CHEAPER THAN DIRT????

[twfshelton]

The name is a bit misleading. Tried to buy ammo from them for the first time the other day. Nice ad shows up at the house at 11 am brought to my mail box by the good ol U.S. post office. I look thru it and see a great deal on Rio royal 00 buck, so I go online and try and order it, but the price is different. So I call them, thinking it is a special from the mailer. She tells me the price has increased $60 per case. I tell her the ad just showed up 30 minutes ago, how can this be? She tells me the ads are made way in advance and ammo has increased across the board. Is this the way they always do business???? I know it's called snail mail, but give me a break.

Yep, CTD seems to be as bad as Don's Guns. It's not because they love to shoot, they just love money. Do a search of the boards here. I doubt you'll ever even consider buying form them again.

Not defending C.T.D.'s business practice in any way BTW.

Back in my consulting day's one of my customers was a bulk printing company. Saw them printing things for stuff way in the future on occasion. Like advertisements for department stores. Be willing to bet if you look closely at that coupon there is a "Prices and availability subject to change without notice." disclaimer in really really small text somewhere. So they cover themselves legally if there's a big change.

Cheaper Than Dirt - AR15.COM

They won't be paying for ad space on ARFCOM for long. The members made it quite clear that they won't be doing any business with them.

I am not Suprised, dirt is really expensive right now. About $10K an acre here.

they got a bad name in the gun community when they decided to stop selling guns the day after sandy hook. political crap.
their prices now are ridiculous, when they actually get stuff.

i don't buy the whole 'supplier raised my prices' BS, no matter who it comes from. i've found enough legit deals lately to not fall for it whatsoever.
