What Are Skate Warehouse's Shipping and Return Policies?

Updated

Skate Warehouse advertises two headline policies: free ground shipping on orders over $60 and free 60-day returns. Those are the terms stated in the site's own description, so they're the baseline to plan around. Before you order, confirm the current details on the site itself, since thresholds, exclusions, and return conditions can change and the full terms page is the authoritative source.

Shipping

Item What the site states
Free ground shipping On orders over $60
Orders under $60 Ground shipping cost is not specified in the available site information
Carriers and speeds Not specified in the available site information
International shipping Not specified in the available site information

What this means in practice: if your cart total clears $60 before tax and any exclusions, you should expect the ground shipping charge to be waived. If you're a few dollars short, adding a small item — mounting hardware, stickers, bearings — can push you over the threshold and may cost less than the shipping you'd otherwise pay.

What to verify before checkout

  • Whether the $60 threshold is measured before or after tax and discounts.
  • Whether oversized or heavy items (complete skateboards, bulk orders) are excluded from free ground shipping.
  • Whether expedited options exist and what they cost.
  • Whether shipping is available to your country if you're outside the United States.

Returns

Item What the site states
Return window 60 days
Return cost Free
Condition requirements Not specified in the available site information
Exclusions (e.g., worn shoes, assembled completes, sale items) Not specified in the available site information
Refund vs. exchange Not specified in the available site information

A 60-day free return window is generous for skate gear, where fit and feel matter — shoes especially. The practical caveat is condition: most shops require items to be unworn and in original packaging, and assembled or ridden completes are typically treated differently from unopened decks. Treat the 60-day window as the outer limit, not a reason to delay inspecting your order.

A sensible routine after delivery

  1. Open the box and check every item against your order.
  2. Try on shoes and clothing indoors, on clean flooring, before removing tags.
  3. Test-fit hardware (trucks, wheels, bearings) without mounting if you're unsure about sizing or compatibility.
  4. If something is wrong, start the return within the 60-day window rather than waiting.

Payment

The site lists Stripe as its payment platform, which generally means standard card payments are processed through Stripe's checkout. Specific accepted card networks, digital wallets, and any financing options are not detailed in the available information — check the checkout page to see what's offered for your order.

Deciding Whether to Order

  • Order if your cart clears $60, you're buying standard-sized gear, and you want a return window long enough to cover a sizing mistake or a change of mind.
  • Check first if you're ordering internationally, buying oversized items, or need expedited delivery — none of those are covered by the stated policies.
  • Always confirm the current terms on Skate Warehouse's own shipping and returns pages before you commit, since the summary here reflects the site's advertised policies rather than a live reading of the full terms.
