    Snowinn.com? legit?

    Hey everybody,

    I'm looking at some stuff on this website: http://www.snowinn.com/

    Has anybody ordered from these guys? I've talked to my bank today because of some strange billing behavior. Should I be worried? They've got some good prices and appear to be a rather large outfit, but the bank raised an eyebrow.

    the few threads i've read seem to indicate: caveat emptor.

    good prices, but alot of out of stocks (after you place your order).

    never had first hand experience with them myself.

    Oops, search function strikes again. Sure enough, results with these guys all over the map. Hard to decide.

    I found every thread except my own that asked the same question. I am not sure if anyone has ever completed a sale with them because they are always backordered. Personally, I feel lucky to have gotten my money refunded and my order cancelled.

    I ordered. I didn't get my shit.

    I asked for my money back, and it was returned promptly.

    I check back every now and then to see if the item is in stock and every week or so the "in stock date" gets pushed back another week.

    You decide whether that's legit.

    Can't you read. At least half the people on all the zillion threads about this have gotten some shady backorder story. I'd hardly call them legitimate.

    Listen dumbfuck. Shops that aren't legitimate don't refund your money. They may/may not have problems (I don't know, I discount the fucktards here) but if they've delivered goods, and refunded money if they didn't (or even with delays, then they are just bad), they are "legitimate". They may not be A1 customer service - but then you are getting a discount. Caveat emptor fuckwhit.

    Well I just ordered some boots, $250 less than I could find anywhere else for this model boot. They say 2 day DHL shipping but we'll see. Spain to AK in 2 days would be damn impressive.

    Listen fucktard. A shop that does not have the majority of the stock they put on their website is not legit. I order a set of bindings at one price. They came back later said the binders are backordered. Meanwhile the binders still show up on their website at a much higher price.(exact same binding) The motherfuckers graciously offered to sell me the more more expensive ones. Silly bate-n-switch Spaniards. My definition say NOT LEGITIMATE! You're right, I got my money back. Still not legit.

    Jed - lemme know if they come and live up to expectations. Thinking about boots as well, $300 cheaper than world cup/skiak. I think I can afford to pay for fitting/boot work at that price.

    Will do, $444 shipped is pretty damn good. Plus when I was at an unnamed local retailer the boot guy kept trying to put me in 29.5 wouldn't even shell fit. Pretty much refused to bring me a 28.5 to try on.

    DHL called a minute ago and said they'd be arriving tonight and that I could pick them up or they could deliver if I'd be home. I'm impressed, the boots were listed as in stock though so ymmv.

    ^^Impressive. So two day to Alaska for real?

    And you're right, boots I'm looking at are a couple hundo less than anywhere else. Aside from here, of course.

    Keep us posted if any of y'all order.

    Got my cochise 120, shipped the day after asking to change my order to the 120 from the pro lights since the 120s were in stock.

    Arrived to AK 3 days later, including the weekend. So I'm happy.

    Only warning is that the phone hours are wacked since they are on Yurp time with a siesta and everything built in. Calling from this many times zones away meant I had to call either before 9 am or after 1130pm. When I did call I was on hold forever.

    On the flip side, I gave up and tried email and that worked quickly.

    All in all, saved a couple hundred bucks so I'm fine with the phone thing.

    Thanks for the update, flyman. That's exactly what I was looking at from them. To be clear, this is the current Cochise 120 correct- with the updated liner?
