Avoid for Large/Expensive purchases (Skis/Ski Equipment, etc)
Purchased an HO Syndicate slalom ski at the start of last season from Tallington.
The ski had a manufacturing fault and snapped clean in half during a ski set last weekend. The ski injured my knee and damaged my binding plate which now needs replacing as well.
I returned to the Pro shop the day after the incident to organize a replacement ski. I bought a new ski on the spot, spending another £1,000 so that I could continue skiing through our short summers, and was told to expect an email regarding compensation/refund. Total spend over £1,900 on the two skis (not including the other purchases at the time and throughout the years).
Today, they replied, stating that because my purchase is slightly out of warranty, there is nothing they can do, and they are unwilling to help. They quoted a warranty duration that is not advertised on their website Returns/Fault product policy.
Despite having been a customer for many years, they are unwilling to entertain any form of compensation for the faulty ski.
I then requested contact information for someone to escalate my claim and and also the supplier of the ski. They refused to provide any contact details.
If you're looking to purchase any expensive gear, such as skis, bindings, or other equipment, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
