Nicolas Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hello, I have just one question on WindPowerSports shop... Is it reputable ? I ordered my rev 1.5SLE from them 3 days ago. Corey from WPS told me he had the color on stock and will sent it to me ASAP. But now, I have just received this email from him. Nic,I had your kite put aside ready to ship. Yesterday when I went to pack it, it wasn't there. I can only assume someone sold it while I wasn't looking. I've already contacted Rev and another is on the way. I am quite embarrassed. I apologize for the delay. Corey Do you think this is OK ? Thanks for your "help". Nicolas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 No problem... Aside from the delay. I've known Corey for 15+ years, and he will take care of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguekiter Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hello Nicolas, While I have never made a purchase from WindPowerSports, I have met Corey Jensen when he was an announcer in years past at WSIKF (Washington State International Kite Festival). Corey has been involved in kiting for over 20 years and in kite sales for at least 7 years to my knowledge. From what I know of him, I would consider him highly reputable, and no, I'm not saying this because we share the same last name! Sit tight, I think Corey's email was totally sincere and honest.

Nicolas Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hope that's you are right John (Where did you get this information ?) I have just received a refund for a non avalaible parts from windpowersports. But I'm still waiting for some news from corey.

John Barresi Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I got an email from Corey himself. He and I have been friends for roughly 16 years. I would imagine the refund is for an extra item that was not available... Or, perhaps for the delay... I really don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hello, I have just one question on WindPowerSports shop... Is it reputable ? I ordered my rev 1.5SLE from them 3 days ago. Corey from WPS told me he had the color on stock and will sent it to me ASAP. But now, I have just received this email from him. Nic,I had your kite put aside ready to ship. Yesterday when I went to pack it, it wasn't there. I can only assume someone sold it while I wasn't looking. I've already contacted Rev and another is on the way. I am quite embarrassed. I apologize for the delay. Corey Do you think this is OK ? Thanks for your "help". Nicolas Is anybody else waiting for kites from this shop. I placed an order for my first Rev 1.5 SLE nearly 18 weeks ago. After no sign of the kite after 6 - 7 weeks, I started sending emails. I got a reply stating that there was an employee problems and that my kite would be posted out immediately. I've waited another 5-6 weeks and still no sign. I've been sending emails for the last 2 weeks, and all I get when I phone is an answering machine. I've placed other orders with several other shops in the USA using USPS Express delivery. I received tracking comfirmation both from USPS directly, and the retailers. All goods arrived within 5-7 working days. The order I placed with windpowersports was also for USPS Express delivery. I've received no tracking information whatsoever. I've seen a post on the revolution forum by someone who had difficulties with windpowersports with a delivery back around April/May, the reason given was that there was a backlog problem. If this is the situation with my order, then I think I should have been notified of the expected delay and given the option to cancel the order. I am now awaiting a refund. I will let you know how I get on. Regards, Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Mick Just "Google up" COREY JENSEN" and over the years he has been Nuttin' but the best for so many of us here in the kiting community...and with that in mind, hopefully...I am certain Cory will make every effort to corrrect that problem. Corey to some folks may appear to be a "Wild-n-krazeeeee Guy" but always has every kiters best interests at heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi all, Just managed to get hold of Corey, he now tells me he was waiting for my colour choice to come in. Kite is being posted by USPS express as originally requested, so hopefully I'll have it within 2 weeks. Regards, Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
