Very slow at posting, made a purchase two days ago and still no tracking number. I won’t be using Far again.

Fantastic service, would highly recommend and will be buying from in the future
So pleased with my purchase absolutely perfect. Excellent communication and rapid delivery given the circumstances. Thanks again ✌️✌️✌️
Found the T-shirt I’d been searching for my other half’s birthday and arrived super quick and with free stickers!!
Definitely recommend
My purchase was fairly priced and promptly delivered. You can't really ask for more - other than that they'd use the profits to directly benefit young people through an exciting education scheme, enabling and empowering them for a brighter future...which they do.
Quality customer service
The parcel was packed really well to prevent any damage
Was sent out immediately because i received it within a couple of days
5 stars for communication as i received all the tracking details and status updates of my order.
Ive purchased from these guys about 5 times and always received the same level of quality and service
Top job guys

Very quick delivery of the latest Street Plant deck that you can’t get any old place. Thanks all, much appreciated.
Excellent service, very rapid delivery in London via UPS and well protected packaging to make sure decks did not get damaged.
The shop is part of a charity so shopping and supporting the charity go hand in hand.
Have used this company loads always amazing service. One of the best skateboard shops and run by very amazing people.
There’s a lot to like about FAR Skate. They’re a charity, they stock some really cool brands, and they’re priced very competitively.
Recently I ordered a pair of Street Plant wheels from FAR Skate. Unfortunately when it came to fulfilling my order they couldn’t find the wheels. I accept that stock can go missing however, FAR Skate sent me a really nice email explaining the situation. I’d have been happy with the genuinely apologetic email however, they also gave me a discount voucher for any other wheels I wanted. While completely unnecessary, a very nice gesture and superb customer service.
I then ordered a set of Bones wheels and used my discount voucher.
These wheels were sent and arrived quickly but, not only was I sent the wheels, they’d put together a crazy package filled loads of extras and promo stuff (sweets, stickers, air fresheners, a tech deck). As a child I loved when my mum ordered from Cosmetics To Go (the guys who set up Lush) as their parcels came filled with small gifts. As an semi-adult I ran online businesses and always attempted to ensure whenever customers opened their orders they too would be pleasantly surprised. This was a genuinely fun parcel to receive and an overall example of the level of customer service so many companies pretend to want to deliver but don’t actually make the effort to.
I think these reviews speak for themselves, great shop, great cause, great overall experience. Highly recommended.
Almost half the price it should be. Honest and promt delivery. Thank you
FAR Skate do very well responding and dealing with any questions. If they have what you want in stock I'd highly recommend them. If not, maybe drop them a message and ask.
Been trying to chase down a couple of things, finally found them at FAR and cheaper too. Friendly, fast service, will use again and would recommend.
Great experience shopping with this skater driven company! Thoroughly recommend shopping with this company.
A retail skate shop, run by skaters in support of a skate charity. Perfect.
Next day delivery to Northern Ireland. Deck was very well packaged. Great stock and prices. Will definitely use again in the future. Thanks guys!
Super-efficient service, would definitely use again.
Great company with a really positive purpose who make an important contribution to their community.
Daniel was very helpful and my order was taken care of smoothly.
Thanks again.
