A really smooth service!

I had been keeping my eye out for a specific saddle to become available on the saddle bank and when it did the service I received was perfect. They explained exactly the process that I needed to go through. The people I spoke to were clear and helpful and the saddle arrived in perfect condition and exactly when they said it would. I would definitely use this service again.

5 * for the Saddle Bank

I have used the Saddle Bank a few times over the years, firstly to sell a saddle of mine (which they did, quickly and effortlessly), then to purchase a second hand one (with the amazing Amy, she came out with a huge selection of stock and nothing was too much trouble) and then for advice on what would fit my new horse as we had moved out of their area. Every time the Saddle Bank staff have been so kind, thorough and extremely knowledgeable; they are always willing to help, will go above and beyond to offer advice and provide information even if it isn't going to result in a sale for them. I cannot recommend the Saddle Bank enough, if you need anything tack or saddle related these are your people. Thank you :)

Sold two saddles to the Saddle Bank

I was looking for an easy straightforward way of selling two saddles that we no longer needed. I have heard nightmare stories about people selling privately online and I felt that selling via the Saddle Bank would be more secure and straightforward. I followed the process on the website which was really easy and straightforward, filling in the details and uploading the photos that they needed, again which was really easy. Within an hour I had one valuation and the second one came the following day. I spoke to the office with a few questions about boxing up the saddles and they were really helpful. I liked the fact that the saddles are insured by them once picked up by their courier. I accepted the offers online and chose my preferred courier pick up time. Within a few days I received emails to confirm that the saddles had been received and payment arrived in my bank account. I would definitely use the service again as the service was relatively quick and straightforward and thank you to the staff were very helpful and well informed. Michelle Greene

They valúed my saddle more than I asked, therefore honest and reliable. Collection was arranged, and communication clear and consistent. Money in my account quickly- have recommended to friends.
