Got an approval to return broken line reactors, sent them back with a request to call when they processed the return.....

No email, no call.

Ive called them 3 times now, get there voicemail everytime during BUSINESS HOURS....and no call back. No email address on their website....

Ive seen threads like this before, and after I get my money back Ill remember to give my business to a local shop.

yeah they fuckin piss me off. they do have an email though. i waited for my chronic wides to be shipped for about two months and i sent them an email. they had "forgotten" to tell me that the chronic wides were on backorder. by then i was ready to throw some shit and break some shit, and by the time my skis finally got there, i opened the box, and found not chronic wides, but just the normal chronics. had to send those back and they refused to give me express shipping on the chron wides adn i had to wait a few more weeks. one more small error by getboards and i was gonna burn some shit down

That sucks man, from what I know, most shops are closed up here in Big Bear... it's like they're on hiatus or something... If I pass by there I'll let you know if they're open...

I've read countless threads about getboards sucking ass. My personal experiences have been only good with them though. I know 2 other people other than myself that have ordered skis from them and had no problems at all. I've also ordered a shirt and ski bag and had no problems.

yeah they take forever to do anything. It took them a whole month to ship me a siver puffy jacket i ordered. It's definitley annoying and shit that nobody needs to deal with or should tolerate.

nah getboards is dope. go in there and kick it with them, good people running a VERY busy online shop. they are doing their best to improve their service this year and i cant even count how many times ive ordered from them and not had a single problem. so either your very very impatient or just fags.

royce its prob because you ride for liberty and jibremix you should probably open your own shop that ships nationwide and has to deal with whinning 16 year olds all day. then get back to me.

yo i'm not doubting that they are nice people and that they are vey busy....but they have a worthless history with customer service. I ordered 1260's from them a while back, they said they would ship in 24 hours. after a month I still didn't have anything. After calling for 2 weeks straight they finally shipped, and charged me full price for shipping with no apologies. so no, i'm not impatient and i'm not a fag...they just don't give a shit.

one time i ordered helly hanson snowpants from them and the seam was sewn in crooked, the said it wasn't there fault, technically it isn't but its not very cool to sell shitty products, and they said there was nothing they could do about it, hence like 120 down the drain

the only problem is that sometimes getboards is the only place with the stuff you want.

Getboards has been closed this week. I just passed by there today and they were closed. I would give them a call next week. But yeah... I dunno about internet orders, but if you go there in person, they're chill.

who gives a shit if they are closed this week, if they had half a brain they would state on their voicemail that says they are OPEN seven days a week.....they can call me back, i shouldnt have to put any more effort into it.

"Ive seen threads like this before, and after I get my money back Ill remember to give my business to a local shop."

if you had seen threads like this before, why did you still order from getboards? poor decision on your part, my friend.

the email address is on their website. for customer service, it is support@getboards.com and i got that from the website.

my only expirence with getboards, i did get my sweatshirt i ordered for christmas. i got it in the middle of march. that was after emailing and calling them multiple times, but wait, it gets better. when i got my sweatshirt, it was torn to shit, in both the front and the back. so i called them and told them, they said wait and we will send you the stuff for you to send it back. it took about a week to get that, so i send it back. its now middle to late april and still no sweatshirt. i waited that long because i knew about their problems. im starting to get really pissed, because this was the only thing i wanted for christmas. my mom called them and they told her that they were sold out of the sweatshirt, and that they would take the charge off of the credit card. im still wicked pissed about not getting the only thing i want for christmas, especially since it wasnt even that expensive. from my only expirence i have had with getboards, i now will never go back to order from there.

theres a picture of the front, and it looks like it was cut. there was more of that in the back, along with the whole top back looking like shit and then they still sent it out

ALWAYS GIVE YOUR ONEY TO A LOCAL SHOP/ They know more and can/will discuse any issue you have with skiing before leaving the front door.

support local shops! you wont have ANY of these problems, it may be more expensive right off but in the long run you'll save tons of money, especialy once they know youre a regular.

I would say selling a product you don't have, and don't plan on getting any more of a con.

Hahaha, for sure man... you don't know how many times I've gone to the shop and theres no one in there... I'm pretty sure if I wanted to I could walk in and walk out with a few pairs of skis and they wouldn't even know it. hahahaha... as long as I have a waiting car outside.

i think we should search all the hate threads about them, compile them into a email and send it to them somehow. then maybe they will realize what there doing wrong, personally for a while after reading so many bad threads about them, i though it was some kids running out of their basement.

Dude, to be honest, the place IS run by kids. Every time I go there, the only people working are 15, 16 17 year olds. I've never seen an adult there.
