My buddy is lining up a sick deal on getboards.com, and we're just trying to work out if its legit. cant afford to throw $500 down the drain. if anyone has had good or bad experiences with getboards.com let me know.
thanks a lot.
peace.

I have ordered a whole bunch from them starting the first year they carried Siver Cartel up until last year. I have never had a problem.

I have heard of people who have, you may get some responses here.

i ordered a lot of stuff from them. they are good with prices, but i had a few problems with them. i sent back goggles the one time and they lost them for like 4 months, but they did give me an up grade. and then i got skis and bindings from them and they got shiped to the wrong house, but that was acutally FedEx's fault. but over all they are good, and when they mess up they do make up for it

ive heard nothing but bad things from them. But "tony" said he will personally take care of newschoolers orders, his username is posted 2 posts above mine. So consult tony first i guess and get him to guarantee your order or something

The advanced searchbar isn't hard to use

I do a search, open tabs with all the links i think might be appropriate, check the threads to see if they are helpful, post the links to the helpful threads.

In this case, the list was from another thread I posted in on the exact same topic, so I knew it was there.

ok, sorry for cluttering the place up with yet another getboards thread, yawn, but i have never seen anyone bitching about them. i'm just naturally paranoid. i didnt use the searchbar cos i was in a hurry. sorry if ive offended/wasted many peoples time. but keep the responses coming. people who have dealt with them for skis are the people i wanna hear frmo.

silence, why what you have done is useful, i have to say, people only make threads to bitch, never to congratulate. so its not surprising that the majority of threads slate getboards. i want to hear from everyone who has dealt with them.

thanks

jack

There have definitely been threads on the alternative view saying that getboards is legit! And in many of the threads I posted, members came in and reported good experiences. SO it's not one sided, but as far as good/bad experiences go, the bad seem to outweigh the good..

I guess it's also important to note that many of the threads I posted are over a year old, so the company may have picked up their game.

It would be good for a getboards rep or the owner to get on NS and set the story straight.

yes

very legit

I have ordered from them 3 or 4 times. Never so much as a package going out a day late. Always on time.

I would definitely order from them again. The only thing is- sometimes you can find stuff for less elsewhere. I was going to buy last years troublemakers from them for like $300 but i found them from aspen east for $275. So- if they're giving you a good price definitely order from them.

Like I said before, Im the owner of getboards. if you have ever had a problem just email me
direct at tonys@getboards.com. I will make it up to you. Many of these threads that are negative are
from competion. we dont hear direct from screwed customers? WHY??? Not a phone message not an email???? so why would the post above me say order from twintip nation?? do they work there???
Basically if we ship 600 packages a day thats 219,000 packages a year and 20 people on newschoolers had a delay in their order, thats dang good. but like I said 20 people is too many. if you have had a problem
email me at tonys@getboards.com and I will make it right
thank you.
and please no more employees from competitors bad mouthing getboards. we dont do it to you. RESPECT

thanks a lot man, this puts our collective minds at rest. it turns out he is just gonna get boots, cos he cant afford to get the whole lot, thanks anyway though

turns out that even tho a million threads have been made like this, this one wasnt that pointless after all. the owner has got to speak his mind. so mad props to me! WOOHOO!

shipping can get slow. but other than that, its legit.

and the shipping thing is like 1/500 odds that you get the shitty shipment
