Super User BASSclary Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 Has anyone had any luck with price matching TW price on the T3 Ballistic at BPS or Gander? Im looking to buy one, but If I can pick it up in person tomorrow I'd rather do that then shipping, but obviously if they wont match the price, I'll give my business to TW. Any luck with their price matches? Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 Our local Gander Mountain will not match Tackle Warehouse. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 Gander mountain wont. Cabelas would be my first choice to give ot a try. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted June 5, 2014 Author Super User Posted June 5, 2014 Gander mountain wont. Cabelas would be my first choice to give ot a try. sadly the closest cabelas is 2 states away Guess i'll just be making a tackle warehouse order tonight 8) Quote
bass1980 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Just order it's free shipping. Make it two day shipping for $5. Not even a long wait. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 I just don't understand why in the world you want another company matching TW 's price when you can order from TW, still get FREE SHIPPING and have it at your door in a couple of days. Ain't that good enough ? 2 Quote
cjam93 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 If he has the option of going the next day to pick it up at the same price as online then why wouldnt he do that as opposed to buying online and then waiting on it to get there even if the shipping is free? Cant fault a guy for wanting to get something a little faster haha Quote

cjam93 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 You have to pay tax on it too. Thats true, I know I would be fine with paying for tax on something that I was really wanting to get sooner rather than later. I guess it just comes down to if you really dont want to have to wait or not. Quote
cddan Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah it's hard to wait when you want something. Those big stores are getting a little long in the tooth. Go wit tw. Wish I could help but that price matching thing always seems to have some loophole when I try. Btw I got a t3 at tw and despite some bad reviews I like it especially with good braid. Gotta change the handle though. I put an old bps reel handle on it(one bushing one bearing) now I really enjoy the reel (don't be afraid to push the price matching issue though always worth a try) Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 In the past I have not had luck with retail stores price matching online stores , much less when the online store product is on sale. Quote
thehooligan Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Go with TW, pay the $10 and have it on your doorstep the next morning Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 Go with TW, pay the $10 and have it on your doorstep the next morning Ok, you don´t pay sales tax but shell out 10 bucks for next day delivery, I still don´t get it if all you have to do is wait a couple of days and not pay any extra. My TW orders are international and I have them knocking at my door in 3 days, usually at around 6:00 PM. Quote

My TW orders are international and I have them knocking at my door in 3 days, usually at around 6:00 PM. Because if someone has a day off work the next day they like to use that real if they have to work the next three days after that.. Also waiting sucks it's worth the $10 to get next day delivery Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted June 6, 2014 Author Super User Posted June 6, 2014 I just wanted to do it today on my day off, and go fishing with it later, because its my only day off for something like the next 10 or so days. No big deal, I'll just get the free shipping, but I wish I couldve price matched it today and got to use it. (which Gander and Green Top respectfully declined) Oh well, i'll see it in about 4-5 days Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 6, 2014 Super User Posted June 6, 2014 THe Gander near me wouldn't even cut me any slack on a display model. I think they're gonna have a hard time selling it at their $200 clearance price. Quote
TorqueConverter Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Don't bother. I was in my local BPS yesterday and overheard parts of a conversation between a customer and the man behind the reel counter. It turns out BPS will only price match to physical store prices. Pick up your T3 Ballistic at TW but do take a real good, long, hard look at the Tatula 1st. I went T3B but I wish I went Tatula. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 6, 2014 Super User Posted June 6, 2014 TW is a brick and mortar. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted June 6, 2014 Super User Posted June 6, 2014 Yep... They (BPS) HATE when I try price matching with TW.. Lol! Oh well, you know I respect their Right to Decline, but man they seem to really get ticked off if you even ask Quote
