No catch. I bought my last rope from them. It arrived in three days. Better service than if I'd bought it in the US.

Just bought a gri-gri and a set of tri-cams from them for about 120 bucks including shipping. Arrived within a week. Very pleased
with them.

Jeez Jody, sounds like your going trad big time.
What are you doing with the gri-gri, self belay or (gasp) aid climbing?.
Glad my home country is providing some sort of service to the U.S. England has contributed some things of value to the free world, lets start with Monty Python, Pete, you agree?

Bought a set of Tri-cams from them, and had good service....the set arrived about 5 days after I purchased them, and the cost was very reasonable...
Best,

Hey now Beta,
Are you ridiculing me? The only time I ever used a gri-gri was briefly at a gym. It was such a good deal that I figured I'd buy it and you could teach me how to use it!
I did solo a sport route today but I ain't going to tell you what I used! Might open myself up to more ridicule!

I have bought quite a bit of gear from them and have had no trouble whatsoever. If you ask me, their shipping rates are better than a LOT of US companies. I highly recommend them.

This site is great. Retail ordered arrives in 3-5 days from Europe. I was amazed. Also, become a member at the site and the prices go from already cheap to even more ridiculously cheap. I cannot say enough about how awesome this site is for retail climbing gear. Great gear, great service, great prices. You can not ask for much else.

Do they offer shipping to Canada? Is it still worth it to buy from up here?
