Decided to get more Battlefoam. Where is the best deal?

Post by vurumai »

After buying my first Battlefoam case, I am addicted. My problem is the cost. I know it is the best but how can I get it for less than retail. I know that I could wait to trade for it here, but I am a little more impatient than that. I know that some local retailers stock their product but that prevents me form getting custom trays.

Is there a way of getting custom foam at less than retail plus shipping? Barring that, what is the cheapest way to get a bag and is that really the smartest way to do it. It seems like BF gives a better deal if oyu order a bag full of foam rather than try to piecemeal it.
1. Every PM deserves a timely response.
2. Everyone has a busy life but anyone should be able to respond to a PM within 24 hours.
3. Lowest rating ships or pays first unless specifically otherwise arranged.
4. Lowest rating leaves Reference first.
5. No international deals unless agreed to explicitly in PM.
6. Everything ships with tracking. Items of sufficient value should be insured by the shipper.

I think you've answered your own questions, honestly.
I've purchased from them a few times. My experience is as follows:

If you can wait, buy at Black Friday. I know it's a long time from now, but they offer GREAT deals at that point.
Also, if you're buying cases AND foam, plan ahead and invest the time to do it right. Custom build every possible tray you need that will fit in the case. Custom trays are more expensive than the stock trays when bought separately but, if you get them as part of the bag, they're no extra charge.

If you can't wait for then, sign up for their newsletter. While I don't receive it, they advertise that they send coupons out in it. So, you can get a discount there, at least.

Lower rating? You ship first.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

I get the newsletter, and I can't say I have ever received a coupon in it. I think they have another sale though other than Black Friday, but I can't remember when they run it during the year. Alternately, there are a few resellers out there. Discount Games sells at retail but has free shipping over $50, so you can usually save there. You can't get the custom trays, but all the precuts are available. When I ordered my Black Friday order direct, the shipping pretty much ate my whole discount anyway!
If I forget to post a reference for you, please let me know!
If you are not going to post a reference for me, please explain why, maybe I can fix it!

They also do discounts at live events like templecon. So if u are planning on attending one in the future and can wait till then that is also an option. Iirc i also got free shipping since they dont carry that much stock at shows and i had to wait for them to get back to base to send my bag.
