    I remember a friend of mine ordered a pair of cult 3s from bladinaction and it took about a month to get to nyc. I remember ordering from skatestop amongst other older shops and totally rushing home from school to open up a package from a shop. It's true skating used to be so fun, I guess it's just being busy that fucks it. [/u]

    hahahah sorry but i quit there a long time ago. and they did fuck up mad orders but got even more orders right. like put it this way they didnt care of they fucked up 2-5 orders a day caus ethey got 45-60 orders right a day. they made mad fuckin dough . everyone and there mom got shit from them. its sad how they owned the market back then. and im very sorry for any and all orders i fucked up , and the funny thing is i think i was the one that took the order for them red 5050 frames ,and remember thing about red 5050's back in the day . this was like 99-01

    bladingaction had a cool tihng going with custom skates but it would be so hard to keep shit inventoried (i'm assuming) and it probally didn't help that a bunch of burners were running shit

    my first order was from team paradise - they fucked up and never refunded my moms money
    then a few from rollerwarehouse - no problems
    2 times from amall - no problems
    8934758348537 times from erolling - no problems and shit is at my door by like 2 the next day if i order by 2 the previous day

    I remember when Salomon came to a place called Shady Skates that used to be open around here. I missed it though and that was when i worshipped Aaron Feinberg. I also missed when Razors came while doing a tour. I was there when Deshi came though and that was pretty damn fun watching Iain Mcleod and Louie Zamora skate.

    Sk8house used to send me some insane coupons back in the day. I think the biggest I got was a 40% off any order over $100 or some shit. I got a $300 setup for under $200 with free shipping. I fucking loved that shit.
