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.

wavescrashing · 10-21-2009, 01:15 AM

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

thats some bullchit right there! Im sure Pete would love to hear about the price gouging going on.

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.

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?

Whatever happened to people doing the right thing because, it's the right thing to do?

I think some of the responsibility has to fall back onto Mr. Johnson to make sure his customers aren't being taken by greedy B&Ms and vendors. It really takes away from the enjoyment of the hobby.

Chris.....

P.S. I'll be staying away from the madness that the Drac has created.

I agree...but I still want them. I wish he would just make 50,000 boxes so everyone could get them...if they are as good as people say then they would sell no prob.

Newlife,

Please explain where the price gouging is going on??

13 sticks in a box at $13 each - hmm....$169 in my book

And, if you wanna sling mud, newlife, read your email completely.

The sampler is $80 - the TAXES are over $15.

That's not gouging. That's SCHIP and your NC legislation.

I'm gonna guess that you totally MISSED the comment about the PREORDER status or the COTMC members??

When Pete Johnson pockets the profits directly, HE is the reason for the ridiculous pricing, NOT the B&M stores.

Wow, 13 locations get the split of 1,000 boxes. And the B&M Owners are at fault for this??

Give me a break.

acarr · 10-21-2009, 02:14 PM

This kind of stuff may boost temporary profits but it sure seems there are a lot of unhappy customers. That is never good for business. The other limited production stuff like Oliva V Maduro's or Opus X is/was available to pretty much all who wanted/wants it.

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.
