Ordered an RTIC 20 in tan....

feef706

Finally got notice he other day my cooler shipped that I ordered back in October. 

Received this today



Now obviously I got a bargain on a 45, but it's not really what I wanted, it's comical

45=20? They are getting them out so fast, what do you expect? Well, nice cooler. I bet you can get the 20 next year for nearly $0 if you sell the 45! I'm in.

My debacle, a 45 would be good at times, but another item to store when not needed, funny thing is the tan 20 actually has a decent lead time right now, shorter than most other sizes even in white, I'm thinking on it

There is nothing to ponder my friend. Order it.

@SGH you sir are not helping my cause! But I can't agree more

Hey, you can never have to many my friend.

My Rtic 45 arrived before my 20.  Now I have to look at the box to see if it was suppose to have been the 20.

Well, you got a 45 for the price of a 20.

I'd take it, for sure. SGH is right, you can never have too many.

I'd consider that a gift brother!  The RTIC 45 is awesome.

The right thing to do would be to contact customer service and let them know what happened.

I think over the 3 month wait the 20qt just grew a little and now it's a 45qt.lol
The $25 price difference would not be worth the shipping fees for RTIC to swap the coolers. It's a win for you and a break even for RTIC who made the mistake. In fact, keeping the 45qt might save RTIC money over the exchange.

I was given the gift of a Yeti softside 20quart. and I don't think I'll ever use my rtic 20 again.  It's just so much easier to manage the softside cooler.  The 45 is my favorite size.

You will if you care about holding ice...

I'll take the 20 off your hands at Butt Blast @thatgrimguy

Love my Hopper 30.  Perfect for a few days.  I use it way more than any of my hard coolers.  Yeti is now releasing a Hopper 40.

a few days?????? you must live in the arctic. mine does not hold ice for sh!t.

If I had paid $350 for one, I would be so pissed off. Might be the worst soft side cooler I've ever had.

Nope, not the arctic.  70 degrees. Works great for parties, picnics, beach days, etc.

I wouldn't pack a bunch of meat for days.

Brother Tex, if you will sit the Yeti inside of a RTIC, it will keep ice for days

yeah- but none of those are "a few days". I can keep ice 24 hrs in sub 85 degree weather but it's not anything like they claim it to be. I was really disappointed in the ice retention and how hard it is to get stuff in and out. In the summer here, it's more like 6-8 hrs and you are down to zero ice. My $49 polar bear is 4x that.

Yeah, access is a straight up pain in the hiney.  It does not compare to a roto-mold, but my luck has been great with it.

I figure it was cheaper than my wifes purses and way more useful.

Has anybody else received their RTIC lately?  Mine is scheduled due in a couple of weeks and I haven't heard or seen anybody post receiving one lately.  I'm expecting the date to get bumped back again.

All you can do is keep your fingers crossed.
Seems like the bump times are are getting shorter and shorter.
I have all 3 of mine.
Take care.

Mine is still scheduled for 2/19. No change in date from when I ordered it.

HondaHawk

Both mine where scheduled this week (65/20 in tan). I got them a week-half-ago.

With that I do have the Hopper 30. It does fine for us. I use a frozen gallon of water in mine and will stay cool for a few days.

I got my RTIC 20, which I ordered in August, in January.  I just put it through some Mardi Gras paces as my back porch cooler.  I loaded it up with beer Friday, and reiced it on Saturday morning (because the beer that I put in was warm).  So with a pre-chilled cooler, I'm still going strong today, Mardi Gras afternoon.  Nice mixture of ice and slush.  This is with opening it for beer about three times a day.

(I also have my home-base parade cooler (Ice Cube), my soft pelican cooler (for moblity) and a back up wheeled cooler and two other igloos that have beer for emergencies.

I just emptied the emergency coolers and now I have a bit of a beer dilemma on my hands.
