So I was looking for a decent price on a Hammer Rhythm and found it for like $79 at BowlerX...free shipping.
So then I noticed that the Brunswick Slingshot was starting to disappear. I was going to get it on bowlingball.com (site sponsor), but they ran out of stock. So I decided to spend the extra $2-$4 and get it from BowlerX before they ran out of stock
Then, I'm on BowlerX just trying to see what their price is on the Track300A and it was similar to all the other online stores...but when I went to their Clearance section...I saw 3-4 balls I REALLY wanted at the price they were selling them. I finally broke down and bought a Columbia 300 Encounter for about $59. That was about $80 cheaper than the nearest competitor and about $170 off original price.
So I was feeling good...but also some buyers remorse since I've amassed 3 balls in a short amount of time...all of which are sitting undrilled in my closet. :confused: But then I got a confirmation email from BowlerX saying I could take 5% off my next order. Out of curiosity, I looked back in my emailbox and it looked like I had gotten that 5% off deal after each purchase, but never bothered to really read it and apply it.
So, because there was still one ball in the clearance section that was at a really, really good price...I took a long shot and emailed BowlerX asking if in addition to the 5%, I could receive another $5.95 off which was the value of the 5% savings I hadn't taken on the last 2 purchases. They got back to my right away and said that it would no problem and they'd give me that ball for 5% off PLUS another $5.95 off.
So I'm very impressed. I like bowlingball.com better as an overall bowling site...it has a lot of cool features and I've ordered from them in the past, good service, good prices, quick shipping. But I have to say, BowlerX not only usually has the best prices on bowling balls...they were very gracious in allowing me to take essentially 12.5% off my purchase just because I was a loyal customer and took the time to ask. And all of my orders thus far have come quickly, I didn't pay shipping, and I've had no problems.
Now I have to STOP...because I'm starting to feel like a meth addict. I'm VERY tempted to go on there and get the Motive Raptor Attack or the Track 811se...but I have more bowling balls in my closet now than I'll use in the next 2-4 years....so I gotta stop. At least until they run a sale on the Brunswick Mystic Aura...my dream ball!! :cool:
