At this time we haven't reinstated any forum discounts unfortunately. It was something we ran for quite a while and we're not sure if we're going to reinstate honestly.
One reason is because of our military/leo discount. We can't really afford to offer a military discount above 5% store-wide in combination with free shirts, free shipping at $90, etc. We feel that the military/leo discount should be a 24x7 discount that is something better than anyone off the street can get with a quick google search.
We don't feel a 2-3% discount would tickle most customer's fancy due to it being such a minute amount in the grand scheme of things and thus we're kind of stuck where to go from here. We honestly spent hours a day babysitting orders with forum discounts.
Even if the discount said "MD Residents Only" we'd still get guys from California using it, for example. Then we have to go spend extra time and labor to rectify the situation while trying to stick to our guns, figuratively speaking.
Agreed. I'm buying AR build parts from JoeBob as well and am more than satisfied with their price & service. I just wish they carried a few more items I can't find in their inventory, but most things I've been able to score.
