Cleaned them out of 021 and 297 Flappin' Hogs on Friday morning. Needed them before this Friday, so I paid $5 for the quicker shipping option. They shipped Friday afternoon with an estimated delivery date of 7/7.
I'm outside in the yard this afternoon and see a UPS truck stop in the driveway. Out walks the delivery guy with a Tackle Warehouse box. Yep, the package made it from CA to here on a holiday weekend in basically one full business day.
I'd love to see BPS do that. I've paid them for two day shipping and waited three or four days for the order to even ship.
Yep, Tackle Warehouse pwns all.
i love them too. I ordered twice this week...
So I guess you dont need me to find you some up here before the weekend?
15% off everything virtually every other holiday isn't bad either.
Quote15% off everything virtually every other holiday isn't bad either.
just curious is 15% usually as high as they go for sale discounts?
ive only used TW about 3 times thus far,
but needless to say, im a believer...... it perfect everytime.
and free t shirts on the higher orders are nice as well.
I've oreded on Thurs, and had my stuff by Friday..gotta love TW..
Have never seen a sale with more than a 15% discount..not to say it's never happened though.
TW is awesome. Especially the free shipping and $10 for overnight shipping, that is really awesome!
Later,
I've had good experiences with tw. Ordered twice, and both times my order was shipped within a few hours.
Where have you been, under a rock? TW has always come through for me on the shipping. May you and your Flappin' Hawgs tear'em up.
Tackle Warehouse has always been a class-act.
Whenever I'm ready to place a tackle order, I always check their website first.
If TWH doesn't don't carry it, then BPS wins by default.

Put in my order yesterday to get the 15% off. Now I've got to make room for all the new goodies. Cant wait to try the NetBait Mad Paca - a Brush Hog type bait that I got 10 bags of.
I just started ordering from TW this year and have been extremely happy with my orders! I goofed up on my memorial day sale order (didn't get the discount) and emailed their customer service. They credited my account with the discount I would have received! There are very few items they don't carry that I have to look somewhere else. But overall, TW ROCKS!!!
TW + UPS = 8-)
QuoteYep, Tackle Warehouse pwns all.
i agree. i have gotten every shipment before the estimated arrival time. no other fishing supply store can touch tw.
QuoteSo I guess you dont need me to find you some up here before the weekend?
My 'clean out' was one package of 021 and three packages of 297. If I get into them tonight, I'll probably be running on empty again.
I order on Mon it arrives Wednesday afternoon, international ! can 't beat that.

I think this was the first time I've sprung for the fast shipping. I placed an order on the previous Friday, the regular ground shipping got it here in a week, which is usual for them. No complaints there though, at least I know when it ships.

No, sometimes I have seen them go as high as 20% off.
Prices and selection are great..... EXCEPT... on the order I just placed 5 out of the 13 items were out of stock / backordered. Its nice their shipping is fast but it dosn't matter if they don't have it. Ive come to find this a nagging problem with TW on more than one occaision. I can see rare or larger items but not the small packages of popular plastics etc. Your very hard pressed to find out of stock items at BPS. It also stated at the bottom of my statement that your order will not be shipped until all items are ready and off of back order? So does this mean they make you wait until your two packs of worms come in before they ship the other $300 worth of stuff? May have misread that but if so, theres another area BPS has them beat- they will send whats not back ordered and send a seperate order later. Like I said though, great prices on alot of stuff.

Ive had many things that were backordered from them. They have always shipped the rest of my items with their usual promptness, and the backordered items when they arrive.
They once paid 4.75 to priority mail me 1 package of owner hooks that I didnt even realize were backordered. C L A S S !
QuoteYour very hard pressed to find out of stock items at BPS.
You must not have much experience ordering from BPS.
QuoteQuoteYour very hard pressed to find out of stock items at BPS.You must not have much experience ordering from BPS.
Not really- order quite a bit of stuff from there actually... all items that were back ordered from TW I went and found on BPS no problem. For example, one was a rod. Just a nothing specail normal St. Croix casting for my dad. Same price. Why on earth would you carry not enough rods to run out? I found several back ordered on TW and all in stock on BPS. Same with a few Yamamoto, Zoom, Spro, and Rage products. I realize all retailers will have some out of stock, you can't get away from that. I was just stating it happens 3:1 to me on TW compared to BPS.

