Question 3

Lab Rats TESTER program

Accepted Answer

Lab Rats TESTER opportunities is an ongoing program hosted by Box Skate Lab LLC. We typically have "tester opportunity windows" periodically throughout the year and socialize those periods over our social media channels.

To be eligible for consideration to be a TESTER you must be over the age of 18 or over the age of 13 with a parent's permission. Submitting a TESTER form DOES NOT guarantee you will receive a product to test however, we do keep all submissions and recycle them for future testing opportunities. If you are selected to become a tester you will receive one or more of our products at no charge for testing and review.

*We do our best not to send testers blem decks, but in some cases we send out decks with small imperfections. The deck itself will have no mechanical differences or limitations and most imperfections are not even noticed.
