Super easy way to sell a saddle!

I used the Saddle Bank to sell my old saddle and it was such an easy process. I was given a quote which was for more than I was expecting to get for the saddle. I had a few queries and always had quick responses. Payment was received really quick once they had received the saddle. Would highly recommend!

Flocking issue - refunded without fuss

Great customer service. Have ordered twice from the saddle bank and while one saddle was perfect, the other had an issue but sorted immediately and without fuss.

Efficiency at its best

I bought a saddle as described and hesitated slightly about my decision but received a follow up call from the staff. I ordered my saddle and it arrived perfectly packaged and just as described. In addition I sold a saddle back to saddle bank and the transaction was seamless. Thank you
