Okay before you bitch about reposting, i search barred my last thread and checked through my threads and its already past 30 days so I didnt look for too long.

Okay so recently the story can twisted and I want your opinion..

just to remind you what happened..
I ordered a Saga suit, ($350 for suit, $65 for shipping)
L scuba.too and
M egg.nog pants.
Suit arrived, the next week, was stoked.
The week after a second suit identical to the first.
Now being an honest dude I got in touch with them (I felt bad taking a free $400 US of gear)
After taking a month to get a reply from saga, they said I could keep it to hook up someone with a sweet price..

A month later... I got an email asking if I still had the gear, and if so If I could pass it onto someone in australia ( Costs $30 US to ship to Austrlia)
Now being an honest dude, I felt like I had to.. because they said they'd pay back the cost of shipping and also add "Extra Incentive"

Anyway, without further prompting I felt like I had to ship it so I did.. Costing $20US.

Two weeks later after getting little reply from SAGA they said they would let me have a free Tee-Shirt from their site and the $25 US shipping I paid to ship the suit to Aussie would be refunded by them paying for my shipping...
So Basically.. They'd send me a Tee worth $45.
Now I checked the site and I actually wanted to get two tees and then emailed them asking if I could have two and If it was too much hassle I'd pay for the second one..

Anyway, I told some friends this story and they said that I really got raped... by swapping a $400 US suit for a $45 Tee.
Now I havnt confirmed what Shirt I want and all that so I'll see what happens

But I just want your opinion wether this is fair or not..
So the Shirt is probably worth $70 NZD whereas by being honest I gave up a $700NZD suit..( and I had to pay $40 NZD for shipping)

Opinions please.

Your friends are selfish, no-good rat bastards. You did the right thing, and got a couple of shirts out of it. So what if you didn't make a profit off of Saga's mistake?

You could really look at it either way.  You could be upset because you thught you could keep the suit, or you could be grateful you got a shirt out of it.  I can understand you are disappointed, but technically the suit wasn't yours to begin with.  Tell you friend who says that you got screwed to get a job and stop trying to get things for free :)

Yeah thats definitly true, but yeah, they told me like two months ago that I could keep it.
Basically.. They had written it off, and then made money by selling it someone else, like I know it was theirs but they did say I could keep it... So really they sold it on my be-half but instead of giving me the money, they took the money and gave me a shirt.

Dont worry, Im not bitching but just pointing that out.

As much as it isnt there obligation to give me something..
It wasnt my obligation to tell SAGA they sent me a second pair.. but morally. I did it..

your lucky either way. if you had kept the suit you would have gotten free stuff and since you sent it on now your getting a free shirt. karma is a powerful force and this time its rewarding you with free stuff.

Oh impressive. probably a good time to clear up, I hope it doesnt sound like Im trying to put SAGA down, just asking for opinions only. Still much respect to SAGA as a company and their outerwear.

So yeah, just making sure the wrong idea was not coming across from this thread, not trying to bag on SAGA :D

Well you did the right thing, the nice thing, the generous thing every opportunity you had. You should feel like the man, not like you got ripped off.

You could have said you got rid of the suit already, and you could have never said anything at all. But you helped out a small company with rad vibes. This is good. Also think of the kid who got the suit. I bet he's stoked that he actually got it, and not that his suit was mistakenly shipped and lost.

Yeah you had a time that you could have made some extra money. But you didn't know that. So it may be a missed opportunity, but it turned out for the better for the guy getting the suit and for Saga themselves. And you still get something free. Win win win situation, rather than mega win for you and lose lose for the other people.

Yeah, money-wise you got raped. But really you didn't lose any money, you just gained less. But. You also helped out some aussie who probably didn't have a saga suit yet, and get a free shirt outta it. and i gave you 10/10 karma, and hopefully more karma is coming your way

you definitely did the right thing
but obviously, it would have been sick to keep the whole suit. you could have easily just said "i have worn it a couple times" and they wouldnt be able to do anything about it...

ok, they asked you to hoook someone up with a sweet price on the suit, then you are complaining that in one month they contact you asking to ship it somewhere else. why didnt you hook someone up with a sweet price in this one month period you had the extra suit? or maybe you had the extra suit for two months because you are also saying it took saga a month to reply to you. i donno what is the case but after saga said hook someone up i would have put the suit on here for like 200 shipped tops. instead you are sitting on it for some reason.

and maybe in the beginning you

 a. be a douche and keep the extra suit and not ask for advice on the situation ON FUCKING NEwSCHOOLERS because it appears you didnt need the advice because you are complaing in this thread that you pretty much are upset that you didnt sell the suit.
b. send the suit back to saga
or c. actually hook someone up with a sweet price immediately on the thing since it was free anyway. because a sweet price doesnt mean hold onto it for a fucking year until you can sell it for more or until saga forgets you should be hooking up someone on here.

maybe thats the whisky talking?

To be honest, I just bought some saga and was crossing my fingers for two boxes. I know i wouldnt of been able to give it to someone for free if they had sent me two.

That goes both ways in my opinion.  They kind of took a gift back in the end, but you still got a free gift to start with.

i think you were pretty crazy to think that you could just get a 400$ suit for free... although they said yeah sell it, still... its crazy to think that.....sooo for you, your super lucky you got somthing out of it... because if it were any other company they would of made you return it and coverd that shipping
