DE Releasing Ratzilla To Drew Diplomat Retailers

[Kingpin]

I got a call from a vendor that these are in asking 190 for a bundle of 10. Hard to justify this close to Christmas probably going to pass on these.

 

[Craig Mac]

Bundle of 10?

 

[King Kill 33]

I got mine for $13.05 a stick. Funny how mark up works I guess...

 

[Kingpin]

yeah, I'm a little disappointed in the price the guy threw at me as he always gives me a great price on everything I buy from him.

 

[problemsolverjc]

Got mine for 14....

Just happened to be there when their bundles arrived. Limit 2 sticks. $15 ea. had to bite but wouldn't have sought them out if I hadn't been there.

 

[Hoshneer]

I thought it was a bundle of 12?

 

[King Kill 33]

It is a bundle of 12

Lucky dogs. I've been looking for them everywhere and haven't had any luck

You can get on Drew Estate's site and search for their official dealers near you. Those places are the only ones who got any.
I picked up 4 for $15. That is all they would allow.

I saw someone post on FB that their B&M said customers had to buy a box of No9 or T52 for them to let them buy up to 4 ratzillas!

Seems underhanded to be charging more than the msrp for a new release of any product.

Could be local taxes depending on the location.

My shop was selling them at $15 a stick, which isn't bad for Cali, but you had to buy four no.9's in order to buy just one Ratzilla... Was told DE told them to sell them that way. Pretty bummed as the usually are great to deal with and give me good prices.

That is an awful practice in these times of customer service.

Yea, was pretty bummed. The shop manager even sounded bummed telling me about what DE was asking them to do. Was really looking forward to the ratzilla as the DR is my fave. Oh well..

How much do they charge for no9s?

I call BS that DE wanted them to package the Ratzilla with 9's. I bought a bundle with no add ons in another state. My local shop just limit them to 1 stick per person.

I am 99% sure that's bull, I doubt DE asked anyone to do that. I agree.

There are too many examples on this thread, including mine, of people buying them without any stipulations to believe your retailer was being truthful with you.
