I'm changing my signature to "Boycott Natchez Shoters Supplies, Inc"
I began a quite personal boycott of Natchez a couple years ago when I found out that they won't sell to me because I live in Alabama. Nothing wrong or illegal, just Natchez won't sell to people who live in Alabama, Tennessee or Georgia. I can only guess that they value their sales to dealers in those states more than individual online/mailorder sales.
Every so often I have posted on threads when people ask about something Natchez is offering and they mention them in the thread. I post, asking them to boycott Natchez and explain why. Such a thread appeared on another forum today, and I made my usual response. But I have also decided to raise my boycott to a more visual level.
I'm fully aware that we are here to talk about Handi's, but we also discuss a lot of how to feed and care for 'em and I figure lots of us order online, and I just want ya'll to know that Natchez denies to me the same savings they offer to anyone living outside Tennessee, Georgia or Alabama. Apparently they think I should pay a dealer a higher price for the same product, and I ain't playing along no more. I've stopped buying supplies from the area dealers because of this.
I've written 'em and am letting them know how I feel about this policy and that I'm making my boycott more visual, I don't know if this will change anything, but I'm gonna let 'em know that there is at least one fella that is very unhappy with their policy, unhappy enough to let others know just how unhappy I am.
So I'm just asking guys, whenever ya'll buy stuff online to consider NOT buying from Natchez. There's probably a lot of folks who just simply went somewhere else, I've done that too, but from time to time they run really good deal and it would be nice to at lest have the opportunity to reap the rewards along with people who don't live in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
