No.  Run away really fast.

It is basically hit or miss.  But if you wanna see something funny, check out the Better Business Bureau rating, which last time I checked is an F.

Check out evogrear or Jibij.

Me:

got a sick deal on their summer sale once, 99 bucks for scratch 120 bindings, came slow, w/e it was the summer and they came with plenty of time before winter


ordered tees, they fucked up 1 tee by giving me longsleeve & the wrong color, another 1 by giving the wrong size, and didnt even include another one i ordered (but they didnt charge for that). and that was 6 or 7 tees ordered.

I've had mixed results. One time it was fast quick shipping. The next it was the slowest shipping and terrible customer service. Telling me like 2 weeks later that the credit card didn't work. Then told me they were out of something I wanted after I fixed the CC problem. so idk.

they blow
ordered skis and they sent me the wrong size, so I tried to return them and they told me they were out of that size.  So then I asked for a return slip and it took over a month to ship to me.

I got a great deal on a pair of arw's that came in perfect condition right when they said they would.  Maybe I was lucky, but that's the oly thing i've bought from the site, and I had no problems whatsoever.

It is just super hit or miss.  I have had good transaction, and I have gotten screwed, as have many others.

Why give them your business when there is other shops around who are much more legit?

Yeah.. its like a 50-50 chance you're either gonna get screwed, or you're going to get fair service...

I've gotten stuff from them for a fair price, and shipped in 1 day.. (i live only hours away from the place)

Another time they fucked up bigtime so I went down to thier place, and they gave me some bullshit that it will be sent the next day.. waited a week... 2 weeks.

Eventually it got to me, but it was super lame.

I haven't ordered anything from them, but their prices seem really expensive.
Evogear tends to have good deals and service, and Jibij has really good customer service, but not as much selection.

I bought a pair of bindings without any problems... I have heard things though.  And I think I was susposed to get a free subscription or something I never got.

i've had my fair amount of problems with getboards so i'm probably never ordering from them again. just go to any of these sites for 100% legit transactions:
www.backcountry.com , www.tramdock.com , www.rememberdelaware.com , www.jibij.com , www.evogear.com , www.untracked.com , www.proctorjones.com , www.porterstahoe.com ...
probably missed a few but i'm sure you'll find what you need in any of the sites mentioned.
