Warning for Goode skis. They are a scam.

[Skidog]

Amazing. Do you really think they should honor this agreement they made 5 years ago, that you decided to ignore this whole time? Or are you just embarrassed that you knew you should have dealt with this long ago, and now you've gotta cover by getting mad at someone?

How exactly were you going to wind up paying for half the value of these in shipping, anyway? You said if you were unlucky and had to pay taxes and customs. It doesn't seem like you'd have to pay those on a return. But this means you didn't really even look into returning the skis. How did you think you were going to be able to ignore this for 5 years and then still get your money back? The cost of the skis doesn't even mean the same thing 5 years later, how would the most honest company even know what they owe you after this long?

Well they owe him full retail price he paid. Least that's his story.

It doesn't necessarily.

I hear Rax Skis have a no questions asked, lifetime warranty. PM Rontele for more info!

[Timberridge]

Have the doctors cleared him to post?

[cravenmorhead]

Yeahhhhh, if five years ago I offered to sell my car to you for $5k and then never heard from you again, and then you showed up today demanding I honor the deal, our conversation would be a pretty brief one.

[The AD]

Maybe Goode has decided to wait five years before sending your refund check.

Actually, that would work out pretty good for you.

LA grave - wanna buy my car today, for 5% under KBB? You can pick it up in 2022.

Winner

[Andyski]

The customer is always jong.

[Danno]

There had to be some intervening communication, right? I mean, nobody would get the "ok, I will refund if you send me the skis" and then wait 5 years -- without communicating that -- to send the skis and expect the refund, right? Right?

[Skidog]

OP will likely not be back to post. He didn't find the support he required. Let this thread drift off as to not further ruin Goode skis name.

Before this thread I assumed that honesty was as important for Americans as it is for the rest of the world. I am surprised that my assumption seems erroneous

Before this thread I assumed that honesty was as important for Americans (I guess most people on this forum are Americans) as it is for the rest of the world. I am surprised that my assumption seems erroneous (or is this attitude specific for people on this website?).

You do know who we elected to be our President right? Clearly, honesty is not a priority for many Americans. Trump's election should also give you some insight into our position on consumer rights.

[stuckathuntermtn]

You obviously never been to La Grave. Do you even own a passport?

Nope. Typical American asshole. You ever ski Big Sky?

gaper :

welcome to my Ignore list.

stuck. is a magg. ( / mang )

I appreciate the support, but the unintentional hilarity of this is well worth keeping him off the ignore. It's aight, yo.

Could have fooled us.

I still don't understand why anyone would buy Goode skis? Especially if you had to order from the US to Europe and pay $180USD shipping? Just why.

[Greydon Clark]

And as an aside, how much would it cost to send a pair of skis without bindings across the pond? :

$188. Per the email from 2012.

five star

[la_grave]

Dude, you waited 5 years to return the skis. How long should their offer or a refund lasted? 10 years? 100? Into perpetuity?

Perpetuity, of course. Why not? That e-mail is basically a contract. If Goode had gone bankrupt while I was waiting, I would've been my own fault but beyond that there is no reason for this "offer" to be time limited.

[la_grave]

No one here is saying that they shouldn't have honored what they told you. We're saying you're an idiot for waiting five years to send them back. If I was the owner of that company I would assume you've been skiing them all this time.

They were broken and unskiable. Maybe you should read up on things before you post? Or do you love to see your own words on the screen so much you couldn't resist?

[la_grave]

I still don't see how shipping back from where you live would've been more than the original purchase price. You must suck at shipping

I didn't say that.

[la_grave]

And as an aside, how much would it cost to send a pair of skis without bindings across the pond?

Something like $400-500 (not including possible taxes and customs). As you can see Goode themselves paid almost $200 and they surely pay according to some enterprise price list that is much cheaper than what a single person pays for the same service.

[la_grave]

Interesting (retarded) attitude in this thread. Goode has not refused to return the money, they have admitted to have lost track of the skis and then decided to stop communicating. THAT is the why they are a scam because this could have happened with a pair of skis that are a week old.

If they had referred to some legal issues like "according to our terms and conditions you must return the skis within six months to be entitled to a reimbursement" then it would/might have been (unnecessary) bad customer service or something like that, but not a scam. However. signing of the package and then claiming they lost it could happen to anyone and it is a "good" way to scam people. Also, ceasing to respond to communication is a clear sign of fraudulent business practises.

[la_grave]

Amazing. Do you really think they should honor this agreement they made 5 years ago, that you decided to ignore this whole time?

Of course. Why shouldn't they? Are you gonna call your bank tomorrow "my mortgage agreement is more than five years old, therefore I think I don't need to honor it anymore". Good luck.

Or are you just embarrassed that you knew you should have dealt with this long ago, and now you've gotta cover by getting mad at someone?

I "dealt" with it immediately and realised it was unreasonable to send it that way.

How exactly were you going to wind up paying for half the value of these in shipping, anyway?

The quotes on shipping alone I got was around $400-500. Add customs etc to that.

But this means you didn't really even look into returning the skis.

No it doesn't. That is a logical fallacy.

The cost of the skis doesn't even mean the same thing 5 years later, how would the most honest company even know what they owe you after this long?

Are you this stupid or are you just trolling? Maybe by looking at the original invoice?

[la_grave]

Yeahhhhh, if five years ago I offered to sell my car to you for $5k and then never heard from you again, and then you showed up today demanding I honor the deal, our conversation would be a pretty brief one.

That is a brilliant analogy. Idiot. Besides, do you think your car retains it value? I would be extremely happy if someone bought my car for it's market value five years ago. That you even think this example is smart says a lot about you.
