Reviews: Mail Orders

Mail Orders (by Brandon Keiler):
note: my vocabulary is really small.
another note: don't hate me if I made fun of your trucks

Active Mail Order: Free Catalog or order online at www.activemailorder.com . This is just like CCS, except the prices are lower. If your a CCS kind of person you should order from here instead and save yourself a dollar, buy yourself some new pants at Good Will.

The Prime: This is my favorite mail order. They have the most Deca skateboards I've ever seen. Most mail orders have a couple decks or none. Well, I ordered my last deck from there, and I was emailing them cause I was stoked that they carried so many Deca's so this guy replies and says to mention him when I order and he said he would hook me up with a banner and some stickers with it. I get my new deck in lickety-splits and packed in the box with the board is a huge 4 foot by 4 foot Deca banner and some stickers. A week after that I get a personalized letter in the mail with even more stickers. He also hooked me up with some Prime posters.
I'm not saying that they will do this for everyone, and don't expect them to. I'm just saying how nice they are and how good the service is over there. The disadvantage of this mail order site is they don't have any free catalogs, at least not that I know of. www.theprime.com

Utility Board Supply: I hate Utility Board Supply. Here's my story... back in October 2000 I ordered the Powell Animal Chin video. A month goes by, and another, and then it's on back order for 2 more months. I called them up many times and they said that probably by the end of the week they would ship (they said this many times). Finally I call up and they ask me if I want to get a different video instead. So I decide to order a different one that was a little more than what I paid for on the first one. She won't let me get it because I didn't pay that much. Don't you think that after waiting 3 months it should be free? Well, I look for another video, I ask her if I can get the 411vm vol. 48 and she says that on backorder too and she said some other bull shit on how she'll get it and after 4 months I finally get the movie. 4 MONTHS!!!!!! AAAAHHH!!!! Ok. Another thing, since the 411 video I got was less than the first one I have a couple bucks of credit left on there for my next order. Note the words "next order". There isn't going to be a next order, dammit! They can keep my damn money those fuckin' bastards! And the last thing, when I finally got my order, in the box was just the movie. No catalog, no stickers, nothing. Mail orders usually throw in a stick or 2 or maybe a keychain. But there was nothing. If this doesn't discourage you from Utility Board Supply Mail Order, then you can go to www.ubsmailorder.com and wait for 4 months to get your shit.

CCS: I would have to say this is the most popular Mail Order. They have a lot of shit, a 800 number thing, free catalogs, a fast delivery thing. The bad is the prices. They are expensive. www.ccs.com
