With all the product that we carry at our shop it’s hard to have EVERYTHING up on the website. If there is a particular item that you cannot locate on the site feel free to ask us by calling or emailing us and we can check on the stock of any product.

You can check your order status two ways. The first being to log onto the www.raveninlineskates.co.uk and clicking on the ‘My Account’ Button on the top right hand corner. Please note that if you plan on changing or updating ANYTHING on a CURRENT order you have to call us. Any changes made online to current may not be reflected on the actual order. The second option for checking your order status is to call us and to speak to one of our staff who will let you know exactly what is going on with your order.

If you are looking to buy an item and your size is not online it is out of inventory. Items such as skates, frames and wheels are easily restocked and if you give us a call we can let you know how quickly we can get the item back in stock and set up an order for you.

Any items marked “Pre-Order” are not in stock yet, but by purchasing a pre-order item you will be guaranteed the first of the shipment that arrives. Items marked for Pre-Order are usually limited in quantity by the manufacturer and high in demand with customers, thats why if you want to secure the product and not run the risk of it selling out it is a good idea to pre-order.

It is advised that if you plan on ordering both ‘Pre-Order’ items and well as items in stock, that you place a separate order for the Pre-Order so that the other items are not held up waiting for the Pre-Order items. Call us with any questions concerning pre-order items. We often post the estimated time of arrival for pre-orders, these are estimates given to us by the manufacturer as to when we can expect the product – there is no guarantee that the item will arrive by that date. We do our best to update the ETA but it is ultimately up the manufacturer when the product will arrive. Usually that will not take longer then 7 working days.
