I just ordered wrist and ankle Road IDs. The woman I talked to (I ordered over the phone) was really cool. I told her about seeing threads about Road ID on TE, and she said folks could look into group discounts for IDs.

I've already ordered mine, but if anyone wants to be in charge of trying to get a TE discount (or discount for your bike club or running club) they should call Mike Wimmer or Edward Wimmer at 1-800-345-6336.

Very cool!

Ooooh I'd be interested in ordering one or two. I can't take on the organization of a group order though.

I'll keep my eyes posted on this thread. :)

I was just thinking of ordering one. I'll keep checking the thread to see if anyone organizes a group order.

Would we get the TE logo or better yet....team amici veloci :D on it? Or an icon of chocolate, wine and beer?

I'd be interested as well. :) Although I do not know how that would work for an "internet" group as opposed to a "real life" group. Would one of us be responsible for ordering them all and then paying for them all?

Seems like it could be complicated. :confused:

I was planning on ordering 2 of them. I will keep watching the thread and see if anything formal gets organized.

Oooh, sounds good!

Perhaps a discount code unique to TE?

I'd be interested in getting one as well. I've been meaning to order one but just never got around to it.

GLC - that's exactly what it would be. Most likely a coupon code with an expiration date. His only concern is that the coupon code would get out to others outside our group but hey, it's still sales right? He told me to call him back tomorrow so I'll let you all know how I fare.

I am interested as well. I take a medication the paramedics need to know about and I NEED to buy one of these. My mom has been bugging me about it for some time. :o

What if you could only get the code by PMing someone? This would keep from posting it in public and then they would have to be a registered TE user. I could answer the PM's if needed. Just a thought?

Yes! Each one could be engraved daintily on the back "If you're a single man and find this please call Lise 555-555-1213, if female call Trek 555-555-3210 after rendering aid to the party wearing this of course" :rolleyes:

HA! Good one, Trek! This way we get to screen for the type that would render aid! Excellent! I know our TE buddies wouldn't mind donating a little space in our cause on the back of their road IDs! :D

Good catch, DirtDiva!

Three cheers for Dar!

I knew if I posted something before I left for work, someone would be running with it before I even got home!

TE gals are awesome!

:D

Lise "HA! Good one, Trek! This way we get to screen for the type that would render aid! Excellent! I know our TE buddies wouldn't mind donating a little space in our cause on the back of their road IDs! :D "

I dunno, this is getting complex. How do we know they rendered aid? They could jot down the number and leave poor TE gal by the road.

I suggest unique promotional code on the ID, they call, give promo code. Lise then contacts corresponding TE gal to ask: did he render aid? is he cute? single? did he talk endlessly about the gold standard? :)

Thanks for starting this thread - I still haven't got Road IDs because - for seven of us - its damned expensive...

But a "family discount" would be super!

We need them, too! I hope they do say Team Estrogen on them. I think my husband would look tres cute with that on his ID.
