* Sending skis back to the factory *

[.hazen.]

so i just landed shitty on a five today at stratton, and the heel piece of my binding just ripped out of the core of the ski.

what do i do? i just found the nearest fischer dealer in latham, and i'll drop them off there tomorrow or tonight, but what are my chances of getting new skis?

they were 06/07 fischer addicts, which sucks bc i'd had maybe 15 days on them tops. i also bought them off a dude on ebay, how would this affect warranty? thanks for any help

 

[jKutcher]

i dont know that they will warrenty for a binding ripping out. sounds more like the shop that mounted ems fault

 

[Fish_Sandwich.]

Ya seems more like a problem with the mounting. Got any pics or anything?

 

[chickenwang]

if a shop mounted them then they should be liable

 

[fillup]

if its not a manufacturing defect there is nothing they are going to do

 

[.hazen.]

if i bring them back to my shop at home (im at college now) they're gonna have to be the ones who some how hook me up? im scared im gonna get fucked here

 

[T*Ski]

if you take them back to the shop and tell them what happened im almost posative that they will hook you up!

 

[doublexl]

ya the shop should have no prob hookin you back up. hope you get some new boards.

 

[.hazen.]

i didnt buy the boards there though - just got them mounted. should that make a difference? you're giving me hope though

 

[schmies]

Ski company should warrenty that, not the shop.

 

[s.jeff]

youll be fine

Fuck all of you kids who ski hard on you stuff in the park then break it and want new skis. That's not how things work. The skis won't be covered under warranty. The shop isn't liable unless they mounted the bindings improperly which is next to impossible to prove now that you have ripped the binding out. What the shop may do is remount the skis for free and if not it's still pretty much your only option. I tore a heelpiece out last spring but in my case the shop was responsible because one of the holes wasn't drilled deep enough causing the screw to back out and eventually rip out. They remounted the heel for free and that was it. So quit complaining and go get the skis remounted.

since u bought them off ebay, and you dont have the original recipt, you might be screwed. but ya never know.

Sorry to be a pessimist but I've ripped heel pieces out twice and both times I got nothing. it sucks but they just assume tht it is your fault and sadly a lot of times it is. Good luck but most likely they will just heli coil it back in or re-mount in a different position.
