The glitch that they had should be the actual price for these equipments in my opinion. Everything is overpriced. The competition is non existent with these companies therefore prices are super high.

My “positivity” is towards R2R Reefers, not some large corporation.
You said that no one should be upset by the outcome of this situation and I’m saying BRS handled this so poorly that I can understand why customers could be upset - and am willing to bet on it.

I am upset about the way they resolved this issue.
I didn’t need the doser and was not really expecting to get it. Would have been totally ok if they canceled my order, refunded me and if it ended there. However I am not happy with them offering some customers a 10% discount code and some not.
I don’t really need to buy anything any time soon to cry over a 10% discount code, but why didn’t they just treat every customer alike?
So because Ryan took an investment to grow BRS, not abandon it and chill on a beach somewhere, he now represents a large corporation/evil empire and should be dragged at every opportunity? I just don't understand this philosophy, I guess. You seem to want people to be upset about this, yet weren't actually affected yourself.
Where are all these customers? They aren't posting all over in here. They aren't blowing up the BRS Facebook group.
It is amazing people think BRS should have responded immediately while they were all on vacation/away from work/hungover/etc...
It was a holiday weekend with most people in the world not working. Very few even care about this whole thing.

Never said any of that…
From what I gather from the handful of posts, the squeaky wheel got the grease. Most people got their money back and order canceled as expected and went in their way. Those that took the time to complain, got an apology or another apology and a coupon.
Careful now...you will be told you are wrong and all reefers are on here.
The vast majority of reefers are not on here. It has been years since I saw the poll (and I fully expect the numbers have changed dramatically) but years ago not even 10% of the reefing comminuty was on a forum. Let's say 50% of them are on a forum these days, 90% of those never post a thing. Those of us that do post are in the minority by a long shot

No!
You said that no one should be unhappy with the outcome of the situation. I only said I WILL BET you that there are some unhappy customers. Nothing more.
Any inferences are on your part.

They should also give 10% codes to people who didn’t try to take advantage of the situation.
Heck, why not just have a 10% off sale for all?
That would allow everyone to benefit (as long as they want to buy the 3 products that aren’t MAP restricted).
OK whatever man. You said your positivity extends to reefers but not "large corporations" ie BRS, and you have multiple posts in this and the other thread continually commenting on how ashamed BRS should be over this. Not sure how else to connect the dots. It just struck me as out of character given the other super positive and uplifting threads I've seen you start recently. But agree to disagree I guess.

@Cell you put a lot of words in other people’s mouths. I know cause I choose my words carefully.
Again, you said that everyone should be happy with the outcome. I only wanted to bet you that more than a few customers were unhappy…
Funny how our bantering has evolved to many other areas but the bet.

I agree. After reefing for over 30 years I struggle at times with forums as the advice can be just outright wrong at times, or in the totally opposite direction. Then you happen to say that and some get all over one another.

I got a coupon and certainly didn't complain. Wasn't worth my time to complain. Everyone should have gotten a discount code, those who didn't either haven't received it yet, got it but haven't seen it because it's in a spam folder or an updates folder (Gmail), or there was another glitch affecting e-mails (lol). But seriously, no complaint from me and I got a coupon code, so I would bet everyone did/should be getting one.

I didn’t order because I knew it was an error, where is my code?!? (J/k)
Oh the irony. I never said anyone should be happy about any of this. I'm not even sure I said nobody should be upset, gtinnel said that, but it's a fair inference from my comments so I'll give it to you.
I don't understand the idea of a bet that won't be paid on and cannot be proven.
