Dunlop Dual-Design Strap Locks, Nickel $7.99 or less

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys. I've been price matching these on Musiciansfriend.com for $7.40 w/free shipping. This is after a match and an extra 10% off the difference (during x-mas sale). I'm sure you could get them cheaper with music123.com.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...youngmusicshop

Btw, the CSR taking my 2nd order offered to try for alternate finishes (ie. black, gold, etc.), but her manager wouldn't let her. Doesn't hurt to try. =)

There are off-brand and generics selling for about $10.00 shipped, but this is the real deal and cheaper. I personally use these strap locks on all my basses. I have never had a problem with these even during crazy shows with my heavier basses. This is taking into consideration that I installed them myself.

Not really. Add $4.99 shipping to each one and you're over the $11.70 (w/ free shipping) Amazon sells them for:

http://www.amazon.com/Dunlop-Design-...ecc_rvi_cart_1

$11.49 and free shipping from Ace Photo.

Use the link I provided in first post. Here it is again.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...youngmusicshop


Call or email a competitor such as music123.com or musiciansfriend.com and ask them to price match this ad. I did it via email. MF price matched it and then added further savings of 10% off the difference. They also offer free shipping.

The price in your link is "$7.99 + $4.99 shipping"

Price + Shipping = Total charges

Price + Shipping ≠ Price...

Sorry to hear this. I've always included an "is it possible to price match said item along with your current "free shipping" promotion" in emailed questions. I haven't gotten a firm "no" yet.

Most of the bigger chains are willing to work with you granted you don't plan on buying a dozen for resale. The one smaller company I dealt with actually had the lowest advertised price. When I inquired about free shipping (and they abliged), I offered to buy 2 items.
