Chicago LDS purchasing WOES revisited

[ScubaInChicago]

Are you trying to tell me that you got great customer service and a great price, all without stepping foot inside a LDS. I find that hard to believe, that people answered the phone and stand behind their products, and don't have a brick and mortar store. You should be ashamed of yourself, your the reason local dive stores are going out of business. I think you should add up all the money you saved and walk into your LDS and just give it to them.

Dive Right In and Dolphin both have brick and mortar stores, and offer great service

And a markup of 30-50% over what StreetDoc paid for his gear online...What would be the point???? Do you think he wants to support someone else's family? Maybe those are good places to try on gear and see if it fits before committing to the purchase online?

I think you should call all your LDS's and confess to your actions and ask for forgiveness.

Maybe I'll send them a check... "just because"

 

[ScubaInChicago]

That or you can send it to me, I have a Tech class I want to take....or just make it out to Bob Sherwood....

Thanks for the info

BTW, We do have innertubes to secure backup lights if you want to come try some on before buying online

I purchase both on line and in my local LDS, and look for the best price and service in both .

What you are are suggesting is just plain wrong. Going to a shop and using them as a fitting room with the intent of purchasing someplace else is bad karma.

Be it a dive shop or any other business , using people is wrong.
