So here we are. It’s the 19th of August. It feels like ages ago, when I was up late at my computer, reading Evolve Skateboards webpage promise of shipping their boards mid-July. I thought, It’ll be here in time for when my daughter comes to visit. Then I got the email saying they’d ship them mid August. Now, past the mid point of August, and still no follow up email. Check their blog, and you’ll find this message:
OUR BOARDS WILL BE HERE SOON!

Trucks and wheels are in, boards, motors, and batteries are in the US and on the way for assembly shortly!
I must say I’m a bit dissatisfied with this blog post. First off, I found the post on their US webpage. So where are these guys if the ‘boards, motors, and batteries are in the US’? I’d assume the post comes from the Australians, which would mean all these items would go from the US to Australia to assemble, and then back here?
Either way, it seems to me like they’re on track to be more than two months late on their shipment. I hate to write about Evolve with a pessimistic tone -- they have some of the coolest boards on the planet, and I really want one.
But they dinged my credit card to the tune of $1400, and so far all I’ve got in return are broken promises. What happens come 9/14 -- three months after I placed my order? The magic date where I can no longer contest the credit card charge?
Ship to me, Evolve, you’re my only hope!
