BoardSkiSkate.com legit? Backcountry.com has failed me.

Backcountry.com won't match BoardSkiSkate.com's price on the ski I want.  You guys think I should just suck it up and buy from BoardSkiSkate?  Anyone here buy from them before?

They accept paypal, which is good.   

But anyways, Backcountry told me that that price was too low for them to match, wtf.

I called the number they have and it was answered as " thank you for calling getboards.com and boardskiskate.com". I know getoboards has a bad rep on here but I would say if it's a division of getboards then you are set. They have always been more than legit to me.

Good observation guys +k, do you think I should buy them at BoardSkiSkate or evogear?  Is either one better at returns and such? 

I still wish Backcountry would just match the damn price though.

Evo just emailed me back to say that they will beat that price, which is excellent.  If I told Backcountry about this, do you think they would do a price match?  Maybe I could forward them the email or something?   idk just an idea.  Worth a shot?

Well I talked to Backcountry again just for the hell of it and mentioned that evogear would beat that price.  They still said no (Surprise!!!).  DAMN YOU BACKCOUNTY!!!

So I'm just gonna buy from evogear.  Thanks to all who helped, +k to you all.

The Evogear 5% price guarantee is awesome... and I (as well as tons of people here) have bought plenty of stuff from them to assure you that they are as legit as it gets.

Unfortunately, I do not think that Evogear, or any other online ski shop, has the killer warranty of Backcountry.com. As far as I know, you can snap a ski and send it back to Backcountry.com... no questions asked. Just like you can send back any product, at any time, no questions asked.

Oddly, I still have never bought hardware from Backcountry... always get it from Evogear...

That's why I really wanted to buy from them, but I'm not gonna pay $150 more for the same product, that's just stupid.

Sorta, the skis are about 30% more money on Backcountry.  I'm not made of money here lol.
