Default -Cheap Tackle Storage-

I recently bought (at Lowe's) several Plano ProLatch 3730 Stowaway boxes. These are deep. And they'll hold lots of tackle in an organized fashion.

I spent $6.48 each at Lowe's. This is the cheapest that I've found for these type of storage boxes.

I actually found them cheaper yesterday at a Meijer store. I bought a few more that were priced @ $5.99. These are the big and deep trays.

Dicks sporting good has 4 packs for $9.99 I've been pretty happy with them. It's a shame the US made ones are $7-8/each.

Thanks for the info. I'll be going there later today.

But the "best price" is still on EBAY. The guy only wants $15 and he is so generous he gives free shipping. What a deal.

Thumbs up Plano Customer Service

I missed going to Lowe's because a friend came over.

BUT, it worked out to my advantage. This is about the Pro Latch 3730.

I had sent Plano and email that Dick's web site listed the country of origin for Plano product as China.

In the email, I mentioned that I have been buying Plano products since the mid 60's and my Dad had been a customer since their first plastic tackle box came out in the 50's. After seeing on Dick's web site that Plano was a made in China product, I questioned if this was an error, because I thought that Plano was as loyal to their employees as customers are to Plano. And I asked them if they could confirm that this was still true.


Below is the reply.

First of all...... we want to THANK YOU for bringing this to our attention. You have just informed us of something we were not aware of. We have checked Dick's website and found that many of our product 'Made in the U.S.A' products are listed as made in China. We thank you for bringing this to our attention. One of our top salesman are having a meeting today with Dick's and bringing this error to their attention.

Please note, this product and many others are 'Made in the U.S.A' they are listed incorrectly on their website.... we apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused you.

I will be happy to send you a case pack of these 3730 to you at no charge for bringing this to our attention and helping us provide correct information to our customer.


Please send me (if you like) your mailing address so I can send you your 3730 stows at no charge.

Thank you, Customer Care Specialist - Lela

JignPig Guide, I'll give some serious thought to sending you one. But I have a lot of stuff to reorganize. Strange thing is I was going to ask Lowe's if I could get a price break if I bought a case.

Thinking

Seriously Thinking

Still at it

Just a little more

Aw darn, I forgot what I was thinking about.

It is a pain to be older than dirt.
