I purchased a Pink skateboard for my daughter and got a blue board. I contacted the company and they tell me that in "fine print it says I could get a different color" of course I did not see the "fine print" The only color listed on the site is pink. My daughter was very disappointed with the board and I am very disappointed with the company that they won't take it back. It's still sealed and unopened and nothing....I will NEVER buy from them again. Awful customer service! read more

my shipping got delayed and i was excited, i had been waiting all day, in got a deck and some shoes, its late, i spent almost 300$ for all of it and the least you could do is send it on time read more

Great selection and prices, shipping was fast. Received everything, will definitely buy from again.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Ordered a board online. Great prices, easy to build my own complete, arrived fast! There was a small issue with my order once it arrived. I just called to let them know about it, and they were SUPER helpful and definitely cared about making it right, which seems to be an increasingly rare thing these days! read more

Skate Warehouse - Beautiful board shipped fully assembled and I flipped the wheels around myself. Now if it would only stop raining outside, haha! - Sporting Goods Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

So COVID has put a damper on holiday shopping, and most small businesses have opted (by state mandate) to not allow in store shopping. However, I will say that the Slate Warehouse made shopping easy with lots of options for shipping or curbside pickup. I bought a Longboard and sweatshirt for my daughter online. They emailed me and said it was ready to pick up. When I arrived, I called the number from the clear instructions sent to me, and they brought the items right out to my truck. Great service and excellent products. I highly recommend! Cheers read more

Great shop and good people! Good selection and if they don't have what you want in the shop it's likely in the warehouse

Having bought from here a couple times, I have to point out a few things. The attention to detail amazes me! I bought griptape from here, and I have to say, the $5 shipping was totally worth it! The griptape came in a huge box in order to stop it from wrinkling during transport. In general, when I buy stuff, it usually comes in 1-3 days (CA). I love buying from here because I know skate warehouse only sells authentic parts, so I'm getting the best quality. 5 STARS read more

Zero stars if possible, this place has terrible service and the people have no idea that they're selling or what things are. Don't come here if you value your time and money. read more

Whenever I roll through SLO I always make it a point to swing by Skate Warehouse. Usually I buy around 4 decks and a set or two of wheels since they offer military discount and/or have a sale going on that you shouldn't pass up. I've been coming here for over 10 years and from supporting homies that worked here during college, being deployed 3 times and ordering boards/gear to overseas, and swinging by on a roadtrip. Slight note that recently their location has changed to now being by the airport (747 Buckley Rd.). Skate Warehouse remains the same great group of people selling skateboards, accessories, and clothing online but also with a small but legit storefront. If you're in SLO or cruising through, I highly encourage you to hit up this shop. read more

Skate Warehouse - Check out their discount corner as it holds some gems on the cheap - Sporting Goods Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This store is awesome, and they're online store is even better. One of the last online stores that don't have any BS when trying to exchange or return. Their sale items and prices are great, fast shipping, and they even include a return postage label if you are not happy with your items. I love this and makes it very easy to not have to go call customer service and get a hassle when trying to get a free return label. Keep up the great work. This is a last of a dying breed. read more

I really love how they reply fast with their emails! Their shipping is nice and fast and I also like the stickers they include with whatever you buy! With that being said, all the packages I've received from them never had a single dent or scratch Looks like Skate Warehouse is my new favorite place to shop for skateboards!! read more

If you order online, good luck getting your packages if they ship through GSO. You have to call the shipping company and schedule a time for them. Low prices at Skate Warehouse but you have to deal with non-Amazon shipping. I would avoid this place's online storefront and especially avoid them if they want you to use GSO. read more

Employees were very rude and inattentive to customers. Seemed like they did not care about the job they are being paid to do.

