CheaperThanDirt suspends sales

[Sivl32 27]

Their facebook status reads

"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.

 

Reviewing their policy? where they selling guns differently than any other online retailer?

I just cancelled the order I placed yesterday for mags, ammo, and a few spare parts. Unreal..

 

If you click 'reload' on their facebook page, they are losing a ton of likes by the second

Just refreshed a few times and you weren't kidding. They're loosing about 1 like per second. Good riddance, too.

I think we need at least 4 more threads on this.

 

:-p

Emptied my Cheaper than Dirt cart...

 

Deleted my weekly recording of American Rifleman that is "brought to you by Cheaper Than Dirt".

Nice to see guys actually voting with their wallets for a change. Usually, people will b*tch and patronize a company anyway. Great job guys.

I always wanted a really good reason to boycott CTD.

[JonF 79]

They should rename themselves, "LowerThanDirt".

 

in '08, they were one of the first to start price gouging on everything and when they did, thier prices were the WORST! Eff em.

[NJKen 23]

Yeah, im done with them. Way to stand up for the second amendment CTD! Jackasses

Added on edit:

On CTD's facebook page people are unliking them so fast its all jammed up. It took me five minutes to unlike them!

[Sticky Grips 4]

So much for those douchebags. They wouldnt even ship a mossberg 500 to NJ.

[NJScott 15]

It really is astounding to go to their FB page and hit "refresh" every ten seconds. By my count they are losing 10-15 "Likes" each time I check.

 

The replies to their postings from all of us cheesed-off firearms enthusiasts is friggin' funny as hell, too.

Hahaha, this is really true, in 30 seconds they lost just about 30 likes, try it!!!! its fun!!!

 

 

Since I posted something about it on my FB wall, 3 of my friends un-liked them within the last hour!

[this_is_nascar 162]

I hadn't heard that WalMart had taken action as well.

Cabela's reportedly took or is going to take action regarding AR-15 sales at its' CT store(for now...)

Cabela’s, an outdoor products retailer, was still offering Bushmaster AR-15 rifles for between $730 and $1,040 each on its website. But the sale page notes that the firearm is not available for sale at the company’s Connecticut store.

Changin' it to..... Lower Than Dirt............

Uh the the link has a flash suppressor which is a no-no under CT AWB so it makes perfect sense they don't sell it there.

MidwayUSA and Brownells here I come!

I left my iPhone home when my wife and I were finishing some Christmas shopping. Just came home to a message questioning my order cancellation and stating that they can still send me the mags, glock parts, & misc, but not ammo. I was asked to contact them at a number provided or e-mail address if it's more convenient.

 

So... I replied...

I received this response from CTD after I wrote them a nasty-gram:

 

Cheaper Than Dirt! has temporarily suspended online sales of firearms.

As a long time supporter of the Second Amendment, Cheaper Than Dirt! will continue to promote the safe and responsible use of firearms by law abiding customers. During this temporary suspension, we will review our policies and promotions.

When I looked earlier, it was in the 240,000 range

[NJScott 15]

I could have sworn CTD's "Likes" were about 207,000 when I first checked, and now they are down to 195,926. WELL over 1,500 folks per hour "unliking" their feckless asses.

 

Wally World and Dick's do not seem to be suffering the same fate, owing perhaps to the fact they are not firearms/ammo specific companies. Wal-Mart's "Likes" actually went UP while I was checking out their page. It would be pretty disheartening if Cabela's takes any further action to restrict the sales and distributions of firearms. If they are paying attention to what's happening with CTD I don't think they'd be that short-sighted.

[tony357 386]

i am going to like them just so i can unlike them..

[NJDrew1 0]

LOL. At this pace, with the number of people they're pissing off, they might end up selling their company for cheaper than dirt.

[forayzor 1]

Strange, Dick's Facebook has gone up over 1,000 likes since I looked last night.

[this_is_nascar 162]

Social media "Likes" mean nothing. Maybe people that now want to follow what they say have "liked" them. Vote with your wallet. That's the most effective way to send a message.

So apparently they are selling firearms again just with a long ship time. Does nothing for us since they don't sell to NJ

[NJDrew1 0]

I know I wrote to them to let them know that they're not getting another dime from me until they change their position. I got their email this afternoon.

[Handyman 5,682]

Sounds like CTD is starting to backpedal faster than Lance Armstrong front-pedals...

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."

 

 

Cheaper Than Dirt! prides itself on being America's Ultimate Shooting Sports Discounter since 1993.
