New York 2011: Subaru looking at XV Concept for US, but wouldn't be called Outback Sport
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Apr 21st, 2011 at 3:20PM
At the 2011 New York Auto Show, we asked Dominic Infante, Subaru's U.S. product manager, about the XV Concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show. "It's probably not for us," he said, "but we're looking at it. And if it did come, it probably wouldn't be called Outback Sport." That's because the Outback Sport is an anomaly in Subaru's U.S. line-up that the brand's marketing arm would like to correct – an Outback in name only, it is actually based on the Impreza platform. But it sells so well, Infante says, "that the sales guys don't want them to change anything. They're like,... Read More

Some children's diseases and conditions are caused by inherited genes that aren't functioning quite right. All organisms have genes linked to different traits, such as eye color, or limbs, or blood type, and are based on heredity.
That's why our Center for Genetic Medicine Research is working to harness emerging technologies for genetic analysis, and study of proteins, a vital part of organisms. The idea is to have science be useful for practical applications that can help the health of children and their well-being. The center emphases what is known as translational research, from the lab or "bench" to the patient's bedside.
Researchers at the Center for Genetic Medicine Research conduct basic and clinical research into some of childhood's most well-known genetic disorders, including asthma, and lung disease, diabetes, obesity and others. Almost all of the Center's programs include basic clinical and or community research, including studies of well-known genetic disorders including:
At the Center for Genetic Medicine Research, scientists and faculty stress open, collaborative, multidisciplinary research. The center was founded in 1999.
We are always making an effort to better understand diseases and improve care for children. As part of that effort, investigators at the Center are recruiting volunteers for research studies on specific disorders linked to genetics.
In an effort to better understand diseases and improve care for children, investigators at the Center for Genetic Medicine Research recruit volunteers for research studies on specific disorders.

NFPA 30A: Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, 2012 Edition
|Item # 30A12
|Member *
|Table of Contents
|Quantity Discounts
Improve fire safety in service stations and repair facilities with the critical guidelines outlined in the 2012 edition of NFPA 30A.
Service stations dispensing flammable fuels can avoid serious hazards only by adhering to specialized guidelines. The 2012 NFPA 30A: Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages provides the latest rules for piping, fuel dispensing systems, service stations inside buildings, and operations for retail fuel dispensing and fleet vehicle fuel dispensing.
Changes in this updated edition include:
- New 6.3.6, Inspection and Maintenance, addresses inspection, maintenance, and repair of fuel dispensing equipment, leak detection equipment, and secondary containment equipment.
- New 18.104.22.168 requires that any modification of the dispensing nozzle be either listed or be approved by the manufacturer of the nozzle.
- Amended Subsection 6.6.1 requires that all dispensing nozzles, except those used for marine fuel dispensing, have a latch-open device.
- New 184.108.40.206 requires that the circuits of gas detection systems required for repair garages be monitored for integrity in accordance with NFPA 72®: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.
- Revised Section 12.5, Specific Requirements for LP-Gas Dispensing Devices, eliminates a conflict with NFPA 58: Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code.
Work safely with revised Chapter 8, Electrical Installations.
Extensively revised and updated, NFPA 30A's Chapter 8 incorporates a new Table 8.3.1 that includes criteria for the Zone system for area classification, a revised drawing that depicts the extent of area classification around fuel dispensing units, and a new diagram depicting the extent of area classification around tank-mounted fuel dispensing units.
Today's NFPA 30A is an essential resource for architects and engineers involved with design and construction of motor fuel dispensing facilities, AHJs and other professionals with oversight/review authority, and facility owners and operators. (Softbound, 40 pp., 2012)

Mark Webber has heaped praise on Adrian Newey, conceding that Red Bull would not have been so successful without the technical guru.
Having designed Championship-winning cars for Williams and McLaren during the 1990s, Newey arrived at Red Bull in 2006 as one of the best in the business and he hasn't disappointed as he has been the brainchild of Sebastian Vettel's Drivers' as well as the Constructors' titles the past three years.
Webber admits that chief technical officer Newey's influence at Red Bull has been a major factor in their rise to the top.
"We need, behind all the smoke and mirrors of a Formula 1 team, to make a racing car as quick as possible to do the business in qualifying and the races," he is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"Adrian never loses sight of that and he's a huge influence.
"You have him beating the drum and generally being a big beacon for the team here in terms of design and philosophy of where the car needs to be. You need that to be successful here.
"And when you start getting some success as well things change so quickly. Things becomes much easier."

