[pct-l] big sky international

[Bob Bankhead]

There is a long, on-going discussion/rant/bitch session regarding this company, it's owner, and his extremely poor customer service/delivery performance over at the Backpackinglight forums.  See http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=2700

Bottom line - caveat emptor, in spades!

  Dear All:

  Last December I sent Big Sky International 
  http://www.bigskyinternational.com/ $220 for one of their nice little 
  tents.  It was promised in April.  This was a promotion - you pay up 
  front for the tent and they ship it four months later - I got a 20% 
  discount for doing this, hence the $220 for a $280 tent. 

  It is now November and I still haven't received it.  I've sent e-mails 
  and made telephone calls and get the run-around.  I've been hesitant to 
  ask the pct-l community if they have had similar experiences because I 
  didn't want to trash the company's reputation.  I still don't. 

  After having every query avoided and not answered by the owner, I'm 
  curious to see if anyone else has  had a similar experience.  I'm hoping 
  the company is on the up and up and mine is a unique situation (why me 
  he asks, why me???)

  Has anyone else been treated this poorly?

  Thanks for any responses you might have...

  Jeff, just Jeff...
