Hike Care are a scam, they take your order and buy the item from Temu for 1/10 of the price, they quality is woeful. When you try to return they require you to pay for postage to Macedonia. SCAM- DONT USE!

Exactly like other Reviewers - … Although they are listed as “UK “-where the heck is Macedonia. I was sent the wrong size and now I’m expected to send them back at my own expense… This is absolutely shocking customer service

Don’t use this company. They are not UK based. They promise a full refund on returned items but you need to return them to North Macedonia in order to get the refund. Postage to Macedonia is over £20.00. The best they offer is keep the product and receive 20% of the cost of the item or get a100% discount on another of their products. Total scam!

Just as I see here, the customer care seems good but the product looks like a cheap knock off, not what I would have expected from what I initially thought was a UK based company (due to the name of the company).
