Loken Speaks

To everyone who have showed an interest in Loken skiboards

The last month, we have been having problems getting our skiboards shipped. One of our problems has been getting a straight answer out of our manufacturer about when they will be ready to deliver. We finally got the straight answer we wanted, but it is not what we where hoping for. Due to delays in production, and the upcoming holidays, they will not realistically be ready for delivery untill week four of 2006, the begining of February.

We where given expected dates of delivery, and where also told several times that our skiboards would be ready for delivery in just a few days. Considering what we where told earlier by our manufacturer, we are therefore extremely dismayed at this current development. Not beeing able to deliver our products untill well into the skiboarding season is something we did not believe would happen, even in our wildest dreams. But Loken Industries is a small company and a small customer to the factory, and we do not get priority in the production. We will work continously towards the factory to improve the situation. We have some extra leverage we will bring to bear on them, to make sure this kind of situation does not occur a second time.

We would like to offer you our most sincere appologies for this, and a promise to keep on working to get our skiboards ready for delivery.

Ain’t gonna die, gonna prosper.
