    Yep. She is sinking. Kind of sad really. It was a post to help people save money on rotomolded coolers. It don't make sense to me. Oh well.....

    Yeti coolers comes with a dry basket.  Pelicans are cheaper, but, doesn't include the basket which is a $50-$60 accessory.  (Or you can get a $10 standard 1/3 tray at Restaurant Depot...). I sent Rtic and email and got a response that they're working on accessories, but, they didn't answer the question if it came with the dry basket.  If you're going to compare your product with tbe market leader, I think it should have the same functions, festures, and accessories.

    just my 2 cents...

    I have a problem with these high end coolers. They don't have wheels and pull handles. These coolers are so heavy. Why don't they have wheels?

    Because most folks that buy them use them as a casting platform when fishing. The wheels would prevent this use.

    You have to consider the fact that the RTI's are less than 1/2 the price of a Yeti. So if a basket doesn't come with it and you have to purchase one, you are still way ahead on money. That I know of, only the Yeti 65 and smaller comes with a basket. On their 1,400 dollar cooler, you have to buy the basket seperate. It's ashame that this thread sunk.

    Sadly this thread won't bump any longer brother Bobby. I thought that they were made state side though. Either way, it's a heck of a good price for a rotomolded cooler.

    Dear BGE family,

    I pre-registered for one of these back during summer. On 8/18 when I got my "Secure your reservation" email, I completed my order that day and I thought I was early enough in the que to be in the first wave of shipments. 

    Still have not received my product and order status now says Dec 4 shipping my eta. 

    Is is anyone else still waiting??

    @Gdfein   Some people have gotten theirs.  I am still waiting on a tan 45 ordered the same day as you.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.
