So i requested my new pipe cleaners to be center mounted by my local shop and I get them back and realize they are not even close to center mount... They are WAY too far set back, and it almost looks like they had no idea what they were doin with the skis.. I know its not a bad thing to have the pcs a little set back but this is just rediculous and they didnt listen to what i wanted... my question is what the hell am i supposed to do now... go back to them and request that they buy me a new pair of skis or what?!? thanks for any help

It's their error so I would say blame them for that and try to get them to buy you a new pair of skis. They can't really remount them without ruining the look of the ski. That sucks ballz man....

You can request that they remount the bindings and fill the old holes with plastic or wax or whatever it is they use.

ya.. i mean they could fill it but that would look like shit.. and these arent exactly a cheapo pair of skis we're talkin about... maybe a fill plus some cash might be okay but it would have to be enough to buy myself a new pair of rail skis... idk midwest sucks, thats what im blaming it on ha

i recently snapped a pair of skis and fucked the bindings in the process, so i just ordered a pair of skis+bindings online with a mount. I selected center mount, and in the extra comments box i specificly stated center mount. They show up today with a fucking powder mount. Now i get to drive 45 min to the nearest shop and pay like 70 bucks just so i can ski again. fucking awesome

I know how you feel man. i wanted my snow blades center mounted and they are set back a few inches. it sucks for the park but at least i can still shred the powder and the bumps

where'd you take them, Dick's? Any shop tech with half a brain should know what center-mount refers to. Thats a major buzzkill though man. Especially on a pair of PCs.

MARK A LINE ON YOUR SKIS

Saying center could mean core center, boot center, true center etc...if you don't want a shop to fuck up in the first place, then don't give them the opportunity to do so..mark a line that they can't miss.

ya i know what  you mean. i live in the midwest and the closest shop doesnt know shit. (but idk much either) i asked to get my skis center mounted and they are actually mounted a little bit forward. one of my friends is just a tad bit back from center and anothers is way back from center. they were all mounted at the same shop. mine are boot center but idk what my friends are. what is true center?

the more i think about it the more im pissed off, IF they dont buy me a new pair of skis then what am i gonna do?!? this could have just set me back like 300+ just because some lazy ass piece of shit acts like he knows what hes doin and doesnt come through.. if they dont give me a new pair of skis im gonna make sure to make people hear how shitty they are around town and hopefully drop their business a couple of notches....

Well lay it down to them..if the work card says centremount, and they clearly didn't then tell them that this has now affected the value of the ski and in the future the structural integrity if you choose to remount again and you should be reimbursed for it.

ya ive got the work card right here with "center mount" written at the top and bottom of it, and i made it perfectly clear to the people that i wanted it center mounted... im usually not an ass to local businesses and try to help em out but this just pushed me over the limit

Why did you not just do this when you picked the skis up?  I dont get it.  They are clearly not centermounted, you have the shop ticket in your possession, what happened?  You should have made your move at the time.

seriously what i would do is, remount them (have them do it for free) then get a $100 dollar store credit..or just have them get you new sticks

what theyre going to say is that they'll refund your money for the first mount and put them how you wanted them in the first place.  you really do have to specify true center with a line on the skis.  and one remount on your new skis isnt going to ruin them, the screw holes will probably be covered up by your binding and your boot when your riding them so nobody will see.  its the 3rd and 4th remount when a ski seriously starts to lose its structure and integrity

You're retarded, no shop is going to remount them and give you cash. It's going to play out two ways, 1. they remount them for free and you get some sort of free labor (tune, next mount, etc.) 2. They call Armada and order you a new pair (unlikely)
