Cheaper Than Dirt is a rip off.  They like to use bait and switch tactics to get you to pay more money for a product.

I ordered a Mossberg 715 22LR rifle, model 37207. 

They had it priced at $176.   It was on their website at this price for several days!!! 

Two days later they Cancel my order and say the product is no longer available. 

I went on their website and it's available in all of their warehouses.... all of them.... at $280 or higher. 

So the product is still widely available.... but they will not honor the price that I had a valid, confirmed order for.

These people are classic rip off artists... and give you excuses that they use multiple warehouses and don't know what is in stock or out of stock.... and their computers only communicate to their warehouse once a day..... Think about that, it's 2013 and their computers don't tell them what can and can't be ordered or if it exists???  Really...???

But, they tell me in the next sentence, and say "we can order it for you right now".... at the $280 or higher price....  I said, ok, order it... at the $176 price... they said its not available at that price....

Don't do business with them... this is the only way they'll get the message....

I'll never do business with Cheaper than Dirt again!!!   Stay away!!!

PR.

Even the Better Business Bureau Rates Cheaper Than Dirt - Low- D+

AUTHOR: phil - ()

Cheaper Than Dirt - Poor Better Business Bureau rating Fort Worth Texas

 

Before you do Business with Cheaper Than Dirt....

Google their Better Business Bureau rating....

Google the following:  Cheaper Than Dirt BBB rating

Click on CHEAPER THAN DIRT Review - Better Business Bureau

You will see they have a poor rating.

Obviously for reasons ,,,, that they don't do right by customers.

Do business somewhere else,,,,

They probably will submit a rebuttal to this and give some lame excuse why it's a low rating....

Or say I am a disgruntled customer or that their fine print covers them on all sales....

But the fact remains, the Better Business Bureau is not me, and they form their own opinions..... The BBB says D+

Which is  a horrible rating....

Buy somewhere else !!!!

Its still bait and switch

 I am far from being in a snit..... I am just going to enjoy telling others how you rip people off....  The long and short of it is..... you have no idea what bate and switch is..... And since you don't understand what bait and switch is.... most attorney general's offices and Consumer affairs groups would find what you do as illegal.....

Hey, I am not in a snit.... you should be because more customers will will find out Cheaper that dirt is unethical and customers will leave and do less business with you.... Your loss,,, not mine...  Oh,,, I found the gun somewhere else..... guess what, they honored the price they quoted me..... You must find that unusual....   They didn't cheat a customer with fine print.....

Ken, you have no idea what bate and switch is

POSTED: Thursday, December 12, 2013

 Ken...  obviously Cheaper Than Dirt will hide behind fine print to not honor their prices.....  Its all about honor and integrity.... this is lacking at Cheaper than dirt.  This is a clear reason not to do business with you. What's so funny is,,,, your company can't figure out that its easier to do right by customers as oppose to ripping people off with bait and switch tactics.... Now your company is getting more bad press on the internet..... Hello!!!! this means less sales for your company.... 

The product is still available for sale in all of your warehouses...... honor the price for a confirmed order.... its common sense to do that.... ethical companies do it every day !!!! The price is now higher...... so, if I want it.... I have to pay more.   Its called "bait and switch" Oh, one more thing..... Why does the Fort Worth Texas BBB rate you guys as a D+  ???? They are an independent organization.... nothing to do with me!!!  Even the Better Business Bureau says not to do business with you.... Start using your head !!!!  Solve customer issues the right way !!!!

9.Pricing
CTD does our best to price our products at market value.  As the market changes so does our pricing. We are not obligated to honor a price that is in print or an error. We reserve the right to adjust product prices as dictated by the market.
Most companys reserve the right to correct ANY prices.  Guess you missed this before having a snit.  While disappointing to you, it's NOT a Ripoff.
