I'm having to upgrade my blades, and I was strongly considering Paramounts! The thing is, I don't live anywhere near a retailer that sells them, so I'm having to order them. I'm getting the 420ss advanced Freestyle blade, Pattern 99 pofile. Does anyone know of any reputable websites to order them from, with a good return policy? I really want to make sure I can trust the website I get them from, as I raised the money to buy them myself.   :D Thank you!

I don't know of any sites that would let you return or exchange blades after they've been mounted or sharpened.

Yes, that's what I'm finding out too....so I guess, as long as they are a reputable, trustworthy website, that's the best I can hope for.  :)

Check and make sure your sharpener has the jig to sharpen Paramounts before you buy them.  Otherwise, you'll have to find a different sharpener.

Yes, my sharpener does have the correct equipment to sharpen them.  ;)

I've bought two pairs of paramounts through Kinzie's Closet (and my last pair of boots) and would definitely order from them again :)

Great, do you know how fast they ship?

Both pairs I've ordered shipped directly from Paramount.. mine were custom colored so that took a little longer.

You can always email them to find out how long it will take to get them.. if you are ordering a "stock" color they might have them ready to ship already, I don't know.

I have also ordered Paramount blades through Kinzie's Closet and would not hesitate to order again through them. They have good prices and are very responsive to e-mails in my experience.

+3 for Kinzies Closet. That's where I got my new boots and blades. I will always think of Kinzies first for skates.
