Good online Snowboarding equipment website?

[huck]

Anyone know of any good online snowboarding equipment websites? Looking to buy some bindings, went to a couple stores around calgary looking for some with a couple friends but we couldn't find anything, or maybe we are going to the wrong stores. Any suggestions on reliable online snowboarding websites?

Thanks in advance.

I actually bought a bunch of my items on ebay back in the day, was much cheaper then most stores!

For anyone that has ordered from Dogfunk, were you charged customs or duty on your order above the original shipping charges? It appears they use UPS which has me worried about additional charges.

If it's coming UPS, don't buy it.

Dogfunk used to take care of all the tariffs and duties through UPS, but have since changed their style. If you order using the USPS international option - would this still carry duties? or just get tossed off to Canada Post for delivery?

Almost all things are subject to tax and duty. It's the brokerage and bond fees that UPS can establish on their own. Definitely USPS if you're able to, you might not even get any fees but if you do, it'll be very low in comparison to UPS.

Aside, is there a brand of goggles that is typically better suited for people with smaller faces?

Try the Smith I/OS

Oakley makes an Asian fit for smaller faces in most styles of their goggles.

Try Alternative 113 (http://www.alternative113.com/). They ship out of Quebec and its free shipping right now (on non discounted goods). Got myself a a tuning kit for my board and a water bladder couple days ago

Edit: Just checked it again. Free shipping on orders over $75 and cannot be discounted more than 40%. Shipping is through Canada Post Ground (7-8 business days) or add $~50 if you're in a hurry and want it express.
