Cheaper then Dirt to resume Online Gun sales

[Brett]

Just got the email that CTD will resume online gun sales. They said they support the second amendment. I say screw Cheaper than Dirt! They will not get another dollar from me!

Cheaper Than Dirt! will Resume Online Firearm Sales Pending Policy Changes

Cheaper Than Dirt! recently announced that it was temporarily suspending online sales of firearms pending a review of its order processing and procedures. Well-known for its ability to process and ship orders within 24 hours, online sales have skyrocketed to a point where it may take up to 72 hours for firearms and other items to ship.

"In light of recent events, we believe it is prudent to review our policies and procedures to ensure we can continue to provide the products and firearms our customers demand," said Chief Operations Officer Roberta Wilson. "We will resume online sales once we update our process and continue as we have always done by shipping firearms only to FFL dealers."

Ms. Wilson closed with, "As a long-time supporter of the Second Amendment, we will continue to serve the needs of the firearms community while ensuring our unsurpassed level of quality and customer service."

I agree! Fool me once... I never have ordered a gun online and probably never will.

Bridge has been strapped with C4 and some Binary and gas. Explosion would make Red Jacket and Gunsmoke proud!

The text in tonight's announcement is NOT the same text that was published last night. These scumsuckers deserve every bit of backlash they get.

Too late, they're Blacklisted.

 

[Flaydogg]

I dont plan on buying anything from them. I cant stand people/companies that ride the fence, and make changes to please people.

 

[Beau]

After their little stunt I will never spend a dime with them.

Too little, too late. Somethings cannot be undone. The bullet they fired, they can't call back.

Too little, too late

This changes nothing. What they did was shameful and they won't be getting any business from me.

First of all, I only buy from a LGS anyway, but what if.....what if the incident in CT caused them to review their sales policies and they found some lacking and in need of revision? What if what they said originally was true?

 

[darrent]

I wrote them off the previous election...

 

[N8RV]

I am impressed that it took just over 24 hours of declining customer base to force this change of heart. I still won't buy anything from them, but capitalism does indeed work!

 

[jedi]

Make sure you also email them to let them know that they messed up and you won't be doing business with traitors!

 

[mschlatter]

Never bought from them and never will! Any bets on how long until they go under?

 

[Spike_351]

ok, im a little late to the party here, the only thing i know is they suspended sales for a while, so what exactly happened?

 

[Rob52pars]

CTD suspended their sales yesterday and then today reinstated online gun sales. They made up some excuse as to a high volume of online gun sales that caused them to do this.
My beef with them isn't suspending their gun sales. My beef with them is severely price gouging their mags and ammo.

Pmags went from $12 to $60 and are now at $30.
5.56 ammo went to $900 for 1,000rds.

I will never spend another dime at CTD.

I bought some ammo from them last summer and figured out they were not my favorite on line establishment when the e-mails started pounding my in-box. I have stopped the e-mails and will not consider them again.

OK, I will ask...what if.
And so what. They are not honest.

They won't. In 2008 after they doubled and tripled their prices the night of the election a bunch of people swore they'd never buy there again. I only know of a very few people now who have not done business with them since then, myself included. The average person has a very short memory or attention span and in 6 months their sales will be booming again.

CTD got the very first shipment of 10mm RIAA 1911s in. I really want one, but there's no way in hell I'm buying one from them. There's a few gun stores in Indiana who pull similar stunts, including site advertisers, and I won't buy from them either.
