Skate Warehouse is doing a gift card sale where you get a gift card for spending a certain amount until 12/5. $25 bonus for $125, $50 bonus for $250, and $100 bonus for $400.

yeh cant trust em no more after data breach and their absolute shit shop decks

not for me & i wouldnt recommend to anybody

I saw the insta post about data breach protection is that real? in that if you have purchased from there you need to protect yourself with the offered fraud protection.  Never ordering from that place. Seems to have this happen often. 

I work at CCS fro a while in San Luis Obispo.  I think Skate Warehouse is a lot of the same dudes.  Good people at the time but this was years ago. 

[augustmoon]

honestly, who cares.  shit literally happens all the time with online retailers and your money is insured.  it sucks and its an inconvenience, but a class action suit over it is completely ridiculous.  it was an error and its been corrected, no need to try to ruin a decent shop over it.

Sorry to add another nonsale post, but Skatewarehouse is my online go-to. Never had CC issues, but I also always use guest checkout.

Knock on wood. I’ve ordered from SW a few times after and before the breach. And at this point I’ve not had an issue that I’m aware of atleast. But I also only ever use guest check out.

[finecojeffe]

Anyone get a random email for a class action against skate warehouse? I found one in my junk-mail, which I assume it's also a scam. I never had issue with SW, but also I only used paypal through them.

Those are them.  I don’t understand parade world.  It’s like a left. Overs market place? I wear 10.5 80$. But in size 12 they are 50$. Interesting sales model.   Is it like Ross or Marshall’s of skate goods?

Its very strange.

Its a marketplace of local skate shops. Think like Ebay where its a bunch of different individual sellers... but for some reason they hide who the sellers are now (this was a change from when they started). So you might be buying from a local shop in Boston or Texas or whatever, but you won't really know?

Its weird. I don't know the exact details of how sales like this one works for example.

Its fine for getting one rare item or one things that's on sale, but if you are trying to grab a bunch of things all at once, you are going to be paying shipping individually for each one.

Thedrop.com is the same model; I've used them a bunch of times with no issues. Nice thing is it's always free shipping, and most of my orders have come from 303 or pharmacy boardshop. If a site you want to buy from has a minimum purchase amount for free shipping, I check there as they might be selling the same item with no minimum. I did that a bunch with the Primitive sale. On top of that I just use a new email or put a '.' in the email and I get 20% off as well.

You would expect an online retailer to take reasonable protections when handling your PII and they did not. Simple as.

I use my account for checkout, always use PayPal linked to my CC (with great fraud protection anyway).

Retail businesses are in a tricky situation rn. A lot of them placed big orders during the high demand/supply shortage of the pandemic and are sitting on a glut of inventory. A potential rail strike (which i support) would put more pressure on supply too so clearing house now could mean problems down the line. Looks like our overlord have decided to take the railworkers bargaining power away though so who knows what'll happen.

Anyway, tough spot, especially for a fast fashion business like skateboarding.

you shut down the railways you only worsen an already grim economic situation. I get people want to support unions, but it's like if suddenly the electric power industry decided to strike. it harms everyone.

It sounds like we should give workers what they want, then.

[layzieyez]

My Tilly Element rail arrived today. Came FEDEX and in great looking shape.

I can't wait to be able to do strenuous activity again next week since I had a medical procedure on Tuesday.

Sounds like post vasectomy instructions.  Lol. Don’t ask how I know.

SWH has the new Royal trucks going at $30-ish a pair for the standard raw models. Worth picking up if you're curious

[Allen.]

I couldn’t imagine suffering credit card fraud for some royal trucks

folks caught on that the shop they were ordering from may be running a code, so shoppers would then order directly from the shops.

Parade gotta get theirs

I’m listening to mine including wearing bike shorts to keep my middle aged nuts from swinging around painfully.

23% off at 303 until Wednesday. It works on sale items too. There's apparently some exclusions but everything I added to the cart got the discount.

lol what a terrible take. Just because you get sale-price Bones Reds from them doesn't forgive their laziness and negligence.

You going to defend Equifax next?

Yeah, it happened twice I think. I was affected by it once; new credit card, updating autopays. I won’t be ordering from there again.

[FUBAR]

That 303 sale is RAD.

Has anyone bought from Brooklyn Projects online before? I ordered from them a week ago and haven't heard anything...they seem to have a good reputation but wanna know what experiences you all have had?

It is the busiest time of year for any package delivery service. There will be delays and slowdowns. It's part of the game of shopping these holiday deals.

[augustmoon]

I think a week is actually kind of a long time to not hear *anything*, busy season or not

[MetalAnkleMan]

I agree, I understand something like the FA warehouse sale and those delays but a smaller skateshop sale with a week of no update is different, all in all im sure I will receive my package and be patient

[streetmeat]

its funny coming from a hobby like backpacking where it takes sometimes months to a full year to get gear you ordered. i have a box from FA thats been nearly a month since ordering and it hasnt phased me. not everything is amazon prime
