Kuiu Sale

[mburrows]

I ordered gaiters 3 months ago and have not received them? said they were behind because of the big port strike.

Thats a cop out. I love kuiu gear but damn its frustrating trying to just get your gear and hope it arrives before September.

Kuiu is a joke. Terrible business model, can't keep anything in stock, can't deliver products in any sort of a timely manner, and they have an arogant dipchit of an owner. Its too bad because they do have some good stuff.

He selling 70$ t-shirts and 200$ pants, and is moving them as fast as he can get them.  I think he's doing allright

Doesn't mean they aren't dysfunctional as an organization.  I tried going with Kuiu but the availability and customer service from Sitka has been 100% better.

I guess I've been pretty lucky on my orders,  only thing I've had to wait for were the Alpine pants which I knew when I ordered them.

What do you think of the alpine pants? Thinking about picking up a pair.

Who else is supposed to benefit from it?

Kuiu hasnt had a decent sale in a while. Unless a guy had time to get to Dixon, CA.

Does anyone know if they are planning a fathers day sale or a 4th of July sale?

I live about 10 minutes from Dixon.  If you're ever in a bind and need some info, let me know.

I'm liking them, I sold my tiburons since I never wore them as the attacks worked well during all my hunts. Alpines will definitely get used early archery time will tell if I use them in muzzy and rfile (multiseason). I'm in Puyallup if you want to pm me and we can meet up so you can see them before you buy. That goes for anyone who wants to see some kuiu before they buy.  If it's reasonable I'll meet up with any member who is close by.

I have had good luck-quick ship-no backorders and the kit is first rate.

The customer 

Gosh if I am spending $200 on a pair of pants (I have) then I expect to be receiving something I am pretty excited about and some good service to boot.  Premium products should come with at least average service.  There are comparable products out there with much better merchandising systems in my experience.

So move to Wisconsin, then.  The amount of whining you guys do about this company is ridiculous.  If you think there is other stuff out there that is just as good for the same price, wipe the sand out of your vajayjay and go buy it.  "I want my stuff and I want it right now!!!"  Quit crying already.

I've seen a few people complain about their customer service, but the vast majority of reviews are outstanding.
   
Kuiu builds hunting gear out of more expensive materials than gear that is available just about anywhere, and nowhere in the hunting industry.  Sometimes this results in  products that are better than anything else out there, sometimes it doesn't.  Either way, if they sold their products the traditional retail route  all of you teenage girls would be crying about how friggin' expensive it is.

They started from scratch.  Demand ends up far exceeding forecast.  They forecast much bigger the next year, and demand still exceeds it.  This creates inventory issues.  They forecast much bigger again...

It's obvious many of you don't run a business, and especially one with massive growth.  It's not easy, and it's certainly multiple times harder to please everyone all the time than running the local convenience store is.

BTW- If this is such a terribly run company how are they still in business?  I'll wait for the explanation.

[Jonathan_S]

Hit a nerve did it?

You talk about business savvy...then you lash out like a cornered, wounded animal.

I like Kuiu products and would be willing to spend more if I could go the retail route.

I didn't say they were terribly ran, I said they have a premium product and should try to match that with at least an average merchandising service. 

There are many exploding companies that find a way to keep customers happier despite longer turnaround times.  How do THEY keep people happy?  I'll wait for an explanation

If they continue to incorrectly forecast that is not a good business model. Essentially they are missing out on potential customers because of their lack of planning.  Btw, i dont think it has anything to do with forecasting, based on what ive read about kuiu their supply chain is pretty shotty. Thats the cause of their shortages.

Nobody ever said their products werent great because they make awesome gear.  You cant argue they arent losing business though because of the wait times to get the gear.
