Hello guys, Where is the best place to buy Victor Champion shuttlecock in the US? The best place I found is Badminton Warehouse: http://www.badmintonwarehouse.com/category.html?UCIDs=868487 It is 18.95 for a tube plus shipping. Is this a good deal? Or is there any alternative place or shuttle which is as good or better? Thanks a lot.
Isn't buying from the net usually more expensive then going to specialty stores that carry lots of badminton equipment?
I'd suggest you check stores around you, but you might want to check this site out. www.leesbadminton.com They're based in Toronto and sell stuff at much more reasonable prices then the US online shops. Not the cheapest in toronto though but they sell online.... Another place that sells online is one I do not want recommend at all because of their poor customer service.... very rude bunch of know-it-all salesmen... which give wrong and misleading information. www.brownssports.com I suggest you get the victors from Lee's but if you absolutely want victor champs then get from browns. Remember... Lee's is 15 percent tax included but brownssports prices are before taxes!
IMO, buying from the net is way cheaper than getting it from the specialty stores. Especially in the place that lack of badminton supplies.
So what you think is that most Americans can just wander in to their local Badminton Supplies-R-Us mega stores and get whatever they want...., like they were ordering a Big Mac or picking up a six pack of Pepsi? Badminton is such a specialty sport in this country that I doubt there are more than a dozen or two shops that carry any significant quantity of badminton supplies that are not among the six or ten that do business online.
Louisville Badminton Supply carries the Victor Shuttles. The Champion is $17.95 dz., the Tourney is $15.95, the Gold is $14.95 dz., and the Silver is $13.95 dz. However, the Alpha feathered shuttle is excellent and more reasonably priced. The tournament model is $14.95, and the special model is $12.95.( this is the best $12.95 bird on the market !). contact: Louisville Badminton Supply 1313 Lyndon Lane, Suite 103 Louisville, Ky. 40222 Phone:502-426-3219 Fax : 502-426-9526 E-mail: Bnorton828@AOL.com
I have two tubes of the Victor Champion (Green) and one tube of the Victor Eagle (Blue) and you can have the lot (3 doz) for US$45.00 + shipping. Breakdown is Victor Green (US$16.00 each) and Victor Blue (US$13.00). Speed of the shuttles is 77 (N. America market). All tubes are new (i.e. still sealed). I don't use these birds anymore since I am using the Winex Tournament shuttles instead. Please PM me if you are interested.
