Just for Garage Journal Members take an extra 5% off EVERYTHING in our store! This code CAN be combined with other offers.
Use coupon code: GJ-5%
Use coupon code: GJ-5%
I couldn't get the coupons to stack....Great deal though!
yea they're not stacking, once you add on cybermonday it overwrites the 5% and I cant actually delete the GJ5% once its been added to try it the other way.
Added a handful of Armstrong items to my cart and got error message:
"Coupon code "CYBERMONDAY-GJ" is not valid."
The sale is too complicated for my blood.
I am sorry you feel that way.I condensed my last post to make it simple.
Did you have an order that was OVER $300+? If your cart total is not $300+ the coupon code will not work.
Please let me know if it works.

I thought that was the issue as well, so I took my most expensive item and added 10 of them to make sure, and still same issue.
GJ-5% worked, but I tried adding CYBERMONDAY-GJ and it still gave me the same error message. Gotta get back to work. Will revisit in a few hours.

Regarding coupons not working for some: are you running some sort of tracker blocking software like Ghostery?
I think Ghostery is client side.
5% coupon DID apply to the whole order. It was not stacking correctly so I had to change the coupon and the 5% coupon now only applies to SALE items in the Cyber Monday Category. You would be better off stacking the regular Garage Journal discount (GJ0613-10%) with the 5% off sale item discount (GJ-5%) to get 10% off non sale items and 5% off sale items making it a better deal all around. So to simplify use these two codes:
GJ0613-10%
GJ-5%
This will get you the best deal.
I hope I cleared that up for you.

I placed an order yesterday and the normal GJ 10% off coupon didn't work, it showed an error message that said it didn't start until Dec 4. I figured it was due to the Cyber Monday sale. The 5% coupon worked fine for me though.
Ok, I tried to take another run at it. The coupons you mentioned do apply unfortunately they don't apply correctly at least based on your explanation. I added 4 items to my cart; two cyber specials and two regular items. One regular priced item was 161.52 ( item # 069-34-376) so using my GJ 10% code that item should have a 10% discount applied based on your summary. It does not. The order had the proper 5% discount applied but not the 10%. All of my discount amounted to less than $6.00. My guess is that could be a stacking issue. I tried to engage the live chat to have you take a look but nothing happened so it certainly could be an issue on my end.
I am a pretty patient guy and while the discounts were not a huge deal the frustration of why it wasn't working correctly finally made me throw in the towel. You guys have been great in the past on my previous orders and have been done a good job of customer support on the GJ so I will be back. I would however recommend working out some kinks as sometimes you only get one shot at a new customer.
First time looking at Trident, looks like I'm going to order a few things
I placed an order for a bunch of gearwrench items. I noticed that the coupon code cybermonday-gj did not take 30% off any gearwrench items that contained a ratchet or drive tool, but worked fine on items without(socket only sets in my case). I even tried adding speeders, breaker bars, and extensions and it excluded those as well. I ended up switching out a couple items on my wish list and sticking to socket only sets this time around. Hope this helps troubleshoot the issues others and I were seeing.
Thanks for the sale and supporting Garage Journal

Kelsey does Trident offer gift wrapping so I can have you ship my Garage Journal Secret Santa his gift direct from you?
Hey i am about to put in an order, just wondering if there is any discount on shipping for the Canadian gj members? I know it wouldn't be totally covered, but a little bit off always helps! thanks!

What do you need to do to enter this? Went to the website and didn't see a link anywhere? Or is it anyone who makes a purchase between now and the 13th is entered?
There is a link on our website and on the 13th it will be posted here as well. On the left hand of our homepage look under "Quick Links". It will say "Trident's 12 days of Giveaways".
Currently it is not open but will be open to entering starting at Midnight on the 12th. You have to enter a new entry every day for that day's given prize..am I making sense?
All you will need to do to enter is your full name and email address! That's it!
Thank you,
Kelsey
