As I mentioned in the other thread about Cheaper than Dirt, I sent an email to them protesting thier suspension of online firearms sales. I just returned from an outing to the Everglades, and found this in my inbox-
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."
Not sure how much of this was due to people like some of us here on the forum writing in and expressing outrage and a need to take our business elseware, but something turned them around.
