    I've had to use my yeti warranty. They stand by their product free return shipping and free shipping on the new one. Buy yeti. And yes I use mine everyday for work, I'm gone days at a time and am happy w their performance. I've got a 65 for the boat a 20 for the work truck and my wife has a 20 bag for the kids in the car.

        Call them and see what they say, but be warned to prepare to see the UPS man with your new one in a couple days...

          Wal mart fixing to have all the roto molded coolers you want and cheaper than RTIC. As a bonus they won't finance their business with your $$ sitting on it for months. Gonna be a heck of a deal.

                I was on the early order. Got it in January I think it was. Just now got around to using it.

                  Don't kid yourself buddy.

                    Are you referring to the Ozark Trail cooler? Those look like the others. But they are always out of stock. My local store has been carrying the OT tumblers since Christmas but are always out. The shelf has a place for them but never any there. Figure the coolers will be the same.
                    Ive heard Buccees is going to add RTIC coolers to the tumbler line but don't think its happened yet. I think for the $, the rtic is the best deal besides the Ozark Trail at wm.

                        I am never buying another non Yeti product again.

                        Bought the Rtic 45, waited 4 months for it, and several delays.

                        Tested it out alongside my other Yeti products over the 4th of July. The Rtic doesn't seal the same way, the latches are super soft rubber, my drain plug leaked on the Rtic 45 and it didn't hold ice like our Yeti's. Real world test isn't sitting coolers side by side and not opening them for 24 hours to see how much melt is there. Put those suckers in direct sunlight outside 24/7 in 105 heat index temps and have kids and adults get drinks out of them 20+ times per day, then see how much ice you have. That is real world testing.

                        Rtic had my money for 4 months. How much interest did they make on all that money they hold while they wait to ship?

                        I sold my Rtic to my neighbor for 150...took that money and replaced it with another Yeti for our collection.

                        They are not the same. I will pay more for a Yeti anyday over Rtic and their crappy quality knock off.

                        Rant over.

                          I love mine. I don't think they are making any money on interest. I'm sure they are buying containers full of coolers. Remember how long it took to get our bulk camera buy.

                            Considering they are probably paying up front for their product and running a business while they wait, probably none.... And if for some odd business reason
                            they were, you are talking 2% a year on $200-300... So $4-6 whole dollars/3 since it just 4 months... So $1.25-2. I seriously doubt that's happening... Nor is it even worth worrying about.

                            It would be even less when you consider it would be on their margin/profit if they are paying up front for just cost. Again minimal but probably zero considering they are paying salaries and accruing expenses while they wait for delivery.
