Cheaper Than Dirt suspending online firearms sales immediately

Cheaper Than Dirt! is suspending online sales of firearms effective immediately. We are reviewing our policy internally, and will continue to be the leader in the outdoor industry with our full line of gear and accessories.

 

 

On their website, when you go to the gun sales section it says:

Cheaper Than Dirt! doesnt sell guns

 

This is not a good development.

It appears that these groups who you'd expect would speak-out to SUPPORT this hobby are all caving in.

Cheaper Than Dirt can fold for all I care. They were one of the WORST gougers when Obama was first elected and there was a shortage of reloading components. I said as much on their Facebook page. Judging by the overwhelming negative to positive ratio of the comments, they must realize they stepped in it.

Holy Cow!!!! If they go out of business where will I go to pay $14.92 in shipping to have a $3.00 item sent????? Bunch of cocksuckers.

Where's a "Like" button when you need one?

Just e-mailed them requesting my name be stricken off their mailing list.......Never will buy another item from them......suggest you do the same.......Dick's and Wal-mart ......too.

Once again ... who cares? They have always sucked.

From what I am reading other places, the completely sold out their firearm inventory. Every rifle and shotgun.

 

Budsgunshop is having problems too. The site is crashing from the heavy traffic. I suspect they will be out of inventory soon as well.

Dicks is doing something similar:

Statement from DICK’S Sporting Goods

We are extremely saddened by the unspeakable tragedy that occurred last week in Newtown, CT, and our hearts go out to the victims and their families, and to the entire community.

Out of respect for the victims and their families, during this time of national mourning we have removed all guns from sale and from display in our store nearest to Newtown and suspended the sale of modern sporting rifles in all of our stores chainwide.

We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by this terrible tragedy.

Its not known how long they will suspend the sale of "modern sporting rifles"

Dicks can go suck a dick.

I just clicked "remove me" from one of their emailers. I'm such a rebel. heh. Well, they'll never get another penny from me and they can take their spam and shove it straight up their collective asses.

Exactly. fugg them. Take my business somewhere else.

 

Also , they jacked the prices of PMAG 30rds to $50.

 

Not that it matters to nj, but it's the principle.

 

(I didn't write fugg, looks like the site fixed it. I wrote F U C K THEM! )

[MikeL417 33]

Guys it's worse than you thought. 60 bucks for a 30rd and 900 bucks for a case of XM855. boycotting has begun. Join the masses

I've been to several Dick's locations out of NJ, and I've never seen them sell MSRs... ever.

The tards that work there didn't even know what a Benelli M2 American was, looked at me like I was looking for a unicorn. Meanwhile that store is where my friend bought his. Dick's Sporting Goods isn't good in other categories either. Boycott

Thanks for the laugh.. I needed that.

They are dogturds.

[raz-0 1,259]

I would boycott CTD if it weren't for the fact that I never stopped boycotting them. Their business practices suck.

[Springfield1911 22]

Not only are the distributors caving in. The equity firm that owns Bushmaster just put it up for sale.

AWB is right around the cornor.

[this_is_nascar 162]

Right about now, I'm feeling pretty damn good to be a primarily small-caliber owner. Even if they triple the cost of .22LR ammo, I'll be able to afford to continue to shoot and defend myself.

Just got an email from Cheaper than dirt that they will resume online sales of firearms.

 

They used IT process and fulfillment re-evaluation as their scapegoat.

 

I immediately hit unsubscribe given their disingenuous explanation for what seemed like awful timing.

[Malsua 1,422]

I also had a message in my inbox after I had removed myself from their mailers. I suspect they didn't have a clue as to how their feel good action was going to affect the bottom line. Eat it CTD, we're done with you.
