 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just posted this as a reply in Buy/Sell Forum, however thought people here may have some useful advice too?
Does anyone know of anywhere that offers free binding mount for just bindings purchased? (Preferably London/surrey area). I've just bought some new Punishers. There's lots of places that state free binding mounting for skis bought through them? I've come across a brand new set of Salomon STH 12's for £100 inc delivery, which seems good value....?
Any help much appreciated...?! (Or anyone with a nearly new lightweight (STH12/Griffon?) binding min 12 din binding for sale...?)

Prib Star, You may have to almost buy something else from a shop and then let slip the clincher... "I'll take it if you mount my bindings for me".

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

The going rate for a binding mount, assuming you've bought neither the skis nor the bindings from the store, is £25 - part of which is to cover the insurance liability.
Shopping around for the best deal on skis & bindings is one thing but then expecting a free mount from a store is taking the pi$$

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Prib Star, I have just had some bindings fitted at Snowfit in Norwich for £10 as I bought the bindings from them, otherwise £25 for the reasons spyderjon states or free if you buy both skis and bindings. £25 is quite reasonable for the work/risk involved.

Cheers everyone - to clarify i was not expecting a free mount for buying the bindings elsewhere, it was purely in terms of comparing the price of the sth12's - ie add on the standard £25 cost for mounting against maybe a shop price of £125 that included mounting or for a maybe a reduced price of a tenner as Richad E's suggestion...

Probably false economy to buy them for £100 plus del plus fitting...
S+R sell them for £125.00 and that will include fitting.

If any use to anyone, the friendly guy at Sandown sold be some Griffons for £120 mounted... They are doing the Jesters for £170 too.
£270 for a quality brand new set-up is great value in my eyes...pays to shop about!
Three weeks and counting...
