Danascraps Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Does anyone know anything about the quality of the trampoline in the Walmart ad?? Is it super cheap quality? or decent. Thanks so much! Dana
peppysfireball Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 My daughter bought one 2 years ago. It was the same one they usually sell, but our store only had 2.
mf47960 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I bought the one last year and it has survived being blown upside down several times!!
peppysfireball Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Mine came from Sams Club 15 years ago and no amount of wind could ever blow it upside down. It's difficult to drag it when I mow the yard. The ones today aren't as heavily made.
beccasbank Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Just a heads up, my store only had 2 last year.
peppysfireball Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 My daughter said no one else was even in line when she got hers. I think it's because most insurance companies cancel you if they find out you have one. When mine sent me a letter telling me I needed to fence it in, I had a hard time finding another company that allowed them. FInally went to Country companies.
starbeck96 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 This is the number 1 thing on my daughter's list. She is 5 so she is about the same age as the boys were when they got one. They are 13 now so we've already told them they are not allowed on the trampoline together. They can get on and jump with her (very carefully) and they can get on alone..lol.
kristielc Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 we bought one from walmart last year on BF and saved it till April for m sons birthday. It gets a lot of use and is holding up great so far. We are getting ready to put it away for the winter soon though.
EarleneW Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 A friend has this same one- It is nice quality- I will be in line to get one myself Thursday night!
rocky41102 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 We got the one on sale last year at Walmart. It's still in good shape and gets lots of use. We have learned to take the netting down when it gets windy (really windy) or it gets blown all over. It's gotten a little bent up and we've had to replace a leg but if we take the net down, it doesn't move much.
annbaumel Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 got 1... first time to ever stand in line for anything... and I actually I talked my oldest daughter and her boyfriend to stand in line for me... but so glad to get it at such a good price...the got there at 7... no one in walmart knew where the line should actually be and store personnel moved the line 4 different times... wish they were a little more organized..
Danascraps Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 I went at 10ish... and got in the door by 1030. Gone. Bummer! Fingers crossed for some luck online!
howpomp Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Got to the one in Pompano about 930pm and finally found them about 15 minutes later, about 10 in stock. After I grabbed one five others flew off the shelf. I must say that two associates helped carry it to my van. It was very heavy and I am very thankful they helped me. Actually a good experience :)
uglymouse Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 You had to get a ticket for the trampoline at our Walmart. They had about 39 of them. We were number 22. We got there about 8ish. We were away from the 10 pm vultures thank goodness. The thing is you had to stay in line with your ticket. You couldn't leave and come back. That was the only thing we went there for, we ordered everything else online earlier. But Walmart was crazy, and people driving like crazy in the parking lot.
AndreaInNC Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 My Walmart was letting people putting them in buggies around 730pm. No tickets at my store.
tazolover Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Tickets at out store, and by the time we got there at 9 PM, all the tickets were gone. Majorly bummed, but my bad for not getting there earlier.

wyntyrose Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 the first walmart got 8 in and since they allowed people to shop at 7pm they were all gone by 8:30 when we got to the store. We went to the second walmart in town and they had one left they got 25.
Danascraps Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 Didn't get a trampoline! None at my store when I got there at 1015, and after an hour long fiasco trying to buy one online (with much Walmart) site crashing.... out of stock. Sadness. I wonder what the chances are to find another one at a similar price before Christmas....
starbeck96 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I got my trampoline. I do not know how many they had. This was one of the few "big" items that we didn't have to stand in line for. I went to WM prepared to stay in line but instead they handed us a ticket and told us if we lose it they will not issue us another one, but we were free to walk around. WE could not check out until 10. But we had to drive around back for ours. So, I was able to get my daughter Operation Buzz Lightyear. I think the only reason they allowed us to walk around is because we are such a small store and since we are so small that means fewer employees. I figure they needed all of their employees for the other really big ticket items. I know that they had at least 10 trampolines.
e_kristin2003 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I tried to get one online. Had it in my cart checking out and the site crashed while my order was processing. When I tried to check out again it was out of stock.
