Squeak 17 #6 July 3, 2007 They have been in the game a long time and are very respected, I buy my stuff through them and I'm in Australia, I can get most things cheaper, via SS Factorythan from our our gear suppliers. I use either ParaGear or Sunshine FactoryYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

ROK 0 #7 July 3, 2007 The Sunshine Factory is at my home DZ. I've bought/sold canopies and all of my gear through Dave and have always received oustanding professional service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newbie 0 #8 July 3, 2007 Spent $6500 with Dave this year. It's a lot of money and i was happy for him to have every cent. There is a good reason why him and his team are rated so high on customer service. Thoroughly recommended. "Skydiving is a door" Happythoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toronto_bill 0 #11 July 4, 2007 Dave has sold me 80% of my gear. Including my Katana 89, Mirage Container and a 120. Great to deal with for shipping. 10/10. Bill MacBrien Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kschilk 0 #12 July 4, 2007 I ordered a canopy through them last year and though there were some probs at the mfgr., it got handled and the Sunshine Factory service was top-notch throughout. Huuuuge kudos to Joannie and the rest of the team! They're always my first choice for gear."T'was ever thus." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maurice1369 0 #13 July 5, 2007 I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and I was recently on R&R leave for 15 days and while I was home I ordered a complete rig with AAD and everything was customized to what I had wanted and I had spent roughly $5500 and the whole time I was working with Joannie. She had informed me that since I am military and I got 50% off of my wings container she was not making any money off of the purchase. even after she had informed me of this she never made me feel that after I gave her my 20% deposit that it was about the money. I originally was gonna go with the Icarus reserve but she informed me about the PD Reserve and how it was a better choice. All in all after dealing with Joannie and finding out that she was one of the owners of Sunshine Factory it felt like she was all about helping me purchase the right equipment so now I am gonna purchase all my gear from her.EXPECT THE WORST, HOPE FOR THE BEST!!!

technigirl 0 #14 July 7, 2007 I bought new gear through Sunshine Factory this past winter, and they were amazing. Dave sat with me for ages to choose colors & options, called to give me updates on delivery time, and was positively awesome to deal with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mik 2 #15 July 8, 2007 I have used the Sunshine Factory several times - in my experience the staff are fantastic and the service is great - not just for for the expensive stuff (rigs etc). It does not seem to matter if youare spending $20 or $2500 - the service is outstanding!!! *********************************************** I'm NOT totally useless... I can be used as a bad example Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maurice1369 0 #18 August 27, 2007 Again I must say that Joannie at sunshine factory is awesome. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and she has gone above and beyond any customer service I have encountered by sending me pics of my new WINGS container. Here are a couple pics of my new container. I am simply in love with it.EXPECT THE WORST, HOPE FOR THE BEST!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
