I was a backer of this campaign. After many numerous delays, my bomber jacket finally arrived today!

I have to say that it is a nice looking jacket! And I like the pockets and various accessories.

However with that being said, I am severely disappointed with my purchase of this jacket.

First, Baubax used DHL to ship out these jackets. I was hit with duty, taxes, and COD fees (charged up front by DHL) in the amount of $54 Cdn. upon picking up my jacket at the post office. I would much rather have had Baubax send these out by snail mail USPS, as I almost never incur duties and/or taxes (by Customs) when items are shipped to me via USPS regular post.

Second, this jacket is SMALL! I ordered a Small based on Baubax's sizing chart, and although the coat I received is labeled as 'S', I can almost guarantee you my coat is an EXTRA SMALL! I wrapped it back up and put it right back in the box! I am going to have to try and recoup some of my monies by selling this in an eBay auction or something along those lines. I am not going to request an exchange, because even if Baubax would agree to do so, I would incur even more costs with shipping it back....and then probably additional duties/taxes once again upon shipment/receiving of the replacement coat.

Next time, I will just wait until these kind of things are available in retail stores. Will probably end up costing me the same amount at retail level, and that way - at least I can try it on first and make sure it will fit properly from the get go!
