Every business figures their cost and then sets a % of profit they want to make off their cost. Thesecosts include; Whole sale Price, Advertising, Storage,rent and shipping then they set a price that will give them the % of profit from their investment. Some will break it down, some figure it right into the cost of the item and advertise Free shipping and handeling THEY ARE NOT EATING THOSE CHARGES

 Great Discounters like Reeds, etc. buy close out lots and seconds in some cases so who knows how cheap they get em, not my concern not my business I get to enoy the discounts they offer, but do not think for a minute any of em is not in it for the $$$$$. Ain't no such thing as a free lunch in America!!!!!!!!

Enjoy

If you want to smack talk the lures do it in your head

Five bucks is cheap 8-)

That was my original post I guess some people can't read :

So this will be my last post for deals on what I think is a good deal that people might like.  

And Yes I meant if you didn't want the lures just think of it as five dollar shipping on everything else you buy.  

And even my Magabass lures needs tuned.  I would love to have a cheap 20 dollar lure that alway ran true ;D ;D ;D

Must be one of those special lures from K-Mart

PS Where does it say that it's $5.00 shipping for everything you order from BPS? Do you find out at check out? Thanks,

Standard minimum shipping charge is $4.95. When you look at your cart, it shows the purchase total, then shipping charges, then the bill total. I don't know what the exact scale is, but the more you spend, the higher the shipping charge, until you reach $12.95 in charges. From there, it remains $12.95 shipping, unless there are other charges like $6 for longer rods, or truck charges for heavy items, ect.... Those are seperate charges though, if you bought a $30 7 foot rod, it would have the $6 charge just like a $200 rod.

With this lure special, all you have to do is buy the $5 worth of lures, and your whole basic order is shipped free. I'm sure they still tack on the charges for oversized items and over weight items.

Sorry, but you will be charged shipping if you order other items with the 5 for $5 baits.  It will not show up in you cart at checkout or on the order form you can print at the end of the order.  But there is a note at the bottom of the order form printed "Additional funds may be required if additional shipping charges apply.  You will be notified if charges exceed $10.".

In my case I was paying with Reward Points and when I looked the next day, I saw they had added the additional shipping to the points they withdrew.  As always, there ain't no free lunch or free shipping!

It's not a good deal unless they are a good lures.

I suspect they are NOT!

"Great lures" are often on sale for less than five dollars, including tax.

Actually, Lew's lures are pretty good.  Their minnows and cranks (especailly the shallow runners) are very good.  The hooks are too small, though, so order some larger replacements.

Odd my order was 63 bucks and shipping was of course free!

No addition to my card or on the confirmation e-mail

I spoke to a service rep on friday about the 5 for 5 with free shipping.  She said there is a glitch in the system that will charge for the shipping but if you call them they will refund your 4.95 for shipping.  Kind of a moot point right now anyway as they were sold out.  She said to try back in a few days.

Man you try to help some people out and what do you get a bunch of monning and gronning. I think people can argue about anything. Just dont get it.

Not sure if this was addressed at me, but I was only informing people what happened in my case and that the shipping may not be free. But I will moan and groan about people that tend to jump out a little quick.

has anybody received their 5 for 5 yet? If you had what did you get. I am still waiting on mine. Hopefully it will arrive soon it has already been like 6 days.

I believe these are the same baits I recieved last year...these are on the small side...might work good pond fishing or river smallies..

I plan on giving mine to my kid which should make her very happy

Hey all....

One thing about BPS....

Even if you order from the catalog or online they are really slow. Too slow if you ask me. But they have many things online that they don't have in the Foxboro, MA store. They haven't re-stocked since they opened the store last fall. Very discouraging.

Also, the offer EXPEDITED shipping, for an additional fee of course. So if you don't pay the extra...expect 1 to 2 weeks. For the "free" offers...God only knows!!!
