Having worked for West for six years or so, I'm surprised they get any
orders right.

When I was a boy scout some 35-40 years ago, I knew how to butt splice.  But in 
this case, I’d rather just get the entire length of the sheet I requested, in 
one piece :)

After putting most of the decent chandleries out of business, West has become 
the walmart of marine equipment. The quality of gear is consistently low 
because they impose so many conditions and price controls on suppliers that the 
suppliers have to cut corners to make a profit. looking at the West Mega store 
in Newport, most floor space is taken by clothing, which is obviously where the 
money is.

Re: Stus-List West Marine is So Funny

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

Randy,

I’m surprised you got rope.  From my experience with West,  I would assume that 
if you ordered Spinnaker sheets, you would be sent new linens for the V-Berth 
with pictures of pretty sailboats printed on them…

Years ago in a different employment situation, I toured dyWest Marine’s 
warehouse facility in Hollister, CA.  There is absolutely no resemblance to a 
marine store.  PFD’s are set on pallet racks next to fenders, boom vangs, and 
designer sandals, with no apparent order and the folks picking orders have 
likely never seen a marina let alone have any knowledge of what they’re 
shipping.  They will also stock only one of the specific item that is ALWAYS 
sold in pairs, just so you either need to drive to another store, or wait until 
it comes from their distribution center.

Randy,

They f'd up my order too!  Instead of 130 feet of 10 mm Endura I got 130
feet of 3/16 Sta-Set.  Plus the item listed on-line as chafe cover turned
out to be line.  One call and they shipped the correct line to the store so
I could do an exchange.
