Buyer FAQs
- Are you a reputable dealer?
Yes, we are, and here's why: a] in business for over 60 years, b] 4.9/5 stars on Google Reviews and 90% Recommend on Facebook,
and c] we love serving customers because that what Bud would want! Do we have occasional hiccups? Yes, probably. We deployed a new website in July 2024 (you're on it) and are still
working out some of the bugs, and we are still working on making sure that we have real-time inventory tracking (so you can know for sure if an item is truly 'in-stock'). But we
seldom see other issues, and our customers are generally quite happy they buy from Bud's Bait.
- Can I get a discount?
We're a retail outlet, but we do have occasional sales! In particular, you can see current in-store sales on the
home page's revolving banners, and you don't want to miss annual sales like the Customer Appreciation Sale at the Carthage Location
on the first weekend of October, or our Black Friday/Saturday Sale in November. We are also working on adding sales to our website; in the future you may receive a Coupon Code,
or see product listed with this (or a similar) badge: 
- How much are shipping costs?
We charge a flat shipping cost of $6.74 on orders under
$50. Orders of $50 & up ship free, with a few exceptions: some
items can't be shipped, such as live baits, very long rods (over 7'6"), bulky coolers and heavy boat anchors or orders that are mostly weights/sinkers,
and the like. We suggest you call if you want to inquire about the possibility of having these items delivered.
- I found something wrong with the website!
We appreciate bug reports, because we can't fix what we don't know is broken!
Please contact us here with details.
