Pledged their Gale V2 jacket on Kickstarter
This is not the first time I bought something from Seadon. The last time before that was in October 2025. I received an email from them, stating that two of the items that I ordered were sold out, even though I was able to order them on their Shopify website. Satisfied with the clothing that I had nonetheless received, I pledged their Gale V2 jacket on Kickstarter and was met with disappointment FOUR months later. The original plan was that they would send out the jacket at the beginning of December 2025 and we would receive it before Christmas (Guaranteed Delivery Before Christmas — or You’ll Get a Full Refund). I filled out the survey I received a week later than expected, but still in time, because I was waiting for Carson to provide information on the sizing. This slight delay was the catalyst that did not inspire confidence in the campaign. On the 18th of December, we received a new status update on jackets shipped to the EU. Seadon's EU fulfillment system could not be reconnected in time, so people in the EU would receive their jackets after Christmas. Carson mentioned that they did not receive any response or confirmation for over a week. Now onto update #9, four days later. We finally receive the news that EU orders are expected to be delivered in early January. When people in the comments section were asking where their jackets were, they received no reply from Carson. Update #10 is posted nearly two months later, on the 2nd of February 2026. Among other things, Carson promises to "plan more frequent public updates during fulfillment". On the 14th of February I still had not received anything and I sent them a message on Kickstarter asking where my shipment is. Half a month after my message, on the 1st of March, Carson provides us a dedicated email for support. So what happened when I sent them an email there, after neither having received any response nor the jacket? They "under-forecasted certain colors and sizes", and after nearly four months of waiting I discover that my size L navy jacket was NEVER shipped. Remembering my previous experience with them, I ask them why their website still states the jacket in my size and preferred colour was still in stock and could be added to the shopping cart. Their reply: "We also recently experienced a website issue where some out-of-stock items were not updating in real time". You cannot tell me this is a recent issue, when five months ago the same problem was still occuring. All in all, this has been an enlightening experience and I will be sure to never spend my money on Seadon products again.
