    I found carving of softboots really difficult, but really easy and comfortable on hardboots. I doubt I could now carve in softboots even.

    I say start straight in hardboots. Why not? They're more natural, more comfortable, easier to carve.

    Holy crap, that's awesome.  I just checked what it'd cost to ship a 185 from Utah to Vermont.  UPS wants $84.16.  TNT will do it for $32.37.   :eek:

    They're Tha Shiznit. They're currently holding onto a pair of arcteryx pants I've got and I'm going to send a used Apex plate there soon and ship it over to me. BOOM

    That's actually pretty silly cheap, considering it'd be about that or more to ship one within the lower 48, depending on origin and destination.

    Yes. But this company has such a large shipping volume that they can do it at that price. I got mine sent by TNT Express, 3 days door to door. You can use this company to ship within USA as well, that may not help you unless you can drop it off at one their warehouses in person or cheaply though.

    With all the export restrictions these days on certain brands, this service is necessary if you want decent gear and don't want to pay through your nose for it. Campsaver and backcountry often have sales, which even when considering the exchange rate and shipping cost, puts items at 30% of what I would pay here.

    Well it cost me less to get my new Coiler 178 Nirvana VCam sent from Canada to USA then to Australia, than it would have directly from Canada. And, the USA to Australia leg was cheaper than the Canada to USA leg.

    50bucks, insured from USA to my door. Plus I can declare it at less than AUD1000, so I don't have to pay 15.5% duty + GST.

    Shipito.com check it out. It's legit. Used it probably 10 times. They consolidate all your stuff and store it for as long as you want. They remove packaging, receipts and you do your own customs decs.
