So far Ive ordered the most from DiscGolfCenter.com. They have great customer service, free shipping and I like th ability to pick color and weight. Ive also racked up a tab with them so my savings are actually amounting to something ;)
Today I put my first order in with Prime discs ... so Ill let you knwo how they are ... I also liked how I was able to pick color and general weight on there and the free shipping was a plus.Im gonna try to figure out how the Prime points works later.

+1.

I like being able to pick my weight and color. Picking my color is important to me because I have difficulty seeing red discs on the green grass. As mentioned by valkyriefb11, I am also earning "reward points" for future purchase discounts. Free and reasonable fast shipping, what's not to like?

Disc Golf Center. Out of 7 or 8 orders from them, their on-line inventory was only wrong once. They called the same day, let me choose another disc and still shipped the order on time. Hard to beat the low price/free shipping combo. I really like the specific weight/color choice and the discounts really do add up over time.

Another vote for DiscGolfCenter.com (http://www.discgolfcenter.com/). Not only do they let you pick the color and weight, they have a HUGE inventory. Not to mention the best prices and free shipping...

"gottagogottathrow.com" They always have what I am looking for, outstanding customer service, fast shipping.

I placed an order on-line the other day and within 15 minutes I was getting a phone call from them. There were a couple things with the order they wanted to make sure was right. Once I verified everything, I got the package in 2 days. As long as they continue to take care of me, I will always buy from them.

I am going to give another vote of confidence for discgolfcenter.com . I that you know exactly what you are getting( color/design and weight). They also have the lowest prices across the board and to make things even better they have free shipping. To top things off they even have a repeat customer rewards program for those who just can't get enough discs.

I had a positive experience with Sun King Disc Sports (www.sunkingdiscs.com). They were very good on informing you of the status of your order, keeping you up-to-date via emails. They were quick to expedite the order. I also found their website easy to navigate and well categorized. They too give you the option of choosing disc weights and color. The one down side, if any, is that they don’t have any rewards program that I know of.

Anymore, unless there's something I specifically want from somewhere else always order from either Gottagogottathrow or Discs Unlimited, mostly because of proximity. I get my discs a day faster because they're both close. I've had just as good of luck from Sun King and Marshall Street, but the shipping is slower because they're farther away.

I have bought from most but I have to say my top two are Prime and Action Sportz. The latter being basically an online Ebay store by Jason Parker(a member here). Jason's discs are by FAR the cheapest I have seen and he is on top of it completely.

www.stores.ebay.com/Action-Sportz-Disc-Golf

When the Boss came out and everyone was clammering for one he had first run's at $14.00, and that included shipping. Never saw anything else online come close!

So I've got to give a thumbs up for Prime discs. I put my first order with them in Friday afternoon. I didnt expect the order to be shipped until at least today, but within an hour of putting the order in I had received an email from Steve letting me know the order had already shipped. I was shocked - I had heard that Prime had fast shipping, but that topped everything for fast.

I've placed many orders with http://www.discgolfcenter.com/ and have always been happy. Exact weight and color. Their rewards program is great. And free shipping on $12 minimum order is the best deal out there.

I think http://www.clearwaterdiscgolfstore.com/catalog/ has the lowest online prices, but you need to hit $35 to qualify for free shipping. No rewards program.

I've recently hopped on the http://primediscs.com/ bandwagon with the specials they've been running and the "DGCR" promo code keeps getting me free DVDs. They have a reward program but it's cumbersome and has limited selections.

And I'll toss out another shout out to Jason at http://stores.ebay.com/Action-Sportz-Disc-Golf I've ordered multiple times from him and he's always been super nice.

I have to admit that I don't use online vendors since I live about 2 miles from Discnation's Austin store. The Discnation guys are really good guys. They will let you throw any disc you want before you buy it and they sponsor numerous local mini's and tournaments here in the Austin area. I have been impressed and would highly recommend them.

Fly before you buy is very cool. If I had anything like that lord knows I would never be stuck with any of Quest's crap. I'm going to Austin in January, can't wait, hope to pay Discnation a visit.

