How about one of our own advertisers? Gear express has killer deals! Just got a set of cams from them and the service was great! They are just as cheap as sportextreme on a lot of stuff and shipping is only 4.95 per order. I think we should send as much business to our advertisers as we can. Keep this site free for the users. While I'm at it, Sickle has GREAT stuff too! Check them out.

I agree www.gearexpress.com kicks ass. I just bought some cams and other gear from them and they were having a special where you buy 3 cams you get 10% off and free shipping. The price of the cams was already the lowest I had seen and they knocked another 10% off and eventhough I didn't pay for shipping they sent it priority mail and I had it teh stuff in three days even though I told them that they could send it to me by a cheaper method if they wanted. I have ordered a bunch of stuff from them and they have always got my order right and have everything in stock. Hard to say about other online retailers.

Try Bittersweetgear.com. They have really awsome prices and are super helpful. I've bought a crashpad and some other things from them and I was most satisfied.www.bittersweetgear.com

As jmlangford said, if possible buy from the site sponsors. If unable, besides sportextreme and bittersweetgear (which at one time had free shipping on over $100, don't know about now) another is barrabes.com

I pretty sure barrabes is in Spain, although I've never physically been to the store. I've only made orders from online.

I've ordered gear from Misty Mountain. Shipment arrived very quickly with exactly what I ordered. No extra charge to ship into Canada and they put a fake invoice on the box so that customs didn't charge me anything.

Gearexpress rocks, Rei Outlet has some pretty good deals on Blems, and if your looking for clothes Jagged-edge.com is the next North Face. Type Alpine in the special key code to recieve 40% of price.

I live in CA and have had excellent service from shoreline mtn. www.shorelinemtn.com
They are about average as far as price goes. They do have free shipping for CA on sales over $50.

Hey check out www.sportextreme.com . They have some good deals. And if you are a member they have even better deals. Membership is free. I just picked up a pair of boreal zens for $65. Cant beat that. Gear express is really good the guys there are really cool. I also suggest mountaingear and killerdeals. Shop around and you will find what you need eventually.
Later.

Not to beat a dead horse, but gear express is great...I just ordered a hangboard to whip my newbie paws into shape and they shipped it really quickly and without any inflated handling prices.

Just today I recieved my shipment (tracked nicely via ups) from www.acmeclimbing.com I talked with Sean that works there. He was more than helpful, probably the best customer service I've had in an Internet transaction. I would recommend them very highly. Hope that helps.
