Sorry to add some hate to the ski industry but its now jan 28, and I still have not gotten a tracking number for my saga gear, I ordered it in mid november. I got the first email update saying that it was going to be shipped soon, but have gotten nothing since. I have emailed them several times, and called them. Yet I have still not gotten a response. It even got to the point that i emailed them saying I wanted a refund, but they did not reply to my email. I have always had great customer service in the ski industry and am very disappointed to see business being run this way. What am I supposed to do, my old pair of pants have a few big tears in them, and I need new pants? C'mon saga I don't want to go buy new pants while waiting for yours to arrive. Can we seriously get our act together. Sorry to rant I am just very frustrated by this. Is this happening to anyone else. Oh an I live in California, so it's no like they have to ship overseas or anything.

Cliffnotes: I am being screwed by saga.

oh and please just don't say that it'll be worth it when it comes, because I am tired of waiting for it, and I paid for it with the understanding that it would be shipped December 15th, and not have it almost be February with no tracking number.

I'm on his side on this... it is defiantly bad business practice to promise a date and misinform, mislead, and not ship until almost a month later.  that is plain ridiculous.  most peoples ski season doesnt last for more than 4 or 5 months anyways and to not ship your product until a month after you planned, pretty much sucks...  There is so much competition starting up right now with smaller ski companies and outerwear and such that you cant make mistakes like this and expect to survive.  IDK just my thoughts on it

why didn't saga have everything ready so they could ship their stuff before the ski season? i would be pissed too, I'm in CT and i only have 2 more months of the ski season left. hopefully Saga will learn from this and get their stuff sorted out for next season.

Why should he chill out. He ordered a product from what he thought was a legitimate company but they have made no attempt to demonstrate that they care about customers service and are just demonstrating they do not know how to run a good business. Gigantic messups like this should not be overlooked just because they have dope product.

If you want results start dropping words like Better Business Bureau (atleast in Canada). Also always ask for a manager if they ever do pick up the phone.

Finally get to Vegas fast and give them a piece of your mind.

i have doubts that they'll get their act together for next year because if some of you dont remember this exact same thing happened last year...exact same bullshit.

I just had a thought:

So imagine this, Brand new company named SAGA places an order with a outerwear manufacturer for a small (relative to everyone else) order of jackets and pants. Being that they are new and they have small orders they are denied credit or get very low credit from the suppliers. So, SAGA gets people to pre-order and buy their stuff early in the season and once they collect their money they put in a order with their supplier to start making this years outerwear in the middle of the season. Hence no one gets their stuff till the end of the season. Chronic cash shortages?

Just a random thought i just had. Purely speculative. What you guys think, feasible?

That is when they go out of business. Like a business should if they cannot create or distribute their products in a timley manner. I know Saga is dope, but business is business and you cannot try limp along forever with broken promises. I almost feel bad for Saga, the company I work for makes our own products and we would be out of business if we were two months late on delivery to people who paid their hard earned money, but its' business.

I just had a thought:

SAGA failed.

 they should have preordered their stuff way in advance if they would have trouble.  you cant take peoples money, promise them products and then fail to deliver until long after you promised.   no good

The damage done because of these delays is probably irreversible when it comes to orders for next season.

i can honestly say that saga has lost my business until i hear that they have fixed all of this. i was planning on buying a ton of saga stuff, but i dont make enough money to buy there stuff and not have it come. I think saga makes THE sickest outerwear, but i can't afford to count on a company that does business like this. Again, saga has lost my endorsement and potential cash until they get their act together
