Is there any way to get any discounts? If so how do I go about doing that? Thx, your help is very appreciated

I have dealt with them in the past and I had no problem. I don't know of any discount or coupon but I think you can go to this site to save a little bit on the shipping : http://www.brandsforless.com/categor...lies11447.shtm . Too bad I found out about this after I ordered from them.

BTW, I believe you have to sign up and be a member. No fees involved.

retro,

the rack has been good to me for many years. countless tyres later, i still highly recommend them. if you of someone who is in auto accessory/parts business, he/she can open an account with the rack for further discount. however, my experience told me that for tyres, the margin is not as big as i had originally thought.

if you just order them privately as a retail customer, you save cal sales tax. btw, the s-03s are awesome tyres...

Yea, the S03's are awesome tires. I'm getting them on my 19s this friday. I talked to the tire rack guy, he said this is prolly the best tire out there, and the prices from them is not bad at all. I think for my 245/35/19 they were like 245 or something close. And the rears was 275/30/19 were like 261. So for top quality tires, these are very good prices.

Hi Neo! Man, its he second time you are giving me some super useful info How do I get the discount shipping with that site though?

gs4will, I can buy parts for my car as a dealer. I have a resale number and all that. Would that help? I get 20% discount on any parts anyway.

gsnav, could you reffer me to the person you will be dealing with? You can mention him/her that you can bring another customer and might get some cash off yourself

retro,

just call their toll free number and ask for its wholesale/dealer inquiry section. they will tell you the detailes of getting dealer prices...

Ok, I have called them up and they will not give me a dealers discount. Also I asked them if they would gimmi a discount if I bring more people who want to buy some wheels, but I had no luck. I will probably look for these tires around shops in San Diego.

Hi retro,

I think the shipping discount is some form of rebate after the purchase is made online thru their link. It is probably limited to about $20. I haven't used brandsforless for a while ( a year ago ) so I don't have updated info. You could e-mail their customer service or it might be listed under FAQ ( not sure).

I noticed the prices on the magazines' ads are a lot higher than the prices on the net. Can't figure out.

Also they do very good business, mine just got here 3 days after i placed the order.
