Review for Snowinn.com

[mr walker]

Bottom line up front: I had no issues. It appears I may be the only one on the internet with such luck.

I searched and didn’t see anything too recent for snowinn.com without getting deep into any threads. I’m writing this because I ordered a thing from them that is VERY popular with the TGR crowd at an incredibly cheap price (I’m being cryptic so I don’t fuck up a phenomenal deal for the collective...I think I payed quite a bit less than MAP), and only looked at Snowinn’s reviews after I clicked purchase because, well, I’m an idiot.

Snowinn’s online reviews are so bad that I assumed I had just set $370 on fire. Didn’t even get mad, just came to terms with the fact the money is gone. They’re located in Europe so people have issues with customs, shipping, the language barrier, and they have virtually no customer support as per the feedback that’s out there. If something gets fucky, then that’s probably a wrap for your order and money. Seriously, read the reviews for yourself before ordering.

The tracking number I received didn’t do a great job of providing updates, but this isn’t uncommon with international orders. I, however, got my package in one piece. I ordered on Dec 8 and it arrived on Dec 26. Pretty good for international shipping during the holidays if you ask me. I was legitimately surprised the box showed up at all.

Hopefully this helps someone out there. Thought I’d leave this out of the feedback thread since it’s a company.

I bought some boots from then once and also had no issues.

I’ve ordered from them a couple times with good luck. Think of them like an outdoor Amazon where multiple retailers use a single retail portal. I think it depends on the actual retailer. Don’t be in a hurry and expect less than great customer support, but sometimes they’re hundreds cheaper than anywhere else. I’ve got some bindings in the mail right now so we’ll see how my most recent order goes.

I’ve had excellent results with 4-5 orders over the last few years.

Pretty sure I know which item you purchased. The manufacturer prohibits shipping of their product to the US from international sellers, so you are on your own if you need warranty service.

I've had great results with a few pairs of bindings from there over the last few years. Recently ordered the gf new boots and they're taking pretty long and the tracking sucks...we'll see if it's worth it when they arrive.

Bought Dynafit Vulcans from Snowinn a few years back and some Solly hiking boots from Trekkinn this past summer. Smokin' deal prices, reasonable shipping times, no dick around issues with either purchase. 10/10.

Also had 0 problems ordering multiple things from them over the years. Items arrived within a week for all of them pretty much

Nailed it, and that’s a risk I suppose I’m willing to take. Here’s hoping they don’t need a warranty claim...

Edit to add that item quickly moves here used (i.e., no warranty) for around $50 more than I paid shipped and new, so I feel a little better about my impulse purchase. I guess.

Cool. Thanks for the update. I took the same plunge, but ordered mine on the 12th, so by your math I should be seeing them shortly (which is good, because I purchased them for an upcoming trip). Planning to move mine after my trip so not concerned with warranty.

Same experience with purchase of a pair of Plum Guides last season.

A bit wanting on tracking updates, and as I recall, about 10-14 days for delivery to Colorado, but they arrived, and that's what counts.

Speed rads. 6-7 week shipping, in the summer. That was in 2016 and I'm still skiing on them.

[JoeyFish]

Ordered from em twice this season... Bindings took a couple weeks to arrive but no issues

[altacoup]

I’ve ordered from them a few times and always worked great.

Ordered some bindings back in November. When I ordered they said would be delivered December 11-14. Still waiting.

[mrkbrnblm]

I ordered two sets of the M-Werks Kingpins at ~50% off from them back at the end of November. They sent me an email saying they'd shipped about a week after I'd ordered them and to expect them sometime in the middle of December. Looking at the shipping info on the Post NL site, it was pretty obvious they took a lonnngggg time to ship the bindings after that initial shipping confirmation email. Eventually, they did ship, and I received them this week (probably 7 weeks after I ordered them and was told I'd have them in a little more than a week). I guess I'm happy they actually arrived, but I definitely wouldn't believe their shipping times.

I bought a pair of jesters from them a few years ago. Shipped from Spain and arrived in Idaho in 4 days. It was impressive to say the least.
