I won't ever buy anything from Metro Swim Shop and I really hope that no one has to go through what I went through. I ordered a swim parka on-line from them and they canceled my order for no apperant reason. After talking to rude customer service and having them told me that my order had been cancel, I ordered another one from swim200 shop. It was great. Three weeks later I got a parka from Metro Swim shop and also find out that they charge my credit card twice. Now I am stuck with two parkas and a bunch of extra charge on my credit card and clueless customer service people on the phone.
Did anyone here order from them before? Do you also know a good website to order swimming things??

Yes, as tempting as it is to order from your computer, a good local swim shop is vastly superior. I have had great luck with Kiefer and Kast-A-Way in the past, both top shelf operations.
Vastly superior? If you're buying a commodity item, like most swimming stuff, I see no reason to drive to a store, spend money on gas, and pay higher prices. Lane 4 in Austin is a nice place, well stocked, but they are more expensive in store than they are online. A 10 mile drive each way is $4 of gas.
