Cooler wars getting real.

[weedwacker42]

This may or may not be something to consider but after first reading this post, and never hearing of Atlas before, I logged onto their website and found mugs very similar to Yeti mugs so I went ahead and purchased a 20 oz. and 30 oz. because they were cheap and I wanted to compare them to my Yeti's. That was exactly 3 weeks ago today and I have still yet to see them.

Same for me. I ordered 2 of each. I got a UPS message with a tracking number on 5/13. When I check the number it still says
"Order Processed: Ready for UPS".

I emailed them on Thursday and still no response. Feeling like I got scammed. I used PayPal so maybe there is some recourse if I don't hear anything from them tomorrow.

I just got this email from Atlas.

Your order is still on backorder due to unexpected inventory shortage. We are expected to have inventory ready to ship by 6/1/16. We thank you for your patience and are happy to offer a 50% credit on your order if not received by 6/3/16.

Thanks agian for your patience and we promise its worth the wait!

AK Troutbum, I just got the same message. Seems like we just funded a kickstarter.

Maybe I'm too laid back....
As long as I get my cup at some point, I'm good. It's not like I need it tomorrow or else I'll have to cancel a trip, or anything.

I received the same email. But I do not have anything on order. I corresponded with them with some questions about handles and drains, but never ordered anything.

Hopefully not anothe RTIC situation.

What situation? I ordered one and could not be happier with it as I have a yeti also and its no better and double the price! Did it take a while? yes, but we knew that from the start! I can wait if I can buy two for the price of one yeti!

I have no problem waiting either, just so long as they don't forget about me.

Just read the thread, only took six months for them to ship to a bunch of people.

Waiting to hear from some of you boys about your opinions of the product once "in hand",.. and ice holding abilities,.. tale of the tape.

ATLAS COOLER GROUP BUY COOLER UPDATE- GREAT NEWS! DONE DEAL!

Atlas' president was again out of the country, so some delays this week. That said, we spoke this morning and Deal Terms are finalized. The Group Buy is planned to go live on June 1st and it will be open for 30 days, so you'll have plenty of time to place your order. (NOTE- yes, you will be able to share this deal with your friends.) Shipping was a sticky point, but it has been worked out very favorably and will be explained. All coolers sizes and the Twisted Tumblers will be eligible for our discount.

I will create a full post on Tuesday 5/31 with product descriptions and all deal terms. I will post a notice on this General Discussion Forum and the actual "deal" terms/description will get posted on the Rokslide "GEAR DEALS" forum along with a link to the order entry website. As is typical of my posts, it will be comprehensive since I would not want to disappoint anyone by posting something that was succinct.

Cheers!

JL

Thanks for the update. I'm still left wondering though if anyone has actually seen these products in person or has any experience with them. The group buy sounds great but I don't know that I can pull the trigger on something that nobody has even seen or used yet.

 

[GotDraw?]

Several folks from RokSlide have ordered them even before this deal was done. They should have them soon, so maybe there will be some posts from them.

When I post the deal up, it will contain insulation "R" values, etc.

Ok, back to my day job...

Atlas cooler group buy update- I am doing final edits and will post it before I go to bed.

 

[Riverwalker]

Has anyone even seen one of these, touched it, put ice in it?

Nope. 30 days now since I ordered my cups....patiently waiting. On the bright side, I get a 50% credit if they don't show up by June 3, whatever the hell that means. If I ever see these, I plan on doing a side-by-side comparison with my 20 and 30 oz. Yeti cups and I'll definitely report back with the results.

Just a head's up. I received my tumblers today. Seem to be pretty solid. Just like the Yeti Ramblers. Clear lid included. The metal twist at the base is nice. Nothing really to review otherwise except adding that they do not leak from the bottom. Haven't had to keep a cold drink cold or hot drink hot yet.
