    It's a touted 45% for Lifetime Members, but watch out. Their accounting method takes the first 35% off of the original price and then 10% off of the balance which if you follow my logic, Does Not reflect a true 45% off sale! Just noting this because I realized it on a recent purchase. Kinda pissed me off really. Seems a bit underhanded to me.

    Worked one summer for my dad as an industrial equipment manufacturer's rep. This "double discount" was fairly common. OK,I guess if you follow the rules. It's actually a 41.5 % discount, which still is not too bad, just creative/deceptive accounting.

    As much as I love the Rodder's journal and my lifetime subscription I have to say, what use is a sale when everything you look at and would like to order is sold out.

    I’ve been trying to buy a couple of shirts and a maroon jacket as well as a Cl***ic style hat (not flex fit) for almost a year now and they’re always out of stock.

    Seems I always miss any time they restock because it’s likely times when I’m focused on something else or it’s not a good time to order.

    I’m starting to wonder if it’s even worth trying anymore.

    As I said what use is a sale when the shelves are almost always empty.

    True, but I make it a general rule not to buy advertising products to wear. Free, fine, I'll wear your stuff, but I don't get why I should have to pay you to advertise your company?

    Hey everyone,

    Just wanted to chime in here. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. As you may have noticed, this was our first time trying a new software that allowed us to give a general discount without coupon codes. People have had difficulties with codes in the past, and we were trying to make things a little easier on you as well as our Customer Service team. Just like any new install, this one wasn't without its hiccups.

    That being said, it wasn't our goal to be deceitful or underhanded. Instead, we just wanted to give you a good deal while clearing space in our warehouse for new 2020 products—including TRJ #83. We've been hard at work trying to fix the coupon, and it appears that now Lifetime Members can use their LIFE10 code in conjunction with the existing 35% discount for a total of 45% off. We're sorry for any difficulties this may have caused.

    Per usual, feel free to give us a call if you're having problems with our site. We're here to help.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    The TRJ Team

    ........................Yeah, I called and complained about the accounting discrepancy and the fact that the Black, Lifetime Member Tee that I ordered wasn't as shown on the website. It's been corrected now on the website, but I had waited over a year until it was again available, only to find that it was screen printed on front not back as shown. Yeah, I'm picky like that. I wear the shirt, but the accounting issue is what gives me pause to order anything again as my phone complaint pretty much went unresolved........:mad:....Don.
