Terrible experience. Purchased boot from this retailer through Amazon. I like to support smaller shops, but I am in between sizes on the boots and need to return. Discovered that the return shipping fee they charge is $60 for the boots, which is insane and was not described on the listing. Robbery when other retailers charge at most $10 return shipping. Will never use them again.

Great Customer Service! As a newbie to cross country skiing, I was overwhelmed trying to research the different types of skis, boots, and bindings I would need. I came across a complete set on skiessentials.com's website, and used the chat-bot to ask a bunch of questions. Mike A. emailed me back the next day and was able to tell me exactly what sizes of everything I'd need, sending along sizing charts and informational material! He was super friendly and nice, also! I haven't yet received my ski kit, but I'm confident that I'm going to love them!

Getting it done! Initially there was a problem with my order. Long story short, Ski Essentials did right by me and gave viable options. As a consumer and also someone that has been in sales my entire career. That's all I can ask for, is to be treated fairly. My skis arrived and the packing/care was tip top. They even mounted my bindings! Before purchasing I had referred a couple people that purchased, now they will continue to get positive word of mouth from me!

Received a wrong spec of product Received a refund on return shipment & $30 2-Day Air, being offered 2-Day shipping on the order for 2nd set of skies. Received a wrong spec of product, paid extra $30 for 2-Day Air but a carton arrived after 4 days. Sent an email, left a voicemail but no response since this morning. Horrible shopping experience with them.

Amazing people and products Amazing people: friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. I learned a lot and really felt they had my best interest. They even talked me down from a more expensive ski because they knew what I was looking for. I will never go anywhere else to buy ski equipment other than ski essentials and Pinnacle (their B&M)