SkateWarehouse is great Had a custom board put together for my son for his birthday. It arrived 2 days before the shipping estimate and one of the wheels was defective. They shipped out a whole new set of wheels overnight so that my son could ride on his birthday !! Awesome service !! Highly recommend read more

Terrible! If Zero Stars was possible... first and last time visiting. Let me start by saying you don't treat paying customers like roaches, I went for the infamous Jarritos SBs. So got there a few hours early expecting to wait in a line or a raffle of sorts. I pull up to an empty parking lot. Next thing I know a group of customers approached me. Asked if I was waiting for the shoes. They informed me that if I stayed parked in the establishments parking. They "skate warehouse,"could call off the shoes sale? They told me I had to park somewhere else. Come to find out there was a line of paying customers hiding behind the building at another establishment. What kind of business makes customers hideout? No type of self ownership in part by the business to actually care about the customers and organize the sale. Waited hours on hours till the time they opened. Just to get attitude from the employee saying a snarky comment about who said there's gonna be a drop today? Everyone has been waiting all weekend long since all the other normal skate shops released on Saturday. No information posted on the webpage, nothing... leaving your customers out in the wind. Idk if it's a power trip or just kids running the shop with no respect for anyone. I totally understand it's a skate shop but if your selling shoes that are big in the shoe game. You should know what your doing and respect the culture. If you can't handle the foot traffic stick to selling online. read more

I stumbled upon skatewarehouse.com by absent-mindedly looking for Vans clothing. Nothing in particular. I ended up buying 2 pairs of shoes instead. They both showed up brand new, well packaged and the shipping was fast for anything but Amazon! It even came with free stickers which is something I'm not afraid to admit I was excited about as a 35 yr old man. I ordered on Saturday or Sunday and got them Wednesday. That's damn good. I plan on building a custom deck very soon. Support the shop, it's worth it in my book. read more

I ordered a deck about 2 months ago never sent it I emailed them but never answered I will never order from them again. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE ELSE read more

We were amped to visit this spot and were very disappointed by the guy who didn't even greet us when we walked in. No help with the shoes... not even a have a nice day. Sorry to bother the kid who wanted to be left alone instead of making a shoe sale. read more

A trusted shop with friendly service with blazing fast shipping! Great sneaker raffles! I highly recommend Skate Warehouse without reservation. I have purchased some really great shop gear to go with my sneakers! read more

Need quality skate equipment, accessories, or clothing at an affordable price? Order from here. I was looking back into getting another Old school deck to reignite the fun and passion I used to have in skateboarding (growing up sucks), so I traversed the vastness of the internet and came across this site. I like the new skateboards of course, but I'm more into just cruisin. No high risk tricks and manuevers by me anymore. I ordered my Old school Vision deck from them and it got here in 2 days! Living in CA the shipping is really fast! I mean, FAST and for free since my order was over $75! I'm assuming that they are mainly, if not completely, an online retailer since I personally haven't set foot in San Luis Obispo. Their website is very well designed and very helpful. They include tips on how to order, and what to buy in given situations and other variables in which you will be boarding. My complete deck got here in one piece and it was just as I ordered online. Thank you Skate Warehouse for reminding me of what fun I had back in the day with my old school decks. And now reliving my Gleaming The Cube fantasies I would have as a child. So if you see a guy near Civic Center BART, boarding his way to work on Van Ness in a blazer, collared shirt, and back pack, that's me : p read more

Ordered online, when I received my deck it was already scuffed up. So I asked for a return and they denied it and stated they can give me $8 in store credit because I ordered with grip tape applied. I dont want instore credit for a shop I will absolutley never be returning to. I find it ridiculous that they can have a service that voids them from damaged products. Not to metion the grip tape job they did wasn't good. It had large air bubbles through out. This is my second time going through this shop. The first time I ordered a deck a few years ago I received it warped(grip tape applied) and they gladly accepted a return. If you do go through this company DON'T order with grip tape applied. Buy a deck and get the tape done at a local shop they will do a better job and you can at least inspect the board before applying. read more

"Free 60 day returns" Orders a pair of shoes with confidence that I can return them. I can but I will have to pay $26 postage with ups 3 times... which is basically the price of the skate shoes I bought. read more

