Reels-Express is having a 40% off website launch. Some good deals on popular reels. Curado $102. Stradic Ci4 $126

LINK

Disclaimer: I have no idea whether or not this site is legit. My cousin sent it to me. I ordered a Curado with a CC. If it’s not legit I’ll tell my CC company it is fraudulent. Worth a shot.

I'm always broke when y'all post this stuff. Just got back from vacation + a lot of unexpected expenses lately. I need a couple new bass reels though.

Doesn't seem legit. From what I understand, they don't have much markup on a lot of those brands. They would be losing a TON of money.

I think I have a better shot at my drake pullover eventually coming in.

The OB Bargain Range of Emotions...

First there's "That's a crazy good deal, I really want that Curado K for $102, placing order now, thanks OB."

Followed by "Surely that's a scam, I'll sit this one out so I don't have to bother with getting my money back."

Finishing with "What if it's not a scam and I'm truly missing out on a great bargain?"

I just went through this exact scenario in my head


It’s not worth having credit card info stolen.

I cycled through that 4 times already.

This is usually my thoughts. Luckily, I'm in no need for a new reel, because I'd be jumping on that Daiwa Fuego CT for $40 real quick.

From another fishing forum with this same thread.

quote:

This is a Shopify website. I will almost guarantee that this site is using an app like Oberlo to plug these items in from a source like Aliexpress.com. I've made and seen hundreds of dropshipping websites. This looks identical to 99% of them.

Just doing a quick search on Aliexpress.com I can see a few Curado K's for this price range (LINK ). Plus, vendors that use apps like Oberlo will generally get a lower price to have these products plugged into their site.

Generally speaking, this is why the orders take longer to arrive. You place the order on Reels-Express.com. They submit the order to the vendor (99% of the time they're in China). China will ship the product which takes time. After looking at the Whois of the domain "Reels-express.com", it was registered on 7/19/2018. You can build a site like this in a few hours. Since their shipping times state 7-15 days, that gives them that amount of time to make sales before customers start to complain about non-authentic items and Shopify doesn't allow them to process sales any longer.

With that being said, I could be wrong and everyone that ordered may be getting epic deals on authentic products...which I truly hope is the case!! However, I wouldn't touch this website with a 10ft pole. Just my 2 cents

I really want a $100 Stradic.

* The site says to already expect delays in shipment due to demand. Seems pre-emptive and likely that they will continuously have "delays" and product will never ship.

I came across this forum from a few days ago after googling it. one person says they got a shipping confirmation from their order. Still seems risky but it may be worth a small gamble. That being said im not risking it!

Just sign up for Ebay notifications. I get 15%-20% promo codes all the time. I bought a Curado K 8.5:1 for $112 a couple of weeks ago.

I second that recommendation of eBay

I ordered a cell phone last week and used the 20% promo code in the email to take $50+ off

Damn, i just read this whole thread after work and didn't realize the website was a knock off. I guess i'll keep y'all updated on what happens with the reels.
