Revision Messed Up

So, back in September I was looking around for a new pair of skis for this season. After hours of searching, someone recommended revision skis. They look sick so I got them for a sick deal during the pre-sale. There was only one slight issue, the skis ship date was "mid November" although that was kinda annoying I knew I wouldn't be skiing at all between now and that time. Fast foward almost 3 months and I still havent heard from them, so I sent them an email regarding the shipping. They said that they would contact me in the next week for an Update. They sent another email a few days later saying they ran into some issues during production. "Due to some quality inconsistencies, we made the decision to rebuild a good portion of our skis". At that time I was like "ok, well I would rather wait 2-3 more weeks for solid skis then get low-quality skis now". They also said they would send another email in about a week for a new ETA. I got the email this morning and they said the new shipping date would be THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY. Thats almost have way into the ski season. I'm disappointed because the skis looked so fun but theres no way im waiting that long.


But thats not all, they also gave me (and all other customers) a $100 coupon to there website. Sure I appreciate them going out of there way to do that because they definitely feel bad abut this whole situation, but $100 is not gonna keep me waiting around for another month and a half. So, what do you guys think. Are any of you guys in the same Boat as Me?
Could this issue possibly be the end of revision?

I'm dumb and bought mine with my debit card so no refund for me, still waiting on them

They do actually answer the phone number on their privacy policy page, but the two times I called they just took down my order number and contact info because the shipping guy "wasn't in at the time"

snowfinderGuys I got it.

Just need a few investors from NS and we can start up a ski company called Division skis. With a cool D logo and a cool tag line like Slay the D.

Make the skis at some shitty China factory that makes Defiance or Teton Skis.

Slap a great warranty on them because fuck it why not they cost like 20 buck to make.

Sign up some up and comer riders and say hey look we are on NS too super core just like you! Give them some skis for the big cost of a Jackson in turn for some media to edit up.

Sell skis cheap during the off season while over saturating all social media with the footy for the boys. Then up the price right before winter to catch those all hyped on the skis.

?????

Profit.


Fuck, im in

Emailed them at least 5 times about getting my warranty skis in November, still nothing. Any ideas on legal actions I can take? Fair Credit Billing Act perhaps? idk. I already bought new liberty skis this year and broke them, along with completely totaling my old revisions some more. They kinda skrewed me.. this is a breach of contract, just want something to ski on this tear.

Actually what can I do, they wont respond to email, and aren't legally entitled to give me the 100$ refund (what I asked for in my last email) they offered earlier in like September. What can I do if they don't reply? and I doubt they will..

I think that NS should back all of the members who have gotten scammed and hit Revision up for some answers. Write an article about this or something. I understand that Revision has partnered with NS on a lot of things, but at the end of the day fuck that company and help out your members NS.

We're 17 pages in and this hasn't even made a common facebook post from NS yet

Enough kids clearly got duped and lost money over it. Bust from day 1 of this thread. Answers are waaaaaaay overdue from the company. Even pro athletes get on NS and talk about their shit, it's the very LEAST that revision could do for the niche ski community that wanted to support em.

Amidst all of this unbelievable bullshit that we've had to deal with, I want to give a shoutout to those that have come up clutch. I got in contact with Scott from Level 9 Sports and want to sing his praise a bit because he helped those of us in a rut, provided great customer service, and killed the game on helping those who got absolutely fucked. I ordered some skis last Monday and received them last Friday. Great skis, great condition, and at my house in a week (can you imagine?!). Can't speak highly enough of those at Level 9 and any others that have made an effort to help us out. Best of luck to all of you, hopefully the banks can work some magic for most, if not all, of you.

Looking forward to the write up NS has in the works for this entire shit sandwich situation.

i agree but seeing as NS isn't an investigative journalism group, i dont blame them for shying away from that

what i think would be appropriate and more realistic is if bishop (or whoever the contact point is) should privately say to revision, "dude you need to address the customers and ill publish it if you want"

then take it from there. im not saying revision deserves any gentlemanly treatment at this point but if i were bishop id be careful about putting people on blast. someone hears that story from a second- or third-hand source and they might think NS isn't the best place to spend advertising dollars

Juicy.

Who knew you'd see investigative journalism on NS?

If Revision doesn't offer up anything, I think it's time some pro's call out those involved because if they don't, this could happen again.

Well of course this shouldn't be the first option, it should be the nuclear one.

People want communication, transparency, and frankly answers. So far emails haven't worked, phone calls have been ignored/line is now disconnected (?), and only a few pairs of skis have been shipped.

If an investigative piece comes up empty, what options are left?

Calling people out shouldn't be the first resort, but sometimes it needs to happen to get results.

Revision has had more than enough time to address these issues but have avoided them completely. It's time to apply some pressure.

I'd be livid if I was a 16 year old kid who ordered a new pair of skis over the summer and never received them and my constant attempts to get clarification on issues were rebuffed.

That's my 2 cents.

I recently talked to a business partner of Bill's (not affiliated with Revision) and he says they've completely blown not only him off but some athletes as well. Not sure if this is true for everyone who was remotely involved, but two people who know him very well have had basically 0 contact. Very fucked

I'm assuming that most of the athlete's they sponsor are still under contract and even though this is clearly a bs company it would be considered a 'breach of contract' if they spoke bad about it. Assuming they dont want risk losing any money so they're staying silent for now

You're assuming they're paying the athletes....

If they're paying athletes and not consumers they have a bigger issue on hand.

I'm would think that guys like Sandy and Noah have who are a little longer tenured and bigger names in the industry would get some sort of financial compensation on their contracts and lesser known guys like Sam Zahner are more "on-flow" like skateboarding.

If they weren't paying them anyways then I really have no idea why they wouldnt chime-in on this thread.

Oh certainly the top athletes get paid but it almost certainly isn't one lump sum at the beginning of the year. Like most businesses, it's probably bi-weekly or monthly.

If they're paying these athletes and not giving their customers their purchased goods, I can't imagine that is legal.

But I'm armchair-QBing this so I could be way off.

Yeah thats exactly what I was thinking, I'm just assuming they're still being paid due to their silence. I'm just really curious their opinions on the matter.

I finally bit the bullet and contacted my bank around two weeks ago. All i had to do was express that i had not yet received my goods that I ordered over 8 months ago (i.e. send them the invoice, emails showing attempts to follow up on my goods etc). I've just received my refund this morning (which im super stoked about - never thought i was going to see it).

For those looking to get a refund - Definitely contact your bank ASAP! I''m from Australia and plastered all over my banks website was 'you cant get your money back if the purchase was over 90 days ago'. This is true for most circumstances, HOWEVER in the instance that goods have not been received after purchase there is no maximum time-limit (within reason).

After following this thread since 2016, i just cannot help but think there will be one day where revision just shuts everything down and declares bankruptcy. For those whose season has just finished definitely try and get your money back, what are the chances revision is going to stick around in the offseason while they are getting 0 orders? (just my 2c)
