LOVE and Hate the "buy $50 and get free shipping" thing.

if I was smart, I would start a list.  list tackle I need to buy, and when I get to a threshold, say $50 buy it.

 

but nope.  I buy when needed and add stuff to get the the $50.  not good. :D

Yep.  As a kid, It was  exciting when I had to fill out the BPS order form and mail it in.  Had to use my parents CC or get a money order.  $50 was a sizable order!

Hey, order from AliExpress for really cheap shipping, I mean it might take 3 weeks to arrive and it might be a copy of something Japanese or American but the price is right! 🤣😂🤣

It doesn't bother me. There's always something I can add to get to $50, and I do keep a list of items around that I always need, or look at my log of lures that I'm getting low on (always keitech paddletails!). I look at it this way, BPS, TW, Midway, DSG, Academy all need to make money to keep the lights on. If I have to buy a little more to have them around, no sweat.

I have Omnia Pro just for the free shipping. I think it's $50/year. 

 

 

I still have wish lists on TW that I will build up and it always well over $50 by the time its added up.

Thats a nice haul! Since youre in the same area how fast does a order get to you after placing it or do you normally go pick it up?

I could go pick it up - but sometimes I'm just lazy and don't want the 1/2hr each way drive...so have them mail it.

 

3 days if the order isn't in by 1pm, 2 days if it is.

Since I basically only order from TW I build wish lists. Then when I get to a point that I need something on the list I move it all to my cart and order.

I used to pay for it when it was $29.. It stop making sense to me when I figured they always have limited stock and ended up using TW all of the time anyway. 

I didn't feel that pro was worth $50, not even with the app. 

But you get a free tackle warehouse sticker!!!! lol seriosuly I’ve been playing with my cart on line for three days lol

I agree.  I will go on TW to replace $20  bait I lost.  Then I realize it would be cheaper to buy $50 and get the free shipping.  I then end up with $100 of tackle.  I find it impossible to hit the $50 mark.  Another dealer has free shipping on $100 orders.  I try and hit the $100 price and it always comes out $200.  I am not sure why this happens, but I suspect the Bait Monkey is responsible.

I got a free reel for signing up.  Love the free shipping, even for 3 packs of plastics like I did the other day.

“Hmm…do I NEED another pack of Senkos? Do I?”

If it's TW, I'd always get to $150 so I'd get the free t-shirt. Explains why I could use a dedicated dresser just for all my TW shirts. Also explains why I have so many lures I don't even use. 😅
