bowlingball.com goes Free Shipping
« on: October 28, 2008, 12:19:21 AM »
We have taken our site to completely FREE Shipping on Every Item. Every Day.

We cut out all of the other fees that some other websites sell as well.
* No hidden packaging fees.
* No additional fees for insurance that is already included by the shipper.

We have also lowered prices on over 1000 items.

Check out the changes.  http://www.bowlingball.com

I am sorry but I don't get why everyone is complaining about the free shipping. If you don't like it or agree with it, don't buy from bowlingball.com, period..

Keep paying whatever price you want to pay. As long as the person that is buying feels good about the item and the place they are buying it from, that's all that matters..

Matching prices....

I think any website will match prices.  If you find an Internet retailer (not just in bowling) that you like, I am sure you can ask them to match another price and they will, if possible.

Most people here seemed to hit the nail on the head, look at the final price.  The Internet is great for shopping around in just a few clicks.  

You can talk about a $5 coupon that will save you the packaging fee.  Here is a $10 coupon for any order of $75 for BallReview.com customers.  Just use Promotion Code BROCT.  Good until 10/31/2008.

1MECENG:

You are wasting your time. Have you not figured out that there exist many buffoons on this site? At least as many idiots as rational people on here.

It matters not that you make sense or are rational. Why waste the time trying to convince an idiot, or several idiots. You got the recipe. Shop around, buy at the best price. That keeps all the online sellers honest.

Reading must be a problem for you.  Did you not see where JLS posted that your bowlingball.com's price is $10 higher then bowling.com's price and JLS price.

I read just fine. I also filter out worthless crap, kind of like the stuff you're spewing. A 1 item sample set (such as the shoes in question) is not even remotely reliable when looking at a significantly larger set of values (more than 1000 items). You have been educated properly in statistics, right?!?!
quote:
So what you are saying is that you don't mind paying $10 more?

Since YOU, Sjf, obviously can't read, I'll repeat from my post (in simple terms so you can try to comprehend): I frequently shop at multiple online bowling sites. I do price shop for the best deal. If bowlingball.com has the best price (with shipping, tax, etc.) then I'll buy from them. If not, I'll go elsewhere. I merely said in my post that my transactions with bowlingball.com have all been handled smoothly. I inferred nothing about any other online shopping sites with my comment.
quote:
Nice try,  you work for them right?

Epic fail on your part. You obviously haven't read my profile. (Again, who has the reading problem here?! At least I have the cajones to post a profile online.). I work for a large agribusiness. That has never, ever, been confused with a bowling distributor.

Let's turn the tables: Do you work for the competition, Sjf?! You certainly have an axe to grind with bowlingball.com.

Since you want to cast aspersions based on 1-item sample sets, how about this one: a Morich Awesome Revs bowling ball. Bowling.com price is $152.99. Bowlingball.com has it today for $98.00. Both have free shipping. Do you enjoy paying $55.00 more for this ball at your preferred retailer?! You thought a $10.00 price difference was excessive ...

Finally, if you're going to call me out in these forums, at least bring a reasonable, rational argument backed with facts. Otherwise, you're just making yourself look silly.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.
