OK, now its my turn to gripe!!

Well yesterday I got a letter in the mail from Marcus Lemonis that said they noticed that I have not yet purchased a cover for my RV (34" Fiver). They are correct and as it would happen I have been shopping for a cover of late. It went on to say that if I simply bring this letter to my local CW store I will get "special prices" on Adco covers because I'm a "VIP" Big Deal. I called the store nearest to us (over 50 miles away) and asked about this "special pricing" and was quoted about $379 plus tax for the Tyvec cover that would fit our trailer. After checking Amazon and a few other online sources I find that this price is not only NOT so special but it is HIGHER that I can purchase elsewhere. I guess Lifetime Membership doesn't get you all that much at CW.

When you go to your local CW just bend over and back in the door and they will be waiting there to "service" you.:R

I never buy anything from cw. They are always highest priced.

I stop by and check an item out....look at it, feel it, analyze it and make a decision on whether to buy or not.
If I decide to buy..then I order it from Tweetys, PPL, Adventure RV or elsewhere.

Thanks CW.

CW is Amazon's best showroom!

many years ago I found out I could get "stuff" cheaper at my local dealer than CW. AND I didn't have to join a club or pay freight to get my "stuff". I called CW and requested that they do not send me any more catalogs since I wasn't going to be buying from them any more. That was back in the 80's

[DutchmenSport]

Marketing. It worked. Backfired thou when you double checked else where. It's a gamble businesses do. I get fliers and offers for trade in for my car from gm. Go to the dealer and they have NEVER been able to actually give me the trade in advertised...specific for me. Switch and bait..maybe, but as consumers we DO need to do our due dilligence for the best deal...its a buyer's responsibility can't blame businesses for trying.

There is nothing at Camping World that can't be found at Amazon...for less money and with superior handling and shipping.

Want to hear something AMAZING?
Have been keeping an eye out for the Wheel Master 6780 Level and bracket kit. Cheapest price is on Amazon for $40.80. Bid on one on ebay for $30.00 and lost it at the last 3 seconds.

The flyer that CW sent out last week had the kit for $24.97, so of course, went on line to order it, and they wanted $9.95 shipping plus tax... Not!
BTW, also noticed that CW online price is the same if you are a member or not. That ticked me off.

But anyhoo, last Sunday, time to kill so stopped by CW Avondale. They actually had it in stock and OTD price was $27 and change.

I know, pretty completely amazing. I am still reeling about it! :B lol. So I cannot say ALWAYS less expensive somewhere else now. Go figure. What can I say... It's the little things in life. 🙂
( I know, I'm a goomba ):)

Oh, and thank you for the offer on the cover Marcus.

Because "you are my friend senior I give you special price"

[jandjbaums]

Yes you must be special, they checked your credit score and its great! Just like anything, you have to shop around and research everything.

Will be doing that, I'm real big at voting with my wallet. Just got off the phone with Tweetys and the same cover is going to cost me about 36$ less delivered to my gate, I don't have to even leave the house and burn that expensive diesel to get it, sorry Marcus.
