A eviter absolument

Achat d'une selle d'occasion Cavaletti. Envoi rapide, mais plus de 200 euros de frais de douane pour passer la selle en France ! Selle d'occasion censée n'avoir jamais été utilisée : l'état extérieur est bon, mais la selle est totalement déséquilibrée en termes de matelassures : obligée de faire revenir ma saddle fitteuse une deuxième fois pour l'équilibrage. Moralité : entre le prix de la selle, les frais de douanes , les consultations de sadlle fitting et le changement d'arcade... Eh bien ça ne valait vraiment pas le coup ! // I bought a used Cavaletti saddle. Fast shipping, but over 200 euros in customs fees to get the saddle into France! The used saddle was supposed to have never been used: the exterior condition is good, but the saddle is completely unbalanced in terms of the padding—I had to have my saddle fitter come back a second time to rebalance it. The bottom line: between the price of the saddle, the customs fees, the saddle fitting consultations, and the change of saddle tree... Well, it really wasn’t worth it!

Bates Saddle

I recieved my quote very quickly, the service was fantastic and the money from the sale was in my bank within days. It took all the hassle out of selling a saddle that was surplus to requirements.

Great customer service, all queries I had were solved very quickly. I bought a lovely Bates Victrix of which both me and my horse absolutely love! But I also sold two saddles to you which I have never done before so it was all very new to me as to what I had to do but you all made it so easy giving me step by step instructions and I'm so happy knowing both saddles are in great hands and hopefully someone will make great use of them instead of them sat around collecting dust in my tackroom.

Fast, simple & easy!

Couldn’t fault the saddle selling process. Communication was excellent and it really took the stress out of selling. Fast payment too. Would use again!

Bought a second saddle this week after such good service purchasing a dressage saddle earlier in the month. Exactly as described and a super easy process. 😊

Quick and easy sale of saddle

I was sceptical of sending off my saddle at first, as most would be sending something of value without the payment before hand. But I am so glad I did, from the moment I had an offer to buy my saddle, too the payment in my bank was little over a week. No hassle, no messing, straight toward. Would definitely do it again!
