Just got confirmation today that this sale will be on again from May 16/17th.

I will post more details and coupons as I receive them.

Below is the lowres coupon, I will post the High Res version when I receive it

[AzNightmare]

Maybe should bump this thread in May...

[skiiipi]

Yea I know its still 2 Months away, but a lot of members have been pm-ing me asking about when our next sale is.
So now I guess you guys can save your big purchases for this sale.

I will post the coupons when the event date gets closer (probably 2 weeks out is when I will get the coupon)

[Ludepower]

Cant you post this in a different section or dedicated thread?

These sales come regularly and the prices aren't that much better.

[twitchyzero]

should i expect dirt cheap snowboards or will i be disappointed

[skiiipi]

You'll probably be disappointed cause most store wont have snowboards out in the middle of may :(

Actually these sales only come 2-3 time per year, and it is probably the best sale sportchek runs, better than boxing day........many RS'ers wait until the Friends/Family sale to do their shopping at sportchek.

[skiiipi]

Bump....so just bout 1 month away, I will hopefully have the coupon in a couple of weeks....i guess start planning

Can't see this one being any different

[SumAznGuy]

Darth,

Which Tone stick are you looking for? I may be able to get you one cheaper than the F&F price.

[411ken]

For these sales, does it include Nevada Bobs?

[ntan]

Are Oakleys also included in these sales? I assume this is the best way to get a deal on them?

[murd0c]

Ok I need hockey gear so I think it's finally time to get what I need.

[Tim Budong]

Darth,

[RiceIntegraRS]

[skiiipi]

[blee123]

[skiiipi]

[m3thods]

Any way HX sells the Reakt a day early? I read that release is May 18th, and I'd REALLY like to compare it to the E700 and buy on the 17th :(

[skiiipi]

unfortunately not
failing to follow a launch day may result in us losing our ability to carry any bauer product in the future.

[m3thods]

damn.. I guess I'll drop by at the next one :okay:

[pastarocket]

Coupon posted

[iwantaskyline]

How busy is it on these sale days? Should I go early?

[moomooCow]

Can any of the team assist offers be combined with this sale?

[bigzz786786]

hmm they have a golf set i was looking at for 599, thats about 500 after tax

[Aetios]

Can we just show them the coupon on the phone or do we have to give them the printed out coupon?

[TheKingdom2000]

Can we just show them the coupon on the phone or do we have to give them the printed out coupon?

I've shown it on my phone before.
But, I guess ymmv?

[skiiipi]

How busy is it on these sale days? Should I go early?

Not necessary to go early unless your after certain items like Pro V1s which usually gets bought out first thing in the morning, usually by the same few guys that comes buys all of them.

same goes for badminton birdies...the asians just come and buys every single mavis 300 we have in blue caps

if you are after a particular size of a "high end" product, might be worth it to go in early

Can any of the team assist offers be combined with this sale?

no unfortunately not, you can still scan your team card, and what ever purchase you make will count towards your year end 'rebate' (so basically like an additional 5%, but deferred)

Can we just show them the coupon on the phone or do we have to give them the printed out coupon?

ymmv, most stores dont care...but some stores "track" where the coupons came from, so they'll want a printed copy

[Hide625]

[skiiipi]

YMMV on this one
I've always been okay with smart phones
but some stores "track" and keep the hard copy coupons

[skiiipi]

No exclusion on the coupon
so save 25% off regular priced bikes and save 10% on bikes that are already on sale

[SB7]

you can only choose one item right? Or can you buy something.. Come back an hour later or go to metro location?

[PornMaster]

is it for ONE item or entire purchase?

need to buy hockey equipment for little brother and this would help a lot

[Simplex123]

thanks!

I asked my friend who works at the Richmond Centre store and he said it's fine if you show them on your phone. They just need to scan the coupon.

[skiiipi]

Its for as many item as you want

Entire purchase

I asked my friend who works at the Richmond Centre store and he said it's fine if you show them on your phone. They just need to scan the coupon.

I know 1 manager that will for sure give you a hard time with smart phone coupons @ the richmond location
again, ymmv depending on manager

[shawnly1000]

Are there still skis/snowboads on sale? If so, will this coupon be applicable with them?

[G-spec]

damn I'm lucky to have a cousin who works at sport chek and gets me 50% off on any item in store.... usually spend a few hundred bucks a year buying sporting goods and I save so much

employees who work there have some sick discounts that they can extend to family & friends

[CL typeS]

No exclusion on the coupon

its like 2 posts above....

[skiiipi]

Are there still skis/snowboads on sale? If so, will this coupon be applicable with them?

Only 3 stores that still have ski/snowboard equipment out is Kelowna, Metropolis and Park Royal
And yes coupon applies...likely 10% additional, as most snowsports equipment are on sale (except for goggles...which doesn't go on sale often)

[skiiipi]

Why does this thread always gets moved out of VOT?!?
I'm sure more members will see it and potentially benefit from this in VOT...

