5 out of 5 starsWhen FedEx couldn’t find my address to deliver my stilts I received excellent communication and dedication via PegStilts. I was really impressed with how I was treated as a costumer and when I finally received my order I was impressed by the quality. Highly recommend! Just make sure you don’t try and ship to a PO Box.

5 out of 5 starsthese are overall nice stilts, the foam padding at the top isn't quite sturdy enough on its own though. I ended up getting additional Velcro straps to wrap around my calf several times to give it more stability overall. I also recommend getting some smaller Velcro straps to strap from under the foot support to behind your able!

5 out of 5 starsMy grandson lived them! He hid them all under the sofa the first night so his mom wouldn't put them away. Quickest shipper I've ever purchased from. Superb seller!

5 out of 5 starsThese blocks are beautiful! I bought them for my son and his cousins to have at our summer cottage. They loved them. Sanded smooth as silk and a great variety of sizes and shapes! Highly recommend.

PegStilts.com History:
Walking on stilts started out as a hobby. I really enjoyed being up tall, costuming, and performing. I also wanted to share the experience with more people in my community.
In 2008, myself and some friends started an all-women stilt walking group in Portland, OR. This was an opportunity for women and girls ages 8 and up to learn to stilt walk in a supportive and safe environment.
While establishing the group, I realized how hard it is to acquire affordable well made Peg Stilts in the USA, so I decided to offer a stilt making workshop.
The stilt making workshop gave the women (and girls) an opportunity to use power tools (some for the first time ever) in my workshop and to build their own stilts. Later, they would all learn to walk on on them. Our goal was to create animal costumes and to stilt walk in an Earth Day procession of the species parade.
After the stilt making workshop, I continued to build stilts on my own as a hobby, mostly selling them to my circus and gymnastics students in Portland, OR.
Over time though, I honed in my design to be the most sturdy, and most affordable stilts I could offer and started up a business PegStilts.com which has continued to grow slowly over the years.
Now PegStilts.com has peg stilts in nearly all of the US States and some in Canada, the Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, and New Zealand too!
Since 2008 Kricket Caffery has built each and every pair of stilts, they are all woman veteran handmade in Portland, OR. As of July 2016 PegStilts.com has moved from Portland, OR and is now located in a new tiny house and big shop in Lakeside OR on the Southern Oregon Coast, just north of Coos Bay/North Bend.

Returns and exchange details
If you are dissatisfied with your order for any reason, please let Kricket know immediately (within 48hrs of receiving your order).
Please contact Kricket through the PegStilts.com Contact Page or by calling 503-236-7327 so that we can work it out and find a solution for you.
PegStilts.com DOES NOT ALLOW for returns based on:
Changing your mind, not using the product enough, you're having financial hardships, your gig got cancelled, fear of using the product, or ANY other reasons that have nothing to do with the product quality itself.
You are always welcome to re-sell the item in your local area for full value, provided the product is still in usable condition.
Even with the restocking fee (see below), returns/exchanges still end up costing ME money and time, so I really try to avoid doing returns by making handmade products that are high quality, therefore not requiring returns.
PegStilts.com DOES guarantee quality of work(wo)manship.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ORDERING, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH BEFORE YOU ORDER AND SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE AND EXTRA COSTS.
NOTICE: IF you are wanting to do an exchange because you ordered a different size/height than what you wanted, and I was not contacted prior to the order to ask about sizing, OR if I was not provided a measurement, then the customer is responsible for the return shipping of the item, IF a new order is placed I MAY waive the restocking fee (it is up to me, to be determined based on each individual situation).
IF I messed up in some way then I would be responsible for the return shipping costs, but I am very careful to ensure that mistakes don't happen.
RETURNS/EXCHANGES GET REALLY EXPENSIVE REALLY QUICK FOR BOTH OF US.
IF APPROVED FOR A RETURN/EXCHANGE:
THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL RETURN SHIPPING COSTS, ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A 20% RESTOCKING FEE ON ALL RETURN ORDERS (which covers some of my costs to ship you the original order, listing fees, and order processing fees)
REFUND CREDITS ARE NOT ISSUED UNTIL RETURN PRODUCT IS RECEIVED BY PEGSTILTS.COM, AND PRODUCT IS CONFIRMED TO BE IN NEW, UNUSED, AND STILL IN SELLABLE CONDITION at which time a refund minus the 20% restocking fee will be processed on the original order payment method.
A NEW order is required to be submitted if you're intending to buy a different size or a different product.
Customized products are not returnable under any circumstances.
DOING RETURNS GETS REALLY EXPENSIVE REALLY QUICK, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ORDERING GET IN TOUCH BEFORE YOU ORDER AND SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE AND EXTRA COSTS.
Not eligible for a return?
You are always welcome to re-sell the item in your local area, provided the product is still in usable condition.
NOTE: It is really hard to take products back, particularly stilts, as it is a liability issue because there is no way of knowing how you've used them or what may have happened to them since they've been in your care, and I don't sell used stilts or any other used products.
If you find that your stilts "don't fit you right", please read the Stilt Order FAQs.
Customer should expect normal wear and tear over time/use of products, especially with the rubber tips on the stilts.
As with most products, there are a few replaceable parts (including rubber tips) which can be found for sale in PegStilts.com WebStore.
Safety equipment, particularly kneepads, should ALWAYS be used when using stilts, no matter your comfort level.
If you order a stilt height that ends up being too tall for your comfort level:
It is possible for you to cut them shorter and replace the tread (without having to do a return), but once you cut them there is no way to make that set taller later.

If you choose that you'd like me to use your FedEx or UPS account number, then you'll need to provide me with the number.
Why is shipping internationally so expensive?
Unfortunately the shipping cost is what it is because of the amount of space the box takes up in the shipper's truck/plane.
For example the 3' stilts ship in a 5 foot tall box so they charge based on the dimensions of the box, not that the box only weighs 12 pounds.
Because their fees are not something I'm in control of, there is nothing I can do about it. I'm sorry, I really wish I could...I lose a lot of international orders because of the shipping costs and that's really a shame for such a small niche business like PegStilts.com
If you buy multiple pairs of stilts and they are all going to the same place, depending on which height(s) of stilts you choose, I can sometimes combine shipping (put in same box, they are extendable) to make the shipping cost less.
