After delivering the wrong skis to us yesterday we had the pleasure of recieving THE WORST customer service imaginable from the GoldStock Sporting Goods "internet sales" coordinator. My wife was, literally, shaking with anger after getting off of the phone with this particular salesman. How a business can survive with such condescending employees is beyond me. My wife and I have worked in retail for the past 15 years and have never seen such treatment of a paying customer. I never thought I would be one of those people to write a letter to the owner but a certified piece of my mind will be dropped in the mail this afternoon. Please beware of this company and do your research before spending your hard earned money with a smaller company. After further investigation we realized that this business's reviews reflected very similar experiences to what we went through.
Pray for Snow!!

EDIT - After calming down a bit and reasoning with some comments you guys have made, I decided to change the name of this thread to reflect my true problem with this establishment. I realize I shouldn't take my frustrations out on an entire business from an interaction with one of their employees.

Sorry about your experience...did you put the purchase on a credit card? Were you able to cancel the sale and get a refund?

I hope AZ doesn't get know as a place where people can back up the truck and dump on ski shoppes...

Sorry guys! Just figured this would be the best place????

JerseyRob....

Don't start with the PMs... Email sent... It's not cool to just dump on ski shoppes like this... I'm for letting the business come here and give their side of the story...

It's only fair... I see a couple bad reviews... But I see some great reviews... Why not let them tell it the way they see it...

why not just post a bad review where you saw the reviews...?

Your obviously trying to reach the masses and give this place a bad rap

Should they not get a bad rap for such bad customer service?

And YES I'm trying to reach the masses!!!

And....since you won't answer a private message......I'll ask you here to please not interfere yet since we were threatened by an employee that he had our credit card information!!!

Thanks DMC!!!

I usually ignore threads I don't agree with. If someone had a bad experience with a shoppe (sic) I take note.