I have to throw out props for Disc Golf Center. Put in my first order with them last Thursday night, the box was sitting on my porch Monday evening. That's impressive for holiday season. Exact weight and colors I wanted, with free shipping. In my online survery I thanked them for being a sponsor on this sight. My next order(which is a week away) I will try Prime.

I have to give a vote to both Gottagogottathrow and discgolfcenter. The service from gottagogottathrow is special, he has called me every time I have ordered and spends time with you going over weights and colors. He has also sent time recommending discs for my wife and we changed an order then on the phone. Great personal service. The thing I like most about Discgoldcenter is being able to see what you are ordering. Especially nice when ordering dyes.

john campbell

12-29-2008, 11:43 PM

I was really impressed with discgolfcenter (pick your weight and color) so I ordered a Super Stupid Soft Gateway putter. It came with the right weight and color, but wrong S count - it was just Soft: a bit stiff, whereas the SSS is total flex, can literally be bent in half and retain it's shape. No biggie, I still like the putter, probably better than I would have liked the SSS, but it wasn't what I wanted. So, when I ordered Xmas presents I went to Prime Discs - http://www.primediscs.com These guys are awesome. Free shipping with $30+ order and it was here FAST, 2 days. I bought my son a starter set: Fade Lite bag, two 150 class Lightning discs, and a 10M Brick for less than $30. I had to buy a sticker to push the total over $30 for free shipping. My friend got a $50 Prime Gift Certificate which came with two free DG DVDs and, of course, free shipping. These guys are on it and Boss fast!

My two favorite are Discgolfcenter.com and MarshallStreetDiscGolf.com.
Disc golf center because of all the reasons that have been listed.
But if you are looking for a wider variety you have to go with Marshall Street. While you can't pick the exact weight and color they have the greatest variety of discs. And many of their comments about the discs are good for a chuckle.

_.-Dut-._

01-12-2009, 03:46 AM

Discgolfcenter.com : Pick the exact weight and free shipping. Customer service has been great when I needed it. Also can earn discounts the more you order.

Marshallstreetdiscgolf.com: Great selection. Shipping is cheap and always prompt. Anytime Ive had a problem Jason has always went above and beyond what you would expect for customer service. Also, they have given great advice when I have called to discuss new products and what not.

Gottagogottathrow.com: Easy to work with, great selection, and often get free minis with your order.

Ive ordered from other sites but the above three is the only ones that I use at this point.

tamahawk

01-13-2009, 09:21 PM

another thumbs up vote for disc golf center.

they have a great selection of discs with a very user friendly interface, lets you see exactly how many discs are in stock, what weight, and what color as well as pics of all the custom i-dyed discs so you know exactly what you are ordering. free shipping on orders over $12, and an excellent reward system that increases over time as you buy.

great site, fast (free) shipping, and great customer service.
nothing but positive experiences with DGC!

I was comparing the prices between Marshall Street and Prime Discs by using Raging Inferno DT as a benchmark. Prime's shipping cost is 3 bucks and I was shocked to see MS's shipping (or process fee as they call it) costing 7 bucks! What gives? I'm living at NY and its only the next state there.

7 bucks? geez, I can get better shipping deal at ebay or PRIME!!

Be very careful using Quest products as a benchmark. They must have had some sort of end-of-year clearance to the dealers because just about everyone was slashing prices on most of their Quest stuff in December. I see that Prime still has their prices at clearance levels.

My absolute favorite place to get discs online is www.discaroo.com. It isn't a traditional disc shop, it's more of a disc trading site, but I use it to get nearly all the discs I want. In addition to trading discs, they have a currency (discaroo dollars) on there you can purchase and use to buy discs or you can sell discs for discaroo dollars and in turn use them to buy discs you want. After a tournament where I cash, I always end up with discs I don't like or don't throw and this is the perfect solution to that problem.

I've also done business with Jason on www.stores.ebay.com/Action-Sportz-Disc-Golf and highly recommend him. His prices are outstanding and shipping is the cheapest I've seen on eBay.

Got PM from Dave and was told that it was errors on that certain products. It happens. He pointed out that the actual rate was suppose to be 6 bucks anyway.

