what is the most reliable online store for skis and bindings? Because i was told that tramdock and skiboard are very slow and "refused" to comunicate with you.

Tramdock is def legit. Once i ordered a helmet, they sent me the wrong one, and they sent a new one to me before they even got that one back! no questions asked. I got the helmet wednesday, called them, They emailed me a shipping paper, and the new one was overnighted to me on wednesday, got there thursday because i needed it for that weekend. they are sick.

proctorjones is also good, or jibij

getboards.com....haha no, but seriously, I have never had a problem there. Jibij is the shit though, you should seriously buy your gear there.

TRAMDOCK. They have the best customer service in the business. And they're helping out so many Am movie makers this year, which is also cool. And they have expedited shipping, and if it doesn't get to you on time they'll refund it.

Oh... and the free shipping on orders of $50 is standard shipping 7-14 days, but it rarely takes that long. It just isn't guaranteed until after that long.

Same here.

Love buying stuff from there. I have made a few purchases and the gear comes real quick. Shipped out the same day I ordered each time, and arrived the next day.

Prices were awesome as well, and I called them regarding boot fitment and got a solid honest answer.

Don't use Getboards.

I have had very good dealings with Tramdock, my stuff got here super fast, with only regular shipping.

backcountry, because they have a lifetime warranty on all of their skis, so if say, you broke you invaders after 3 years, and LINE's warranty expired, you would get a full refund by sending them back

untracked is sooo legit, its based up here in maine, and they're so chill. I snapped one of my px12's and they just hooked me up with a free pair. They usually have free shipping, and they send em out real fast.

sorry to be the poopy pants in this thread but I have to once again reccomend getboards, only because I have never had a bad experience, and I have gotten some insane deals.

However, judging by all the negative feedback others have had, only use them if you find something WAY cheaper, and can deal with possibly getting your gear after they promise it.

jibij is first choice for me, tramdock, backcountry, untracked are all incredibly legit, but you might just cruise by getboards.com, you never know, you might find an insane deal on some last years stuff.

Ugh.

Yes.

Untracked.com is beyond legit.

Ordered my Invaders last winter from them. They showed up 2 days after I ordered them, and with free shipping.

They have an awesome selection of shit, and if you call them with a question, they give you good service.

Just go to a local Giro dealer?

They should be able to help you out, and if they don't slip them some personal cash.

I got insane deals from getboards, with 5-6 day shipping across the nation, and they came in 2 days. GETboards is legit
