which deal, the Dick's 4 for $10 powerbait deal? Doesn't look like they're running it right now online - but the $10 rebate is good on purchases made until 9/2 - so check the site daily until then.
My saga of missing the flash deal on the carbon fire rods took another turn yesterday. Since the 7'3" heavy was out of stock when they ran it again, I settled for a Wright & McGill Skeet Reese 7'4" Fast (no power mentioned). UPS pulled up yesterday with a rod tube that had been bent in half and retaped. UPS driver had me open it while he was there - rod is in pieces, so he took it back. I call Dicks customer service, and they told me I should have kept the rod and just taken it to my local store for return. That doesn't jive with other experiences of accepting a visibly damaged package. Anyway, she says it could be a couple of weeks before I see a refund now cause of how the return process flows. Bah.
Anyway, I ask her if I'm just out everything at this point, since the rod was on a flash sale, and even once refunded, I didn't get the rod I wanted at the price I wanted it. She pulled some strings and got the OK to sell me a replacement for the $38 flash sale price. Then I sweet talked her into selling me the Lews 7'3" Heavy instead since it was back in stock now.
Here's hoping everything shows up in one piece this time.
