I've heard lots of bad stuff. Some good stuff obviously but tons of bad stuff too. They have a really bad rating by the better business bureau too. I've never bought anything from them so this is just from other people. Be careful.

It is super legit, got 2 pairs of skis from getboards and came quickly and perfect! Just make sure to call them to see if they still have the product you want in stock because they dont always update the site (they back order).

unnecessary man

and i've heard mixed things. some say shipping takes forever, but that is probably because of the backorder issue addressed above.

If you are worried about the availability of a product or the status of an order, call, email or live help and one of us will help you. If none of those things work, message me, I work in Customer Service at getboards.com and we're working really hard to make our customers our number one priority. Our business practices have changed dramatically since just a year ago and we don't let orders slip through the cracks anymore. If you had a bad experience with us in the past, let me know, I'll see what I can do to help the situation. I have only been here for less than a year so I may not be personally familiar with some of the past problems but I am in the office monday through friday so the phones and emails are always answered and our warehouse is open monday through friday orders are always taken care of completely.

definately call them to order, they are legit, but they dont update there website, so call and order to make sure there in stock, its a local ski shop so their inventory fluctuates frequently

haha they said the same thing a few years ago, and even gave away gift bags to like 10 random kids on ns, but it never changed. i only ordered from getboards once and never will again, they "lost" my order that was supposed to come for christmas, i had to reorder it, then they sent me a sweatshirt that was full of holes, and had cuts from scissors or a knife. i sent it back, this is in march when i got my sweatshirt by the way, and was told they would send me a new one. never came, called and said they ran out of stock and would give me store credit.

dont order from there

I heard GB is under new management and they are planning on overhauling the site and doing some super cool stuff. Let's hope for it, only time will tell. What they really should be doing is changing the name and just starting all over, we will see though. If the BBB has them rated poorly, then I would consider staying away from them as of now.

They Just send me 15 DVD's. to Canada. It took some time for the package to be shipped, but once they got all vids together, the package arrived amazingly fast. They ran out of one movie, so the refunded me for that.

they seem professional to me. I would use them again.
