Sage Repairs

[126barnes]

I'm after hearing that the repairs/replacment take some time to complete and that you may be out of commish. for up to six weeks. So instead of sending my rod to Sage, I just bought a new tip (suspect most brakages are tips) over the phone through their spare tip program. Cost was $50 (4pc Launch) just like the repair and I received it two weeks after purchase.

Do both, you have a then have a spare tip. Or is that what your doing?

Sage Launch 4 pc cost $200.

 

Tip cost you $50 (butt, with all the expensive components, cost ???). Sage has a good scam going there.

I agree, not much of a deal on the lower end rods............but what do you do.................fish a $250 launch or store a $200 graphite stick. I'm just happy I didn't have to wait 6 weeks.

I should try this approach:

 

Sage rep: Thank you for calling Sage, how can I help you?

Me: mmmm, I broke a couple of pieces of my rod

Sage rep: oh that's too bad, we can mail you a couple of replacement pieces at $50 each. What model is it?

Me: it's a Z-Axis, 4 piece 590, I broke the top two pieces, so that will be $ 100 right?

Sage rep: that is correct, will do.

 

Two day later, another call to Sage:

Sage rep: Thank you for calling Sage, how can I help you?

Me: mmmmmmmmm, I broke a couple of pieces of my rod

Sage rep: oh, that's too bad, we can mail you the replacement pieces at $ 50 each. What model is it?

Me: It's a Sage Z-Axis, 4 piece 590, I broke the bottom two pieces, so that will be $100 right?

Sage rep: that is correct, will do.

 

Muaaaaaaaahahahahahaha !!!!!!!!!

 

Somehow I don't think this would work, but the wobbly pops are making me think weird stuff tonight. Thought I's share it with you

HEY! That's genius!

[headscan]

That's probably why they make you mail in the broken pieces with the serial number...
