Get-bit outdoors has similar prices to mudhole, carries alps products and has better shipping prices, however they are also slow getting stuff out the door. Otherwise I just drive an hour to shop when I have time on a Saturday.

To me it is not a legal issue, its customer support and satisfaction. One time oopsie and they should cover it as opposed to pocketing my parents money. I would likely have been quite a bit happier if they offered 50 cents on the dollar for the one they did nothing on. Oh well, fool me once.....


thanks for the scoop on other sources.

mudhole will charge you $9.45 to ship you a $13.99 (1) tip top in 3-6 business days.

Priority mail is $6.95 box envelope is like $3. scummy thieves... is what they are

I think it was closer to $18 for an order that weighed less than the box is was shipped in on top of everything else. Took two weeks to get delivered. Given that, shipping should have been free. Done with them.
