With Skate Asylum ordering is easy. Use the links on the left-hand side of every page to find what you need, then click the add to basket button for any items that you wish to buy. The contents of your basket are displayed in the box at the top right hand corner on every page so you can see a running total of items you are ordering. After you have finished your selection, click on "Checkout Now" and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the ordering process.

When placing your order, please ensure you give the correct contact information as incorrect details will delay processing your order. Although we are happy to deliver goods to an alternative address (eg. your place of employment), your billing name and address must match that of the credit/debit card used for payment. If details don't match, then further checks are carried out to protect both our customers and ourselves from possible fraudulent transactions. Orders are only despatched once they have passed our security checks.

Once you have placed your order and completed the checkout process a confirmation e-mail is automatically sent to you. Please check your incoming e-mails for this. We are finding that due to tighter spam controls on individual pc's, sometimes these e-mails are mistaken for spam and not allowed through to you. If after a short time you haven't received your order confirmation please contact us by phone or e-mail and we can confirm whether your order has been received.

At Skate Asylum we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you are unhappy with the products in any way you may return them within 14 days of receipt, for either a full refund (less delivery charges) or a replacement. All you pay for is the return postage. If the reason for return is because of an error on our part, or the product is faulty, we will also refund the cost of the return postage. Refunds will be made as soon as possible after returned goods are received and checked by us.

In all cases please telephone or e-mail us using the contact form here before returning an item. You will be issued with a returns number which must be clearly marked on the outside of the package. This will help in the processing of your returned package and avoid any unnecessary delays.

When returning goods, please include in the parcel a note of your name, address, the order number from your invoice, contact telephone number and reason for return. Please also state whether you require a refund or exchange.

We would advise you to at least obtain proof of posting when returning goods, as loss or damage during return shipping is the responsibility of the customer.

Returned items must be in a new and unused condition, with all tags and packaging included. All returns are checked by us before a refund is issued. We will not accept returned goods that are not in a saleable condition.

Please note that dvd's and videos cannot be returned for refund unless sealed as new in their cellophane wrap.

Please note that due to the nature of the sport, we will not replace broken skateboards. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Our postal address for returned goods is:

Skate Asylum,

Shildon,
Co. Durham.
