$340 total. Called the credit card company and they are investigating things. Said they would credit my account in a few weeks. Needlessness to say, will be going with another vendor. There's another 6 weeks!

Placed an order with Zute Sute several months ago and am still waiting - even after paying for the "rush" order. Numerous attempts to contact the owner (home business) are/were futile. Even drove over to Cudahy, WI to stop by to check out the progress of the suit but the owner said she wouldn't be around - running errands. Prior to flying out to Eloy, sent another message and said that I needed it by Dec 6th. Owner sent an email back and said she shipped it to manifest. Manifest never received it. Further communications haven't been returned. Caveat emptor - Latin for let the buyer beware I am aware now and will not do business with Zute Sute again. If you do, check others first!

Hard 90 Off Heading Opening on my Sabre 2
propofol65 replied to Inthebuff's topic in Gear and Rigging
I purchased a new Sabre2 190 a few weeks ago and only have a few jumps on it. I read the directions for packing provided by PD. It calls for rolling the nose. I haven't had any off headings or hard openings thus far. I jumped a Hornet 190 and had several hard openings and off headings, but I just shoved the nose (didn't have the instructions from PISA). -
Actually, my friend needed 3 things signed off on her card. I believe they were tracking, docking and then a swoop and dock. She had already done several coach jumps. She wanted to do the remaining jumps to sign off the card and then to do some solo jumps (of which they wouldn't allow her to do) to finish up her totals to be eligible for the check dive. She completed more than 8 "coached" jumps. It's disheartening thinking you head out on a minivacation to spend a certain amount of $$ to finish you requirements and end up spending 3x as much. I'm inquiring on what other AFF or AFP programs would do in this situation.

Flew out Eloy a few weeks ago with a friend that needed a few things signed off on her proficiency card. Her goal was to get a coach and have the yellow card completed. She was already signed off for solo self-supervision. The school there would not honor her card and complete the needed requirements. They required her to go through their entire coach program (several more than needed). Of course she was dissapointed, not to mention the extra costs of doing 4 more jumps than needed. Is this the norm for most AFF schools or is this an isolated case? I can understand the safety issue for letting unfamiliar students jump at a DZ, but man, this sounds like a little gouging. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
