26 April 22 - My daughter, Dakota, has began her skydiving career and has started to buy her…read morepersonal gear. She quickly developed a personal relationship with all of the staff at Chutingstar. Laura provided recommendations for both her Pulse 210 and Javelin Odyssey container. Most would have just ordered what was checked on the order form. Laura called Dakota and made suggestions based on her size and height. Henry helped Dakota pick out her full face helmet. He must have pulled out six or seven different helmets for Dakota to try on before she decided on a Cookie. Big Steve is her personal rigger and quick with expert advice at the Monroe Drop-zone. If you are looking for a professional organization to supply your skydiving needs, call or drop by Chutingstar. They have my business and gratitude.

Where do I even start? ChutingStar has been giving every one of their customers their undivided…read moreattention and complete respect for so many years, it's no wonder they have a reputation for having really great customer service. I've traveled to a few places around Europe, the Middle East and across the United States and have seen their stickers and catalogs everywhere I go. Purchases don't always go perfectly, especially when you order online, but when this happened to me I've had no issue exchanging something for what I really needed and never had any hassle whatsoever from the company even though I had taken the item out of the box. I recommend ChutingStar for anything and everything rigging or skydiving related with no hesitation. I've ordered so much from them I couldn't even begin to name it all and even living in Hawaii got items delivered super fast. 5 out of 5 and then some.

What could and should be a great local skate shop has face planted into the gravel…read more I walked into Swift Wheels expecting to see young hip kids behind the counter eager to share their endless pit of skater knowledge. I was expecting to be offered help at the vary lest. I had expected too much. Instead I stood and stared at the walls blankly waiting for anyone to help. I could see a figure of some child-in-charge sitting on a counter top in a back room, eating. After wondering the shop aimlessly and un-helped for a solid 15 minutes I decided to leave. Maybe he couldn't see me because he was just far enough behind a wall that he couldn't see when and if any patrons had entered the building. Maybe he didn't hear the door chime because he was blaring a radio. You would think that being conveniently located across from a FREE skate park they would have their act together. Sadly this is not the case. Because of the lack of customer service I will never shop there again... well shop there for a first time... if I can get helped.

Periodically, reduced racks are discounted an additional 40%. Today was my lucky day. A sale that…read morewas slated to end December 3rd is extended five days. Like most discounters, you have to sort through what's there. If they have your size and color, great. If not, oh well. With their no return policy on mark-downs, be sure of your purchase. My friend had to forego a lovely dolman sleeve sweater, a bargain at $6 .... But not with the hole she detected when she tried it on. I spent $49 for a shopping bag-full of clothing and hair styling products I normally purchase at full price. If you're on a budget, flexible with what you'd buy for those on your gift list, head down to 'The Rack' before December 8th. You never know what'll you'll find.
