 Poster: A snowHead
|
I want to buy a pair of skis from Sport Conrad which I believe are based in Germany, the only problem is that i'm going skiing on the 22nd December and i'm concerned they might not get here in time. Has anyone bought skis from these chaps before and how long did they take to get to the UK and did they get held up in customs at all.
Any answers would help, I want to get from these guys as they're about £100 cheaper than Snow & Rock.

Johnnyseven, Welcome to snowheads.
Shipping from Sport Conrad is usually just a few days & there's no custom within Europe. If the skis come with bindings fitted you'll need to get the DIN settings & the forward pressure adjustment correctly set before you use them.

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

Thanks for that. Being new to having my own skis, i've always hired before, can you explain DIN settings & forward pressure adjustment for me.

Johnnyseven, do a search, there's plenty of stuff posted.
Basically if you don't know about these adjustments take your new skis & a boot to your local shop & ask them to set them for you. Most will do it for free. If you're local to Nottingham I'll do it for you.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Johnnyseven, had 3 pairs of skis from them. Very good service. Usually 2-3 days and you can track online.

Johnnyseven, I've bought two pairs of skis from them and like stoatsbrother, had great service and found despatch & delivery very quick. They also have helpful English speaking staff who will talk you through binding mounting before they drill the skis.

Ordered my skis Sunday evening and they arrived today on the Thursday! - 1 week before Xmas. Cannot fault them, great service. I will definitely use them again. They carry a lot of stock and slightly cheaper than UK shops. I was forced to use them due to no K2 169 Kung Fujas in UK, but good thing I did.