Sham Promotion Excludes All Products; Sells Used Products As New
Posted by
Soaring Consumer
SANFORD, FLORIDA -- On March 2, 2014 I was searching different websites for shoes I liked and found one on the DicksSportingGoods.com website. Toward the bottom of the page I saw a box that stated that I could sign up for their email list and receive 10% off my purchase. I received a confirmation email to click a link to follow so that the discount would be applied automatically. Below it was a small notation "exclusions apply" but no further details. When I proceeded to the checkout no discount was applied to my order.
When I called Dick's customer service I was told that the reason the 10% was not applied was because my product was an exclusion. The representative told me to go to the bottom left and click the "Promo Exclusions" link. This is the link:
On this page, it lists practically EVERY SINGLE BRAND OR PRODUCT TYPE that the company sells as an exclusion! Essentially this make their promotional discount offers false advertisements and works of fiction.
As Dick's still had the lowest price on the item I wanted, I went ahead and placed the order. It shipped via UPS Ground and I received it on March 4th. When I opened the box I was absolutely flabbergasted as to what I received, a heavily ravaged, stained and smelly pair of shoes with the pads severely worn down! It was obvious that these were someone else's used pair of shoes.
I called Dick's customer service and they arranged a return label and shipping of a replacement set of shoes. They assured me the new pair would be checked out and the condition would be verified before it shipped out. The new pair arrived on March 6th. These shoes, while obviously in better condition than the first one, still had obvious signs of use, scuff marks, grass stains, flex marks, and no paper packaging. These were obviously not new.
I called Dick's customer service again and they issued another replacement order. On March 8th I received an email stating "At this time we are unable to accommodate a reshipment because this item is out of stock in an appropriate condition" and that once they have received the item back that a refund would be issued back to my credit card. Despite this, Dick's website has continuously indicated every day that it was available in my size in-stock for sale. The email also noted that I would be given a 25% discount off of my next order for the inconvenience.
Through the UPS prepaid return labels, Dick's Sporting Goods received the first bad pair on March 11 and the second one on March 14. After not receiving any confirmation from Dick's regarding the refund to be issued I called Dick's on March 18th and was told that refunds are issued fourteen business days after a return is received and processed, something not stated in the March 8th email. He told me he would escalate the refund request to the credit department but the process takes 1-5 business days and it may not be approved. However fortunately I finally received the refund back to my credit card on March 23.
The customer service representatives were very friendly and helpful to the best of their ability, however I am very disappointed not just because of the blatantly dishonest marketing practices that Dick's employs, but also that they are also are allowing used products to be shipped as substitution for new products, and are continuing to offer said products for sale despite knowing and acknowledging that they are not available in an appropriate condition for sale. This left me without both my money or product for 20 days. Also when I decided to try buying something else, my promised 25% discount was nullified by their infinite exclusion list. I will definitely avoid shopping at Dick's in the future.

No Sweat Protection Plan is a SCAM
Posted by
NATICK, MASSACHUSETTS -- The No Sweat Protection Plan is a money making scam!!!
The salesman convinced me to buy my son $99 sneakers by telling me that "for an extra $11.99" I can get a protection plan that "will cover even normal wear and tear with no hassles." He explained that I'd be able to get another pair of sneakers within a year and therefore I'd get 2 sneakers for the price of 1!!
I NEVER buy warranties ~ ever! But this guy was so convincing, I actually believed him.
Well ~ six months later I attempted to put in a claim. The online claim shows you a drop down menu where you can choose what is wrong with your product. Well, apparently the description I chose was not a valid reason for replacement. So, I tried again, and the 2nd time it rejected me because I had "already submitted a claim within 30 days! " It gave me a phone number to call. So I called. The young lady on the phone was extremely business like and cold. I explained the situation and she said "replacement is only covered for manufacturer defects." I said, "I paid an extra $11.99 for you to tell me that...." I asked her "Wouldn't manufacturer defects be covered anyway?!" She said no. I said, "So, if I didn't pay the $11.99, manufacturer defects are not covered?!!" Then I explained to her what I was told in the store. She told me I should call the store and let the manager. I was getting absolutely no where. I told her my friends would be so happy to hear about my experience... and she said, "that's great... have a nice night!"
I happen to know that they discontinued this "coverage" at Dick's Sporting Goods in Natick, MA. Gee I wonder why!!!
Bad P. R. ?
Bad Service ?
Lying Salesmen?
Thanks for nothing Dick's. Hope you enjoy my $11.99.
I won't be suckered again. I knew it was "too good to be true."

I'm not surprised they didn't honor that warranty. It would have been nice if they refunded your $11.99, but at least they did away with it, probably for the reasons you mentioned.
trmn8r on 05/16/2011:
This sounds like an odd "extended warranty" in the first place - but it isn't like you are getting 2 for 1, it's like getting 2 for 1.2. I agree that you were sold a story by the salesperson. He must have looked at it, and come up with his own way of selling it.
I agree with Venice, it would have been nice for them to refund the $11.99, and it is great that they eliminated this money maker from their offerings.
What was the description that you had hoped would merit replacement?
Bill A on 07/19/2011:
I bought this plan for a pair of $89 Niki's which I wore out the sole after about 6 months of heavy use. I called and told them they were discolored, they sent me a return mailing label, and 3 weeks after I sent the sneakers back I received a Dicks gift card for the full purchase. Frankly it could not have been easier.

I purchased the plan as well and it was great! They refunded the entire cost of my son's running shoes via a gift card that I can use for anything. I had also lost my original receipt and it was no problem. Will definitely purchase the plan again.
HonestForSure on 12/08/2011:
They discontinued the plan on shoes exactly for the reasons of the post. Anything to make an extra buck off of the inwitting consumer. So many other examples - you can buy a "replacement plan" for a pair of binoculars for 1 year. 2 problems here - you're only covered if it doesn't "work, " damage not included, and it already comes with a 1 year warranty. Uh, how will this product "not work" if not damaged?????. On and on, so many deceptions. Sad commentary on the state of retail businesses that offer "plans" such as these.

