I bought some GoLite gear back in Nov. and it had a mail in card for a free small GoLite Stow Sack attached.
I mailed it in and so far, no stow sack.
Anyone else do this and have you got yours?

I've been doing some 'back & forth' with them by email, trying to locate an item of theirs, up here. They've been fairly helpful and quick to respond. Try sending a note.

I got mine but only after a couple of months. Maybe even longer, I just remember it being a long time. I had actually forgotten about it so it was a nice surprise when I got it. My advice: forget about it.

I got mine last summer too. I think that it took a couple of months. The stow sack that you get (hopefully) is xtra small in size.

I emailed GoLite and this is the response
Thanks for your interest in GoLite!!

I apologize for the delay. We are actually back ordered on all our xs stow
sacks due to the overwhelming amount of warranty cards that we have been
sent. We will be getting another shipment around the end of February, and
when we do we will be sending out the free stow sacks as we go through the
warranty cards.

Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Chad

Guess what? My free stow sack was in my mailbox today. Only 8-9 months after I sent for it!
At least GoLite followed thru.

Great Googly Moogly!

That took a while. At least you got it.

Gear is good. Free gear is better.

That really is absurd. What's the point - waiting that long builds more ill will than a free bag. Weird customer treatment.

What A Crock Of Chit
I got my Golite Tarp the last day of July and sent in the card to receive my FREE sil-nylon stuffsac.

Well, it's been over 4 months now (now that I remembered this) and NO stuff sac.

They shouldn't've even made the offer if they weren't going to hold up to their word. I'm sending them an Email before the days through.

Hey..............They Offered It.
...and I'm going to burn my tarp and recant everything good I ever said about Golite.

...all for a freakin' xs stuffsac. lol

Binks is the man to get the stuff sacks from! His Silsacks are like almost half what Golite's are. I think Campmor has them too.

Buddur the man, don't despair!
They only took about 11 months to ship me mine, but I did get it! ;)
Still, it's #$%^%$@^ service.

I sent a card in this week, but if I saw this thread, I wouldn't have even bothered. I really don't need another stuff sack anyway since I've got a bag full and more than I even use.

Same here. Sent mine in over a year ago and still no sack.

I think if they can't deliver on a promise in a reasonable amount of time then they shouldn't make the offer at all. There will be a certain amount of customers that would have purchased another Golite product, but may not because of something like this.

I was't real happy with the backpack and rain pants I bought from Golite, so I guess that's the biggest reason I won't buy again.

Rather than mail them, why don't I give them to CMB at the Savage Gulf trip and he can give them to you next time y'all hike?

Yahoo..............My Stuffsac Arrived
Guess what I got in the mail this weekend?

































And all it took was a kind-worded Email inquireing about the offer and the delay on shipment.

I finally received my free stuffsack from Golite after 6 months. It's a blue, extra small silnylon model maybe 6"X5". It's too small for most things, but kind of cute.

I never got mine. I don't think I ever will get it considering I bought the pack back in Sept. of '02.

Oh, yea, I meant to post that I got mine last week. It also took 6 months.

Lumberzac, You aren't missing out on anything. This stuff sack is so small it could be included in the Barbie and Ken camping set.

man, I'd forgotten I was supposed to get one, too.
I think it's been over a year and a half now. No mini-bag for me!!

When it comes to gear, it's all about the "cute" factor. I simply won't use it unless it's cute. Period.
