bowling.com has free shipping..

bowlersparadise.com obviously has cheaper prices - with their 19.99$ sells on some good High Performance bowling balls.

I would say they are about the same from what I have seen. I have noticed that the prices are a little different though. Bowling seems to have a little higher prices on some things, but they also have free shipping.

BP has lower prices, but they charge almost 20bucks to ship a bowling ball.

So I think in the long run you are going to spend about the same on the things that you buy. I prefer www.Buddiesproshop.com over the two that you mentioned.

I buy from Bowling.com all the time. Very fast shipping for me. I order one day its on my porch the next day. Got to love that. I know they ship from several different warehouses.
I haven't bought anything from bowlerparadise but I have to agree they got some good prices on stuff. Shipping seems kinda expensive though.

Yes, bowling has free shipping. Don't forget the $4.99 packaging fee though.

I don't know which is better, but free shipping is a plus and depending what State they are in and the person making the puchase is in, if they are different, you don't have to pay taxes.  I live in CA and buy my bowling balls from Buddiesproshop.com I believe their shop is in CT, so they have free shipping and I don't have to pay taxes.  So see where the internet shop you are purchasing the bowling balls from are located and if they are in your State, you might be better off looking for a shop out of State.

I agree with Greg T, bowlingball.com is better.

Oh wait, I work for them, what else would I say.

Really, people keep pointing out shipping costs vs free shipping.  Just make sure you compare apples to apples.  Just because a web site is offering free shipping, it just means that they are building the shipping into product costs.

Just put the product into your cart on the non free shipping sites, and look at the total costs.  Not to mention, some sites have a packaging fee on their free shipping site, that has to be taken into account.

I want to say thank you to everyone that has shown us support over the years.  We truly appreciate the business.
