Golite Huge Clearance – Up to 70% off, example 2008 Pinnacle $39

I have just received the out of stock email on the Sage poncho, HOWEVER I WAS given the option of changing my order to the "Sea" color and still only paying the same $24.XX.

In the end I cancelled my order since I only wanted it because it was so cheap, but I would have no real use for it since my larger tarp weighs about the same as the older poncho, but provides much more coverage.

I wasn't given the option of changing it even though I said I would take it in the sea color. Half of my order (2 of 4) was canceled. I asked them to hold it for a day today because I didn't know if I still wanted it. They said they were too busy to hold or cancel.

I think it's ironic that some of you gripe about foreign made gear, chastise others for "taking advantage" of other retailers who incorrectly priced items on their website and didn't honor the sales, yet you refuse to pay clearance prices on clearance gear because you tried to snake an additional 40% off a CLEARANCE price. Is trying to get something for as cheaply as possible only okay in certain situations, then?

I think that attitude is more disturbing than buying anything from Walmart.

Agreed, in part or on whole. Similar behavior that keeps me away from those REI gear sales events. gluttony. lust. avarice.

All this talk of issues with the GoLite costumer service got me worried. I ordered a Jam ($55 shipped) on Friday, hadn't gotten an email or been charged as of this morning. So, I called their costumer service, got through in about 20 seconds, was informed it would ship from the warehouse today or tomorrow. A few hours later I'd gotten my UPS confirmation. No problems here.

You’re in luck! Try the new Ronco Panty De-Twister! In just minutes you’ll have twist free panties and a new lease on life! Just listen to some of our happy customers:

“ I was calling about my credit card balance, and the person on the other end of the line just wasn’t being helpful. My panties were really getting in a twist! But I remembered my Ronco Panty De-Twister, and a few minutes later I was calm and collected. My changed demeanor softened the customer support rep, and I got the info I was looking for!” — Bob T., Dallas

“My next door neighbor wouldn’t trim his tree limbs, and they kept dropping leaves in my yard! I was getting so mad that my panties were twisting something awful! But after a minute or two with my Ronco Panty De-Twister, I was happily raking the leaves into a pile for all the kids to jump in. Now I’m the coolest Dad on the block! Thanks Ronco!” — Dave G., Des Moines

“All I wanted was a fricking date, but the stupid women on Match.com had no appreciation for my listing of cuben in my favorite things list! Can you believe it! Fortunately, I had my Ronco Panty De-Twister handy! Now I’m dating more women than I can handle! I’m ordering one for my friend Bob!” — Doug I., Bowie

Those are just a few of the hundreds of testimonials we receive every week! So don’t wait another minute! Are the police harassing you for driving over the speed limit? Did your mother-in-law just tell you she was moving in? Did your GoLite order get cancelled when you just wanted another color? Don’t get mad, get de-twisted! Your family, and your panties, will thank you for it!

We now return you to our regularly scheduled forum banter…….

Daryl

Dang, I missed it, right?

Doug-I am outraged at your insensitivity to my outrage.

:)

do just set it… and forget it =P?!

Should i call them up? I never got my confirmation either, I ordered a couple of shirt and a tarp

Do not attempt to use while going commando.

Ken: Had to laugh when I saw that. Been reading threads about hiking in a kilt…

+1 on the kilts! Love my Mountain Hardwear El Kommando, though it's a bit heavy to use hiking… At least, so far. We'll see this summer. :)

What are Golite's base layers like as far as sizing? Just ordered a Cap 1 and Cap 2 during Patagonia's end of winter sale in XXL and found them to be way too big, but I don't know if going to XL with the Golite BS-1/2 would be a bad idea.

Thanks for your patience everyone!

We expect to be very busy the next few days. Have fun shopping.

I picked up a 2009 jam color green for $50.00. cool sale to bad the ponchos sold out.

it shows they have the poncho in sea. getting slightly miffed

I'm guess my purchase of the Reed pants the other day didn't work……..and I'd take the 2008 packs over the 2009s, they got heavier in '09.

There goes the budget!

Woot! Ended up going for the Poncho Tarp for $36 shipped. Been waffling on that one since December, but I gotta at least give poncho tarping a try. Thanks Golite!

Decided against the BL-1 and/or BL-2, though I'm still curious about fit. But Konrad's little writeup mentioned a big neck opening. I've got no sense of style, but big, loose neck holes drive me *nuts*.
