Frequently Asked Questions

Purchases / Transactions

Do you ship internationally, how much does it cost?
Yes. We ship the DVD package world-wide. Shipping for the 5 DVD program is US $11.50 for Canada, US $16.50 – USA and US $21.50 for all other international destinations. We have shipped to over 30 different countries and have not yet encountered any shipping problems. You may be required to pay tax/duty to customs for importing products to your home country however only 1 of our customers has ever reported any tax/duty added so this is unlikely.
How long does shipping take?
All our packages are sent with Canada Post using their standard air mail delivery service. The packages normally take between 6 – 10 business days to arrive. It may take longer if you live in a far away country or the mail service in your country is slow. We ship our packages at 9am on Mondays and Noon on Thursdays. The packages are guaranteed to make it to you (provided you gave us your correct address) and we’ve never had a package get lost in the mail. If you’ve made an order and it has not yet been delivered, then please sit tight, it’s on it’s way. Please do not email us 7 days after you’re purchase asking where it is. We get a lot of email and have trouble replying to even the important questions.
Can I purchase without a credit card?
Yes. We accept any kind of payment. Cash, check, money order, carrier pigeons, all major credit cards & Paypal. If you don’t have a credit card, it’s easy to link almost any bank account with a Paypal account. If you need to arrange an alternate method, then contacts us at: info@SnowboardAddiction.com
I’m already a customer, how do I get the latest material?
If you’re a previous Snowboard Addiction customer, then it’s only fair that you get all the new material at a heavily discounted price. Previous customers are eligible to subscribe to our Snowboard Addiction updates program and get all the brand new material as it’s released. Click here for details.
Why don’t you sell the program cheaper?
Our product is the worlds best snowboard instructional program, and to keep it that way we have a lot of expenses. Filmer’s, producers, editors, employees and DVD production costs for example. We do understand it’s expensive but promise to make it a worth while purchase for you. The price of our program is much cheaper than most freestyle lessons and it lasts forever.
How to I get a discount code or coupon number?
We sometimes have sales and promotions. Sign up to our newsletter from the homepage to hear about our discount and promotions: Snowboard Addiction Newsletter
Where do I enter my discount code?
At the confirmation stage of the checkout process. It’s a green box below the sub totals and after you enter it you have to press update for the discount to be applied.
Can I purchase the different sections separately?
You most certainly can. Get them Here.
What is a 120% Money Back Guarantee?

Program Content

Does the download version contain the same material as the DVD package?
Yes. The download version has exactly the same material as the DVD package although it is download quality not DVD quality (good enough to watch full screen on a computer, probably wouldn’t look great on a huge TV).
Does the downloaded program come as files that I can copy to DVD?
No, the downloadable program is not designed to be burnt onto DVD, it is optimized for viewing on your computer or MP3 player and works automatically with Itunes.
What format do your products come in?
The download programs come in the file formats *.M4V (for video) and *.M4A (for audio). These formats are Quicktime and iTunes compatible. The video resolutions on the download programs are 640 x 360 (ratio 16:9).

We do not offer our products in other formats, but we do allow you to convert them as you please.

The DVD’s come simply as ‘DVD Quality’.

Are the downloadable videos low quality like on youtube?
No, they are far higher quality than youtube and can easily be watched on a full sized computer screen.
What is the main difference between the Freestyle and Learn to Ride programs?
The Freestyle program is our bread and butter. It is all about hitting the park, pulling big tricks on big features and getting super comfortable with your riding that any trick you want to learn is within your grasp. The Learn to Ride program on the other hand is for beginners who are just getting onto the hill for the first time. Equipment setup, learning turns and getting on and off the chairlift are all things included in this program.
Is there an intermediate rider program available?
No. At the moment we do not have an instructional program with material for riders who have been on the hill plenty of times but are looking to get to the next level of riding but not quite ready for the park. However we do offer personal coaching lessons available either with a private camp session or personal phone/webcam session. For more info check out the products page here Snowboard Addiction Products.
Is there any sections on buttering and flatland tricks?
No, currently there is no section for flatland. However we are working to try and include some in next years release so stay tuned with the Snowboard Addiction Newsletter.
Can I get free updates with the latest material?
No. We used to offer free updates as we built the original material however we have now released a subscription program for you to get the latest updates as they become available. Sign up here.
Can I get these programs in other languages?
Soon. We are planning to have our whole program translated into Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, German Spanish and French. Sign up to our newsletter to know when they are released.

Troubleshooting

I just made a purchase but nothing has happened what do I do now?
When you make a purchase you should be re-directed back to a unique download page that lasts for 48 hours. You are also emailed with this link so make sure you’ve added info@SnowboardAddiction.com to your safe email list. If you can’t find it check the junk/spam folder. If you purchased through Paypal, then after purchase you must click the obvious link, which says: “Return To Snowboard Addiction” as this triggers the download links. If you didn’t click this link then just flick us a quick email and we’ll respond ASAP with a fresh download link: info@SnowboardAddiction.com.
The program didn’t download properly, what can I do?
If the program didn’t download properly then your internet connection may have been interrupted during the download or it may be a problem with your computer. The best solution here is to delete the file which isn’t working and download it again. Check out the troubleshooting section on our website community/forum section Snowboard Addiction Forum.
The videos aren’t working for me.
The videos and audios are optimized for itunes/ipods. Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes. Download iTunes. They will also open with Quicktime and VLC. Download VLC.
What if I don’t have an iPod but I do have a different mp3 player?
The programs are in a common format they work for all ipods and many other MP3 players but may not work with every type. Follow the latest about other formats our material is available in our Snowboard Addiction Forum.

Stupid Questions

(Yes, we’ve actually been asked these)

What is the deal with your refund policy? I haven’t purchased the program yet but I’m thinking I might but I might want to get a refund?
Our refund policy is designed to be able to compensate our customers who did not learn anything from our product. Our refunds are very easy to obtain (just email us) although we vary rarely have to give a refund because our program is pretty dam good! If you’re really interested in our refund policy it can be found with our legal material: http://www.snowboardaddiction.com/tc/ If you are already thinking about a refund before you’ve even purchased then perhaps our product is not right for you. Although in saying that, I do not know a snowboarder in the world who would not benefit from all the material that we have created.
Do you accept payment through pokerstars or full tilt poker?
Unfortunately we are unable to accept payment through pokerstars or fulltilt as we do not gamble with our business income. We do however accept most major credit cards and you can link almost any bank account in the world to a paypal account.
How do I unsubscribe to your newsletter? I can’t figure out how!!
Simply click the OBVIOUS unsubscribe button which is at the bottom of every newsletter we send you. We will not keep you on our mailing list if you don’t want to be there. Guaranteed.
