So for the 4th or 5th year in a row, even though I updated all my payment information and enabled auto-renew, Brownells didn't auto renew my Edge membership, again. Seems like it'd be a simple thing to get right after all this time
Now though I can't even find how to re-subscribe to Edge. Is Edge no longer a thing? There's nowhere on the website to join, and looking under Home/My Account/Edge Membership, it's blank. I've disabled all the various blockers and noscript and etc in my browsers and tried from 2 different browsers on 2 different machines on two different networks...nothing, blank. Even from my phone, which has zero protection...so it's not something I'm blocking or otherwise disabling in my browser that's doing this Searching for "Edge" gets nothing but products with "Edge" in their name but not a membership anywhere; nothing listed on any of the menus, etc. Did Brownells decide to discontinue the Edge membership program entirely? |

View Quote @Evil_Ed, I forwarded this over to Customer Service and IT--they gave me a link to send you. It should come up if you search "Edge Membership" https://www.brownells.com/edge-membership/ Let me know if that works for you. |

So, because they're probably IT guys and didn't check too deeply...normal people are going to search for edge membership (no quotes; just two words) which did NOT get any membership hits (go ahead, try it). I got 72 hits, but not one of them was "subscribe to edge" or any permutation thereof. Searching for "edge membership" (with the quotes) actually did get me to the edge membership page, directly. I'm assuming someone is actually looking at this, and fixing it...both the search problem, and the fact there's no actual direct link anywhere Anyway - thank you! Now to resume my normal ordering schedule |

Funny enough, I only added the quotes to set it apart from the rest of the text. I searched edge membership and it gave me the same result. But that could be that they already fixed it?
Glad you're squared away--reach out if you need anything else! |

I just realized that my Edge membership didn't auto-renew, only after I had already placed an order. Went back in and renewed it. Must be a glitch in the matrix.

I am coming up for renewal. I see it is now $99 compared to $49. Think i will have to pass. There are no Edge deals that amount to anything. I think you receive maybe two emails a year that might be exclusive. Plenty of coupons with free shipping now a days and local retailers are very competitive on price where Brownell's use to beat easily.

I've ordered a lot from Brownells from many years and the Edge program easily paid for itself with the free shipping... but with all the “changes” we have seen at Brownells over the past few years and now this Edge $ increase I'm rethinking the need to go for the “Edge” too.

The item prices now are enough to discourage compared to other vendors. I wish they were my go to vendor especially for AR parts but they get further away from that every day.

Very easy not to renew at $100. $100 for Edge is pushing them into Walmart+ and Amazon Prime territory. I liked the value for $50 but absolutely not worth it at $100 unless there are some mega-amazing value-adds in the pipeline. And I don't mean video content I won't watch or sponsorships for shooting events I don't care about. |

Definitely not doing edge for $100. I buy a lot from them but hard to justify it with that price.

My biggest challenge with renewing Edge is how often Brownells has things out of stock that other vendors never run out of. $100 pays for itself fast with free 2 day shipping. Especially when it’s always something small that I need ASAP.

$100 now? Damn. I'm a little miffed it didn't auto-renew late last year when it was still cheaper. $50 was a no-brainer. Not sure about that now.
I was an Edge member for a few years, and while the free 2nd day shipping was great, I can only remember one or two "exclusive" deals or sales. |

Did Edge get canceled? I can't even find it now...google yields dead links
