apparently they are pretty unreliable with their shipping man, definitely give them a call

Hahaha, ok, I guess this is where the biased information comes in on this issue being as I'm from Big Bear and all. Getboards as of late has been restocking stuff in their shop and have recently acquired a warehouse in Big Bear City, so they're busy getting all of their stock set up to better facilitate shipping to avoid situations like in the past. In all honesty, my dealings with Getboards have been very pleasant. Tony, the owner is pretty chill, and allowed me to do a payment plan for some THA 187s. They only had one pair for $399, and I didn't want to pass up on the deal, but was broke. Anyways, I think they're a good shop to deal with locally. I've been hanging out there a lot lately. I could go stop on by sometime this week and check up on people's orders that have not been recieved. Just PM with your name and what you got and I'll stop on by to see what the deal is...that is if they let me intrude on their business.

I haven't seen them in the shop yet. They might be in their new warehouse though. I'm gonna be going next week to get some siver pants and some bindings mounted, so I'll check.

Dayum, look at all the getboards hate. Hah! I guess this will be good because then none of their stuff will sell, and all the locals will jump on their going out of business sale.

Seriously, it seems like getboards may suck for online purchases, but if you're local (i.e. SoCal) definitely check them out, becuase they're not as bad in person.

It's really just a mixed bag with getboards. Sometimes you get your stuff really quick, and sometimes you don't. Just gotta call them to make sure they have your order and have shipped it.
