Hey, I totally agree. I've always thought that they could do better on shipping transparency. It's not something tied to the sale or anything. It's just a friendly criticism. That's all. It's a difficult sales model, not having any stockists/resellers. My opinion is that a bit more transparency on shipping both before and after the sale of an item would go along way toward establishing their brand. I'm not bashing Saga and what they do. I'm just offering a thought. That's it. A blog post requiring five minutes of typing time would solve the short-term issue. But there are systemic challenges with their model that need to be addressed. Again, that's just my opinion. And it has always been my opinion.

the way saga handled shipping pisses me off. so it says priority when i order, but then they ship UPS and it was scheduled to arrive monday. ok, i guess that's alright, but no. now i look, it sat for 48 hours before shipping and now isn't scheduled to come til next thursday. gee, thanks saga!

I understand that Saga have hardly anyone running their shipping, but i just got an email from paypal refunding me 42 bucks...... Not too happy as that's all I got telling me something was out of stock and i ordered at 11.40 EST on Monday......

i'll rant all i want, when they tell me priority (meaning it would've already been here) but then i gotta wait a whole extra week? should i be happy with that? especially when it's around -14 to -19 this week with no jacket...

I agree he can rant since they charged 13 bucks for shipping that in reality should cost much less by the time they get it to.

This. How do you start a ski season without a jacket? I know that most park rats are borderline retarded, but come on, that's pushing it.

Just picked mine up from teh UPS center. Super nice quality, especially compared to the dc pants i was using. plus now even though they are 2 different years they match.


Saga threw in a shoelace belt, a windells sticker, and sticky patch.

I think that they probably have a quota that they can send via USPS at a certain cost. The overflow then likely goes out via UPS. And you guys are all really lucky. My stuff was sitting there just waiting to be brought to a UPS location from Tuesday night until Friday night.

chew on this, i ordered on monday, you ordered tuesday, you get your stuff before i get mine.

however i am sure once i get the jacket all of my hate will be settled, i just expected more from this company since i see you guys rave about it all the time. never really read a saga thread before.

Tell them about it, and then just sew it. Hopefully you'll get a coupon or summat, that rip isn't a big deal

yeah found it pretty quickly actually. the headphone port is just in the middle of the pocket.

also found that there are actual cinch elastics on the bottom like any regular jacket; wasn't expecting those. left bottom pocket (the zippered part) also has a pass leash.
