Shipping policy of that shop are ridiculous they won't even ship within the EEA of which they are a member. Norwegians are becoming very inward looking, I think it is generational- the current one being oil-spoiled from birth, and starting to act like Swiss swells. I have had trouble with similar issues at OutNorth.com the Swedish, or should I say Greedish website.

Uhhhuh, those exact skis.
I'll just have to use it as an excuse to go to Norway. I finally gave up home when they were getting sold out.

I ordered skis from neptune, had them mount 3 pin bindings for me. A year later I replaced the initial 3 pin binding with the new xplore binding.
I found drill holes in skis from another binding.
They thought I'd never notice? I refuse to purchase skis from them again, untrustworthy shop. Do not recommend on my previous experiences.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, at the prices they charge, I would expect them to send New skis, or another pair if they botched the mounting.Skijoring Grace Gale wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2024 2:02 pmI ordered skis from neptune, had them mount 3 pin bindings for me.

When Gary Neptune was there it was a reputable shop and a social hub, screened films and such, many slide shows (these were things that were transparent and you viewed with a projector). Now it is what it is.Krummholz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2024 2:30 pmOuch!

Sorry I missed this post. I have performed this service for other illustrious members here. Feel free to message if you haven't got this sorted, if I can help I will (I'm currently out of Norway, although still in Scandinavia and won't be back until after New Year).Skijoring Grace Gale wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2024 4:35 pmAnyone in Oslo/Norway want to ship me some skis to Alaska?
