Todays let down

[hazard]

Last Wednesday I went to the local stihl dealer and order some stihl summer protective pants. The guy I dealt with said they should be in early this week. I called today and I was told they were on back order. It kind of ruined my week. I was looking forward to trying them on. Just my little rant.

Oh, man, thats normal. I order crap form my local "dealer", and they say, "it will be in Friday". Uh huh. Ordered dual spike setup for my 044 3 weeks ago and still isnt in as of today. I love Stihl saws, but their dealer networking selection process needs to be screened and monitored better. I apologize to all of you Stihl dealers out there that have your business in order. Sure wish I had that here! Husqvarna dealers are no different here, either.

That sucks! My dealer always has my order in a couple days.

The factory that produces most of Stihl protective clothing was destroyed in flooding. For most of the last 6 months most of the chaps have been on back order. Now NES only has 2 different pair available. And in general we've had ALOT more back orders this year than in previous years. Hell I had a MS361 back ordered for a couple days this week.

Actually it was destroyed by fire. They are operational though, but it has been slow getting in protective apparel.

Yes, they are great to deal with. I don't get up there much, but when I did they were great to deal with.

same

thing happened to me i canceled order and got them from labonville, glad i did not only are they quality chaps i ordered the 44'' and fit perfect stihls only went to 40''

 

[Urbicide]

Why don't you check out Labonville? They are great folks to deal with. They manufacture their own protective clothing, which btw, is top quality. They are also AS sponsors.

I am still kind of down since I haven't gotten my pants yet. But on positive note I did win bids on ebay for a 25" bar and a 36" bar. Stihl bars and chains for both.

ps I really like the picture on the truck window. Where can you find one of those. I bought a couple of 2"x9" stihl stickers for the truck but I would say the picture is much better.

Sorry, can't take credit for that one.

I designed and cut it myself, I have a vinyl cutter.

The other day somebody sent me a PM asking about my chaps. I went to Labonville's web page to get the link to them (competition model) and the base price for 32" was $98.95, when last I knew it had been $73.95. Kinda a let down there, but at least they are still available. Would have been a much bigger letdown if I hadn't already purchased mine at the old price
