GoalieMonkey

We purchased new goalie skates for our son who needed new skates bad. He plays a high level of hockey and we were in the middle of a season. We purchased through goalie monkey and when the skates arrived, we learned quickly that they had a manufacturing defect and the blades were installed wrong. We called goalie monkey and explained our need for skates and that we had already given away his smaller skates and we needed skates quickly. Customer service could not have cared less about our predicament and refused to ship new skates until after they received the old ones AND took 5-7 additional days just to review the problem. We explained that we spend lots of money on skates that arrived damaged and now we have no skates for a high level goalie who needed them. Again, couldn't have cared any less than they did. Terrible customer service. Will NEVER purchase through them again. They could have paid for skates to be overnight'd UPS and had new skates in the mail to us once we confirmed old ones were OTW. We understand it was a manufactured issue but goalie monkey didn't even try to help us. Buy goalie equipment elsewhere.

Bought a new True 6.0 goalie stick for sons Christmas--new product, new manufacturer. Goalie Monkey delivered fast as customary, son loved stick--until it shattered just below the handle mid-first-period of his first start. Not a place a stick should break, not under pressure, clear manufacture defect. Goalie Monkey deferred responsibility to True, True stated their warranty was from time of purchase, not actual use (shame about that 'keeping it wrapped for Christmas' tradition, hmmm), no one wanted to man up behind their product. We are out $150+... but Goalie Monkey (and True) have shown us their character and are permanently out customers. Recommend finding a vendor who will stand up when needed; they have proven they are not that.
