Suit needed Help!

Post by Dusty2 »

Anybody out the got a 4xl suite to loan? Dry or wet doesn't matter. My new suit won't make it till the end of the month and The 13th is my birthday so I have to do a Bday dive in port Townsend. A wetsuit would be fine with this hot weather and I do have boots. I borrowed a suite from Josh but its too small so back to square one!

Well guy and gals, It's been a month since I ordered my suite and the projected date has come and gone and now they are saying next week? :angry:

I am really feeling negative feelings for that sorry gastared that took my suit! :axe:

Here's hoping that when next Wed. rolls around they tell me to come get my new suit. :popcorn:

My sympathy.

There is little that is quite as frustrating as a suit that won't make its scheduled appearance, whether it's a repair or a new purchase.

Don't ask me how I know. :angry:

I think we have all been there at one time but this seems to be rampant in the industry as a whole. I think we need to go on the public work type contract. If you miss the completion date you are charged per day till you deliver. Bet that would get some action!

Hey Dusty...we had the same thing happen to us when we ordered our White's but in their defense we did order just after the Tacoma dive expo. Our LDS told us they would be surprised if we got them sooner than four weeks. Good luck with your new suit.

From time to time ANYONE can be a bit slower, USIA has a history of being on time more often than not.
The awesome thing is, in a year, you'll have forgotten all about this and the only thing you'll remember is that you love your suit!...
Good Luck Rich
