In 2004 Stephen Cleary set out to create a layering company that worked on the slopes and looked good off the slopes, that company was eesa lux layering. Now 5 years later after other companies followed in their footsteps it’s become time that the doors are closing at eesa and for Stephen Cleary to take a better opportunity that has come his way.
As we congratulate Stephen on his newest venture, it’s also the perfect time to stock up on the last eesa productst that have hit their online store. The eesa online store is stocked with an assortment of their 09-10 winter softgoods from layering to socks with prices are unbeatable. Layering ranging from 2.99 & up, to socks for $4.99 to help eesa close out their final inventory. There are sold out items though but I found plenty of women’s socks still in stock and some layering…but you won’t know till you check your size what’s left.

I ended up just picking up a couple items for $4.99 and the end result was stocking up on socks that I always need. My shipping was $19.25 but it could be cheaper. If you can stock up on socks, you won’t need to buy socks for a while.
I’ve heard Hoon has an article that goes more in depth on the story behind eesa’s end and I’ll link to that from here when it goes up.

December 16, 2009 at 8:08 am“The shipping is $19.25”
It’s actually $9.50 for ground. Just grabbed a couple of $5 under shirts. I love those bamboo shirts. Paid $25 for my first one last year. Awesome deal.

Shay
December 16, 2009 at 10:32 amMeg, here’s a link to the eesa size guide that should help you out more. I’d say go with Large, your normal size but I could be wrong on that.

December 16, 2009 at 2:19 pmeh i’ve been trying all afternoon to buy thru the eesa site. Did you have any issues. I am unable to proceed past the shipping info page. My cart is full of goodies that I want to buy but…… hhhmmmmmm

December 16, 2009 at 4:37 pmI’m having the same problem trying to get through the checkout.

December 17, 2009 at 1:49 amThanks for deal, got a lot of stuff for me and the hubby. Shipping was a bit on the expensive side, but did get a great deal on under shirts and socks!

December 17, 2009 at 7:13 amShay, thanks for letting me know. After I showed the wife and niece we ended up placing an order for 23 items! Great deals. Thanks.
Mike
December 17, 2009 at 7:31 amThanks for the heads up Shay. Really good prices too. My kids can never have too many socks and base layers.
Shay
December 17, 2009 at 8:07 amAmy,
Corey who also had a problem with shopping emailed back and forth with me yesterday on his issue and he got it fixed. I guess some of the items in his cart were corrupt. So maybe remove them and try again?
Awesome to hear everyone is stoked on the great deals. I myself bought 10 pairs of socks and 2 shirts so i’m definitely stoked!
amy
December 19, 2009 at 6:38 pmI emailed both eesa and the email it told me to contact when I got the error page. It had something to do with prices in the cart as well.
All is good now!
Cory
December 20, 2009 at 3:05 pmthanks for the tip shay! nothing too lux left but you cant beat 4.99 socks!

January 6, 2010 at 11:24 amI just received my order and it contained just 1 item out of the 13 that I ordered. Eesa has not responded to my emails during this entire process. Needless to say I am very disappointed.

January 7, 2010 at 12:32 pmI also just received my order an only had 4 items (3 of them being socks) out of 14 purchased. There is a note that states they will give credits back 3-5 days after the 11th. However, I don’t count on that total being correct considering they got the size wrong on 2 of my socks, and the 1 shirt. Also, considering it took them damn close to a month to get caught up, i am not trusting anything.
Here’s what I find odd about the whole thing. They have a webmaster that took the time to change the price on the items they were dumping; however, they don’t have anyone to monitor the website realizing that it’s traffic just increased probably 1000x’s?
here’s the note they attached to the order:
“thanks for your order and sorry for the delays, we were completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of orders. In fact, our online store was so overwhelmed it sold itmes that were sold out and as such you mhave have received less than you ordered. If that is the case, we will be issueing refunds starting the week of jan 11. ”
When your website is tied directly to your inventory back end, how is this possible to happen?
oh yeah one more thing. Me and everyone else paid 20.00+ for shipping but only received 4 items with a total weighing less than a 1lbs. Do we get refunded for our shipping too?
btw eesa.com has no phone number listed anywhere on their site.
Shay
January 7, 2010 at 8:10 pmI heard about the refunds going on if your orders weren’t filled…definitely a bummer and hopefully it gets taken care of sooner than later. The last known number I have for eesa is 802.244.7077.
I received all the socks I ordered (all women’s) but was missing two shirts from the order so I’m sure that’ll get taken care of. I’m pretty patient when I know the person running it is doing it with limited resources and I only paid $8 for the missing items. Definitely if it was more expensive and money I need, I’d be freaking out a bit.
Hopefully it’ll all be fixed soon.

January 12, 2010 at 9:52 amRyan i had a similar experience and only received 2 out of the 7 items i ordered, plus two things that i didn’t order and don’t want. i also work in a small business and totally understand that sometimes inventory can get behind on orders. but we always make sure to call or email customers right away to let them know exactly what isn’t available anymore, and give them the option to choose something else or cancel their order entirely. after a month of waiting for my stuff to arrive i expected at least a heads up.
if eesa weren’t going out of business already i’d say i’d never order from them again.
Neko
January 14, 2010 at 10:36 amI also only received 2 out of the 5 things I ordered. Plus 3 items I didn’t order and 1 of them I have no clue what it is for! I hope they make good on the refund and hopefully be honest and refund some of the shipping too!
Shay
January 14, 2010 at 5:08 pmI just checked my account and I received my money back for the items I didn’t get…so check and see if you got your money as well.
anon
January 19, 2010 at 2:18 pmI am the anon above without high hopes. Looks like they did come correct with their credit. I had a total of 45.91 they should have credited me, but my cc company said they actually gave me 60.41 credit, so i guess they even gave me back some of my shipping.
Thank you eesa.com for at least coming correct on that end of the deal.
like Jessica said above. If they weren’t going out of business and had to do it over again, i wouldn’t.
