well I just ordered some ODI grips from blowsion. the packaging was good and my order was all there and in good shape.
only part I am not stoked about is the price of shipping. its very high compared to any where else i have ordered online. i would find the shipping price more tolerable if they added the price on the main page with the item (some thing like newegg.com)
I ordered on saturday they shipped it on monday and it got to me on friday. Service was nice and quick.
I give them 8-9 stars out of 10.:arms:
Thank you Blowsion!!

I got my helmet from them and I don't remember shipping being higher then usual. I did get the helmet sooner then they said it would be there. I would buy from them again.

Blowsion's shipping has been an issue before and I believe mudphish or John addressed it on pwctoday. I'll see if I can find it.

I just got some fresh prewraps and a shortened turn plate from them. Got here fast and shipping was $9.72. Seems a tad bit high but only by a dollar or 2....if that.
My Yamaha shortened plate appears to be a Kawi plate flipped over though. The Blowsion engraving is on the underside as opposed to all of there pics where it is on the top. No biggie at all though.
Also, if you order outerwears, you actually get Tau Cetti prewraps and they are the open top style. I was'nt sure if those would stay on my Proks because I have never used that type but they appear to grip nicely. Plus they show off my carbon Prok tops.
Got a B-pipe 2 years ago from them and it shipped pretty quickly also. They are probably sitting on about 200 of them:hail:
No complaints about Blowsion. All this schidt is to dang expensive anyway but at least they ship quick.

so how much was the shipping?

shipping was 10 bucks. the grips and packaging weighed maybe a pound. I dont mind places that make money on shipping. I just like to know what it is before I ever start the order. I knew it was high. I have checked before so no biggy. like I said if they want to charge higher than usual i would just prefer it to be right there with the item price on the main page.

Shipping is going to run minimum $8.00, so, for 9.72 or so, that not that much more..............

My wife ordered a GIRO helmet from them on December 2 and I still haven't seen it. :aargh4: Mudphish checked into it for me and there is a problem concerning Bell Helmets ability to purchase enough carbon fiber from what Blowsion was told. It still pisses me off, but IS NOT Blowsions' fault.
Every single other Blowsion transaction I have ever dealt with has gone flawlessly.
Blowsion Rocks. :headbang:

I'm 99% certain I need a large and that is what my wife ordered for me.

Is this the one you ordered? I will check the size of the helmet when I get home. It will not be used here for a couple of months so if it will help you out I would be willing to sell it to you and just order another one. It's the blue one.

Actually, I ordered the carbon-fiber model. I believe the one you have is fiberglass, but I may still be interested anyway. Thanks, dude! :headbang:

The great thing about Blowsion is they take personal pride in their name, so they go to great lengths to make sure you're happy and if there is a problem, CALL.

carbon fiber is in short is in short supply worldwide.
I know that.
and also, to clear the air, I meant "whatever" as in " I can wait"
Its ice cold here and I cant ride anyway. Sure id love to bring my ski home to work on it, and id like to have my dashes sooner, but I can wait. Things said online are hard to infer, especially if they can be inferred in more than one way.
so once again, I can wait, sooner is better, but nobody will die.

The price on shipping from the West coast is out of control.. My minimum charge from UPS to ship 1 pound to Blowsion (3 hour drive) is approx $9.00. UPS charges even more to deliver to a residential address, so remember to send it to work or a friend's Business address if possible..

UPS regular walk-in-customer rates have gone way up since they bought out mail-box-etc. For small items at least, stuff that used to go for $4.50 is now close to $10. They are making us all pay for that franchise service even if we go direct to the ups depot. I wondered if they did the same to business rates..

I second that! They have great Customer Service and back the products they sell. Example: I bought two sets of the Green Tau Ceti. Both pair started cracking in a short period of time. They graciously replaced them with new F/A. When the new set of Tau's Cracked they exchanged them again for New K&N. No questions ask they just took care of it. Blowsion you guys rock:cheer: :You_Rock_Emoticon:

Blowsion always comes through for me. Ordering is easy, guys are helpful, plenty of stock on hand. As far as shipping $$ goes...shipping is a profit center(or should be) in any business. I have no issue with that.
I gotta place another order right now, they just came out with 'Long John Silver' extended length bow eyes to use in the stern for those of us installing thick padding or kicktails under our turf.:bling:

Just got my order from blowsion. I'm plenty Happy. Small issue with brass fitting size but all my other stuff was great. About the shipping. You cant mail order one 20.00 small part and not get raped on shipping.Order a bunch at once and it will still be the same. I know thats not possible sometimes.
