Post-Delivery FeedbackSep 10, 2026
My online experience with GoalieMonkey was excellent.
Unfortunately, once I had an issue and needed customer service, the experience was the complete opposite.
I first tried calling several times but could not remain on hold long enough to reach anyone. I then tried the text option and received no response. I also tried the instant chat feature and again received no response.
Finally, I decided to wait on hold until someone answered. I waited 1 hour and 57 seconds. I actually took a picture of the call timer because I was so shocked by the wait.
When I finally reached someone, the experience did not improve. My concern was simple: the day after receiving my order, I found the same product at Pure Hockey for slightly less. I asked whether GoalieMonkey could match the price.
The immediate response was essentially: “No. If you don’t like it, return it.”
That was not what I was looking for.
I did not want to return the product. I was satisfied with the purchase. I simply wanted to be heard and treated like a valued customer.
Over the last year and a half, my son and I have spent $8,558.32 at Pure Hockey, including $4,234.71 in just the past nine months. I was genuinely looking for an alternative and had every intention of shifting more of that business to GoalieMonkey because I liked your pricing, product selection, and delivery experience.
Unfortunately, after this customer service experience, I am now questioning whether I want to spend any more money with GoalieMonkey at all.
Professionally, I work with multi-million-dollar organizations in leadership, sales, customer service, process, and growth strategy. Companies pay me very well to help build systems and processes that allow them to scale successfully.
So I say this with respect, but also very directly:
You have a customer service problem.
If someone asked me today whether I would recommend GoalieMonkey, my answer would be absolutely not.
Not because your products are inferior. They are not. Not because your pricing is worse — in many cases, it is actually better. Not because your delivery is slower — my experience has been that it is faster than Pure Hockey.
In fact, in those areas, my experience with GoalieMonkey has been better.
The issue is entirely the customer service experience.
I can see that GoalieMonkey is growing and opening additional locations, and that is great. But growth without the proper customer service infrastructure can become a serious problem very quickly.
One of the simplest rules in business is this:
Customers will eventually pay more somewhere else if they are treated better. You can absolutely grow yourself out of business, and poor customer service is one of the fastest ways to do it.
That is exactly where I am today.
Unless someone from senior leadership reaches out to me and addresses this experience, I will continue giving that business to Pure Hockey moving forward, even if it costs me more.
I am not looking for anything unreasonable. I simply want someone at the appropriate level of the company to understand what happened and why a customer who was prepared to spend significantly more with GoalieMonkey is now prepared to walk away.
I hope to hear from someone soon.
P.S. Feel free to review the call logs, text records, chat history, or any CRM notes associated with my account. I am confident the timelines are there and will support everything I have described. I am not exaggerating my experience or frustration.
