    Goodness, now the eta is Apr 1 if ordered today.  We're gonna need some more Chinese factories.  It's gotta be frustrating to the RTIC principals to have such demand and not be able to meet it.  Glad my 20 showed up.  I want a 45 but I'm not up to a 4 month wait ... Sigh.

    @SGH I was wondering where that cooler went.  I still want it, if you're willing to sell it to me for cost.   Let me know when it comes in brother Scottie. 



    My initial order was for one of each size. A few weeks later I ordered 2 more of the 65's. Those two haven't came yet. If you are in a hurry or in need of one, you can have the one that is at the house. You will have to go get it though, I'm still in Theodore. It's sitting in the back of the Gator in the car porch. The last I checked, the remaining 2 65's were going to be delivered in mid December.

    @SGH - I'm going to San Antonio around Dec 17 for my brother's wedding and that would be perfect to bring. SWMBO is performing the ceremony - she's a minister, for real.  But it's not like I don't have any coolers ;)

    Thanks brother, I'll let you know.

    Just checked mine as well.  Was due to ship on Jan 16, now it's pushed back to March 5.
    I get they may be overwhelmed, but this seems like poor planning or not really understanding the business they are in.
    I may let this date change slide, but I guarantee if it moves again, I'll cancel my order.  Any later than March and it's starting to get in to travel season and I'll need my cooler.
    I think the RTIC cooler company may go the way of the Buffalo.

    The longer I hold off, the more I realize that I really don't need an oversized, overweight cooler.

    My ship date of 11/14......12/2......is now 1/1.  Can't say it gives me a lot of confidence in them.  I'll continue to wait - for now.

    I am actually in the same exact boat as you, if I hadn't received my email yesterday my order was on the verge of being cancelled.

    I paid for a Tan 20 on 8/18; the anticipated shipping date was pushed back a couple of times but yesterday I received an email from RTIC saying my order would ship within the next two weeks.   Stay tuned.

    Wow. Reading lots of complaints/cancellations because ship dates have been delayed another month if you log in and check.

    This seems more and more sketch, meanwhile they have hundreds if not thousands of orders that they are collecting interest on.

    I hope it works out, but I am starting to not like the transparency.  Glad I have yet to order, I am in no hurry.
    Prolly less sketch and more overwhelmed.  I doubt they expected the volume of orders they received.  Use mine weekly, but I will wait till they catch up to order two more.
    I look at my order the same way I look at projects I back on Kickstarter and the like. Many of them do in fact get overwhelmed by the amount of support they get that far exceeds their original goals.

    My latest example is the Misen knife. They were looking to raise $25K but ended up getting more than $1000K. Doesn't seem to have caused shipping dates for early orders to slip so far. 

    My first gen Nomiku sous vide unit was well over a year overdue.

    When my Rtic 65 arrives it arrives. Not something I obsess over.

    I do wish I had also ordered a 20 tho. Dammit!

    I agree with @HeavyG I have had a pair of custom shoes on order for over a year companies get overwhelmed be thankful they are sending updates.  However I can not support RTIC for personal reasons, best of luck to them.  I will stick with my Yeti

    I spoke with customer service and they said it's only the tan having production issues.  If I didn't care about color to change order to white and it would ship right away.

    I have same problem. I got this from there website when I track: 
    "We expect your order to ship on or before 01/01/2016."
    I can leave stuff outside without using cooler then. Why does the color matter?

    I'm having a hard time staying patient.......not sure why the tan is having production issues and white is not.  But then again....I know nothing about production of rotomolded coolers.  I ordered and paid for tan so I'm sticking it out.  Should the date change again then I'll reexamine.

    I just checked my status. Ordered 65 and 20 in tan. Originally it was to be Dec 27th-ish. Now back ordered to Mid-Feb. 

    I caved this past weekend while at Bass Pro and got a Yeti Hopper 30. Had a $50 gift card and 15% off with using Bass Pro card. The Hopper is pretty badass as well as practical. I may cxl the 20 order. Still debating.

    Ah man... I have got to place an order for one of these for sure.. I have the Yetti Koozie and I love it.. Wanted to get a cooler but glad I waited.. These are much cheaper. The back order is pretty steep.. Looks like I won't get it until April or May if I order today.. But hell... That's probably around the time I'll need it most

    I think it's more an issue of being told one thing when you paid for it and then having the shipment date continually pushed out.

    I have one of my 3 coolers and it's fantastic and I'm not in a rush for the other 2.
    That said I have to agree that shipping bumps are annoying.

    RTIC isn't even trying to hide the design stealing from YETI.   Wish they would focus on getting paid for coolers to customers instead of pillaging more from YETI.
