scottjaco 0 #26 November 30, 2003 Tell me about it! Javlin raised their prices from $1,699 to $1,899 in this years ParaGear catalog. That is so lame! with all the compaints I'm hearing about the 6 month delays. Why would they charge extra for a Kill line? Get the Vodoo from R.I. it has all the options included in the price! as a result, it is much cheaper and in my opinion, a better rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottjaco 0 #28 November 30, 2003 OK, I like the Javlin Odessey but I think these containers are getting just a little too popular and perhaps a little over rated. I've used one before, It was OK but it didn't re define the sport of skydiving. scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paige 0 #29 November 30, 2003 I ordered pants and she said it would take 10 weeks. It has been over that time frame but she assured me they would be arriving Dec. 4th. So keep your fingers crossed, she is really busy but always willing to talk over the phone to ease any order worries you may have. Everyone I know has loved their suits, pants, etc. so they should be a real treat when the arrive. Everyone says they are well worth the wait!Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottjaco 0 #30 December 1, 2003 I hope so, the one bad thing about the sport of skydiving is that there just aren't that many people doing it. As a result, Firefly is running a very small operation, or in a garage! I wish they hadn't moved to Iowa! I live in LA, I could have just driven down to Venice to pick my Pants up! I wonder why they moved from a big city to bumfuck Iowa? does anyone know the answer to this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those residents, as you know, now include the fine folks at Firefly. Quotedoes anyone know the answer to this?

BlackholeSon 0 #32 December 1, 2003 I wonder how close they are to Fort Dodge? Couch Freaks! edited to add: I'm guessing the 515 area code is near Ames, Iowa.

Nelson 0 #33 December 12, 2003 Hey dudes, I will travel to Florida in April. So does anyone know a dealer of firefly located there? It would be much more cheaper if I could pick up such a wonderful looking suit during my holidays. Firefly don't answer my emails... [email] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveNFlorida 0 #37 December 13, 2003 I e-mailed the Firefly about 2 weeks ago and never got a reply. I've decided to find another place to get ff pants. Unfortunate that this is the case, I heard some great things about their stuff on here, and really wanted a pair of ff pants from them. I refuse to harrass someone to take my $$, tho. Angela.

PhreeZone 20 #38 December 13, 2003 Guess what... I've sent emails to 3 major rig manufactors in the last month and the fastest I got a reply was 6 days. I'm still waiting on one company get back to on an email I sent Wednesday and I gave up getting a reply from the one. As soon as I picked up the phone and called the companies I got a rapid reply and they answered my questions or promised to follow up the emails with answers if they could'nt answer them on the phone. Call Sherri and talk to her. I used to have email delays of 3 or 4 weeks with her but never more then a day or two on the phone. Not every company has enough resourses to put someone infront of a computer all day to reply to emails as soon as they come in. With the smaller compaines I give them 2 weeks with out even batting an eye to reply to emails simply since I know how busy life can get at times.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nelson 0 #39 December 13, 2003 Hi -jp- skydivers world is a small world Like you see I am on a great shopping tour...

GraficO 0 #40 December 16, 2003 QuoteUPDATE:::: I'll post photos when they get here... my exquisite Firefly 4-Piece suits! GraficO PS... definately worth the wait! You can't rush perfection! It's been a little while but I did get my bootie pant when she said they'd be here.... just haven't had the time to post a photo... so..... Here it is. Yes the chromy flags on the legs and arms match my rig main flap... Purty eh? ALSO... talked to Ms. Firefly today again... she's almost caught up... maybe 3-4 days behind schedule. Good news for all of you with suits pending! She says she apologizes for the delays but she has been sewing her brain out to get caught up! Have no fear you will get your suits and you will love them as much as I love mine! GraficOGraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TALONSKY 0 #42 March 17, 2004 Well so far it has been 10 weeks since I placed my order and they have started on them but are not finished with them yet. So I would gues lead time is somewhere around 10-12 weeks Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
