Tat Drac: Shipping Date

Dukeuni · 10-20-2009, 05:26 PM

Does anyone know, or have you read anywhere, when the Tat Dracs will be shipped to retailers? Are certain retailers receiving boxes first? I know they will be available before 10/31, just was not sure how soon before. Thanks!

I have been told that some are getting them Friday 23rd, others are getting them on Monday the 26th.

We get our limited Tat stuff this Friday I believe. I wish I knew what it contained though.

The place I got mine from told me they get theirs on Monday.

Got an email from the local B&M that theirs are in. You have to buy a box of Tat brown label to be able to buy a box of Dracs or Boris. Singles are only available in a sampler...the cheapest one is $95 with tax

Why would he care? He has his money, why would he care what the retailer re-sold his product for?

Hey James, Got the same e-mail. Makes it a much easier decision to wash my hands of Tat and that shop. Need anything from Wilson?

I can't remember of having to buy anything to qualify to purchase an Opus.

I would really like to know the name of the shop fi you don't mind sharing.

Please?

itsme_timd · 10-21-2009, 12:04 PM

I've seen a lot of different comments on when these are coming in. Tuesday, Wednesday, this week, Friday, next Monday... I checked a few local shops yesterday and they didn't have them in yet.

It does suck to see the way some shops are gouging people on these.

Hudaddy · 10-21-2009, 03:56 PM

Just talked to a shop owner. His Tat rep said the East coast is shipping this week and West Coast is shipping early next week.

tsolomon · 10-21-2009, 05:00 PM

I was at the local B&M today and theirs just came in, but they only got 10 boxes which were all pre-sold.

10-21-2009, 05:34 PM

One shop by me is getting 5 boxes of each, to be split among their 3 stores and will NOT be selling them until the 31st. The other shop has no idea what or when. I figured I would stroll in the second shop Fri morning and talk to the owner....

AngryBill · 10-21-2009, 07:33 PM

Retailers don't pay SCHip tax. The manufacturers do. And the total tax for tobacco in NC is 12.8% on the wholesale cost. Some have increased their price, but Pete and a few others have not.

10-21-2009, 08:02 PM

That's why we're ALL in the Asylum!!!

Now, here's the numbers from our shopping trip....

Local Taxes - $3.50

NC Tobacco Tax - $3.61

SCHIP - $3.28

Total Taxes - $10.39

And that was on less than $80 purchase.

For those of you on the ""Bash the retailer"" Bandwagon, enough is enough.

Funny that acarr had to do the SAME thing in AZ that a certain retailer here had to do....But NO MENTION of Pete Johnson making this a requirement???

Not bashing here... But the only problem with the numbers are the manufacturer pays the SCHIP tax, not the retailer. If a buyer from out of state buys, then they don't have to pay that states sales tax either.

All comes down to Buy them if you want them or don't if you aren't willing to pay the price.

Who gets "stuck" with paying the floor tax?

The out of state issue does not hold try in every state either.