Shawn and the rest of the staff hold it down and will take care of you! Whether you need to call, go in store, they always are there to help and are super friendly. Shawn has helped me twice now find the perfect skate set up now and I can't thank him enough! He's professional, patient, kind and efficient! 5 stars for Shawn! read more

My deathwish broke in 2 weeks so I ordered a new board and they didnt even send the griptape terriable service

So my wife decided to get me a complete for Christmas she only made one mistake letting skatewarehouse staff grip my skateboard worst grip job I've ever seen my 5 year old could do a better job. Air pockets everywhere and a huge crease at the nose that is so bad it won't even stick to the board So thanks for totally fucking my board up merry Christmas won't be using skate warehouse in the future read more

don't order online because I ordered grip tape wheels and a board and they were either waitlisted or out of stock and I never got my money back when I called to ask for it read more

Kids working were all too busy with friends. When we got help the guy was clearly put out and wanting to hang with his friends. Lots of inventory, but without help who cares. I'll be going to a different shop next time... read more

Don't expect a refund if you buy from their online store. I received a scratched my deck when I bought it from their online store. I sent the goods back to them expecting a refund. They just denied my return and told me they will be sending the deck back. Never buying from them again. read more

I bought an item and then it went on sale the next day. After requesting a price adjustment they denied my request. Fine by me, ill return the goods and then repurchase them. However, after shipping them my item, they refused my refund without explanation. wow. I was promised free returns, however even though my return was unused and they refused to refund it. Screw me. You can find stuff cheaper on other websites. I bought multiple skateboards from them because I thought they were legit. Another company making false promises, I'm never buying from them again. read more

We (my wife and I) had made a large order online, for in-shop pickup. Two completes, shirts, cups etc. And because we arrived around 45 minutes before they closed, we were greeted with two pale, greasy and very rude, apathetic employees who obviously felt slighted by our late arrival. Since we all know how arduous and laborious working in a skate shop is, how unfairly skate shop proletarians are treated, how unsafe, dangerous, and oppressive their work environment really is... I guess I can't blame them for being forced to apply grip tape to two decks, a half hour before closing. I imagine their hands were already cracking and bleeding from all the forced labor they had clearly done that day, and their entire lives. It's not as though they're privileged central coast residents who have never worked a day in their unbathed lives, and don't sit on a stool doing absolutely nothing for 6-8 hours a day, 2 or 3 days a week. Yeah, skate shop employees have it rougher than even 3rd world cobalt miners. read more

Helpful staff (via phone), but it is 01/2022 and their doors could safely be open once again...

I had won a SB raffle and did not receive the checkout email . I called the store today and spoke to a every nice employee . They immediately went to see what happened with the email, resolved the issue and even called me back . SB's are so hard to get and Skate Warehouse went above and beyond . This is my first purchase with them but will not be my last . They earned a new customer today . Thank you . read more

This place is great. They always have what I need so I can go out and KILL IT. Sometimes it's hard to find shoes in my size but I manage. read more

