Amazing service received from Adam, I was having difficulty choosing the right cruiser and Adam gave me some solid honest advice. In the end I chose the Landyachtz dinghy and oh my what a fun board, it's so rad, even an old git like me can have a ton of fun on this thing it's amazing! When I need a replacement I'll definitely be using Vandem again, thanks guys!

Great board! Ordered it and ordered on Friday and got it by Monday. The board was top quality, I bought the Landyachtz board and it was so clean and smooth. It came with free bearing lube which I'm scared to use since I don't even want to take the board apart because of how clean it is. Definitely recommend buying from here!

You can trust these guys 100% to guide and provide what you need! I wanted to get my son his first board and also get one for me (not skated in over 20 years) - blown away by the knowledge, patience and passion both Adam and Rich have for skating. I’m not the easiest customer to please (I have high expectations when it come to product knowledge and customer service) - this was sincerely one of the most pleasing buying experiences I’ve had (and I don’t say things for the sake of it). Ended up buying the Landyachtz Ralleycat for me and a Dinghy for my son - both incredible rides. Well done guys - keep up the awesomeness! D

Helpful, speedy postage, exceptionally knowledgeable - as a female first time longboarder in her 30s this was a completely different experience to the unfriendly reception I got nearly 10 years ago in a different skate shop and left feeling silly for even wanting to try. Thanks Vandem!
- Back To The Books, July 15, 2020
Incredible service. Very helpful and insanely quick responses and delivery. Could not think of a single way they could improve. Highly recommend!

Product ordered: Landyachtz Tugboat UV Bengal White / Purple Cruiser Board
As a beginner, I was recommended by the Reddit longboarding community to send Vandem a whatsapp message - We ended up buying an Arbor Axis and a Landyachtz ATV for my wife and I.
Their advice was brilliant, pricing fair, super fast delivery. Really great people to talk to and to buy from. We will be returning, we're really confident in the quality of service and experienced advice that Vandem provide. We're super happy!
- Sam Pascoe, July 14, 2020
Fantastic! Best customer service I have received by far. I know nothing about longboards, I I thought buying the right one for my husbands birthday would be tough but these guys made it so easy! Quality boards from a quality shop...Couldn’t recommend them enough. My husband is absolutely over the moon with his board. Thank you :-)
- Chelsea Woodward, July 12, 2020
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the great advice and super quick delivery, above and beyond what I had paid for. Service does not get better than this. Great company to use. Thanks again
- Mark Waters, July 12, 2020
Special ordered a board, and received a really quick email response that it was out of stock. Rang the store and got great help choosing an alternative tailored to what I wanted. I ordered online shortly after the call and the board arrived the next day. Would definitely buy here again. Really liked that there wasn't any plastic packaging used in delivery too.
- TOAT NH, July 12, 2020
Customer service was excellent took delivery today and very happy with the product and service. The website and buying guides help a lot in choosing the right board. Thank you.
- Jonathan Mertens, July 12, 2020
First class company , superior communication.
Thank you
- Jez Lucas, July 12, 2020
Been coming to these guys for years now and will continue to. Wheels, trucks, hardware, protection, apparel, I've used Vandem for all these, which have become extremely well used! Advice and great service at your finger tips, the end of a phone and hopefully face-to-face again before too long.
- Ed Carter, July 09, 2020
These guys talked me through choosing my first board I've bought for years. I thought I wanted a dedicated carve setup, then I thought I wanted a pintail or dropthrough, but after loads of daft questions from me and some brilliant advice from them, it turns out I really needed something different, so I went for a landyachtz rally cat. Superb service as ever from Vandem. Fully recyclable packaging, speedy postage, and a nice hand written note. I've bought spares and bits from these guys before and I can't recommend them enough!
- Iain Graves, July 07, 2020
Ordered my first board from the website and the guys were quick responding that the board may take some time to come and recommended a few alternatives, chose the Arbor Axis 37' and couldn't be happier. These guys know what they are talking about and everything arrives promptly. Can't wait to visit the shop in person. great job guys
- Matt Fay, July 06, 2020
I made an enquiry about stock, got a near immediate reply and ended up preordering my Tugboat Bengal UV. Board came quick, looks great! Brilliant service from Vandem! I wish they would open a store up here on the North East coast!

Recently got myself a new cruiser after not skating for a bit of time, ordered myself a Fuel from Lush Skateboards and it came in fantastic time! Couldn't be more pleased with the service, the packaging or the product. Special thanks to Adam for the note too! You guys deserve a lot of love! Carpe diem, homeboys!
- PunkPharaoh, June 15, 2020
Very helpful advice to the dad of a kid new to longboarding, very prompt delivery of the item also. Will shop with you again.

