Luxe Hiking Gear Scam
« on: July 02, 2023, 10:19:00 AM »
Do Not Buy from them, it's a scam! I have been waiting since March for a shelter pole that I purchased to arrive and customer service is unresponsive.  After doing a quick internet search turns out I'm not the only one who has been scammed by this company.  Buyer be Ware!

Sorry hear that, I saw the reviews recently, they've left a lot of people hanging. I had thought about buying from them a year or 2 ago because they were local and reasonably priced, glad I didn't

Yeah its pretty disappointing. I really like the Twinpeak tent that I got from them a couple years ago.  Thankfully it was only the shelter pole that I didn't receive so I'm only out $50 bucks. I feel for the guys who paid for the tents and haven't received them.  I'm trying to take it up with my bank to see if I can get reimbursed. We'll see.

Stumbled across this video. Sounds like this has been going on for a while.

If you used a credit card you may be able to get your money back depending on their rules for how long you can go before you can report a fraudulent charge.

They are based out of Forks.  Drive up there and get your money back.

Wonder if he's ever in the shop anymore
I'm up there every other week I'll have to swing in.
I don't want to rep his product if he's doing bad business.

Sucks that guys still scamming.
Check out three ridges gear, they are the new US luxe distributor. I bought an octapeak from them last month. Showed up in 2 days and looks great.

That would cost me more in gas than the $50 bucks I'm out

I thought the manufacturer cut him off

I’m in forks, he was a dirt bag, and he definitely isn’t in the same location if he’s still in business at all

He’s still “selling” it on his website.

I got an octopeak and stove a few years back. I ordered a center pole that was on b/o for awhile. They sent the wrong size for a smaller tent. Was a blessing as it was heavy and not what I really wanted. I ordered a center pole from Seek and it works perfectly and is much lighter for back country adventures.
fear no fish!!

Luxe is a complete scam. I have bought and received 2 tents a couple of years ago. The 2nd tent was a struggle but I finally received it. However,  my partner ordered and paid for a stove last August.  Luxe semi communicated with him for a while. Then after Christmas he started asking more questions as to why he hadn't received his stove.  They literally have stopped all communication since. Every month he emails them without a single response.  I told him before he ordered the stove it was a risk that he wouldn't receive it. Unfortunately I was right. This company still advertises on social media. Complete dirtbag company. Zero warranty with zero communication.  I guess when they don't even ship you your product you can't really complain about there pathetic warranty. Totally a scam company
