CampSaver Sucks!!!

From CampSaver website 11/16/12
CampSaver website has 2011 model BD Lotus harness advertised as clearance at 50% off (see pic). The small was listed as clearance for the 2011 model, but the price was still $79.95 (the larger 2011 model was correctly listed as $39.99 and also marked clearance in parenthesis). I called and spoke to Simon, who claimed to be the store manager. He said that the website was incorrect and that ALL the 2011 harnesses should be $79.99! WTF??? |
|
So you're mad because the website was wrong and you didn't get a deal? |
|
Go for it! Maybe this is the first and only time they lie and try to cover their tracks. I can only go from my experience! |
|
Ok now they have changed their price to the $39.99. I would rather pay full retail than deal with those guys again. I spoke twice to them on the phone and they told me both times the price should be $79.99 and then they go and change it to $39.99. |
|
As I used to work for an internet shopping site where I got the pleasure of maintaining the website and handling customer service I was curious and checked their site. It does say on this page |
|
I've not worked for an on-line retailer, but I live in Chattanooga, where Rock/Creek is based and I often compare store prices to on-line prices and have gotten better deals on-line than in store and vice versa. Just because a price is one thing on-line doesn't mean the price is the same in store. I've even seen the same when visiting REI in ATL or Denver. |
|
So, after you complained they saw an error, changed the price down to $39.99 and you're still complaining? You'd rather pay someone else $79.95 than pay Campsaver $39.99? |
|
Campsaver has always treated me right. GTG. |
|
I just realized that you double-posted this (here and in General Climbing). |
|
I have only had great experiences with Campsaver. |

Seems like a whole lot of undeserved hate...is there some other reason you're bashing on CampSaver?The OP is apparently in SLC. Might be associated with Black Diamond, for all I know. Maybe BD doesn't like Campsaver undercutting its other outlets. I dunno...just guessing. |

Things happen..you shop online enough or even just in general, sooner or later something won't go your way. Move on... |

Thanks for reminding me, there's been a sweet deal on a Rab jacket at Campsaver I've been meaning to get. |

Prices change all the time based on inventory. The store manager that you talked to probably needed approval before selling the harnesses half price. Once you alerted him to the problem he got approval and fixed it. Now you're mad and planning on spending an extra $40 because the guy did his job. |

"50% off select styles" |

This is MP. If you post anything about a harness, someone will tell you to buy one from Misty Mountain. |
|
I'm still kicking myself for not getting an extra pair of Pontas climbing shoes when they had them for under $50. |
