No offence greenleader, but there is atleast one shop which would have to rate on the 'worst' list. (Its not yours by the way
!) I know of serveral people who have had very poor experiences there. I wont name names.

I guess that it also depends on where you live. I live in Brissy so I wouldnt shop in Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast unless I was there alot.

So getting back to di's post, I guess there could be a best and worst list but like greenleader says there are all reliant on the customer so you 'should' get great service at all shops. There may just be differences in product range from shop to shop.

Hobie, I think it's possible that someone else has had good experiences with the store you had bad experiences with, and vice-versa.

I'm a bit of a sl*t and give them all a go
Sunshine coast BNE Gold coast Syd and Newcastle wherever I can get the best price/advice (I always order/deal over the phone)
And have found them all to be excellent. But loyalty to one shop doesn't neccesarily mean the best price which for me is the bottom line.

I have to purchase all my gear from down south and have used both of the shops in Coloundra and have recieve good advice and helpfull and reliable sevice as I have to buy sight unseen,These guys have promptly sent me gear and been honest in my dealings with them.I have also brought gear from Melborne on ebay and have been ripped off because of their deceptive advertising. eg recieving a 2004 sail instead of the 2005 model,mono instead of the advertised xply.I will continue to deal with the Coloundra guys who I can trust.

Like NBR, my main concern is reliable service. I buy all my stuff through one shop. I pay more for some items and less for others, so that all works out pretty square. Because I can't see the stuff, I have to believe what the shops tell me. Because of this, I find it important to have a good relationship with the guys in the shop. The shop owners appreciate this too and look after us up here. The few guys I sail with co-ordinate our buyng to save on freight. Before I settled on one shop I received good service from all the others. One just tried harder to make long distance buying easier.

Hello Di,

I don't live in Qld but live in Adelaide Sth Aust. I purchased a board from Surf Fx on this site and was very happy with the service i received. The board landed in perfect condition and was a good price. Thanks to Ian and Michael for a great service. By the way the f2 sx s are an awesome board!!!

Cheers,

Carl Macdonald

yep Surf Fx has the gear and has been supporting the sport for years through comps and stuff. Always has good advice and the staff are keen to help out. (Meagan is a babe too!)
