Getboards loves to charge your credit card before they have stuff in stock. Someone should report them to the Better Business Bureau.

Although I've heard many poor comments about getboards, my one experience with them was great. I ordered a pair of skogen's and line reactors with next day air because i wanted them before that weekend. The next day the skis and bindings were at my door. I guess it's hit or miss with them.

So I looked them up on the Better Business Bureau to see if they are listed, they are...grade F.

If anyone is interested here is the link

^ ouch

i have ordered from them maybe 2-3 times in the past and those orders went fine. i ordered a shirt a beanie and a video. i didnt feel like waiting on the shirt or trying to find another that they had in stock so i cancelled the order. plus i figured it would take them another month to ship the revised order. and i dont have any local shops that are worth buying from. over priced and dont do much in the way of twin tip skiing.

I ordered a siver jacket, pants, and a few tshirts and sweatshirts about a week and a half ago and they got to my house yesterday so maybe you just got some bad luck. they did send the wrong color jacket, but I called and explained what happened and they were pretty cool about it. The only reason I ordered from there though versus D-Structure is that I had a 10% off thing, but I've ordered from getboards a few times with no problems.

shit, i've actually been in getboards in big bear. they're a bunch of fucking idiots, and that is not an exaggeration at all.

"do you guys have a medium K2 factory team sweatshirt?"

"yeah, it's in the back let me get it for you." he takes an hour and comes back out with an extra large.

"ehhh dude, i need a medium"

"oh yeah, sorry man i'll be right back." he comes back with a small.

"dude, i need a freakin medium."

"shit i am so sorry man. give me a sec." he comes back out with a green line hoodie...

...and i walk out the door...

man, last time I ordered at getboards.com was when it was still chapell-skiboards.com...pretty much because it was the only online shop at the time. They were decent back then, but now it seems it has all gone to poop - :/

They just don't have a clue about shipping/ordering. When I ordered my skis, they were like, "we don't have them in stock now, but they'll be here at the end of the week."
THE END OF THE WEEK
"Oh, we forgot to order them."
My credit card is billed.

A WEEK LATER
"The shipment is on thw way."

A WEEK LATER
"Oh, we forgot to order your size."

TWO WEEKS LATER
"We got the shipment you'll have them by Wednesday."

THE NEXT FRIDAY
Skis come without the t-shirt that had been promised to me.

FUCK GETBOARDS

jbij has received invaders, just not the 178's man. those are coming in tomorrow. a pre-order means that you pay for the skis in advance, and they ship to you WHEN THEY ARRIVE AT THE SHOP. they will be shipped to you the same day that jibij gets them. if you look on the line site it even says they are trying to ship skis out as quick as possible. jibij isn't stiffing you, so don't bitch about it. hold you goddamn horses boy.

getboards has the shittiest service EVER. i bought from them once a couple years ago and they didnt ship the skis for around 4 weeks after i placed the order. then it took 2 weeks to arrive here...so much for 3 day shipping you fuck bags. getboards can suck a dogs penis and then get shit on by a goat.

call up josh and order a t-shirt or something just so you can hear how he says "jibij" when he answers the phone.

I ordered a video from them a while ago and it came 2 weeks late, so I was pretty pissed. But then another months later, I recieved a battered box with the same video, even though I had only ordered one, and they charged me for it! They wouldn't take it back either because it was damaged!

they did in this case, but they charged it 2 weeks after i placed the order. my order was never shipped out. i would guess if your order was instock and would arrive on time they would probably wait til it was shipped out

Oh fuck me, I called both Jibij and D-Structure to see if they have the items I wanted in stock and they were sold out. So I decided to order from getboards hoping it will work out for me. 2 weeks later nothing. I hope you fuckers get burned down.
