I've bought Sale stuff from them and haven't had a problem. From talking to a sales rep, I got the impression that their website isn't constantly updated as to inventory levels. I bought a close-out board over the phone and the guy said that they only had one left. It got shipped and I got it no problem, but I noticed that it was still listed on their website a couple of days later. I used their live chat thing to ask about it and the rep checked and they didn't have any left.

I don't think they're trying to sucker anyone, I just think they sell a lot of product and their website isn't always accurate as to availability on certain items.

Their customer service was great BTW

i just ordered a new board and some other gear off of rememberdelaware.com and everything went great. i got my stuff i think 8 or 9 days later which isnt bad seeing how they mailed it from the west coast to the east coast. everything came in in good shape, except for the mittens that i ordered that where out of stock. i would definantly suggest buying from them and would definantley do it again.

For anyone in Canada I would greatly suggest Empire Skateboards/Snowboards: Empire Skateboards-Snowboards || Thinkempire.com - Boutique Empire Skate shop, Snowboard shop, skate shops, skate wheels, skate shoes

As soon as I needed help I went into a live chat with a guy who explained to me my options and which board he thought would best suit me. The prices were GREAT (shipping was only $10!) and in total my new Forum board cost me $288 Canadian. This is in Canada so you don't have to worry about duty fees, and I got my tracking number so I can see where my board is right now. It will be coming sometime next week but I had a great experience with these guys. I know it's really hard shipping stuff to Canada because of extra customs fees so this got rid of all that hassle.

Dogfunk.com: Snowboarding Clothing and Gear from Burton, Volcom, DC Shoe Co., RVCA, Nixon, Oakley, Vans, Reef, DAKINE, Forum, and Zoo York from Dogfunk.com is a great online snowboard apparel store plus if you buy an item over $50 you get free shipping
They also have a great online help chat system where you can talk to gear experts for help on equipment.

TruSnow.com .... just ordered snowboarding boots through them and they are true to their word, they got it shipped same day.
REI.com .... ordered my board through them on clearance. Price of shipping was kind of high, but it was still cheaper than anywhere else.
EvoGear.com .... their price matching policy is pretty killer because they'll beat any online price by 5%.

livelyjay,
Thinking about the REI deal; if you can ever find the same product at Tactics, call us up and we'll match the price and you'll get free shipping if the order is still over $79. We'll match any advertised price on the web.
Cheers,
Adam

Thanks for the note, I will keep that in mind. Unfortunately you don't have anything left in stock that I'd be interested in.


TruSnow is awesome. They just released a coupon for 15% off today. I bought my boots over the weekend. I asked them if they adjusted prices if you already purchased. I just got an email back and they adjusted my order and I'll be refunded the difference directly to my credit card. How awesome is that?

SnoCon.com and GogglesGiant.com are terrible online retailers to work with. I ordered a lens for my Smith Cascade Pro goggle from SnoCon. They took a week to ship it out and never notified me that it shipped. I had to contantly email them asking them for an update. I ordered another lens from GogglesGiant. They emailed me three days later saying they did not have the lens in stock and Smith no longer makes them. So I ordered another lens ... they emailed me three days later saying they did not have it in stock and were waiting for a shipment from Smith. Three weeks later they email me back saying they can't fulfill my order. Why the hell was the lens in the selection drop down if you didn't have it in stock!

Any ways, I contacted Smith and they said I can order lenses directly through them.