No Sweat Protection Plan - A Complete Scam
Posted by
CHERRY HILL, NEW JERSEY -- I purchased a Camelbak, which I could not be happier with, & in my travels, the mouthpiece fell off & was nowhere to be found. I called Sweat Protection that, at the time, I felt grateful I had purchased and had been sold to me (I mean, really, really, sugar on top, sold to me) by the Dick's check out staff member. He told me that, while he loves his Camelbak, their bladders can often break from a lot of use & to replace them is quite an expense (compared to the original purchase) and, therefore, I should buy the ~$8 protection plan, which will cover anything needed for the bladder. So, getting back to the lost mouthpieceâ¦I call Sweat Protection regarding my lost mouthpiece & am told that, nope, it doesn't cover lost or stolen parts so, sorry, I am out of luck. Then, a few months later, the bladder breaks (I use it a lot - this is NOT a complaint about Camelbak). I call back again & am told by a Sweat Protection rep, that LO AND BEHOLD, Camelbak itself, has a LIFETIME warranty (which was NEVER mentioned to me by Sweat Protection in my first call), so until their warranty is over (lifetime warranty, mind you), their warranty would not be in effect. Are you kidding me???
Now, I am not one to write a review but this is deception at its worst. Granted, $8 deception, but still, someone is making money off of hardworking people that are trying to quench their thirst. I mean, seriously, why in the world would I buy a protection plan for a product that has a lifetime guarantee?? Oh, maybe because the sales man at Dick's completely mislead me. Anyway, I filed a claim with Camelbak & it couldn't have been a more simple & easy process online. I also call Dick's Sweat Protection & tell them this story &, while the representative "really understands my frustration", they can only refund me back a pro-rated amount upon receiving a written & mailed LETTER along with my original receipt FROM MONTHS ago, which I clearly do not still have. I can go through the process of getting another receipt but, seriously, it was less than $10 (and after being pro-rated, is what? $4?) so I'm certainly not going to jump through these ridiculous hoops for such a minimal amount of money.
So, in the end, I am enormously happy with Camelbak, but will never shop at Dick's again because I think they now lack all credibility and clearly couldn't care less about their customers & care more about $8 than being honest with their patrons.

Hi Jennyc5854,
We issue and manage the No Sweat Protection Plan for Dick's Sporting Goods. It doesn't sound at all like you had a great experience. I can assure you no deception was intended. Our company relies heavily on consumers' word of mouth, so deceiving customers is clearly not something we do.
We want to make things right. Please email your name and the phone number you used to register your Camelbak to email@example.com. We'll have someone look into this and get in touch with you.
Thank you!

For the small price of $8 you learned a valuable lesson: never buy any of these "protection plans" or "extended warranties", etc. They are rarely worth the money. And, as you found out, are just a way for the company and the warranty people to make extra from the sale. Now you know.
trmn8r on 11/16/2013:
I don't believe this is deception. I would guess simple ignorance. I have dealt with some Dick's employees, and there didn't seem to be a lot of hot flame to the candle. I never, ever, buy extended or any other kind of warranty, except I bought a certified preowned car and paid extra for that classification. I made one claim and got about half that premium back.
Pete on 11/16/2013:
I'm not sure if any warranty covers lost parts - that is the buyer's responsibility.

Lifetime Warranty on Walter Hagen Golf Shoes Is a Scam
Posted by
SYRACUSE, NEW YORK -- Dick's ran a "Lifetime Dry Feet Warranty" on Walter Hagen golf shoes. Since I generally play golf in the morning this sounded very intriguing to me, so I went down to the store. I first spoke to the salesman - he verified the story. So I asked what I had to do to get replacement shoes when they leaked. He said "...just bring the receipt and the shoes in and get new ones....for your lifetime....no paperwork". I said, this is too good to believe, can we get the manager to verify that position. He said sure. The manager came over and verified the position. I said sold, I don't care how much they are with that warranty and Dick's and Walter Hagen standing behind it. In the sell mode I believed them.
Needless to say they leaked...I took them back...they gave me new shoes. Then these leaked ... I took them back. Dick's refused to give me replacements. They gave me an address to write to corporate. Corporate verified the position and a cold woman followed up with a phone call.
They then claimed that the warranty was only on the lifetime of the first shoes.
In small claims court Dick's produced a warranty that said the lifetime was for the life of the shoes. But they did not say that warranty was in the store, available to me and in effect when I purchased the shoes. But the ruling went for them.
I found out that Dick's purchased Walter Hagen between the first and the second time that I went for replacement shoes. Surprise ...surprise.
Do we need to get together on a class action suit??

If a warranty is too good to believe, it is. If you think you have a great warranty deal like this, at the time of purchase send a letter, certified return receipt, setting forth what the salepeople told you, your understanding of the warranty and giving the store 20 days to respond if they disagree. Then they will either dispute the warranty right away, or you will have had some evidence in court about what you were told.

Fraudulent And Unethical Business Practices
Posted by
ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA -- I had a horrible experience at Dick's When I made my Black Friday purchase, the cashier told me I had earned a $20 gift card because I had spent $100 or more. Cool! I just had to return on 11/28 to get the gift card. See also said I could return and re-buy the purchase and apply the gift card toward it. When I returned, the manager said the cashier had given us the wrong information (she said it several times to my wife and I when we made the purchase). We had to spend $100 before tax; we spent $99.92 before tax and after coupons. I was furious and they refused to do anything about it or honor their word. After sending out several emails because I could not get a hold of anyone at the corporation, and contacting the Better Business Bureau, the district manager for the San Diego area, John called me. He was very apologetic for the total lack of customer service received and for the inconvenience. He offered me a $50 gift card without me asking, and asked it that would make things right. I happily accepted. He also said that someone from corporate would be contacting me who also got one of my emails, and that they may also do something to remedy the situation. His offer was totally independent of theirs. Their "customer engagement manager" offered me $20. Well... I got the $20 one, but the $50 gift card never arrived, even though John took down my personal information. I email him and rather than him responding, I got an email and call from the person at corporate. She basically said: John spoke too quickly and we cannot send you the $50 gift card, your troubles are not worth that much. I argued with her but she refused to stand by the company's promise. They lied to me again, even when trying to remedy another situation that came about because of their dishonestly! Well, I am alerting the newspaper, using social media, telling the local little league (I am on the board), and everyone I know (you know a lot of people in a city after you father is a city official for 42 years and you're born and raised there) - they will lose far more than $50. Bad business. But, you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
PS - when I called John back to discuss with him, he hung up on me.... Sport Chalet here I come.

