As some of you know, BoatFix added the Google Checkout option as an alternate to "standard" cart order processing because they were offering a $10 credit on any order processed through Google checkout by a new user. The $10 is right off the order total. For example, a guy last night bought some 3M adhesive for $14.52 plus $6.97 shipping for a total order of $21.49. Google paid $10 and he was only charged $11.49. I just received notice from Google that the promotion is ending on 5/15.
 
I used the Google checkout last month when I placed an order with Boatfix. It worked just as Les stated above. My invoice showed the $10.00 being subtracted right on the invoice (at checkout time).
 
Ditto. Can someone who has not yet used the $10 use it for the $19.95 membership fee? Does boatfix get the whole amount?
 
Bob, that is an excellent idea. You just got yourself a free Unlock card. While we'll have to juggle money between the two companies, it's a minor problem. It takes Google a few days to set up a new account so it's not worth setting up BoaterEd but we can process memberships through BoatFix. So, between now and the 15th, anyone who doesn't have a Google checkout account can subscribe to the forum for a net $9.95 and current subscribers can renew for two years for only $24.90.

Here's the link for new subscribers

Sweet deal. I just ordered a new ropechain anchor rode for the best price on the net and received the $10 discount. Looks like I'll take the $10 savings and get my anchor back so I can raise my blood pressure reading all the nonsense in the NBR forum.
 
i don't need to buy anything before 5/15 but i'll go ahead and let google subsidize my anchor.

great idea bob!
 
Used my gOOgle bonus for an extra break on a Sierra Fuel Pump that was already the best price I could find!
 
Wait, did Les just say he gave Bob a free anchor (Unlock card)?
 
No, the next time he gets booted off, he just has to email me his card and I'll unlock his account.
 
Oh, I see. Kind of like a "Get out of jail free" card.
 
Sounds like Bob just MIGHT ante up for an anchor at 1/2 price Watch out NBR! He'll need that unlock card pretty quick.
 
I'm saving the "free unlock card" for something GOOD...

P.S. I already took advantage of the $10 google thing with my bravo III prop tool.
 
Come on Bob buy an anchor! you know you want to and we you really are like family!...Jerry
 
Les - I just tried to checkout using the Boat Fix method, and the form would not let me enter my street address. It was deleting itself and the cursor was moving but no letters were appearing. FYI
 
Don't know what to tell you, Joe. I just tried it and it works fine for me. We've gotten a bunch of orders today so it seems to be working for other people as well. What browser are you running?
 
Restart your web browser Joe. That kind of problem is most likely on your end.
