It can do so by rolling back those prices.
Good, and on another note the price of dirt can vary quite a bit.
Well, after that last cluster —— about selling firearms (I don’t fault them for jacking their prices, though their name ain’t correct any more!), I am glad to see them trying to make amends. That is a pretty good donation.
Yep, and that's a good start. Now, about that price and shipping gouging...
Exactly. Gun owners won’t soon forget nor forgive their price gouging.
At least they have got ammo for sale. In the past couple weeks I’ve bought a bunch of 12g, 20g, and 9mm ammo from CTD. No problems.
It’s a start. Let’s see if this is a one-time goodwill gesture.
I’m a regular donor to SAF, but I can’t match that. SAF is worth a donation. A lot of bang for the buck.
I’ve dealt with Cheaper Than Dirt for years, and have no complaints. As far as charges of price gouging, I would defend them in the same light as I did gas stations during after Hurricane Sandy here in NJ: When someone sells you something, they have to replace their stocks. If it will cost more to replace it (as happened with Sandy), then how can they stay in business by selling it at the lower price? Should they sell 1000 gallons of gasoline for only enough money to buy 750 gallons for their underground tanks?
Until the recent rush started depleting stocks this company enjoyed a good reputation and lived up to its name. Never had issues with shipping costs, though I noticed when buying from Amazon that there was some default (that you could switch if you noticed it) that had you selecting expedited delivery. Since I always ordered from Cheaper Than Dirt by phone, it never came up; the operator asked how I wanted it sent, and I could always opt for the standard delivery.
They can make amends by doing two things:
1. Add another zero to the donation (they can afford to with all the profit from the price gouging);
2. Roll back all retail prices and shipping costs to pre-Sandy Hoax levels, effective immediately.
Unless and until those two things happen, they are trying to buy our silence.
This is what FREEDOM looks like.
I know five people that swore (myself included) they will never buy from dumberthandirt again and three that sent them nasty-grams (myself included) - to include the money we spent on recent purchases elsewhere.........I actually spelled out I paid more $$$ money elsewhere for certain items.
I used to look forward to the catalogues in the mail....now my trash can gets that pleasure as I don't even open the front cover of them anymore.
They never have the ammo I want and their prices are not cheaper than dirt.
Attempting to buy back into the good graces of the shooting community.
Ain’t gonna work for me. Screw CTD.