Skate Warehouse - Sporting Goods Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Just to preface this review, the storefront is really just a "pay-n-pickup" for their online store, so it's recommended that you know exactly what you want before you get there, because while you can avoid shipping costs, there's really not much available to peruse. Being someone who has skated since I was a wee lad, I've been to my fair share of skate shops. That being said, if you think that the nearby Central Coast Surfshop is anything but a clothing store, I feel for you man. Please don't buy a skateboard at a sporting goods store unless you know what you're doing, otherwise your poor kid is gonna beef it HARD when their incompetent plastic wheels get stuck on a tiny stick. You have to find the real deal. You have to go to a true skate shop. Unfortunately, after visiting Skate Warehouse, I'm still searching. Having heard rave reviews of this place in high school from my friends who regarded a skateboard as more of a religion than a form of transportation (myself being in the latter category), it immediately came to mind when my girlfriend decided she would like to learn to skate, and I decided I would like to teach her. At that time, however, I figured the "Warehouse" in their name was some kind of indication of the size of the shop. Well, that is certainly true to some extent- it's literally in a warehouse, however, all it really means is that 99% of the space is devoted to their mail-order business (something which there is no indication of based on the name alone or indeed even the Yelp reviews at large). The first thing you'll notice when you get there is the ten or so punk kids buzzing around on their skateboards with no place better to be. This would be a non-issue, as every decent skate shop comes pre-packaged with a similar crowd of parent-less extreme sportsters, however, this particular brand of loiterer will be kind enough to dog you with that "What the hell are YOU doing here you god damn scrub?!" look, as they try their damnedest to invade your personal space and act generally obnoxious. Look kid, I know you think you're hot shit now because you can do a kickflip and ollie a three-stair, but talk to me in a few years when your knee is blown out because you've bailed one too many times in a ten-foot concrete half-pipe and we'll see who's a bad-ass then. We promptly went inside and tried to pick out a complete deck for her, and I was shocked to see that they have hardly anything on display. It's cool though, no big deal. I am willing to take some blame for not researching them first. However, good luck getting the bearded hipster behind the counter to notice you with the 100 kids in there who have no intention of buying anything ever bullshitting with him about nothing in particular. Then, when he finally has a free ear to acknowledge you, you'll have to give him a loud "um, excuse me?!" to get his attention after twenty minutes of waiting just so he can act annoyed that you exist as he points to the computers in the corner and explains "We're basically just an online retailer. This is where you can pick up purchases." As if you're some kind of idiot for not knowing that already. It might seem overzealous to be offended by all this, but keep in mind that I'm trying to get someone new excited about a sport I know and love, and it's nothing short of embarrassing to have to spend the whole time explaining away to them why its practitioners are a bag of dicks. Save yourself some trouble and pay for shipping. read more

It took me awhile, but I'm glad I found this website! My son was looking for the latest and greatest Nike SB Janoskis and no other website had his size but the Skate Warehouse. OK, granted it's Christmas time and perhaps everyone else was looking for the same thing, but to find them a week before Christmas and may get it before then, I'm feeling quite lucky to have found these shoes... I'm surprised that the Skate Warehouse didn't come up as one of the top sites when doing a search. Your website is simple and straightforward, unlike another site that couldn't even take a discount code. Your site automatically knew without asking for a code. Whoever set up your site, did a great job! It leaves a lot to be desired for those other sites. Thank you and I'm sure my son will be happy when he sees his new Janoskis! Happy Holidays! read more

Purchased a deck from them and the order was processed on a Friday, the deck was shipped with Fedex and I received it the next Wednesday here in Sweden. I couldn´t be happier. read more

I ordered a "build you own" board online and chose a board with a pretty neat graphic and this perfect light wooden color on the underside. Upon receipt the board was blue and black and their response was that they have no control over the color of the board and that there is a disclaimer apparently online (who knows where) about it. I feel cheated as a customer and there is no sign of the store taking responsibility. Buy at your own risk. read more

Skate Warehouse hooked me up with an Almost 8" deck with Tensor trucks, Almost wheels, and shielded bearings; all for about $50!! Great price and excellent customer service! Super speedy delivery with my online order. read more

Called to purchase skates. They walked me through the sizing process. Talked to me about plates, once I decided they took my order, I paid, they sent me my skates, plates, wheels and bearings. The skates were the wrong size, off by at least 2 sizes (too small). I called to send them back to get the correct size, didn't even want a refund, just wanted skates and plates that fit. They basically told me to bad, that I should have come in. When I had called. They said they didn't actually have the boot in the shop. That is why they helped me size them. I would not buy anything here. read more

I bought a brand new board from them . Mind you not a cheap bored . It broke after and Ollie a 180 and a kick flip. Too busy to get in there a month later I try to get something cheap in return, Maybe even a blank deck. Was told no due to the month wait. So I proceeded to get a quote for a blank deck. Was $20 . Their customer satisfaction wasn't worth $20 .... Very bad place. Hope they can make this right. Very frustrating to get a faulty product and be told "it was your fault". read more
