AggieDave 6 #1 July 10, 2003 See the SQ1 ad? What's the point of it? Especially since if something is wrong with the canopy, you'll know it in the first few jumps AND PD is really good about taking care of their customers. Especially if there is a problem.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get it either. PD already does that for you, regardless of the dealer. In the ad, it says " Customer pays all shipping costs for repairs, replacement, and/or loaner parachutes" I have seen PD pick up these costs in certain situations and provide a demo canopy at no additional cost..... depending on the situation.

diablopilot 2 #4 July 10, 2003 And you point is? If PD does all these great things AND you can get a dealer to offer the same, well it sounds good to me....---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

dgskydive 0 #5 July 10, 2003 Well let's say your canopy blows a cell do to know fault of your own in that first year. What will PD do? They will replace the cell and send it back to you (for a charge). If you have the SQ1 warranty you will get a BRAND NEW canopy. Not the same one back with a new cell. What if you tear your canopy on a fence or have an of site landing and have to set it down in a very small area and tear it on something (fence, tree, power lines). Will PD give you a new canopy? Hell no they will repair it for a charge and sent it back. With the warranty form SQ1 you would get a BRAND NEW CANOPY! What if your buddy lands right behind you and steps on your canopy ripping it in the process? Well PD give you a new canopy? With the SQ1 warrany you will get a BRAND NEW CANOPY! Now does it make sense?Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 4 #6 July 10, 2003 so... if I exit the plane, and my canopy mysteriously catches on fire ... I can get a new canopy?it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genn 0 #7 July 10, 2003 Read the fine print.... In the ad, it says " Customer pays all shipping costs for repairs, replacement, and/or loaner parachutes" You do NOT always get a BRAND NEW canopy... EDIT: It still doesn't make sense to me. You would have to do the same with PD...you're just skipping the middle man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #9 July 10, 2003 In the ad, it says " Customer pays all shipping costs for repairs, replacement, and/or loaner parachutes" ____________________________________________________________ Correct! It says you pay the SHIPPING costs. Not for the repair. I guess I can see where you could miss read that. To clear the record, you only pay the shipping! Not for the repair of the canopy.What would be the point if we made you pay for the repair.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 4 #10 July 10, 2003 QuoteYUP! .... even if I had a flare gun in my pocket that accidently went off and torched the canopy?it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #11 July 10, 2003 If you shoot yourself in the ass with a flair gun you will have bigger problems then getting a new canopy, but I'll personally deliver it to you in that case along with a big ole box of dumb ass to replace the one you already used up.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 4 #12 July 10, 2003 SWEET! ... I might even get my own show on MTV and a new canopy out of it! Will you bring the Bytch along with you too? That'd just make it all worth it right there!it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
