I made a mistake last autumn. I hope that by giving these emails for everyone to read someone could avoid the same mistake.
I dont have all the messages I've sent via Matter's webpages here. But I think you can have a fair idea of the matter from these emails...

Title: Wrong colours in my new suit
I sent you a message over a week ago and haven't got an answer yet. I'm in a bit of a
hurry and would like to know how you are going to compensate the error you made when
manufacturing my new suit.
I ordered a pro concept freefly suit from you about a month ago. I got it about 1,5 weeks
ago. It was otherwise ok, but the colours weren't the ones I ordered; I ordered it with
orange lycras and got it with white ones.
I ordered the suit from you because you promised to get it to me before 16.12. and I
probably am not going to get it back in time if i send it to you for fixing now? What if
I send it back for fixing after my trip to Florida in January? Then it wouldn't be unused
anymore but when its just a fixing of your mistake it shouldn't matter? Or would it be
better for you to send me those orange lycra parts so that I can get a local manufacturer
to fix the error (and get some money compensation also because it's not going to be
cheap) or am I just going to get a fair amount of the payment back?
I would appreciate an prompt answer.
Thanks,
Rosa

Title: Re: Wrong colours in my new suit
Hello,
Sorry for late answer, but our production manager was on holiday.
We have checked your order and indeed, the lycra color is probably a mistake during
production process.
We suggest you to keep the suit and use it this winter, we will redo ot replace it when
you are taking a break, is this ok.
The suit is probably "jumpable" in the meantime :)

Title: Re: Wrong colours in my new suit
Hi,
I have now returned home from Florida. The suit was great to jump with.
There were just a couple of small problems with it. The left cuff started to unravel a
bit starting from the seam after approximately 15 jumps and the brodeering on the right
leg lost 2,5 letters in about 20 jumps (It doesn't say Matter anymore, nowadays it is
Mer). After that the unraveling ended and nothing broke up anymore. But even if the
colours would have been the right ones, I may have been sending it back anyway because a
suit shouldn't probably be breaking up in 20 normal jumps with nice and normal landings.
In total I did about 70 jumps with the suit and it flew nicely. So there wasn't really
any functional problems :-)
Is this the right address I should send the suit to?:
Matter Airwear
APT 372
17487 Empuriabrava

Title: feedback
Hello Rosa,
Thank you very much for your pictures, they are very useful.
regarding the lycra at the wrists, it is probably an issue with the fabric itself
but not with the construction of the suit.
the embroidery is a problem with our industrial machine, but we fixed it.
anyway, we will have a meeting on monday with our factory management
and see what happened, in the meantime, please, do ship your suit back at this address:
MATTER

Hi,
I sent the suit back almost 2 months ago. Can I have an estimate on how soon I'll get my
suit? The season has started and it would be really nice to jump with a good suit :-)
And for the shipping you should know that I'm moving next weekend. So if you haven't sent
it yet, it would be easiest if you could send it to my new address:
Laureuksenkatu 10 as 21

I haven't received the suit.
Can I finally get it?
It has been almost 5 months since I sent the wrong one back.
I'm starting to feel that I'm obliged to warn fellow skydivers about ordering from you.
And if you can't possibly manufacture jump suits anymore I want my money back. I'm going
to consult my credit company in a week if you can't make me the suit I paid for almost 8
months ago.

Title: Re: Shipping and address
When will I get it then?
Im still worried because you promised me this same thing over a month ago and nothing has
happened since.
So is something really going to happen this time or must I finally contact my credit
company and get my money back??
My skydiving buddies have been saying for a while that i should have done it ages ago
because if I wouldn't have waited this long I would have got a new suit ages ago from
somewhere else.
I think it's not unfair to say that 5 months is not a reasonable time.

You have said that you have sent my new suit 27.4.
Then you said that postal services have probably lost that one and you promised to make
me a new one 20.5.
Then you said that you would make me a new one 17. 6. and send it express certified.
Although you probably think I'm stupid because I have been too patient with this thing
I'm not stupid enough to believe all this. Even though you would use lame donkeys to do
your deliveries at least the two first ones would be here anyway.

And nothing has happened since.
I just made an official reclamation.
And for the record I haven't ever lost a package sent via finnish post. I dont know about spanish postal services but I dont think that they could be as unreliable as that.
Now I just want a good freefly suit. Does anyone have an idea where I could get one in a reasonable time?
