SBT Cyber Monday...sigh....

[Strizzo]

Right about now I am real pissed considering I planned on coming home after working a lot of OT and order another seadoo cover onl to be surprised that the covers for my ski are no longer there. They were on here hours earlier,but I could not purchase while at work. Now I am stuck with not getting a cover and I refuse to buy a Unniversal Cover :rant::rant::rant:

Im in the same boat, emailed poppy to see about a discount and got a code for $5 off per cover so decided to go with the wcss covers only to discover the same thing.

speaking of maintainers, DO NOT buy one of these POS's I bought three of them a few years ago & put them on a few toys I have. Come spring time, all three had the trouble light blinking on them. They boiled the batteries away to nothing. I was not happy. They might be ok for the short term, but they are not good for long term use. Model # SEM-1562A

Had the exact one for my motorcycle. Worked great when I had it. Bought another one when I sold my bike. Use it on my skis, and S2000. Works great for me.

I emailed Stephanie, but I dont expect a reply tonight. Im actually really pissed because it was my first task to do when I came home and there isnt none left. like really? especialy cause mine is a uncommon cover for a gts, they must only have 5 in stock !

did you order the Unniversal cover for bigger 2 seaters or 3 seaters ?

The $5 coupon is on their website. Did you talk to Tammie. usually she gives SDF members something extra off.

Here is my other maintainer. Looks identical, even made by shumacher as well. Part number is a SE-1562A, rather than the newer version SEM-1562A. Notice on the front it says with "float mode" ?? I think thats the difference, the newer version doesn't have float mode, its just stays in "boil your battery" mode

these two chargers are completely different animals.

i had a universal cover that came with my xp, and just barely fits, it would probably be ok if not for the touring seat, but it's not going to blow off in the garage and it will keep the dust off just fine, so i just ordered the WCSS one for my xp.

the cover for your ski actually fits a lot of years/models. it fits 92-95 GTX, 92-00 GTS, and the 96 GTI

I emailed Terri, the coupon on the website is for $5 off your order, the code she sent me (FACEBOOK) she said will take $5 off each cover.

Hey Strizzo and Mcarp,
I guess we are in the same boat regarding the covers. I received an email from Stephanie a few hours ago saying that the $69 cover for my 95 GTX was unavailable. I was given the choice to keep it on back order until next spring, cancel the order or buy the more expensive custom cover, with a $40 credit on the price. Since I am unsure of the quality of their covers I was willing to risk $69 but not $109.

I have bought from SBT before and am satisfied with the product and service I received at that time, but somehow I am feeling like a "bait and switch" has been pulled in this instance. Anyone else feel this way or should I just blow it off?

Thanks,

Robert

i don't think its a bait and switch, their site is just set up to pull the items once they sell out, obviously they won't have any more in stock until the spring, so even a rain check is going to take a long time to get. I would only call that into question if they were to start selling them again next week at full price while yours is on backorder for the lower price. in my case, i'll make due since the skis aren't stored outside and i have a cheapo universal cover that will keep the dust off my gtx this winter.

Strizzo,

I did place an order for my cover and got an order number, so it "should" have been in stock. I then got Stephanie's email, and was then given an option to buy a more expensive cover. Either way I am going to cancel the order.

Thanks Robert

Ok so what was the answer she gave you? I emailed " info@watercraftsuperstore. Com " and never received a reply and I emailed them last night.

I don't see why they just can't sell a custom cover just in the standard grey and black like the regular one comes with for the same price .

Basically she said I am going to have to shop elsewhere if I want a cover for my GTX. In the first email she said I had 3 choices, stay on back order until next spring, order the more expensive cover for $149 w/ a $40 credit or cancel the order.

I cancelled the order.

Try ebay, lots of cover options, OEM and after market...

The OEM ones are by FAR the best of the best, but so is their price tag...

I've fairly happy with most of my after market ones... I need a GSX one, but I'm in no rush, I have an old GTX one I use for it.


Also, the OEM ones look bangin'...



This is actually under yet another cover that was from the Jeep I sold a year or so ago.

Yeah , this is the only bad experience I've had with WCSS. I am a little sour about this because I specifically waited for these to on sale which she told me in a email Thursday night and I didn't even get one. I'm real skeptics about ordering a Unniversal for $49.99

The ad states no "rainchecks" and no "substitutions" yet they offered them seems more than fair to me. The add also states "while supplies last" Showing up late to the game is not their fault. SBT/WCSS has always been very fair in their business practices in my experience.
