I tried to order some Swarovski binoculars, but they never shipped in over a week. I don't think…read morethey had them is stock and they never shipped them. Varuste.net is impossible to get in touch with and customer service is non-existent. I recommend you avoid this seller at all costs. I know their prices are good, but you will never get what you ordered, and you will have one big frustrating experience with them.

I ordered shoes on 2nd September, thinking I have 365 days for possible return, because that's what…read morewas written on the website. This month I decided to return them, unused, originally packed, but the shop refuses to accept it, telling me JUST NOW that their return conditions have been changed on 1st September and actually it's now just 60 days - but NOBODY has informed me anywhere about this HUGE change and surely that was not mentioned on their website either at the time of my purchase. The shop clearly failed to fulfill its own responsibilities which is to inform customers about suddenly shortening the return time by 305 days. This is completely unfair towards me and I can say that this is my worst experience with an online store I have ever had. The customer service is very bad as well, it's very hard to get any response, especially in such situation.

That being said, I go through sports clothes like most people go through underpants. Coming from California where we wear yoga pants and flip flops year-round, it is outrageous that one can't find decent fitness wear that is not designed by Stella McCartney in this city. I'll take decent quality at a reasonable price over questionable quality that costs more than a kidney, thank you very much. Besides, I have LuluLemon OUTFITS that cost less than Nike pants or a Puma running jacket here in Helsinki. Hint, people: order that shit online. Nike running pants do NOT cost 80e ($100 give or take) in the US. I digress. I like their in-house brand, SOC. If I can't buy real yoga pants (people: REAL yoga pants are flared at the bottom, not ribbed) here, I'll settle for the Stadium brand running pants or tight, compression, cropped sports pants. They're a great deal, very comfortable, and true to size. Also - great selection of sports shoes and great prices on those. Their sales are remarkable. Their kid's clothes are great, and the sales staff are warm and helpful. If I knew how to snowboard without breaking something, I would totally shop here for gear. Best selection of North Face in the city, too. Oh yeah- in California we also live in our North Face. So...this is kind of like being at home to me.
