Here's the deal on our pricing. Most manufacturers have an MSRP price on most every part. Many (well over 80% of them) also have what is known as a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price). In order to become a dealer of their brand, I have to sign a contract guaranteeing that I will honor their MAP. Failure to do so is painful -you go from an initial slap on the wrist, to a 30-90 suspension, to a full on ban. In fact, if you purchase a product from a dealer on the "Do No Sell List" most brands will refuse to honor their warranty. That is why I now am skeptical of many of the "deals" on Amazon and eBay. As my Dad used to say "If a deal is too good to be true, it probably isn't......either a good deal or true"
We sell at MAP period. We've tried to making our shipping as competitive as possible. I never understood the old adage "I lose a dollar on every item I sell, but I make it up on volume". We have a $7.99 shipping charge on orders for less than $100, it actually costs us more than that. We offer free shipping on all orders over $100, with the exception of "heavy items", which we define as items over 85 pounds. However, the Coupon Code "GLADIATORFREE" will waive that charge.
If you see an item (same brand and SKU) for less somewhere else, give us a chance to see if we can match it. We update our manufacturers data every week and its possible our system missed a pricing change. If it is not below the MAP price for that item, we will match the price and ensure free delivery regardless of the order size. Hopefully, everyone thinks this is a fair policy. Give us a chance we will do our best!
Thanks
