FACTS presented during our response to your first review, which remains curiously in the same vein.
So if you are unable to assimilate facts, with a minimum of perspective to understand why your order could not arrive on Wednesday as planned.
And yet you hold us primarily responsible for the fact that you did not take 10 seconds to read the restrictions due to our closure on Chronopost deliveries, secondly for the bad weather and prohibitions resulting from it, I cannot tell you anything more and invite you to remain impervious to all understanding and common sense.
We are not at fault, and even less dishonest, on the contrary we cannot be more transparent.
Wishing you a good evening.
Best regards
Romain

Hello, as discussed over the phone, there was a mix-up with the other pair.
You can come by on Saturday as agreed to exchange the foot that doesn't fit.

Terrible, I ordered a product, they called me to say it is no longer available due to a stock error! Since then I am still waiting for the refund
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
We apologize for the unavailability of your item.
Indeed, like all online shops as well as physical ones, we are not immune to thefts, defects, or stock errors and we inform our customers in this case.
We remain an independent shop, the refund took time because we have returns, modifications, cancellations during the sale period.
Our apologies for the issues encountered with your purchase.
Best regards

I bought a sale short, fast delivery. Unfortunately, I took a size too small but I was able to return it for a larger size, Haiwaiisurf exchanged it without any problem. To improve: - the communication on the site: on the product page it says once 'free shipping' without further mention, and at the bottom of the page it is added 'from 89€ purchase'. I felt misled when I had to pay shipping fees at purchase! - the product exchange process, it's more convenient when we are sent a label to print/stick on the package rather than doing everything manually at the post office.

Order placed for express delivery to have them before leaving for a snowboarding trip, package was posted a day after the order so received too late! Refund of shipping costs offered but had to pay postage to get my order at the vacation spot!
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello, We apologize for the delay encountered on your order, despite a special team on Monday (weekly closure) we still experienced a delay in shipments at the beginning of the week due to the influx of the new markdown that occurred over the weekend of your purchase. I am sorry to read that you had to return to obtain your pair of mittens. This is not customary and quite endemic during peak trading periods, but in the case of a delay we remain flexible on delivery and could have sent them directly to your vacation spot, or to a nearby Chrono relay (so you could pick them up without sacrificing a day of practice) within the same timeframe. We apologize for the issues encountered with your order. Best regards, Romain HAWAIISURF

The order was very poorly shipped
No protection for the clothes placed directly in the box... if it had rained it would have been the same!!!!
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello, we put it directly in the box because brands send them like that in the delivery boxes they send us.
Since there should be less and less plastic, brands also have no right to put them under plastic.
When sending clothes, we still take care to fold the items well in the package.
Remaining at your disposal.

GOOD!!!, but expensive, the delivery costs! (let's say that the delivery costs me 4 times the price of the item..!)
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
Unfortunately, the delivery rates are fixed (for Belgium as for France) and it is true that for just a spare part it may seem disproportionate..
We remain an independent shop and do not have the physical means (weighing each reference) and technical means (developing/integrating a solution on the site) to adjust delivery costs based on the theoretical weight of one or more items in an order, for the moment.
Without pushing for personal consumption, the 'good plan' in this case would be to group an order with other riders to take advantage of interesting rates on other wear parts (wheels, plates, etc.) by sharing the delivery.
Best regards