Does seem you were given incorrect information. First of all, you didn't spend the 100 to get the 20 gift card to begin with, you were close but that doesn't matter. If you did earn the 20 gift card, you could not return later and return everything and rebuy it and use the gift card to get your items for $80. The purpose of all the gift card deals is to get you back in the store to buy more things with the gift card, you can not use it to pay down the purchase that earned you the gift card in the first place. I don't know why when you called they would give say they would give you a $50 gift card for your trouble and then a $20 gift card. Sometimes clerks give our wrong info but it doesn't mean you're going to get $70 in gift cards for your trouble. You can tell everyone you want but its not going to make a dent in their business. I don't see where you are entitled to anything extra.
trmn8r on 12/08/2011:
I agree with the first post - the concept of "rebuying" is completely foreign to the common sense interpretation that the goal of the gift card of $20 for $100 purchase is to have the customer buy more stuff. Not the same stuff - the cashier was likely way off on that one.
$50 for this sounds extreme to me - I don't know why the district manager offered that either. Yes, you were inconvenienced and their customer service needs some serious tweeking. This reminds me just a little of Dell CSR's promising me time and again during many calls to resolve a problem that they were emailing me a coupon but ultimately I never received a single one.
If this had happened to me, I'd never darken their door again the same way I never intend to do a speck of business with Dell.
CowboyFan on 12/09/2011:
I don't see any indication of fraud, dishonesty, or lying, which makes the OP's position incorrect. The rule is one must spend $100.00 before taxes, this the op did not do. The clerk may have been mistaken, but do we really believe that the company intended to defraud the op? The computer may not allow a gift card if the amount is not enough, regardless of how close.
Likewise, just because someone promises something, does not make it a lie when they subsequently cannot do it for whatever reason. Who hasn't promised to do something they later could not do, that does not make us liars. The op got a $20.00 card which he had not earned since his purchase was under the limit, but he still complains.
Anonymous on 12/09/2011:
Good review! Agree with unhappy and Trm. I've never had a business tell me I could return items and repurchase them to use a promotional discount/gift card earned for spending the $ in the first place.
Sounds to me like this Dick's has no idea what they're doing and you'd be better off taking your business elsewhere. Nothing worse than being told something by a "Manager" only to find out later they were wrong, too.

Dicks Sporting Goods replacement plan is a scam!
Posted by
BRANDON, FLORIDA -- I purchased a "no-hassle replacement plan" for my Minn Kota trolling motor earlier this year. My motor stopped working and I filed a claim with them. I have had a warranty replacement request open for months now and have yet to receive the replacement card. At first they said that the request was lost in the mail and that it would take 30 days for them to stage it as "lost" and could then issue me a replacement card. Once the 30 days passed they said they were going to send it. I received a call a few days later stating that I had to resend them "proof of purchase" again because they had to have proof that I purchased the item (How would I purchase the warranty without purchasing the item?) I ended up sending the 2nd proof of purchase and the UPS tracking system shows it as received on September 27th, 2011. I called today, October 18th, asking where my replacement card was and they said they never received my proof of purchase and they will have to wait the 30 days again to mark it as "lost" to issue me a card and that it would be sent out 10-15 business days after the 30 days are up, as long as I call them again on October 21st to inform them I have not received it. They told me there is no option for them to expedite the time line no matter what the issue. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY HOPE YOU GIVE UP AND THEY NEVER HAVE TO SEND YOU A REPLACEMENT CARD.

Won't Replace My Shoes
Posted by
ALCOA, TENNESSEE -- I coach two of the local high school soccer teams and they gave me a Dick's gift card this past Christmas. I purchased a pair of Asics shoes. They have been great until the other day when I noticed the entire bottom was coming unglued from one shoe. This was 6 months after buying the shoe. They have never been run in, never been wet. They are used for total casual wearing. They look nearly brand new. I called Dick's and asked what to do, they said it was past 90 days so there was nothing they could do. I would have to send the shoes back to the manufacture. Of course that leaves me with no shoes. They said they were sorry, but that was not their problem. I e-mailed the corporate office and got a canned response that did not even deal with my concern. My soccer players spend about $10k with Dick's each year on gear the school does not provide. Guess where I will not send them from now on? The lack of concern or caring makes this the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Don't shop at Dick's. They do not stand behind what they sell.

Don't know why you are upset at Dicks's. You are going to run into this no matter where you buy them,
saj80 on 07/19/2011:
They do stand behind the products they sell, for 90 days. After that, it is a manufacturer issue, not a retailer issue.
SteveWiginowski on 07/19/2011:
It's not that they don't care, it's that they aren't changing their policy from 90 days to 180 days. Did the manufacturer tell you to mail them back and they will replace them, or was that Dick's who told you that?
localgod on 07/19/2011:
Quick lesson: Manufacturer = an entity that manufactures supply for demand. Retailer = an entity that purchases goods from a manufacturer and resells them. The retailer (Dick's in this case) is not responsible for the condition of your worn shoes. Incidentally, 6 months is a good life for a shoe, casual or otherwise. I replace mine every 6 months whether they need it or not. I guess I'll purchase them from Dick's to compensate for the supply/demand void you create with your boycott.
HonestForSure on 07/19/2011:
What's the beef with Dick's? If your Asics wore out quickly, your choice is to not buy Asics next time around; this will eventually hurt Asics if they are not making quality products. On the hand, if it is a true mfr defect, call them and I'm sure you'll get some relief.

