Oh shit I pre-ordered reasons from them already. Guess I won't be getting that for a while. In a week if it's still not here I will just harass them a bunch until someone personaly makes sure it was shipped.

Welcome to Getboards buddy. 

I've never had a good experience with them.

Sucks when it takes a month and half to ship within the same state that you live in, let alone receive the wrong product, let alone have them not follow through with promised swag for being so late.

There are other sites now that will give you free shipping for a $50+ order and pay the sales tax for you.  That's where I shop now.

This is why you should do a search for getboards before ordering!! heaps of past experiences here, most not good. Customer service is generally non-existent

Well in the event that they actually get the email and view this thread, then maybe they should have a look at some feedback in these threads too..

I'm pissed at the-house.com right now. It took them 7 days to ship my order, they gave me a fedex tracking number that won't work, and it's been almost 3 weeks since I ordered with Fedex "5 day delivery"

I FUCKING HATE GETBOARDS.COM.  I'm so glad this thread was made.  The website is seriously run like it some guy in his basement selling random gear to people who are stupid enough to buy it from him because they think its a legit site.  Half the shit on there isn't even in stock and it still lets you order it without ever telling you you'll never get it.  I'm still trying to have some supposedly out-of-stock 4frnt poles that I never received recredited back to my credit card...absolutely no fucking cusomer service...Sorry for the rant.

After speaking with "Tom" on the phone for half an hour he rudely told me that they shipped my stuff USPS without telling me after I had paid for Fedex. There's nothing I can do and I'm not getting the money I paid for shipping back because "the bank won't let them". The tracking number tells me that my stuff has been in customs in Mississauga since monday.

Never ordering from them again.

I ordered a pair of pants from them this summer and it showed up pretty quick. I was satisfied, but get-boards.com sounds very sketch. I will never buy from them.

a couple years ago i ordered some skis from them. after about three weeks of them not arriving i started to email them and call them. after another few weeks of hassling and dealing with getboard's shit, i found out the skis were on backorder. A month later the skis arrived at my house. BUT THEY WERE THE WRONG FUCKING SKIS! i sent them back and finally got the right ones a few weeks later. those skis also broke that season.. i try to avoid dealing with getboards now.

Because they make most of their money from their onsite store. They have a rental section that I am sure makes them more than enough for the season.

Imma play devils advocate here. If you go to their actual store they're very nice and will hook you up with good prices and discounts and stuff. I've bought two pairs of skis from them and gave me free mounting privileges. I've mounted the same pair of skis there twice and both times they've done it for free.

With that said, even though I like getboards shop and their owner is chill, the warehouse part, which is where the stuff that's ordered online gets shipped from is poorly runned. I don't think I would order online from getboards unless the deal was amazing.

I have had some problems with getboards in the past as well.  You have to call and talk to someone.  When they tell you they will call you back, ask them when.  Then, when they don't call you back, cause they normally don't, call them again.  They will eventually put in some effort.  It sucks but it gets it done.

just do yourselves a favor   http://www.porterstahoe.com/istar.asp?a=3&dept=H11

they pay sales tax and shipping with orders over 50+ not to mention the most competitive prices you'll find anywhere on the web.  They love beating other prices.

you should dispute the charge on your credit card, and tell him if he wants his shit back to send you a shipping label.

i've bought items from them twice and had good luck both times.  i ordered skis and they ended up getting lost in the mail (no fault of getboards), but when 2 weeks had passed and i was without skis getboards overnighted me a pair.  eventually the lost pair arrived and i returned them.  they seemed very legit to me

i know i've trashed getboards.com before about all the orders of mine they have fucked me on they are in other threads but long story short getboards is horrible, they will take your money and not give you what you ordered, and that's real talk.

Ok here goes. as of today, just email me, Tony the owner, on any order you have a problem
with. If you email me direct, I wil help all customers and make it worth your while.
I need to explain something about orders at getboards.com this time of year. We take a lot of pre-orders early in the season, August/Sept for example- Claim Dvd, the producer puts a release date on it and then that never happens and they keep pushing the date further back. So the customer suffers. The customer does get the video before most others can get it if they preorder it.
As of today if a newschooler orders, I the owner will make sure you get the product as fast as possible
It is weird we dont get many emails from customers on our website asking where the package is?? So make sure you email me tonys@getboards.com or info@getboards.com at anytime.
Guys, I will even hook you up with a free video or dvd if you felt you have not had great customer service from us. just email me now and consider this thread done.
Have a great season - and hopefully we can turn this around for the people in this thread Ok

15% off next order- newschoolers only
