it is in Germany prices look good - anyone had good/bad experience? Any dodgy tax added on when importing to the uk?
Thanks,

Yes I have - very, very good. Have bought a few things over the years from them, and always been delighted. That rare thing - dirt cheap and top notch gear.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Use them often. Excellent service. Indeed, about to do another order this week, so I have more ski kit for winter  edit: and to see how their service is since they moved to a bigger shop/warehouse.
Think they might be doing their free shipping offer on skis/boards to the whole of Europe again.
No tax or duty to pay on import to UK, since it's EU and you'll have paid the German 19% VAT.

Used them a few times, have found them very good.
Not imported anything to UK but have had no problems with delivery to Germany or importing to Swiss.

I've bought skis from them a couple of times. There are no hidden charges, the stuff is shipped with tracking information and has always been delivered on time. I would have no hesitation about buying from them again.

roscoeh, I bought some skis from them at the beginning of the year with zero hassle. I even entered into email conversation with them in German (of which I know about 5 words) as I was trying to arrange delivery before a Birthday. Very helpful and efficient, price was good too. I am enjoying flicking through the catalogue they sent a few weeks back

Always used to buy the kids skis from them, no issues and often got unexpected pleasant surprises when delivered (Free bags, poles, upgraded bindings etc)

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yup! Free for now (I deleted the mail which had the current free shipping offer, so not sure when it finishes).
| Quote: |
Delivery Costs:
Free shipping of ski, ski packages (alpine & cross-country) and snowboards! This offer is valid for orders from all EU-countries. |
Otherwise, it's €15 shipping, or €20 for bulky stuff like skis/boards.
Actually, maybe the free shipping is only for skis etc? And €15 for other stuff? Only one way to find out...

roscoeh,
No dodgy additional taxes. Think i paid Euro 20 for the postage -not bad at all!
Very quick delivery to the UK.
Lowest price i could find by quite a stretch. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
I've also had good dealings with UK's Edge and Wax - fast delivery etc but why the price difference. Simply i think, it's just economy of scale that gives them the advantage.
Also, some companies think, err, Snow and Rock asks £xxx for these, so that's my price too less 1 or 2%. Not a way to be terribly successful.

You know it makes sense.

Has anybody used Sport Conrad?
Has anybody used the Search Function?

Yep, great service. And their catalogue is fantastic. Like being a kid just before Xmas flicking through the Argos catalogue!

update - cost me nothing for delivery, and they just sent another email saying free shipping for skis/boards etc. to anywhere in EU.
Last season they did that offer for a week, and extended the offer weekly for about 2 months!
Oh and the time from placing order to my next door neighbour signing for the delivery was under 36 hours.