Been hunting for a long board for ages and I found these guys. Adam has been epic. Looking forward to getting my deck. For your longboard needs see if Vandem can help.
- Chris Poole, June 06, 2020
Hands down best shop in the UK for longboard gear. These guys are doing good work.
- Milkgod, June 04, 2020
Fantastic service & 24 hours delivery... Highly recommended! Good work guys!!
- Paul Weller, June 04, 2020
I'm very impressed by how fast my order got dispatched and delivered, plus the excellent costumer service. Everything arrived as expected and I'm extremely happy with my new board! Thank you all guys.
- Pedro Alves, June 04, 2020
Just Great. I bought a cruiser for my Nephew (as he'd been riding my oversized 80s pool board). Thought it might need a few upgrades at the low price. Turns out to be fantastic. Really great quality trucks, deck, wheels and even abec7 bearings. Rolls smoothly on the pavements and I'm wanting to keep it myself now. Super fast delivery and awesome communication. Highly recommend.
- Mike Foreman, June 04, 2020
Couldn’t have been more helpful or more accommodating. I initially rang for advice which they gave without expectation of anything in return. After returning the board I initially bought to the supplier (not Vandem) I ultimately purchased a new board from them in the solid knowledge that I will get something they knew inside out and were selling because they skated it and loved it. The product I have ended up with is superior quality and I reckon it will last me years. I’m going to be a customer for life.
- Tom Day, June 04, 2020
Ordered an amazing complete longboard that arrived next day and promptly ordered some new wheels for it the day after. The courier messed up the delivery but Vandem still took full responsibility and issued full refund. Wonderful service and happy to help if you call. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!
- Liam Bokser, June 04, 2020
Great service. Great people. I’m new to longboarding. But got lots of helpful advice. Would definitely recommend.
- Jon Buesden, June 04, 2020
Skater owned and run - friendly and super knowledgable! I've been buying from VANDEM for nearly ten years and would recommend them to anyone.

Product ordered: Cult Chronicle 65mm Longboard Wheels White (Stoneground)
I ordered some gloves online as "B-stock" and expected to need to tidy up some stitching or something similar but I honestly can't find a fault with them. They arrived in good time with stickers too. I will definitely be using this shop again! Thank you
- Oli Morris, June 04, 2020
I ordered a Landyachtz Tugboat UV Bengal cruiser and I genuinely can't remember the last time I received such good customer service. I originally wanted the board with a different graphic, which was unfortunately out of stock. (Not only in Vandem, but literally everywhere i looked) However, they emailed me soon after with alternative graphics and still came through with an equally awesome board. Delivery was super quick and was 2 days earlier than expected. Nice touch adding stickers and a note too.
big love from Wales x

I decided to reignite my love for riding during this lockdown period - the service, the advice and the overall vibes from the team were fantastic. The level service transcended beyond pre-sales into after-sales with further advice about setup.
A hugely positive experience and I will definitely be coming back. Loving my LY Tugboat.
Thanks!

Ordered some wheels and a set of slide pucks. Thought "Meh, Covid-19 plus I knackered my ankle t'other, I'll go for free delivery" Arrived mega fast. Came with a nice hand written note and a load of stickers that totally made my day.
New to this longboarding lark (It's a lockdown hobby) but loving it so far. If you want some kit in the U.K. you'd do much worse than to give these guys a little money. Will be using again!

I was looking for a board! I did NOT need to look any further! Vandem looked to be highly reviewed, and now I know why. I visited the website and was impressed, so rang them up for a chat. Adam was super helpful, and also just a sound guy! He knew his stuff, and 24 hours later I was holding my new Lush Dagyr on an elite setup. The board is sweet! And Vandem are awesome! I 100% recommend them, have already put another friend onto them, and I'll definitely be going back! GET YOUR LONGBOARDS HERE!!!!!!

There's a reason these guys have 5 out of 5 star reviews, brilliant service, great advice and a pleasure to deal with. I phoned up late on a Friday afternoon on a whim. Ordered a LY Rally Cat deck and built it up over the phone with advice from Adam. He built it up and got it shipped that day. It arrived on Monday is just stunning and a great ride. Adam even included a load of stickers and a nice handwritten note. Top notch from Vandem, support your local skate shop and order from Vandem!

Perfect Service! Made the order over the phone on a Friday morning which was made super easy by Adam. Order was prepped and shipped with an estimated delivery date of Monday/Tuesday. My order arrived on the Sunday in perfect condition with a few freebies thrown in. Such an easy process and will definitely be using Vandem for future purchases.
- Sam B, May 17, 2020
Experts on all things boarding they make sure you get what you need even if that means suggesting not to buy something.
They've always been willing to talk through every and any question I've had and never not had an answer.
Genuinely the best service and they only stock good quality products. If they don't stock it it's probably not worth buying and if they do it'll only add to your ride.