Merchandise Credit vs Gift Card
Posted by
My son and daughter in law bought my birthday gift from Dick's on May 21, 2009. Unfortunately the gift did not fit and when I went to exchange the gift, with my gift receipt from Dick's seven days later, they did not have my size. The cashier said I could either have the cash or get a gift card. I took the gift card option. I wrapped the receipt around the card and did not try to use it until yesterday when I got an e-mail from Dick's and noted that there was a one day on-line sale. I found something that I wanted to purchase and took out my "card". When I went to put in the info, I was asked for a pin number. Since there was not a pin number on the card, I called the customer service number. That was when I found out that I was given a merchandise credit (MC) instead of a gift card and that the MC could only be used in the store since the on-line site is run by a different company. The customer service people I spoke with from the web site were very nice but I was told there was nothing they could do and to call the store and they also gave me the corporate customer service number and suggested that I call them. I called the store was told that I would have to go to the store. Today I did follow up and call Dick's corporate customer service. The person with whom I spoke, Mary Jo, was rude, argumentative, talking over me while I was talking, would not let me speak with a supervisor when I asked to repeatedly, and ultimately hung up on me. When I called back, spoke with Michele, who when she found out that I just spoke with Mary Jo, behaved in the same fashion. In the current economical crisis that we are in, I cannot imagine any company going so far as to alienate a customer then Dick's did.
Not only will I not shop at Dick's, I requested that I be taken off their e-mail list, but I have requested that my family not buy anything for from Dick's again. Dick's has lost me as a customer and although I am but one person, if this is how Dick's treats their customers, in time it will have a ripple effect and they will lose others.

Yeah, your actions will probably put them out of business, not! I understand how people can be upset with their legitimate complaints but the rambling about the economy, telling all your friends, posting on all complaint boards, and calling the BBB will do nothing.
PepperElf on 12/08/2009:
this whole issue with the in-store card and the online-card being two different creatures will bring them to financial ruin.

choirqueen on 12/09/2009:
I understand that I am but one person, but I am sure that many others have run into one of the two issues that I have brought up. The fact that the on-line site and the store site are two different entities is a major problem, they are not interchangeable. I was only bringing up the economy because now more than at other times people are tending to be careful about their spending and where they are doing it. There are many sporting goods stores both concrete and on-line to choose from.
ME! on 12/24/2012:
I'm having the SAME problem, there's even a number to call but they can't fix it either and the store doesn't have my size, ugghhh
Beverly on 01/01/2013:
Just went through the same thing. Spent hours yesterday running to 3 stores (all an hour from my home) as each store told me the next one had it. The last stop they looked online, said they could order it n ship it to my house. But the item wasn't even available online. Took what I THOUGHT was a gift card. Found the item online just this morning, only to find I couldn't use this merchandise credit. I have to drive back to a store n get a gift card. Absolutely ridiculous. I too am done with Dick's and will tell everyone I know!!!
Hank on 02/11/2013:
I am dealing with the same problem. It appears from the dates of these comments that no action has been taken to resolve this complication over the past 3 years.
Considering the limited in-store selection when compared to the website, it is very frustrating to not be able to use the merchandise card online. I am stuck with a merchandise card that I can't use for the product I want.
Having a physical location has a lot of benefits, but the physical store/online store relationship should be streamlined.
If you know there's a wider selection online, then why would you choose only from what's offered in-store? (Furthermore, why not use Amazon, etc. where you almost always find a better deal?)
Once I spend this "in-store only" card, I will probably not be back to Dick's for quite some time.

Terrible Customer Service
Posted by
WESTBURY, NEW YORK -- I have spent a decent amount of money at Dicks over the last few years, but I shall never shop there again. In the past, I have purchased camping equipment and sporting goods for my two sons. In this last instance, I was attempting to buy a shotgun. Dicks had sent fliers out advertising a sale on firearms and fishing gear. I walked up to the counter and had to wait patiently while two salesman ignored me and had a personal conversation regarding something funny on their cell phones. I would have left then but I wanted the item (a Mossberg 500 shotgun). They talked and laughed and looked up at me and then continued to talk. Finally one of them rudely asked me what I wanted. I told him and he went over to the shotguns. He never made eye contact during this entire exchange. He allowed me to look at the weapon and ignored me while texting on his phone. I asked him a question regarding a difference between two models and he said, "what happened?". I put the gun down and told him I would be back when he actually had the time to help me. For some reason this got his attention and he protested that he was ready to help me now. I walked away and tried to complain to a manager. That turned into a ten minute wait only to have another sales associate come over and say, "Can I tell the manager what this in regard to?" I said no thank you and left. Never to return again. It just isn't worth the aggravation. I have had negative sales experiences in that store before but gave them the benefit of the doubt. In the future, I will spend my money in a small local shop. It will be more expensive but the service will be appropriate and satisfying.

I have been a customer of Dick's Sporting Goods twice; and received poor service both times. On one occasion, the sales reps at the counter were too busy chatting about personal matters to assist me (much like this review) and on the other occasion, there was a long line of customers attempting to make purchases at the only open register which was located near three closed registers. There were two employees standing around doing nothing and another employee riding a bicycle around the aisles. This large store (located at the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville, FL) has a wide variety of products but I wasn't impressed with the service. Good review.

