Personally I wouldn't trust any of the bindings they include in the package.

Steve Sparks, Was that a seperate email to the "Ihre Rechnung/Gutschrift von Sport Conrad - Your Invoice/Credit note by Sport Conrad" email? because I bought some on friday and was told it would take up to 5 business days(by contacting them separately), and I still haven't gotten a shipping notice saying when I'll have them.

If only Conrad had a decent real time inventory on their website I might have been awaiting new skis also (I'd have probably grabbed some Asentions if I'd known the skis I'd ordered were Out of Stock).

I'm making a mental note now that the sale's going to probably start on April 26th 2013 for next season's coreupt skis. I'll be on at midnight trying to get a pair of Watch Outs if they have any. 
Still no invoice for me but I only bought yesterday. I will be so gutted if they've sold out but it seems to be updating reasonably well on their website. The advert from monday says there were 10 pairs left, but there were only 9 listed yesterday morning, so they're probably updating it on weekdays.

Elston, ah that's sad to hear. Though the same sale occured last year apparently so it might not be related.

You know it makes sense.

It might not be the last we see of Coreupt though, bankruptcy might not mean they shut down. After all, they announced their whole 2013 lineup already so all the design and engineering for that's done, they just need to get the skis made/distributed so they'll be making a lot of that money back soon. I don't think this is the end of the company.

I've just been told they haven't even shipped mine out yet, I don't care how cheap it is after lying twice about delivery if they don't give me free postage I'm returning them.

mag1882, I have bought half a dozen pairs of skis and bindings from them over the years (and with lots of silly queries on my part). They are a really great shop. I guess that there might be a few logistical issues with all the corrupt stock but I really wouldn't worry.

Just had a PDF invoice confirming my order Dirty Skis-of-questionable-parentage. No mention of shipping yet tho.
|
|
|
|
|
|

They've updated the site again, supposedly only 7 models left in stock. The Bangers are one of them so if I don't get the ones I ordered heads are gonna roll. 
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
I got a phone call to confirm that I wanted to add another pair of skis to my order and they didn't mention anything about the Bangers being out of stock so you should be okay

The news has just come: Coreupt files for bankruptcy and is in receivership. For simplicity, the company is either new capital or a buyer, its future is very seriously compromised.
Meanwhile, the new risk of leaving in the lurch a lot of riders and suppliers (the principle of recovery is that the debts are frozen: the company no longer has the right to pay its suppliers, and by extension the riders who are not employees).

CoreUPT would appear to be having problems as they launched a clothing line, spent heavily during development and then the backer for the line pulled his promised investment after CoreUPT had already spent it. Filing means they are protected until end of July'ish and can go looking for a replacement 'angel'.
Looks like distributors are still paying for skis to be produced so I would be surprised if the 2013 range doesn't hit the shops next season. Hope they can find a new backer for the clothing, looks like their only mistake was being a bit too trusting (though you never know the whole story). Their skis are certainly top notch and their athletes are awesome (if maybe a little expensive).

Went for The Caspers in the end, out of the ones left I thought they'd probably be the most different, 'Aggressive Cambre' instead of twin rockers, should be better on piste for proper skiing, I'll use the Bangers for playing around.

Good to have confirmation! done a heck of a lot of reading in the last few days and have gone from knowing pretty much nothing at all to purchasing 2 sets of skis 
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally got my confirmation - can hardly believe it. Son's Slashers are on route.
I have no post purchase dissonance whatsoever - well all right I haven't seen them far less tried them yet - but it seems a great deal to me, and a big saving on the Franny Bacons he was after.

Fifespud, What size Slashers and when did you order?

midgetbiker, Thanks for your update on their financial position. Would you say it is safe to purchase from them?
I emailed them a week ago, as I looking to purchase some new skis and wanted to know what they recommended for me to progress to skiing off piste, but they haven't replied.
At the moment I ski on Fischer AMD 79 but would like to go wider. I am 61 yo height 5'8" and 13 stone 182 lbs. I am level 6 or ski club purple level. So I am looking for any advise I have done so much reading I am shell shocked.
