I got 20 % off my 2010 Fox fork today. Sale through tomorrow, October 18.:thumbsup:
Things wear out. The return policy isn't there for you to buy something once and never had to buy a new one again. If you wear the fork out, man up and buy a new one.poontank said:I just picked up a 2010 Fox F100 for $591-ish + tax. With REI's 100% satisfaction guarantee I can't go wrong. If the fork blows up in 3 or four years, I can just take it back; no questions asked. Plus having a brick and mortor location near by is always nice. :thumbsup:
Huh? Why does int seem like half the people on this forum feel that it is there job to "set people straight." Just to be clear, I wasn't looking for advice on how to handle my affairs. :nono:Dwayne said:Things wear out.

I'll add my 2 cents since no one asked . As an REI member, it annoys me when people selfishly abuse REI's return policy because it costs the co-op money (which means higher prices and lower dividends for all members), and will eventually lead to a tightening of the policy. That very thing happened at Costco, people were abusing their liberal return policy, so they put a lot of restrictions on it. So it's not strictly "your" affairs when it affects other people.poontank said:Huh? Why does int seem like half the people on this forum feel that it is there job to "set people straight."

You could make that argument about anything. There isn't anything that a person can that does not affect someone else in some way. I'm still not soliciting advice on how I conduct my affairs, but thanks. :thumbsup:zuuds said:So it's not strictly "your" affairs when it affects other people.
I'm not giving out advice, you can conduct your affairs as you please. But when you do things like:poontank said:You could make that argument about anything.

Instead of lashing out at your critics, why don't you just defend your position and explain why it is cool to use a pair of forks for 3 years and then return them to REI and demand your money back. . . that'll really put us in our place!poontank said:Yeah, that list could go on and on and on and include things like:
People who smoke in public
People who have abortions instead of putting their child up for adoption
People who make judgments about others without knowing all the facts
It's just hard to make the argument that people that do things that affect others are bad and in need of your advice. Or maybe you do this to everyone you disagree with. I don't know.
Nobody's bragging here.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Okay, that's an easy one. The fork was only used 5 times over 3 years and then blew up. I'd take back a $700 fork back in that instance. I don't know if it would be "cool", but definitely appropriate in my estimation. You may disagree, but then again, I'm not asking for approval or advice.zuuds said:Instead of lashing out at your critics, why don't you just defend your position and explain why it is cool to use a pair of forks for 3 years and then return them to REI and demand your money back. . . that'll really put us in our place!
Walmart return policy is not that strict at allnorcalruckus said:Are you really comparing Walmart's return policy to REI? Or is it just a comment regarding the sales being made up in spite of a liberal return policy? Because as far as I know (I have not been in a Walmart to shop for years) Walmart has a much stricter return policy. REI's return policy is a blessing if your product fails from a date outside of the usual 30-90 day return time for most stores. But yes, some people abuse it as well. I have seen a guy return a pair of 5 plus year old Birkenstocks, well worn, and advise that he was not satisfied with them and he demanded a store credit. Unfortunately, he got the credit.
