Ordered from Orchard and I think they lost my package. Sucks cause I really wanted my item. Makes me reluctant to order from small shops now. Waiting to here back from them.

wouldn't this be the shipping company's fault not orchard's?

Not sure, there’s no tracking. It just says they made a label and that’s it. They seem confused too. Who knows. Still makes me a little reluctant to order from them again. Might just be bad luck.

Sorry to hear. I’m sure it was an honest mistake but that still sucks you’re not getting the item. If the label was created and never scanned/tracked technically it’s still Orchards fault and not the shipping company. If the shipping company took possession then I’d say give Orchard another chance. Hopefully they make it right for you.

Had issues with them losing pair of shoes I ordered a couple years ago.  Took a while to sort out going back and forth with emails.  Seem like good guys, and I eventually got my shoes (well, different model and color), but it put me off from ordering from them.  They need to work on their inventory tracking or something.  I’d definitely follow up until your item ships

Tyshawns for like $50 or less shipped. Direct from adidas, they also have the Tyshawn x Spitfire collab in limited sizes. Also Puigs for $50 or less shipped. I tried that premium outlets link and it was “down for a restock” or something along those lines.

When ive ordered stuff from orchard i have had it sent to MA and CA. The MA stuff was shipped that day and the CA order took a week or two to get out. Tracking was created but it sat for a while. I think its important to be patient when they have a sale on top of $5 shipping. Not trying to say it doesnt suck for stuff to get lost and to be waiting or feeling in the dark- stuff does get lost and stolen in mail.

Also, when i have had issues or questions aboit an online order from a core shop, i usually just call em instead of trying to email. Gets sorted a little or a lot faster and making the connection is cool.

Good luck

35th Ave is having a sale on past season stuff

https://www.35thave.com/shop/Sale.htm?fbclid=PAAaYw4C2yPXqpIfO2r1XtTU7rH1d9kVeDydDtcTCXTqHH45P9arDYpi-Nl-Y

For some reason, this one made me realize how sad it is that "Sale" deck prices are the exact same price as what full price was when i was a kid. Didnt know how good we had it during those $49.99 days, when youd try to find those $34.99 deals.

For real, There used to be a shop in town I skated for. Decks for regular customers were about $75 with grip back in 02'.
I thought that was soooo WILD. Now kids come in and get a Baker with Grip and its alomst $80, Trips me out..

I think you’re just impatient, considering you always complain about waiting on orders. Orchard is good people and if there isn’t tracking, they’re still working on packing your order. I’ve always gotten stuff with 5-6 days if not sooner.

Oh I’m sure they’re good people. Just venting cause I had bad luck with packages lately. If it doesn’t come they’ll give me a refund so it’s no biggie.

Gonna say I back orchard too. Hit their shoe sales around Black Friday pretty often. Order about 5 pairs at a time and have had no problems. It happens tho. Good idea to call the shops phone.

Yeah Orchard have been reliable for all my shoe purchases.  They also have a sick team and put out rad videos.

Nope, I’m in the US. Wholesale deck prices have increased about $10 in the past few years.

Turns out I wasn’t being impatient. Always trust your gut. They contacted me back and confirmed that they’re lost (dropped off without getting receipt). Anyway, they offered to order me another pair from another shop and gave me a discount code. So it’s no biggie.

I’ve ordered hundreds of items online and never saw UPS’ tracking stall like that so I kinda knew something was wrong.

But this seems to be a fluke occurrence. Just glad they made it right 😀

I use UPS quite often and they have royally bonked some shipping recently. Lost 2 packages outright and there's a weird thing where the tracking updates many times per day and when it does it dramatically alters the delivery date. Usually the packages still arrive exactly when they were originally estimated but I'll have a customer email me asking why the delivery date is 6 months out or something.

Orchard is good people, they always go out of the way to make things whole.

In this case it was just bad judgment. They said there was a long line and the UPS crew told them to leave it on the side, they did, but later found out they were supposed to get a receipt lol. Shit happens though. Glad they got to the bottom of it. But if someone here ordered something from them last weekend and haven’t had updated tracking I’d look into it, cause they probably dropped off multiple things that sadly weren’t scanned.

Anyway, I’m using my coupon to order something else. So it’s no biggie.

Love me some $40 gripped loveseats all damn day.

Riding my first loveseat now and it's been great. I grabbed another one during a crail sale but I'm tempted to stock up again with two more. I was thinking of trying the 8.5 twin tip from crail though, just not sure if the AF-1 66's I'm on will be too big

For those of you who ordered from that adidas shop premium outlet sale I posted last week.


My shoes arrived Friday. I received the tracking number today. They were also shipped directly from adidas.
