stoney066 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2021 Has anyone ordered recently? I ordered a couple blades in Sept, they still show in production. I emailed the founder Ron who lives close by me in Cali. He usually is super responsive but it's been 3 weeks and still nothing from him, I assume the email for base no longer works. I also emailed info@basehockey.ca, no response. The website still works, and it took my order and changed my card so someone is still paying the bill for the website lol.

start_today 770 Report post Posted November 17, 2021 Guy I played with placed an order over the summer and had absolutely zero communication for a few months, despite trying to reach them a few ways. He actually started the process of getting his money back through his credit card, and the sticks randomly showed up at his door in September. Never any follow up from Base. So, uh, they filled an order at somepoint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stoney066 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2021 I put in request to CC company, guess we will see if anyone tries to dispute the charge at base. If they do, great it means they are still alive and maybe I'll get what I ordered by Christmas 😉 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The company was still going for a bit after the shop closed, but it seems that they've gone under since Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sid 3 Report post Posted January 13 Just got an email from Base and seems they are back in business Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigT 4 Report post Posted January 13 Got the same email. Completely out of the blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoney066 0 Report post Posted January 22 Anyone order from them yet? I'm a bit skeptical since my order from 9/2021 was never sent to me. The email says after a 1.5 year hiatus, when in truth it's been almost 3 years now. I emailed info@basehockey.ca and received "address not found". I also emailed RonK with no response.... The email states their website has been updated but it has not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My account and previous orders still show when I log in and I went as far as putting blades in my cart to see the 30% discount I stopped short of placing the order though. I am hesitant to place an order until i see something confirming the reboot. I hope they do and I was surprised to get the email after so long. I too reached out to Ron K. with no response.

Dmitrakov 8 Report post Posted January 23 Hey guys, big fan of base even with their outdated curve selection now compared to other companies (cough cough, Gepetto). I have been in contact with base as of their new return to the hockey stick world, and I placed an order for a twig January 17th. I guess I can be the guinea pig for this one, and we'll see how accurate that 5 week lead time is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dmitrakov 8 Report post Posted March 11 Update: It's been 7 weeks since I placed an order and there is no update in the production/shipping process, yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the update, I want to place an order but I’ve been waiting for some confirmation from others. The last order I placed in January of 2021, prior to their shutdown, took about 10 weeks to be delivered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a longer wait than a full custom order of sticks from PSHS. I used Base pretty much exclusively prior to the pandemic, as I was a holdover from the 2 piece stick era, and liked that I had some shaft and blade options through them. However, how they handled their initial "closing" and how they are seemingly handling their business now- I'm all set. It's a shame, as I'm always a proponent of more equipment/stick options the merrier. I just don't trust buying from them at this point. Thank you for keeping us in the loop. Appreciate it.
