Grind & Garms looks like a UK streetwear shop, but customer reports describe non-delivery and counterfeit goods.
Grind & Garms presents itself as an independent UK streetwear retailer with a clean e-commerce layout and standard shopping calls to action. However, the site's own pages could not be fully reviewed, and independent research surfaced multiple adverse customer reports. One buyer says an order placed in late February received no dispatch update until early March, and the Royal Mail tracking only ever showed that the shipping label was created, not that the parcel was handed over. Another buyer says the Essentials tracksuits are fake and identical to a £20 version from a Chinese vendor. A third report states simply that the order was confirmed but the item never arrived. A security vendor also marked the URL as suspicious. The domain is only 492 days old, and no operator registration or contact details were reviewed. Technical checks found no malware or phishing and a valid encrypted connection, but those clean checks do not address the commercial conduct described in the reports. The score reflects a High Risk rating because the adverse customer evidence points to a shop that may take payment without delivering genuine goods.

Investigation Brief
Grind & Garms presents itself as an independent UK streetwear retailer with a clean e-commerce layout and standard shopping calls to action. However, the site's own pages could not be fully reviewed, and independent research surfaced multiple adverse customer reports. One buyer says an order placed in late February received no dispatch update until early March, and the Royal Mail tracking only ever showed that the shipping label was created, not that the parcel was handed over. Another buyer says the Essentials tracksuits are fake and identical to a £20 version from a Chinese vendor. A third report states simply that the order was confirmed but the item never arrived. A security vendor also marked the URL as suspicious. The domain is only 492 days old, and no operator registration or contact details were reviewed. Technical checks found no malware or phishing and a valid encrypted connection, but those clean checks do not address the commercial conduct described in the reports. The score reflects a High Risk rating because the adverse customer evidence points to a shop that may take payment without delivering genuine goods.
What buyers report
One customer says they placed an order on 27 February and did not receive a dispatch update until 6 March. The Royal Mail tracking only ever showed “Sender has despatched item,” which the customer interprets as the shipping label being created without the parcel actually being handed to Royal Mail.
A second customer says the Essentials tracksuits are fake and that they ordered the same tracksuit from a Chinese vendor to compare, finding them identical and costing only £20.
A third report states that the order was confirmed but the item never arrived.
Technical checks versus operator conduct
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. These results mean no malware or phishing was detected at the time of the check; they do not vouch for the shop's commercial behaviour.
A saved antivirus observation marked the URL as suspicious, and the domain is only 492 days old. The site's own contact details were not reviewed, so the operator's identity and registration remain unverified.
Why the score is 28
2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "I placed an order on 27 February and didn’t receive a dispatch update until 6 March. The Royal Mail tracking only ever showed “Sender has despatched item,”…". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What a visitor experiences
A visitor browsing the site sees standard e-commerce calls to action such as “Shop new arrivals” and a dispatch promise of “Order before 11pm for next business day dispatch · Stocked items.”
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
After ordering, the customer reports describe a different outcome: a shipping label created but no parcel handed over, or a tracksuit that is identical to a cheap Chinese copy.
Do not order from Grind & Garms. The customer reports describe non-delivery and counterfeit goods, and the operator's identity and contact details could not be verified. If you have already paid, contact your bank or card provider about a chargeback and keep all order and tracking records.

Final verdict
Grind & Garms looks like a UK streetwear shop, but customer reports describe non-delivery and counterfeit goods.
Grind & Garms presents itself as an independent UK streetwear retailer with a clean e-commerce layout and standard shopping calls to action. However, the site's own pages could not be fully reviewed, and independent research surfaced multiple adverse customer reports. One buyer says an order placed in late February received no dispatch update until early March, and the Royal Mail tracking only ever showed that the shipping label was created, not that the parcel was handed over. Another buyer says the Essentials tracksuits are fake and identical to a £20 version from a Chinese vendor. A third report states simply that the order was confirmed but the item never arrived. A security vendor also marked the URL as suspicious. The domain is only 492 days old, and no operator registration or contact details were reviewed. Technical checks found no malware or phishing and a valid encrypted connection, but those clean checks do not address the commercial conduct described in the reports. The score reflects a High Risk rating because the adverse customer evidence points to a shop that may take payment without delivering genuine goods.
