I have never had any problems buying off of backcountry.com or their family of sites (dogfunk.com, tramdock.com, backcountryoutlet.com etc, etc) They almost always ship the next day, and have allways shipped within two or three days. Their return policy is the best out there, you can return something for any reason whatsoever. I strongly suggest buying from them over some place like Sports Authority or other big chain sports store. Supporting Local shops is good though.

Backcountry is legit. Haven't had any dealings with them other than buying stuff(never returned), but the product arrived when they said, and I was happy. The gear head dudes also helped me out a bunch.

i've bought from them twice and have never had problems. like xavierd said, the shipping is great and i think i received my goods within 5 or so business days. orders over 50 bucks have frees shipping too so you wont have to worry about that if your buying skis. but  if you can get the skis you want at your shop for cheaper, you should probably do that

exactly what this guy said.  backcountry and evogear are to the most legit online dealers you can buy from and totally expect service from when you may need for warranty.  But if your dad is suggesting going to your local ski shop that is privatly run and NOT a Sports Authority or Dicks you should always do what your dad says.  support your local dealer and local economy!
