“I dare you to ask for a discount!”
Written on: 05/11/2012 by mailer (1 review written)
This review is best described in percentages as will become clear .A Big thanks to the 50% of the staff I encountered at Lockwoods who were friendly and helpful (a middle aged lady with blonde hair and a similar aged gentleman). Not so to the remaining 50% sour faces who happened to be on the checkout as ski gear for my wife and kids totalling £704 when through the till. “Any chance of some discount for being such a good customer” and I would also return for my gear. There was some... (read more)

“Opening times”
Written on: 21/08/2012
Great service from knowledgeable folk. Situated in an area with little quality competition, but boy oh boy why are they open for such a short period? Sureley someone must realise how much more business could be done if only the place was open for trade when customers were available! (read more)

“Fantastic Customer Service”
Written on: 31/12/2011 by redbell
I bought a pair of ski boots in Jan 11 and after over 3 hrs tweaking them i went away a happy customer. However, when i actually got to the slopes all was not well and after just two runs i couldn't stand the pain any longer, the boots had to go. So i returned to the hire shop! On returning, i went back to Lockwoods and spent another 3 hours having the boots remolded and tweaked to get them to fit. I think that it must have been the numbness in my feet but i thought they were now fine... (read more)

Written on: 19/09/2010 by billyboy08 (1 review written)
Really struggling to give Lockwoods one star to be honest. They have some great equipment (as do many other ski shops) but the attitude of the manager makes you want to walk straight out again. I had a problem with a purchase a few weeks ago and after a brief discussion with a member of staff they passed me onto the manager. What a waste of time that was!! In this day and age you do not expect a shop manager (I think owner in this case) to have such an attitude towards his customers whn they... (read more)

Written on: 15/07/2010
I travelled for a couple of hours to visit this shop and I have to say it was well worth it. I bought some custom shell ski boots which have been fantastic. I didn't realise there was so much involved in picking the right ski boots and having them made to fit. The staff were extremely knowledgable and helpful and it was reasonable busy for a random Thursday morning. Definately worth a trip and has some good ski wear and accessories too.

“Bought a top from Lockwoods Ski Shop, Leamington Spa,...”
Written on: 20/03/2009
Bought a top from Lockwoods Ski Shop, Leamington Spa, when I got it home some of the stitching was faulty. Manager refused to refund the money offered a voucher. I found the owner/Manager very rude and didn't seem to have any idea of customer care. Some good equipment and some good staff (read more)

“I was recommended lockwoods from someone who was sold...”
Written on: 21/03/2008 by huggy2008 (1 review written)
I was recommended lockwoods from someone who was sold some foot beds by them, I needed a pair of walking boots.
My feet were measured so much more thoroughly than anywhere else.
The boots I got fit so well and are so comfortable for what I do.
They have so much knowledge on boot fitting and how the foot behaves and spreads out etc.
I had no worries buying front hem when I live about 100miles away, their fit guarantee is the best ever.
Try them - you will be impressed.

Written on: 20/09/2007 by TheGreatSandaledOne (30 reviews written)
Being semi local to this shop and a keen skiier I have to say that these guys are possibly the most experienced and approachable team of people I have ever dealt with face to face. And not just for skiing stuff but for other outdoor pursuits. The store is a bit out of the way but then again the sorts of things that you would be shopping for would often warrant a specific journey!
The ski tech guys in the back of the store really know their stuff. As good skiiers themselves they offer...

Written on: 25/07/2006 by Tony H (1 review written)
After 4 days of wear of a pair of £60 sandals (during two weeks) the owner refused to provide a refund but would only mend the product. After two further days wear, and on breaking again, the shop owner only under duress, refunded my money. However, he refused to sell me another pair of sandals stating "any normal person would only expect a repair" and that I had high expectations of a pair of sandals. He was also to repair the sandals and sell them second hand when I believe the product... (read more)
Lockwoods's Response to Tony H's Review
Written on: 01/08/2007
In this particular instance, Tony H. was particularly unpleasant and irritated the manager, and as a result the manager was not able to provide his usual customer care. The sandals were successfully sold on to someone who was delighted with them.

You win some and loose some.
Sometimes customer care can be stretched to the limit.
All the staff remember the customer and will be pleased that he will not return to the shop.We are all human!
Most customers find our service fantastic.