Other than that, MS are alright since they have some products that others do not and love their email newsletters. :rolleyes:

MS is supposed to have a max shipping fee. so you could order 500 discs and only pay 6 bucks shipping. at least thats what i have been told.

01-18-2009, 04:03 AM

I only buy from these two places...

Disc Golf Center: Great selection; Love being able to pick exact color & weight combination; Customer rewards program; Free shipping; Fast shipping; Awesome customer service. (Thanks for the free calendar Wade!)

Gotta Go, Gotta Throw: Very good selection; Have some products other sites don't carry (i.e. Bite shoes); Great deals on X-Outs; Reasonable shipping costs; Good shipping time; Responsive customer service.

jartiv

10-23-2009, 12:18 PM

yea it just depends on who has what i want. I like to look at DGCenter, Marshall Street, Prime, Gotta Go, Clearwater. I figure between those 4 I'll find what I want. My favorite site has to be a tie between DGCenter and Marshall Street. I use DGCenter a lot to compare ratings and Marshall Street has some helpful reviews. Obviously the DGCenter free shipping is a plus, but this past summer Marshall street had a great 5 dollar disc deal with 25 dollar purchases.

So I ordered online 9 times this past season here is the breakdown

1 - GottaGoGottaThrow - didn't really know about the other stores yet
1 - Disc Golf Value - best innova x-out prices
1 - DGcenter - free shipping, and really great site. great layout that helps you get what you want and of course their flight ratings.
1 - LSDiscs - pretty much only ordered from them because I was registering for a tournament and I was getting charged for shipping anyway... actually ended up just going to their store (basement) and picking up my order, i live 30 minutes from them.
1 - DynamicDiscs - 1 day shipping from these guys since I live in Kansas... guy who runs it is quick to communicate. Their store is on Ebay, but I advise you to place your order by email because he gives a pretty good discount, pretty much he passes on savings from ebay fees, but I got like 3 dollars off on my disc. They have, IMO, the best selection on ebay. Also like them because you get EXACTLY what you see.
1 - HeroDiscsUSA - haha... they have japan open discs...
3 - MarshallStreet - It may have been the free 5 dollar disc with $25 deal that on this past summer. They are pretty good about getting you exactly what you want, and I have called in several times and they have been very helpful. Favorite part of their site is their reviews... they can be helpful.

I like Disc Golf Center. I'm up to an 8% discount now. I can get an Innova disc in star plastic shipped for $13.79 in the exact weight and color I choose. Cant beat that.

Occasionally, due the popularity of the site, their stock runs low in the most popular weights. They usually restock every few days, but if I need something right away that they don't have then I order from prime discs.

DG center is definitely best for low price, and picking exact weight and color. I do like some of the 'from the attic' stuff from marshall street, but their shipping is outrageous.

aarikc17

10-30-2009, 08:04 PM

The only thing DiscGolfCenter has the lowest prices on is discs from Innova and Discraft. But you can find Bags, straps, accessories, ect cheaper elsewhere, just not at the same place. Picking specifics is nice but other places do that as well (Prime Discs ect.) Free shipping is also available elsewhere (Prime, clearwater, and one more cant remember) Prime also offers Prime Points as well as always sending extra swag.

And Prime has super fast shipping!

I have contacted Disc Golf Center 3 times and have never gotten a response.

However, I still order from them sometimes just because I am close to the 10% mark, and they have a huge selection.

DGC is kinda like the Walmart of DG.

I kinda agree here. I can make sure I get exactly what I want for the lowest price from DGC, however, I'm not going to be supporting my local DG scene by doing so.

Places I've bought from include:

GottaGoGottaThrow.com they have a great deal on the Scott Stokely DVD's right now..

DiscGolfCenter.com is pretty much my default choice in online store...

Clearwaterdiscgolf.com is a great site especially if you like specific stamps and rare discs etc.

GetYourFrolfOn.com is pretty good as well, I've purchased through their store as well as their eBay store.

And who can forget, DynamicDiscs.com they sell all through eBay right now, but they freaking ROCK!
