Frequently Asked Questions

How do we calculate the 50% and 45% discount price for Saucony.com merchandise?
Take the Reg. price and multiply it by .5 for apparel and .55 for shoes.  Enter the result into the Price box of the PO Form.
Do we get 50% off the apparel that is on sale?
No, the discount is only off the "Reg." price. For example, the Micro Fleece Headband-Glove Gift Set are regularly priced at $20, but have a "Last Chance" price of $15.  You would enter $10 on the PO From.
Does the $40 uniform include just 1 pair of shorts and 1 singlet?
Yes. It is an additional $20 per extra Singlet, Shorts and Ignite Bra and $25 for additional Women's Tight Capri.
