How Does Black Friday Shake Out for Hammock Equipment?

**goober** · 10-12-2014, 11:12

I'm new to hammocking so I'm wondering what kind of BF sales the hammock industry comes up with.

Specifically, has there been much sales action for Underquilts in the past?

There will be sales. Keep an eye out for Hammock Gear's sale.

Check out Jacks Are Better. They hold monthly sales which are pretty good.

Oh yea, REI does black friday, which are pretty good deals. They like to focus on seasons that already happened, but what ever, you can get it and use it the following year. I am not sure about Any Mountain, but they do have some pretty sweet deals.

That's when I picked up my WBBB and superfly

Up to now, quite a few vendors on this forum did Black Friday sales and discounts. A good way of not missing anything is signing up for daily notification for the subforums of the vendors you're interested in, and - if they have it - also sign up for newsletters on the vendors' websites.

I got my underquilt from Under Ground Quilts that way. A LOT of people ordered, which meant longer wait times. I'm not waiting this year for my top quilt, gonna beat the rush and the cold.

We will be having our Annual BF sale, as mentioned the wait will become extended even with the additional help we hire in the shop. Just the shear volume of orders will make for a 5-6 week wait time. Now if can you order the minute the sale starts you can beat most of the wait but if you wait until the last hours you'll be near the back of the line.

For fairness to all customers during BF sale we can not honor any requested need dates, it wouldn't be fair to those waiting in line for a last minute shopper to be bumped to the front.
