Just got our first order.
My wife ordered a Cressi-sub Mask, snorkel, and shorty wetsuit. We are new to diving and just wanted a bit of our own gear for class and for our referral dives in Mexico. The products we ordered were the exact same ones that she tried on and loved at our local dive shop. They even are all a matching orange color. Problem was that the mask+snorkel was $180 at the dive shop, and the shorty suit was $135. Oh, and she wanted a PADI log book, which was $33 but not in stock, the cheap-o custom log book was $35.
We're in Canada, so I was a little worried about ordering from US website with such super-cheap prices. The mask+snorkel was about $55 USD, and the suit was $69. Padi log book, $13. Shipping was an extra $40, which is a little steep, but still a savings of 45% in total.
Ordered on Tuesday over the phone, package arrived on Thursday afternoon. 48 HOURS! Wow. Superfast. No brokerage fees or other trans-border hassles.
I was a little worried before, but now I will not hesitate to deal with leisure pro again.
Only problem was my original web order had trouble going through due to Mastercard "secure code" issues. They e-mailed me about the problem, I called on the phone and issue was resolved in 2 mins.
Oh, and the shipping is a little bit expensive for the first item. However, adding stuff on doesn't add much, so if you can make a bigger order, or order with a couple of friends and split the shipping, it's a better deal.
For example, shipping of our order was $40, but adding another wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and book would have only added $10 to the shipping.
