Did West Marine change their price-match policy?

Well I found out the WM at Friday Harbor WA does no longer match prices!


That's because the store was CLOSED as in shut down!!

"Creative Destruction"!

I view WM as a last resort when buying boat supplies. Their discount for their highest level pro account is much lower than their retail prices and I’m sure they are not losing any money on the pro accounts. Sometimes WM on sale items are a pretty good price, but when will the item come on sale. WM free shipping on orders over a certain amount is good unless you live in Alaska like I do 7 months of the year, where WM shipping is no longer free but understandable.
Bottom line is I have determined for myself that WM retail on most items is a rip-off.
Friend of mine told me “for as much as we spend on these boats they should give them to us for free”. Boating is good for the economy that’s for sure.
