Why to NOT Buy From *Cheaper Than Dirt*

[cjnowell72]

Even before all their newtown shenanigans, I quit dealing with em when they started the "live pricing" and different-warehouse BS (where they'd hit you with multiple shipping charges per order). Damn shame too, they used to carry some pretty unique surplus stuff.

Yeah your right i forgot about the diff. Pricing crap. Yeah they used to have killer surplus deals

The largest suck that pulled them down the drain was when they canceled back orders when they got stock, which they then listed for sale at 10x price of the canceled orders.

I was looking for a date on the article... I think it was old, during panic!

I believe that both of the articles are at least 5 years old.

The last time I ordered from them I bought 10 German raindrop AK mag pouches for like $20...This was back in 2012 before Newtown. I haven't bought from them since, and I won't. I remember during the panic they were the only ones with any 7.62x39 left in stock, and I refused to buy from them. Screw CTD.

I havent bought anything from cheaper than dirt since it was a magazine.

Exactly. For the people who don't remember this, if you went to buy an ar15 muzzle brake, washer, new hand guard, and grip, CTD would charge you like this (nothing was ever efficiently grouped together)
-AR15 muzzle brake, $20.........+shipping from warehouse A $8.99
-AR15 washer, $5......+shipping from warehouse B $8.99
-AR15 hand guard, $20..... +shipping from warehouse A $0
-AR15 grip, $12.......+shipping from warehouse D $5.99
Total $XX.XX +Flat rate shipping $9.99

It was so dumb.

But I stopped buying from CTD when they jacked up their prices after a shooting:

I ordered from the years ago. I think the shipping cost was the issue. Whatever... they came off my preferred list.

I don’t blame them for high ammo prices,I blame the dumasses that buy it.

So we need price controls? Sounds kind of Venezuelan to me.

no, we as gun enthusiasts should remember not to buy from these dildos
