So, HOW TO BUY A BLACKRIVER FINGERSKATE ?

+

Step 1. You go on Blackriver-ramps website or Blackriver-ramps eshop.

It’s the cheapest place on Internet to buy your Blackriver-ramps products – because they manufacture it so you buy them directly on B2C – Business To Consumer.

+

Step 3. I validated my cart to see the shipping costs … because the shipping costs are calculated during your order process – when you select your country (Blackriver delivers in every country of the world). So you arrive on a page where you have 2 options :
