wmw999 2,149 #26 August 12, 2004 Maybe I'll go back to a round reserve No freebag to lose, no custom-made pilot chute. Just handles. And if you're landing your reserve next to your stuff anyway, well, why have the square reserve that'll get you back to the DZ?

ManBird 0 #35 August 12, 2004 QuoteReserve PC $90 Freebag $75 Reserve handle $110 Cutaway handle $75 I lost everything before, but the cutaway handle (it was all stolen, including the main). My reserve handle was $50, but I remember the PC being more, because of the cap. That seems like an awful lot for handles. $75 for a pillow handle? Emroidered or anything?"¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a greedy middleman somewhere: Quote posted by AggieDave Just got off the phone with Sunrise rigging.

tigra 0 #37 August 13, 2004 I read the whole thread. My question/ request was directed at the person who started it. An explanation for his particular invoice since clearly it is not in line with their stated prices. So, Goose, can you let us know the outcome, please? If it was a mistake or misunderstanding, OR a greedy middleman? I can't be the only one who is curious! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #38 August 16, 2004 QuoteI read the whole thread. My question/ request was directed at the person who started it. An explanation for his particular invoice since clearly it is not in line with their stated prices. The explanation is "Duhhh" Al had ordered other things from them and forgotten. He wasn't home when UPS came to deliver and thought the invoice they left him was just for my stuff. My total was approximately $390USD which is right in line with Sunrise costs and a set of reserve S-links.

diablopilot 2 #39 August 16, 2004 QuoteI think the manufaturers would be wise to offer extra handles and freebag/PC at the time you order your system, at a 'normal' price. They all do, you just have to ask for them. Some (Mirage, Infinity) advertise them on their order forms.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

cvfd1399 0 #41 August 16, 2004 I do not own a racer, have never jumped a racer, just using this as a comparison b/c it is the only site that I found that had it listed. With that said, I want my first rig to be a wings, but jump shack's prices have made me want to look into their gear. Reserve PC: $70 Freebag: $65 Cutaway handle: $30 Reserve handle: $36 Pop top: ? TOTAL: $201-$216 EDIT TO ADD: If I would have looked up I would have seen the previous post Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
askir 0 #42 August 17, 2004 hey dave...jump shack makes their own pins...so no capewell Sb crap to worry about and will make any handle shape (except pillows) and they cost about 45 or 55 bucks....whoever is selling this shit at 110 is ripping you off as well, if you ever need a handle quick and inexpensive call me. It is not illegal to have other manufacturers handles so long as they are "acceptable replacements of similar manufacturing or blah blah per part 105" I think.

mjosparky 3 #43 August 17, 2004 So now is a good time to apologize to Sunrise for jumping their shit without the facts. jmoMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 140 #44 August 17, 2004 yes, an apology would be appropriate - amazes me how Sunrise can end up with a bad name here just because you never bothered to post the facts in the first place. Break down the shipping and get the real prices. If you ask for something overnight UPS and pay the brokerage charges and customs - can easily add hundreds of $ to an order as well. Sounds to me like they came through as opposed to screwing you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quoteyes, an apology would be appropriate - amazes me how Sunrise can end up with a bad name here just because you never bothered to post the facts in the first place...Sounds to me like they came through as opposed to screwing you. You too. Easy guy. Go back to the first post. I'm asking "surely there must be some mistake" I was asking for input, not trashing Sunrise. Never bothered to post the facts? I posted the very moment I found out. I defy you to find me knocking sunrise. I was sure there was some sort of mistake. I've always been happy with the service received by this company.

Before contacting Sunrise you posted on the internet that the bill was $863.71. That is what people will remember. A retraction 5 days latter in my opinion should start out with an apology for "jumping their shit" before you had the facts. jmoMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
