I am so INSANE!

**Riverkilt** · 14th October 04, 12:22 AM

Only a gutter kilt junkie would do this.

James, the VP of Sportkilt who posts to this board, still hasn't responded to my email of 10/2 trying to get a full size Macdonald sash. The one they shipped with my order was only 66" long...the nice lady at the office said the others are 90+"...but oh well, the Macdonald's are just short...

When I saw James post thought maybe he'd answer his email being a VP and all. So far, nada...and I've never received an answer from the email on their website...Seamus I think.

Knowing all this I found myself ordering sox from them tonight...I like the sox they sell. Got the fever and wound up ordering 8 pairs of sox... then a flash...then another Sportkilt.

When I tried to order on line the website wanted me to remember my password. I gotta have a password to place an order??? Makes no sense and I can't find that I ever wrote one down from the first order.

No sweat, says I can order without a password..cool...then the website chandges its mind and says I need the password to place the order...but says its probably already sent my password to my email.

Well, it was optimistic...no password in the email...wait and wait and wait...nada...finally start hacking. Finally hacked into the password I apparently used a few months ago and didn't write down where I could find it again. Took about 45 minutes to place the order...

Its only $170 and change....probably peanuts to them...gonna be interesting to see what happens. I did include a request in the notes section for the VP James to please answer my email of 10/2...

But damn...a healthy person doesn't do this...they just walk away....and I did it knowing full well I'm gonna have to launder the cigarette smoke out of everything whenever it arrives...if I haven't made their "black list" which the only reason I can figure for the customer "no-service" to date.

I think any shrink could easily diagnose me as both addicted and a masochist.

Which reminds me... Sadist and masochist walking down the street. Masochist to Sadist: "Beat me, beat me." Sadist to masochist: "No way."

Think I'll go slip on a kilt, assume the fetal position, and suck my thumb while I wait for some sign of life from the Sportkilt people....

Man I thought I had it bad, - "You definately got some real issues dude".

Thanks for the heads up to stay away from that company..

Let us know what you think of thier kilt hose. By thier description, they sound a lot like soccer or football socks. The price certainly is good, though.

I quit ordering from Sportkilt a long time ago. They got some kinda attitude

**mcnice** · 15th October 04, 06:18 AM

but then they got such a professional looking website...
reality and fiction in virtual world again

Well, SportKilt may be unresponsive to my emails, even when they're buying inquiries...they sure do hop on orders.

Just got a notice from the air freight company that they're sending me a package today...no clue if its the whole order, or just part. We'll see...next day shipping....not bad...course the sox and flashes and suppose even the SportKilt are off the shelf.

Still, no jonesing is nice...

I recently ordered, on-line, a couple of pairs of their hose, just to try. Also, they list them in brown which I have been hoping to find for some time, but without success.

Within a day or two, I had an E-mail from them pointing out that the DHL shipping charge would be several times the value of the order and that I might like to have them use snail mail instead.

I thought that was not bad service for a very small, International order. Naturally, I opted for the snail-mail service and will have to wait up to eight weeks for delivery. I wonder if the hose will stink of cigarette smoke?!!

Couple points which MAY not sit well with some... but's that's just too d_mned tough.

1). The "Kilt Socks" from SportKilt are indeed Soccer (football) socks. If you're looking for Kilt Hose at a GREAT price, try USAKilts. They get their stock from the UK, and the quality is GREAT! I can highly recommend the Piper's Hose, as that's all I wear anymore.

2). REMEMBER, that SportKilt is in California. While at USAKilts (in the early days) we dealt with SportKilt as a vendor. They tend to display the typical California laid-back attitude on EVERYTHING. It drove us NUTS!! Great attitude to have while on the beach... LOWSY attitude to have in business!

3). For basically the same money, there are a few companies that have FAR SUPERIOR kilts available, and with little "Jonesing time". I once owned a SportKilt, but have since seen the light.
