Finnaly got my setup back from the shop today it took them about 2 weeks to get to mounting my 05-06 pe's with new p12's. I'm pretty physched and all but I got them (mounted at core center) and I took a look at the mount and one is mounted about a half of centimeter back from core center. So one of my skis is mounted at +7 and the other at +7.5...maybe im just bitter because my setup was my christmas and birthday present and I thought well fuck they'll get it right but im not sure yet if I am really gonna feel and and If i am what can I do about it? Should I be pissed?

they can't remount the same binding that close to the original holes it makes the screws more likely to pull out of the core. Definitely ski them first and then take them in and say you realized it while skiing, then they will have to give you new skis. Chances are the guy at the shop stripped one set of holes by accident/misdrill and then put another set as close as he could to try and cover it up. Either way there should be a new ski in your future.

smack a hoe! definately let them know and have them remount it or refund some money, because now that you know its off center, when you're riding it wont leave your mind and you'll always think it feels weird.

walk int o the shop with three things, your two skis and a fully loaded glock. I would throw the skis at those fuckers, and be like "what the hell is this bitches? I'm gone kill everyone of you!" and then I would take out my glock and drop everyone there. I would shoot the crap out of those fuckers and then set the shop on fire. I would also take all the skis out of the shop, and keep them for myself. Teach those bitches a lesson.

Just don't use a shop that doesn't mount them right in front of you right there at purchase time, unless it's jibij.
Jibij charges 15 and everyone there is certified.
My little local shack went out of business but he would mount them and show you right there while you watched.

seriously just take out a ruler and look at 5 millimeters. I know in theory you should be pissed, but in reality, it doesn't even matter. People say that .5 cm on a ski is a big deal? When you're skiing, it is impossible to notice. you people tell me your skis don't move forward and backward more than 5 millimeters. It doesn't matter

that sucks man, even though it wouldnt make a big difference like someone said above itll always be in ur head, take the skis back and demand a new pair, say that "you may want to move the bindings in the future, and excesses whole on one ski could interfeer(sp?)" dont settle for anything less than new boards, be firm and take em to small claims or some shit if they dont.

dude is violent! ME, on the other hand, would do all the same but load blank caps and have the actual rounds in my pocket or nearby nook, just in case, and threaten to shoot ereone till u got wat u wanted- if u shoot ereone b4 u get them remounted, all u did was sentence yourself to hell (a pair of skis that are still mounted wrong!!!)

you should definately call them out.
even if it doesnt make much of a difference. Its extremely unprofesional of them. And 2 weeks is ridiculous, it takes 5 10 mins to mount a pair of skis.

don't do anything rash...they're human. what you should do first is take out a tape-measurer and measure them yourself to make sure that it's not a graphics flaw
