    I'm sure the RTIC is great and all, but I still love my Yeti.
    Is the the lightweight version?

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    Reserved in July, paid for it 8/18 and my order number was W247... The 45 is much larger than I thought it was going to be (perfect in size and what I will use it for) so I am glad I stuck with the 45 after debating on paying the extra $20+ for the 65 for the longest time.
    Wait a minute. I reserved on July 2nd, ordered and paid on 8/18 with an order number of W1587.. and I ordered a tan 45. You got your tan 45 cooler and mine says before 12/31 as the expected ship date last I checked. That tells me that they are NOT shipping by order number. I'm sorry but that is BS on RTIC's part. I want my cooler.

    Everybody is assuming that the numbering is sequential. It could be some internal coding regarding what distribution center it's going through etc.

    @Toxarch ... My reserve date, order date, paid date, order # and expected ship date for a Tan 45, are the same as yours.
    Last two digits of my order number is between 00 & 50.  ;)
    I'd like to know where the distribution centers are located.  :s

    Can't wait to travel with my Tan65.  Thoughts of trips to the lake and to the beach with it and my Mini Max are what helps get me through the winter.

    @Durangler My number is between 51 and 99.

    I sent them an email. It should be read in under 8 months. No, let's change that to under 11 months with no explanation why it was pushed back.

    I called in today thinking this was the first day but they said they went on sale "a few days ago and are now on backorder". I went to the website and ordered 2 and received "We expect your order will ship on or around 01/04/2016".

    They decided to start selling the 30oz Wednesday evening I think. No rhyme nor reason to start early. First batch was sold out by morning and then it was all back-orders after that.

    I haven't been in on the RTIC bashing. I ordered 3, got them a few weeks ago, and love them. Having said that, I completely agree that announcing a time something will go on sale and then selling out completely before that time comes is complete garbage. Terrible PR.

  • Recieved the news today that my first inquire response shipping December reply has now been changed to 1/10/16. I can be to Chicago in 30 minutes. Where the hell is this shipping location so I can go and see if it really exist. Have they ever heard make the money when you can and burn that production plant 24/7 before your market share changes. Some piss pour planning or managing if you ask me. They have had plenty of time now to make a change to help fulfill there order demand. Ok back to drinking,

    In all honesty,  I can't figure out how they determine who or where gets delivered first. It doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I hope that you get yours soon my friend.

    I thought there were more high class people here. All these people that won't shop at Walmart or eat fast food but buy a **** knock off cooler. I need to search for better forums.

    I just got back from wal-fart.  Bought three fishing rods, some lures, and a bottle of Evans.  I was trippin' out of some of the cats there. Mohawks, cat-cutters, man, it was surreal.

    Here was RTIC's response. No explanation of how someone with a higher order number could have ordered before I did.

    We ship out our coolers in the order we received them. They have to of placed there order before you. We apologize for the delay and we certainly understand your frustrations. If it helps alleviate your concerns, we can refund your order for now and then when the coolers are in stock, you can purchase the coolers at that time. The pricing will be the same and we will have free 2-day shipping. Would this be a better option for you?

    I ordered my RTIC 20 Tan on 8/18.  They're telling me it's estimated to ship 1/2/16

    sigh.....

    Me too...

    I ordered  RTIC 20 - White $124.99 in August
    Was told today in response to an inquiry that it's estimated to ship 1/2/16

    I asked if I changed colors would that matter. Nope.

    I will keep my order but now need to buy something else for during-Christmas usage.  Bummer...
