Did anyone do the staffer package on bowlersdeals.com?
I signed up! Seems pretty neat! The price on newer releases is what I like!
-
I am signed up as well, deciding on what equipment to get, torn on a few high end balls. Have you already ordered your equipment?
-
Yeah I picked the rg defiant soul, storm fire road, and the rg shout. I had mostly all of storm and roto's current offerings...
I like when you are signed in to the site it shows your discount already applied to the price..
-
You went with the gold package? I only went with the silver. Got a sync, need something to drop to after that. Between defiant soul, lucid, or iq pearl. Then probably misfit neon.
-
I like the site as well. I noticed they do not carry turbo products.
-
Id go crossroad or iq tour pearl...perhaps a rg beserk or even an hell raiser terror
-
what does the jersey look like?
-
I also got accepted and went with the silver package. Took the brutal nightmare and misfit pearl. Not really worried about the balls but cant wait to get the jerseys even though they wont have them in for like a month though :/
-
Silver for me as well. Getting the Defiant Soul and Tropical Breeze Black Cherry.
-

On their Facebook page, under photos..

There are 5 colorations on their fb page..I wonder if we get to pick what color..
-
I would imagine we do.. because i know anyone who gets stuck with that yellow might be upset.. haha i know i would be. I cant stand yellow lol just too ugly. Too bad they didnt make a pink one. That would be SWEET!!
-
Comparing their deal to my distributor costs they are really pinching us brick and mortar shops. No big deal....not complaining just saying you guys are getting great value. Still gotta come see me to drill them ;)
But the packages are vastly different. The value in the Silver package is much, much better than the Gold. Basically if you upgrade to Gold you only get a medium performance ball, a slightly better more expensive bag, and an extra set of grips and slug. You would be better off buying 2 Silver packages for the same price.
Honestly their Silver deal is low enough that it beats my distributor pricing (but the Gold does not) and so I will be picking up a package to use as inventory.
Oh and good ball choices by all of you guys so far. I did not look at the price on the RG Wrecker but that ball is selling so fast in Metro Detroit that shops and our distributor cannot keep them in stock. Best bang for the buck in all of bowling and hooks waaayy more than the price point. It is more ball than the IQ Tour Pearl.
Good luck guys.

For those of you that were accepted. Is there a contract, and what are the stipulations?
Thanks..
-
It says the $199.99 silver level price is annual. So does this mean next year you pay the same price and get all the same stuff new all over again or do you just get the items 1 time when you first join. If that is the case, this is not a good deal. The 2nd year you are paying the $199.99 to get 10% off? No thanks if that is the deal.

Basically you have to wear the jersey whenever you are bowling. How they monitor that, I'm not sure...

I had the same question so I clarified this via email last week. Upon renewal you receive 2 more jerseys and continue to receive the discounts, but the equpiment is only given with the initial membership.
-
Has anyone's order been fulfilled yet? I know it's early and Mike has a ton of orders to get filled, but I was just curious.
-
Well this is catching a lot of buzz across all of the bowling forums. I guess the promotion is really working. Good luck to all that have applied and congrats to those accepted. Don’t forget BD does carry the full line of Seismic gear. Great chance to get your hands on some outstanding equipment with a great savings.
HAHA PLUG

not worth it if you only get the bowling balls once and just get jerseys every yr after. just my opinion im not gonna pay 200 a yr for a jersey and a 10% discount

I'm not completely disagreeing with you, but the 10% off discount on the two balls that I'm getting for example would be about $210 so it's almost the same if you renew after the first year. If anything it's worth it for the first year, you don't have to renew...
-
Where are you getting a $210 discount on 2 balls from? Its 10% which means if you buy 2 $150 balls, that's a $30 dollar discount.
The 2nd year at $199 for 2 more jerseys and a 10% discount is not worth it at all. I don't see them keeping any members at all after the initial 1st year deal.

o i agree the initial start of it is a great deal but what u get when you renew TO ME isn't worth it

Yeah, my math is messed up, lol. they will lose everyone after the first year if you get no equipment with the renewal.

This looks like just a discount program, not a staff position.

Now if they were paying me to advertise their company that would be a different story. But cant see paying them and also advertising for them... Just sayin :P
ImBackInTheGame arent you a Lane #1 Staffer?

Nobody is making you. I was going to buy a couple of balls anyway and this was a good deal for doing that. To each their own.
-
I really see no advantage to the website doing this for a little bit of advertising. Also, who is going to be the jersey police and make sure you wear the jersey every time you bowl. I see it as a decent internet deal for the silver package for 1 year only and then quit. The gold deal is not worth it unless your used to buying everything at pro shop prices.
This is also not a true "staff" position, it is just the way the website words it to make people jump at the deal. People are so hung up on the thought of being a staffer. If your a true staffer, you get all of your equipment, bags and shirts for FREE or maybe pay very little for your stuff. I know several true staffers and that's the way it works. But hey to each his own. If you thinks its a great deal, go for it. It's not for me..
-
Who knows, it might get some people on the "radar" for full staff status at BD. If you get a ton of people to use your promo code, they can track that and they could offer a "real" staff position to those people.
-
So they are going to give a staff position to the best sales person?? I would be willing to bet there will be no full staff positions at this website.
But like I said, to each his own and if you like the idea, go for it..

I never said they will do that, just a thought...
-
Man there are some grumpy people on this site. Dont you have to be a touring professional or regional player ....or have a pro shop or Both to get a 'real' staff position?? I read that some free agents on tour still have to pay for some/most equipment. If I was on tour or had a shop the stipulations would be even more complicated. ALL I have to do is wear a shirt, THATS IT....not a bad deal. I get high end equipment at the lowest price possible...for an average joe. I order from the site all the time...so why not get it cheaper that I usually do? And atleast they are doing something intriguing...most of the other sites are doing absolutely nothing for their customers.
-
Well said Bill!
-
Has anyone's order been fulfilled yet? I know it's early and Mike has a ton of orders to get filled, but I was just curious.
Yes mines been fulfilled, ill have my stuff thursday from what ups is saying on shipping
-
Mine now says awaiting shipping so I'm guessing it will ship tomorrow.
-
Mine says awaiting pickup...I TOTALLY have way too much nib equipment for the summer! Hehe
-
Curious if anybody was rejected...I'm guessing no.
This whole thing seems interesting. I can't see doing it long term (you would need to but a lot of stuff to cover the $200 going forward), but I don't see the harm in doing it for a year.
-
I couple guys in my area applied a day after I did...no confirmation on selection yet. I heard back within 24 hours

This looks like a copy of Visionary's staff discount plans. They also had silver and gold level plans, buying balls per year at a discount plus a bag and a jersey.
It just helps them advertise and get recognition for their company.

I received my shipment yesterday! Now to set aside some time to punch them up.
-
Recieved mine too...my gf is going nuts hahahahahahahaha
-
I received my shipment today. Not a bad deal for the price.
