The container of my order is open (the box opened, a wheel rolling around in the bag)
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
We apologize for the wheel package, unfortunately, we cut them because it is not practical for storage and shipping (about 2 times larger than what you received) that is why we put the wheels in an additional bag. This not being really a problem, the order itself having been delivered in 24h and the wheels received perfectly new, why do we have a 2/5?

Difficulty in reaching the online purchasing service. Good ability to adapt to DPD Exapaq delivery issues. Received the package in good condition, size SM packaging but size XS fins even though SM was ordered. Product not compliant with the order. Before the start of a season, it puts the lifeguard in difficulty with equipment of the wrong size... to be continued!

The pivots do not correspond to a truck for quad plates.

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
Indeed, you did not order quad pivots but skateboard ones. You can return them to the store address and we will exchange them for the correct ones, what is your plate model?

I was not informed before the order that the product was not in stock, the date was exceeded by 7 days
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello, the products in WEB exclusivity come directly from the supplier and not from our stock depot, that's why the delivery time is extended. Moreover, with the May holidays, it didn't help with the carriers who were closed on those days. Best regards

No after-sales service, it's really a shame... A problem with a delivered product, which can happen but impossible to get information on the procedure to follow. A bit complicated when doing e-commerce!!
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
we are reachable by phone, but also and especially for a manufacturing problem by email and FB messenger allowing you to send us photos.
We have no message on these two regarding a manufacturing problem with your 686 belt (we have noted your complementary product review to this one) the procedure to follow is described in the corresponding tab "Warranty & SAV" in the bottom menu of the site.
This makes me question since we have no request from you before this review, how did you come to this conclusion about customer service and the procedure to follow, which is written in black and white without even having to contact us even if it is always better and welcome in the context of an after-sales service.
Best regards

2 to encourage them...
I'm trying to support the little boxes... But there is still work to be done... It's not very square yet
10 days after the announced delivery date... Still no news
No response to emails
Very very complicated to reach customer service... Who tells me they can no longer find the ordered item
No one is friendly and a refund in the process
I think I just had bad luck
I will still try again

Hello,
We are sorry for your purchase, indeed there was a lack of feedback on your order regarding preparation and customer service, we should have gotten back to you before the opposite became necessary.
Fortunately, this is not a generality, however some orders sometimes escape our attention.
We apologize once again for your order, we would have liked, like you, for you to enjoy your ski shoes, we thank you for your indulgence and understanding and hope to see you again on the site or in store!

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

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.

Very disappointed upon receiving my wheels which are beige instead of purple. As explained to me by the person I spoke to on the phone, it doesn't change the properties of the wheel but clearly I wouldn't have chosen them because I wanted colored wheels.

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.
Best regards

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 Madam,

The delivery was not made to my home, I paid nearly 8 euros for home delivery, I was at home when I received the email from TNT saying that I was not present at my home, I had to go to the indicated relay point.... not cool to deliver to a relay point for 8€...
Translated reviews
Response from HawaiiSurf
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.
Best regards

Hello Sir,
We would like to apologize for this size error and also excuse our partner GEODIS for this incident with the package.
We have discussed with you so that you keep the board you received despite everything. We will credit you a voucher of €50 and send you materials so that you can repair this small scratch on the paint of the board.
We wish you a good end of the year.

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.

Response from HawaiiSurf
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

Hello,
She will be able to pick up the package by presenting a copy of your ID, either physically or a readable scan or photo on a smartphone is not a problem.

I had a 10€ discount code that I registered during payment but it was not validated when I contacted customer service, I was told I would be called back, I'm still waiting and otherwise they would deduct it from the next purchase. So upon arrival, it's always the customer who suffers. Personally, I will not recommend your site.

Order without problems. The product is compliant with the description. But where it hurts is that I was delivered in 15 days because the delivery company was blocking the product due to a dispute with Hawaii Surf.