Good deal, the way it read my whole order would not have shipped until the 28th because of the back orders which kind of scared me. Glad to know they do the same.
QuoteQuoteYour very hard pressed to find out of stock items at BPS.You must not have much experience ordering from BPS.
Yeah, I have had much more trouble with BPS and backorders than TW.
Let's compare the backorder procedures of BPS and TW.
If an item is on backorder at BPS, they don't know when it will be in stock. They have an approximate ETA, but it is never right. When they finally get the item in stock, they charge you again for shipping the item.
If an item is on backorder at TW, the ETA will be listed on the website and it is usually spot on. When the item is stocked, it is shipped immediately and, if the original order was over $50, for free.
I have had BPS automatically cancel backordered items two weeks after I placed the order. When I called to inquire about the cancellation, no explanation was given, only an apology and an offer to order the item at the non-sale price.
One must consider the size of TW and the size of BPS. Yet TW consistantly offers better prices and deals than BPS. TW's free shipping alone is reason enough to not patronize any other retailer.
Yes, TW does go out of stock on items often. Mostly during the summer months when everyone is fishing. I ordered a Mustang PFD from TW in February. It was out of stock. I waited around five weeks for the item to be restocked and shipped. It wasn't a big deal. They were (and still are) $60-70 cheaper than any other retailer on that item.
If you're in dire need of an item and it is out of stock, then I can see being somewhat miffed. But if you needed it that badly, why did you wait so long to order it?
I was disappointed when TW only had one bag of 021 Flappin' Hogs in stock last week. But it isn't the end of the world. I have the option of ordered directly from Yamamoto or just doing without. It isn't TW's fault that they're out of stock. If anything, they are a victim of the quality of their service.
Tackle Warehouse is second to none in the tackle business.

If an item is due to arrive within a week of your order, they will usually hold the shipment until it arrives. Otherwise the order will ship and backordered items will be shipped upon their arrival.

That, on top of the already insane shipping prices and time it takes to even get the order processed.
BPS sucks fecal matter.Sorry if others don't agree.
Also, don't you think that you should be charged less for more you buy?
BPS is ****e. I'm sticking with TW.
:
I've only had one glitch with them where something was listed as in stock but was back-ordered for all of 2 days. Great company with the customer in mind; hope they don't change other than keeping a larger stock.
Everyone has a opinion. I order thru BPS all the time. Some orders I have had upgraded for 2 day shipping at the cost of 5$. The next day I get a e-mail that my stuff is on the way and I recieve it in 2 days.
I have used TW just a couple times. Here is my last expierience with them. I ordered some stuff the spring before last. I recieved some of my order, the rest was backordered. I forgot about the backorder items. I moved in July. A month or 2 after my move I recieved some more of my order. The rest was still backordered. Sometime that winter I recieved a nice letter that they were sorry they could not fill my order and credited me back the items I did not recieve.
Kudos to TW though.....I completely forgot about the order and could of been out the $$$ too and they refunded it back to me.
just curious at what dollar amount do they give away their free t-shirts?
Quotejust curious at what dollar amount do they give away their free t-shirts?
I am guessing over $150 or so! I ordered a new Powell rod at $169 and got one. Than ordered some lures at $68 and didn't!
I've hads about 7 or 8 different orders from TW in the past 2 years and they have been absolutley amazing.
One time one of the guides on my crucial rod was broken they offered to replace the rod (but seeing as though I live in Canada and have all my shipments sent to my sis in NY then re-shiped to me under ''gift'' in canada i said it wans'T worth the trouble) they happily paid to fix the guid no questions asked.
Their customer service is beyond first clas.

TW rocks! I bought a rod, and some lures from them around fathers day. Three days later my order arrived and they still gave me free shipping with a multiple order ship. I will buy stuff from BPS sometimes, but only if I am in the area of one ( The nearest BPS is 1.5 hrs. away), but will only order from TW and Cabelas online in that order.
