Revision Messed Up

So, back in September I was looking around for a new pair of skis for this season. After hours of searching, someone recommended revision skis. They look sick so I got them for a sick deal during the pre-sale. There was only one slight issue, the skis ship date was "mid November" although that was kinda annoying I knew I wouldn't be skiing at all between now and that time. Fast foward almost 3 months and I still havent heard from them, so I sent them an email regarding the shipping. They said that they would contact me in the next week for an Update. They sent another email a few days later saying they ran into some issues during production. "Due to some quality inconsistencies, we made the decision to rebuild a good portion of our skis". At that time I was like "ok, well I would rather wait 2-3 more weeks for solid skis then get low-quality skis now". They also said they would send another email in about a week for a new ETA. I got the email this morning and they said the new shipping date would be THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY. Thats almost have way into the ski season. I'm disappointed because the skis looked so fun but theres no way im waiting that long.


But thats not all, they also gave me (and all other customers) a $100 coupon to there website. Sure I appreciate them going out of there way to do that because they definitely feel bad abut this whole situation, but $100 is not gonna keep me waiting around for another month and a half. So, what do you guys think. Are any of you guys in the same Boat as Me?
Could this issue possibly be the end of revision?

.MASSHOLE.Well of course this shouldn't be the first option, it should be the nuclear one.

People want communication, transparency, and frankly answers. So far emails haven't worked, phone calls have been ignored/line is now disconnected (?), and only a few pairs of skis have been shipped.

If an investigative piece comes up empty, what options are left?

Calling people out shouldn't be the first resort, but sometimes it needs to happen to get results.

Revision has had more than enough time to address these issues but have avoided them completely. It's time to apply some pressure.

I'd be livid if I was a 16 year old kid who ordered a new pair of skis over the summer and never received them and my constant attempts to get clarification on issues were rebuffed.

That's my 2 cents.


I would honestly be more livid if an investigative piece did manage to get an official response out of Revision. If you're willing to talk to the press but not your rightfully pissed off customers,

Went to my bank a little less than two weeks ago to get the issue resolved. Got my money back in less than 15 days. Still no response from revision. If you haven't talked to your bank yet id highly recommend it. Believe it or not banks are usually on your side for this kind of thing.

Considering it's exetemly likely that the riders were riding skis free or at discount, the consumers are still enevitably the ones that got tooled hard.
There's kids who tossed around their own $300-500 on skis from saving summer money or help from parents - who likely can't justify that $$ for their kids in the first place - to have a no show on product for MONTHS.

Riders will get picked up again and get free shit.
This is a bigger problem.

honestly I would say everyone got dicked around equally hard. Rider's didn't get skis this season, riders were fully out of contact with the owners. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to put out a segment of any sorts when you aren't getting hooked up, then imagine trying to get picked up by another company (especially for the smaller guys) when they just went a whole season with the inability to produce content or travel. Everyone's situation is shitty, but don't discredit how fucked the athletes got.

Touché. You bring a valid point to the conversation. Inevitably this situation hinders the company, for the profit and substance of the company only. Of course it's going to suck for the riders, but this whole thread is user/consumer based to the point that a pre-sale and the reship due to "manufacture malfunction" for the skis led to the entire end of the company to the means of absolutely no contact or functional communication. This is why the customers took a hit beyond reasonable means. The athletes continually have an opportunity to release content whether it's on revisions skis or not.

By now I'd say that they deserve to be spoken about from the athletes or people in the industry that know more than we do. Its shameful that they could post pictures like that and be counter claiming the poor kids that want there money back. This would be a whole different story if they kept their communication the whole time but the lack of it and the picture of paradise to me seems like its a start of a new chapter for them.

LOL and they're challenging bank claims while they're doing this?

Seriously, this is on the level of shenanigans that darknet drug dealers pull when they want to quit. They usually just take in a bunch of fucking orders that they never ship out and then close up shop with all the cash money. I never thought I'd see the day where this would be used in a legitimate industry so blatantly, I thought we were supposed to be protected from this garbage.

Am I the only one to have revision challenge their claim? They had around 45 days to go to your bank and do so. I thought I had pulled out of bullshit until my bank called and said revision had its dick in my ass again. The situation just keeps getting worse and worse. Now my money is tangled in all this legal bullshit.

I just really want to know if they are actually trying to produce skis or scam people. At the moment it sure feels like a scam.

out of curiosity, how did they challenge it? in order to dispute a claim like that, revision has to provide sufficient proof that they held up their end of the agreement and fulfilled your order. did they provide your bank with a tracking number or proof of delivery or anything? did they finally ship your skis?

If Revision is actually refuting your bank claim and attempting to recoup the money you spent with them, then we are honestly approaching grounds for civil suit. With what danbrown said, can you ask your bank to send documentation of Revision's bank claim reversal?

To clarify my earlier statement, there's a very minimal chance that Revision does actually see any sort of litigation with the current situation standing right now. If anything, Arbitration would probably be the highest level this would go to on all accounts, and even that would take a lot more time, money, and energy to even get to there.

None-the-less, if Revision: 1) failed to abide by the terms and conditions of the transaction by failing to deliver the purchased product to the customer outside of the promised delivery date within a reasonable time frame (I'd argue 60+ days is way outside of reasonable time frame, even if they simply gave a vague description of the promised date such as "Mid-January" or offering a $100 voucher for purchase of other merchandise), 2) failing to notify the customer of a revised or amended promised delivery date, and 3) attempted to refute bank claim reversals by providing little to no proof or evidence of a valid tracking number or valid confirmation of shipping the product, then Revision is starting to walk outside the lines of company malfeasance and into a whole other world of hurt.

Even if Revision said we're keeping the skis and we're only giving you half of your money back (still fucked up to do, I'm not defending this either), going back to refute bank claim reversals without proper documentation is so ballsy it's unreal, and reaching the point of more than just unethical...

By any chance, can anyone who purchased skis post a copy of the fine print when they bought the skis? I know it's a long shot but it could really help clarify some finer details
SofaKingSickJd may? Might just be "jd" now

Great looks, it was definitely J.D. Would love for him to come in right now and hear his take on Revision attempting to reverse bank claims.

Revision is a small company, they likely don't have the funds to enact petty litigation against people in another country on top of handling a civil suit if one happens. Based on that IG post it looks like hes blowing through the money hes grifting off his customers on vacations to Florida and other shit.

Thanks for posting this.

"Cancellation/Refund Policy
You may cancel your order at any time before it has shipped to you (excluding pre-sale orders). Orders placed via pre-sale are not eligible for order cancellation. Unused products in original packaging may be returned for a full refund within 14 days of purchase."

I believe one person in this thread tried to return his skis and was unable due to lack of communication from Revision (not able to obtain a return address).
In doing so, they've effectively broke their own terms and conditions by not providing a return shipping address, hence it is impossible to return your item within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