We had an outstanding small chain of sporting goods stores named Chick's. Great service and prices. Dick's Sporting Goods bought them out and it has been downhill ever since. Rotten service and all the prices have gone up.
Ytropious on 11/06/2009:
When he decided to help you you were just being rude when you left to go tattle to a manager. If you wanted help he was then able to give it to you, so stick around and get helped! Also most managers like being told what they are needed for, it's not rude for the customer service person to ask what you need a manager for. Also, get over the lack of eye contact. Some people just aren't comfortable with it, it's not a sign of being rude, or trying to be rude.

Dick's No Sweat warranty = No sweat because they won't fix your equipment!
Posted by
COLUMBIA, MARYLAND -- The electronics on my $1149 elliptical stopped working after I had it for a little over three years. I remembered purchasing a warranty but it had been so long that I did not remember the details of it so I called Dick's No Sweat Warranty and asked if the warranty was still active. They looked up the model of the elliptical and informed that it was no longer active, that it had expired last winter. Now for the math... I purchased the elliptical in November of 2005 with a 3 year extended warranty. The model had a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. The Dick's No Sweat warranty representative said that her computer showed that the manufacturer's warranty was only 30 days. She also stated that the extended warranty that I purchased started when the manufacturer's warranty expired. Therefore my extended warranty expired in December of 2008. So I pointed out to her that the manufacturer's warranty was actually a 1 year warranty. She said that she would need to verify this with the manufacturer. So I actually held on the line while she did in fact verify this, it was amazing! There was a problem but they fixed it so quickly, I was overjoyed! Then she said that she couldn't put in a ticket for the repair until it was changed in the system, which would take 3-5 days. I thought that was fair so I waited... and I called after 8 days. No dice, the computer wasn't updated, another ticket was put in, I waited 3-5 days. I called again, still not updated, another ticket was put in, another 3-5 days was waited. I called again... same thing! Finally I called today (after waiting 3-5 days since the last phone call of course) and was told that everyone I spoke to before was wrong, the extended warranty started the day I bought the elliptical... who would buy that! I argued... I pointed out that everyone I spoke to before said the exact opposite... I asked for a copy of the policy and was denied... I wasted a month waiting and being lied to. The representatives at Dick's No Sweat Warranty are incompetent and they'll say anything to get you off the phone as long as they don't have to deal with you. Save your money, go somewhere where they honor their warranty!

I hate when Dicks doesn't have a no sweat warranty
CJS on 05/10/2014:
Thank you for this review. I just purchased a treadmill from Dick's and had a sales team of THREE people brow beating me to take the No Sweat Plan. I kept saying I wasn't big on buying warranties because most are nightmares. They practically insisted I buy it which made me feel really uneasy so I asked how long I had after the treadmill purchase to get in on the No Sweat deal. They said I have 30 days and urged me to "hurry back and buy the warranty" and went on and on about how I'd be foolish not to protect my purchase. I told them I needed to research the plan first and then would come back to buy it if the results were positive. After spending the last hour or so reading poor review after poor review of this plan, I can see why they wanted me to buy it before I got home and looked up the reviews. THANKS to you and the dozens of others on multiple websites who have documented their awful experiences with Dick's NO SWEAT Protection Plan. There is no way I'm buying it!

How budget cuts could affect Oregon
Feb 24, 2013 | 1 Comment
PORTLAND — The White House compiled the numbers from federal agencies and its own budget office. The numbers reflect the impact of the cuts this year. Unless Congress acts by Friday, $85 billion in cuts are set to take effect from March-September.
As to whether states could move money around to cover shortfalls, the White House said that depends on state budget structures and the specific programs. The White House did not have a list of which states or programs might have flexibility.
Some examples of programs that could be cut in Oregon:
—$10.2 million for primary and secondary education, putting around 140 teacher and aide jobs at risk. About 40 fewer schools would receive funding.
—$6.4 million for education of children with disabilities, jeopardizing the jobs of 80 teachers, aides and staff.
—About 240 fewer low-income students would receive aid to help them finance the costs of college.
—About 600 children would lose access to Head Start and Early Head Start.
—$1.9 million to ensure clean water and air quality, and to prevent pollution from pesticides and hazardous waste.
—$1.1 million in grants for fish and wildlife protection.
—Furloughs for 3,000 civilian Department of Defense workers would reduce gross pay by $16.5 million.
—Base operation funding for the Army would be cut by about $1.6 million.
—$155,000 in grants that support law enforcement, courts, corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, and crime victim initiatives.
—$470,000 for job search assistance, referral and placement.
—Up to 300 disadvantaged and vulnerable children could lose access to child care.
—1,670 fewer children would receive vaccines.
—$890,000 in grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse, resulting in about 3,800 fewer admissions to substance abuse programs.
—$366,000 in funds to help Oregon upgrade its ability to respond to public health threats including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological events.
—$81,000 in funds that provide services to victims of domestic violence.
— $690,000 in funds that provide meals for seniors.

Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol (Vestura)
What is Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol?
Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and also cause changes in your cervical and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
The combination of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. It is also used to treat moderate acne in women who are at least 14 years old and have started having menstrual periods, and who wish to use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy.
This medication is also used to treat the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), such as anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble concentrating, lack of energy, sleep or appetite changes, breast tenderness, joint or muscle pain, headache, and weight gain.
Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol?
Do not use birth control pills if you are pregnant or if you have recently had a baby.
You should not take birth control pills if you have any of the following conditions: uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, a blood-clotting disorder, circulation problems, diabetic problems with your eyes or kidneys, unusual vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, severe migraine headaches, if you smoke and are over 35, or if you have ever had breast or uterine cancer, jaundice caused by birth control pills, a heart attack, a stroke, or a blood clot.
Smoking can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack caused by birth control pills, especially if you are older than 35. Drospirenone may be more likely to cause blood clots than other types of birth control pills.
You may need to use back up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication or if you miss a dose. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant. Carefully follow the "missed dose" instructions if you forget to take your birth control pills.
Some drugs can make birth control pills less effective in preventing pregnancy, including antibiotics, hepatitis C medications, HIV/AIDS medications, seizure medications, or barbiturate sedatives. Tell your doctor about all other medications you use.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol?
This medication can cause birth defects. Do not use if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant, or if you miss two menstrual periods in a row. If you have recently had a baby, wait at least 4 weeks before taking birth control pills.
You should not take birth control pills if you have:
- untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure
- heart disease (coronary artery disease, uncontrolled heart valve disorder, history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot)
- a blood-clotting disorder or circulation problems
- problems with your eyes, kidneys or circulation caused by diabetes
- a history of hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer
- unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor
- liver disease or liver cancer
- severe migraine headaches (with aura, numbness, weakness, or vision changes), especially if you are older than 35
- a history of jaundice caused by pregnancy or birth control pills; or
- if you smoke and are over 35 years old
To make sure you can safely take birth control pills, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- high blood pressure, varicose veins
- high cholesterol or triglycerides, or if you are overweight
- a history of depression
- underactive thyroid
- gallbladder disease
- diabetes
- seizures or epilepsy
- a history of irregular menstrual cycles
- tuberculosis; or
- a history of fibrocystic breast disease, lumps, nodules, or an abnormal mammogram
The hormones in birth control pills can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medication may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast feeding a baby.

How should I take Drospirenone Ethinyl Estradiol?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
You will take your first pill on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period begins. You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Take one pill every day, no more than 24 hours apart. When the pills run out, start a new pack the following day. You may get pregnant if you do not take one pill daily. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of pills completely.

Use a back-up birth control if you are sick with severe vomiting or diarrhea.
If you need surgery or medical tests or if you will be on bed rest, you may need to stop using this medication for a short time. Any doctor or surgeon who treats you should know that you are using birth control pills.

If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack that day.
If you miss two or more pills, you may not have a period during the month. If you miss a period for two months in a row, call your doctor because you might be pregnant.

I asked about this before...but we got more information and now...I wonder..
After talking to our banker we decided we didn't want a "jumbo" loan. Too much hassle. That means we only take out the max conventional which is 417, plus whatever we put down. Right now that look like no more than 90k. putting us a 507k
To stay within this budget, my fiancee and I decided we would only "finish" the first floor which is 2900sqft. This means every piece that we want and the master bathroom an half bathroom would be as we wish.(exception of library/office and formal dining room)
And since we don't have kids, we would paint, put up better trim and add little touches, upgrade certain things to the second floor and downstairs library and formal dining room later throughout the first year so using cash. Basically keep it as enough for occupancy when its built.
Minimum to make it livable (with the correct flooring) its 1400 sqft.
Is this feasible? on a 500k budget? I'm in Michigan.
This budget doesn't include the land or stuff. Just the actual build. I know they say its cheaper to do it all at once, but we really don't want to go into jumbo loans and we are in no rush. We could wait another year and save up more for down payment, but why keep renting when we could put that money into our own house.
I'm asking here because I don't want to embarrass myself when bringing this up to our builder.
the builder is the guy you should bounce this off of, because of several things...
(1) it tells him this is a rock-hard budget, and that he has to isolate a contingency fund himself from this hard rock budget. (stuff) always happens in construction, from weather delays to unobtanium products to charlie-fox subcontractors whose work has to be redone.
(2) it also tells him that he's going to have to be creative in his use of materials to make the budget. no ipay and sub-zero forrrrr YOU, but there are plenty of good options that don't look like you shop the dump.
last thing you all want is to build a $700,000 house and run clean out at $470,000 before the roof is on. misunderstandings are easy when he's the pro and you are not.
(3) there is, of course, the background question of whether you are biting off more than you can handle. that discussion is best had between you and the contractor.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
I'm a bit confused.
I assume you're referring to the choice of a jumbo vs. conventional loan only in the sense of your permanent financing, which would replace the construction financing? Is your construction financing sufficient to get you to a point of completion that you can get a permanent loan?
I think the issues of what you'll need to do to get a certificate of occupancy and a permanent loan are still major ones which you should discuss with your builder and the community authorities. And of course these issues will drive the level of construction financing you need.
If your minimum livable space is 1400 sq. ft. but your entire first floor will be 2900 sq. ft., and there's a minimally unifinshed second floor, this leaves a lot of unfinished space. I would think that the permanent financing lender would be concerned about this issue. That lender is going to want the collateral to be worth its investment, and a less than half finished house raises some questions about that evaluation.
But there are still the issues of what your community government's standards of completion are and what you need to do to meet them.
If you haven't yet spoken with your community's architectural or building department, it might be a good starting point so you can work backward from there to ensure that you can actually get a C/O to live in the house.
This is a major consideration which should drive other factors like how much you want to finish.
If you're asking whether 1400 sq. ft. can be "finished" on a 500K budget, this is really a question for your builder.
And wherever you are in Michigan makes a difference. If you're in SW Oakland County, for example, your land costs will be more than in SE Oakland. If you're building in Wayne County, that's a different story entirely, as would be building in Livingston or Washtenaw County.
You wrote that your budget excludes land "and stuff". How are you planning to finance the purchase of the land?This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,
We're paying cash for the land which is why its not an issue and also why we only have the 90k to put down.The ground clearing guy gave us an estimate for 7k to clear 40k feet, as we know him, so its not an issue.
The 2900 sq ft ground floor is what we want "finished" to exactly how we want with only the upstairs 1400 finished to the point needed to COO. That's well over half the sq ft in perfect condition.
The builder who we are sending the plans over to said he will take a look to see if our estimate is reasonable. I just want an idea.
We are in central oakland county..
Thanks for the explanations. I wasn't intending to pry on the issue of the land; just wanted to be sure it had been factored into the financial calculations.
Guess I misunderstood what the finishing intentions were. I thought you only planning to finish 1400 square feet of the first floor.
If you're where I think you are, I pass your area regularly. Don't worry - I'm not a stalker! I sometimes take that route through some of the communities in central Oakland County because it's less traffic and more scenic. This is the orange and white barrel season so routes have to change to avoid the delays.
No problem I'm sure you aren't stalking us.
Yeah we are really trying to determine if 90k is enough of a down payment for what we want or if we need to just go ahead and wait another year. Its a tough decision as we really don't want to spend more money on renting.
I am concerned as to what our budget will be. I honestly see no reason to go all out upstairs. Its two people right now, and we will have time to figure out what we like up there before we get pregnant (I get pregnant).
We know exactly how we want our kitchen, living room, master bed and bath...but the other rooms we haven't given much thought to as of now and a whiteboard seems the best option considering our financial decision to stay away from jumbo loans.
I hear we're back to the 50s, in that you need 20% down just about anyplace, or they don't process your application any further than the roundfile. so 5 x $90,000 is $450,000 and that's your top for building, permitting, platting, permanent title.
that should also include appliances and furniture, because it sounds like that runs you out of credit which you can pay on monthly.
you can do two floors and an unfinished basement around here with a 50 mile commute to the twin cities, but it's not going to be a magazine-decor home, it's builder-grade. as always, the biggest cost is labor. next is materials. next is covering contingencies IMPHO, since you already have the land blocked out.
and you don't want to be the "cheapest" house in the neighborhood, or the loan value is not fully backed up.
you're right to stay out of jumbo territory, you get penalized in all directions... interest, property tax, elbow room for lifestyle, etc. another case of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."
good luck on the house of your dreams.

