Found this one on Reddit: EMS has OR Helium II jackets for cheap. Use the 20% discount code “WINTER18” at checkout for a total of $33.57 with shipping. Coyote brown only.

Nov 15, 2018 at 8:26 pm #3564281Ordered the wrong size by accident but EMS can not modify or cancel an order once it is placed. Weird right?
Nov 15, 2018 at 8:32 pm #3564282Call them.
Nov 15, 2018 at 8:34 pm #3564283I did. They can do nothing about it. Apparently it is posted on their website that they can not modify or cancel and order once it is placed. Oh well.
Nov 15, 2018 at 8:39 pm #3564284Have your credit card company cancel the payment.
Nov 15, 2018 at 8:40 pm #3564285Woah, seems too good to be true but let’s roll the dice and see.
Any other killer deals on their site?
Nov 15, 2018 at 8:54 pm #3564288Order the correct one and refuse the first one
Nov 15, 2018 at 9:03 pm #3564289They are out of XXL so I can not order a new one and my credit card company can’t do anything until the charge posts which usually takes a day or two and by that time it will probably have been shipped.
Nov 15, 2018 at 9:44 pm #3564295In the worst case, I doubt you would have any trouble selling here.
Nov 15, 2018 at 10:25 pm #3564301They just cancelled my order for an XL. I replied that if I can’t cancel an order, neither can they.
Nov 15, 2018 at 10:35 pm #3564302that website is messed up! Â Every time you refresh the page, different sizes are shown as available but none of them will add to the cart :)
“Seems too good to be true” is right, except perhaps for a very few lucky souls.
Nov 15, 2018 at 11:22 pm #3564304EMS on occasion has blow out sales like this. They got picked up by venture capital in like 2014, declared bankruptcy in 2016 (over aggressive expansion on borrowed money) and got picked up by a UK retailer last fall so sales by the new ownership as they restructure isn’t unusual
Nov 16, 2018 at 1:06 am #3564312But not keeping your inventory up to date is okay? I think not. Not coming up with the toys doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling about doing future business with these dolts!
Nov 16, 2018 at 1:10 am #3564320Double post…
Sorry
Nov 16, 2018 at 1:12 am #3564330My guess they may be trying to unload their “hardcore” outdoors stuff and refocus on the casual outdoorsy person. They tried to go head to head with REI in terms of having “super stores” and it blew up. So they seem to be focusing more on line and with the smaller mall stores. Those smaller stores usually carry more outdoor fashion than technical gear.
Also they may just be unloading a surplus of an unpopular color.
Nov 16, 2018 at 3:07 pm #3564398They have not cancelled mine yet so if I get it we will work something out Dale
