My Season of bad luck.

So first, i get a pair of dirt cheap 169cm 06-07 fujatives for only 140$!!! and then the shop drills threw my ski.... really pissed at this point(pre-season) and then they give my disorderlys for free!!!! (even tho promised kung fujas) so i was really happy this season, until about after 20 times of skiing (first year) my ski gets an edge crack, and it starting to pull out! The bases arent holding wax at all either, ive waxed them so much properly and after 3 times, they are dead. Also the toe piece is always loose on one ski, this is pissing me off, i think either the shop drilled the hole too big, and screwed up again, or somehow? i pulled it out. So i think for next year i need a fresh start. Here are my options and i need ur help!!!

i really want to get anthems and just use my old bindings, or i could use the disorderlys and risk a edge pull out, and a slow ski, or i can get a base weld on my fujatives, which at this point i dont think are really usable since there is a hole.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?! thanks and +k for people who actually read and help!

make your shop buy you anthems and get them mounted somewhere else.

or just buy anthems, and DEFINITELY get them mounted somewhere else.

that sucks but my season was even worst haha First day out i got my brand new invaders stolen. Then 10 days later my new 4frnt bindings break so I buy new rossi bindings (binding #3 this year) then my moment broke about 2 weeks ago so I had to buy new skis before i would get my moments from warranty (legit!) and then last week my rossignol bindings broke again so back to warranty, meanwhile they broke like 5 times but I could always repair them somehow. So yep 4 pair of bindings and 3 pair of skis in one year, I swim in debts but i love skiing :) haha sorry for thread jacking

they already hooked me up with free disorderlys since they screwed threw, should i blame them for the toe piece being loose? and they dont carry the anthems but i could have them order them and there is this shop 2 minutes away that know what they are doing. so that would be sweet, but how do i go about bitching out the shop? call? Go in? bring ski?

yes, you should blame them for the toe piece, assuming that you didnt do anything to it. make them give you another pair of disorderly's. and if you have another shop near you, go to them instead. but this shop should have to pay for the damages to your skis, if you want to call it that. bitch about the skis. if the disordely's are more than the anthems, then you should get free skis. if the anthems are more expensive, offer to pay the difference between the 2, then take the to the other shop, and get them to mount yur bindings properly, without big holes.

at least you have 2 shops near you. for me its either 15 mins, or 45 mins. and the 45 min shop is expensive as hell, so i dont even bother going there.

yeah that's something with k2 though, not yur shop. but technically yur shop should give you another pair, and send the other ones to k2, i think.