Hello DrkRaven0905,
I hope that your building has been continuing smoothly. While this may not contribute a giant cost savings, you might want to consider buying your AC and heating equipment at a wholesale price to reduce your cost.
We have been able to save homeowners who purchase their own equipment from us and have a licensed contractor install it, an average savings of 50-65% over the traditional way of installing HVAC systems. Especially if you are going for the higher end and more efficient systems. I invite you to stop by our website below and checkout out what we have to offer:
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information. We wish you all the best on your building and a wonderful day!

I don't know why anyone would want to consider someone who can't read the terms and conditions of participation in this website and simply hawks his merchandise.

The passenger-only ferry MV Napa, formerly the MV Snohomish that was on the Bremerton-Seattle run, began its service in San Francisco in May 2009. The vessel underwent minor modifications — it still even sports Washington State Ferry green — before being placed on the Larkspur to San Francisco run. It will be taken out of service sometime this spring, after which it will be completely refurbished at a cost of nearly $10 million.
The MV Snohomish, along with the MV Chinook, was sold to service in San Francisco in early 2009 for just over $4 million for the pair. The Snohomish was renamed MV Napa and now carries passengers between San Francisco and Larkspur, Calif. in Northern Marin County.
Commuters exit the MV Napa, which runs between Larkspur, Calif. and San Francisco. The run has a ridership of about 6,000.
When the MV Napa (formerly MV Snohomish) was on the Bremerton to Seattle run, the upper rear deck had a bench. The bench has been replaced with bike racks.
The San Francisco to Larkspur, Calif. run is about 11.25 nautical miles, much of which is open bay, allowing the boat to kick up the throttle and leave a large wake behind it.
While the ride on the MV Snohomish from Bremerton to Seattle had picturesque views of the Manette Bridge, Olympic Mountains and views of Kitsap County shores, the re-christened MV Napa has a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.
The lifering on the MV Napa no longer bears the name "Snohomish."
San Quentin State Prison is about two miles from the Larkspur ferry terminal. The ferry passes slowly by as it approaches the shore going into the Larkspur Landing.
A walkway runs along the Sir Francis Drake Boulevard on the north shore near the Larkspur landing, visible from the MV Napa.
Near the Larkspur ferry landing and visible from the ferry, about 50 homes on stilts are planted in the marsh along the Greenbrae Boardwalk, which runs along Corte Madera Creek.
The MV Napa and other ferries on the Larkspur-San Francisco run dock in Larkspur Landing.
The Larkspur ferries have seagulls too. The Larkspur Landing has a tall white, metal covering over the terminal, but is mostly open to the air. A large parking lot surrounds the terminal.
The MV Napa pulls out of the Larkspur ferry landing on its way back to San Francisco.
Formerly owned by the Washington State Ferry system, the Napa is now part of the Golden Gate Transit's ferry system and runs between San Francisco and Larkspur California.