[AzNightmare]

Hey skiipi, kind of last minute, and I don't know what department you work in, but does sportchek sell the Puma v5.11 IN (or IT) soccer shoes?
(They're yellow and purple, rubber sole for indoor soccer)

http://a2.zassets.com/images/z/1/6/9/8/1/2/1698120-p-DETAILED.jpg

I know they have cleat versions of that shoe, and I called a few places but the staff said they don't carry indoor soccer shoes.
I could have sworn I saw them at a Sportchek though...

[woob]

Which SportChek has the best selection of waterproof jackets (Arcteryx, TNF, etc.)?

[skiiipi]

Which SportChek has the best selection of waterproof jackets (Arcteryx, TNF, etc.)?

Park Royal, Metropolis, Richmond, pacific centre
In no particular order.

[skiiipi]

Which SportChek has the best selection of waterproof jackets (Arcteryx, TNF, etc.)?

Actually for Arcteryx in particular
I would say
Metropolis > Park Royal > Pacific Centre > Richmond
TNF, those 4 stores should have similar selection

[SumAznGuy]

Skiipi,

Are you working today? Wife said I can come buy and by a new helmet and visor/cage for hockey while she goes shopping. Yay!!!!

[pastarocket]

No indoor court badminton shoes at Sportchek at Metrotown. -got good service from the sales dudes who checked inventory for Yonex shoes for all stores. Online shopping for me. :tantrum

[Nvasion]

goin richmond center on at 5 today

[TRDood]

Indoor badminton shoes are cheapest at Tad's, even with the 25% off discount at Sportschek.

Pay cash.

Richmond should have a decent selection of yonex badminton shoes if I rmb correctly

[skiiipi]

Skiipi,

Yes I am, till 9
Sorry for late response
Didn't check thread untill now

[SumAznGuy]

Thanks Skiipi. I was there around 8:30 but you guys were out of the S19 helmets. I saw they had some in Richmond. What do you think of this helmet?

[Santofu]

Any size small north face hoodies available? or perhaps shorts as well?

[skiiipi]

Thanks Skiipi. I was there around 8:30 but you guys were out of the S19 helmets. I saw they had some in Richmond. What do you think of this helmet?

Great if they fit u
Due to the 1 piece design, adjustability is limited
So if it doesn't fit u perfcectly, its not good.
The 11K is almost as light, but offers way more adjustability.
I'm waiting to see the Re-akt before I decide on a new helmet
I personally like the 11K the best so far.

[Nvasion]

skiipi which guy are you? the east indian young guy?

[skiiipi]

skiipi which guy are you? the east indian young guy?

I'm asian....lol don't think that helps

[SumAznGuy]

I just remember there was that tall asian guy who was helping an asian kid and his mum with helmets.
He seemed somewhat insightful though he said he hadn't worked in a while and wasn't sure what was coming in in the near future. =(

[hotjoint]

Gonna go to sportchek today after work and check out some bikes. Budget is $200 :)

[Nvasion]

didnt see you there yesterday skiipi. i was there at 6pm holding my warrior stick looking for a blade

[wingies]

Any chance or idea when they might drop the prices on more of the clearance bikes? If they do that at all

[sas]

man, i almost missed out on grabbing my UA gear.. Though this would be in VOT

[SumAznGuy]

Thanks Skiipi. I ended grabbing an 11K helmet. It fits really well. Even better than my current 6K.
And I managed to find some UA stuff that was already marked down.

I think I saw you at Metro. I was there around 5 pm in the blue shirt.

I am off today, I just got to the store around now to see how we finish off the event.
I usually wear a name tag, my name is Barry

[Gumby]

Thanks - picked up 2 Helly Hansen jackets (will return 1)!

[m3thods]

I know the last one just ended, but any ballpark figure date as to when to expect the next one?

I just tried on the Re-Akt, and it was the worst mistake of my life. Now I can't stop thinking about it (or the price tag) :okay:

Tried one on today too and I am very impressed with the comfort and the fit. Maybe at the next F&F sale... pretty sure all the other retailers carrying this product won't discount it.

Yes, but a hockey helmet is not considered footwear or apparel
Team assist coupons are the cloest thing to friends and family.
Almost as good, except for the big hardgoods purchaes, but if u get the 5% kickback + the 20% off coupon, its almost the same

How it works is when u and your team buys stuff, ask the cashier to scan your team card first. At the end of the calendar year, the office will see how much your team spent total at sportchek, and give you 5% kickback onto a giftcard for future "team" purchases.

Problem is, many people abuse this program and sign up for this by themselves without an acutal team, and get 30 sets of coupons all to themselves.some revisions are coming, ie a team much spend $1000 a year or smth like that to qualify for program....not hard for a real team of 15+ players, but more of a challenge for 1 individual.

Thanks. I guess that means I need to be patient and have a brand new helmet for next season :ahwow:
