Thread: What happened to CCD?

Commercial Cutters Direct- Their website has been down for at least 2-3 days and both their phone numbers have been disconnected. Anybody know what happened to them? Are they gone permanently? I always got great service from them.

The time I ordered from them they sent me a laser bar instead of the Gb I ordered. I tryed to call and no one could help me. I will go with baileys next time.

I have used CCD several times. one time they sent my order to the wrong address and another they screwed up so i have been soured on doing business with them.
There are still in business though as Russ mentioned somehting about stopping in.

I had excellent service from Commercial Cutters. I loved there $9.95 saw chain deal! THey would even let you MIX & Match various sizes, guages, and lengths as long as I bought 10 chains at a time.

I hope they are not Out of Business

I have done a lot of business with CCD. I attempted to call them and look at their website...............same results as everyone else!

CCD is only about 20 miles from where I work . It a good place to do business . There are a few Christmas presents I was thinking about getting for me any how .So I'll take a ride out and let you guys know what I find .

I was told today from our Oregon Rep that CCD went bankrupt last thursday.

Man, that's a shame. They were always helpful on the phone whenever I called them.

any of you guy's that are local to ccd......please find out if they are going to have a clearance sale. i'll run up there in a u-haul truck.

Or send a check to Russ and have him pick up whatever he can get...

You're a lot closer than I am. Keep me in mind please.

russ

now the ball is in your court.........i could see it now russ is out side with the snow plow on his truck trying to stuff all the new saw's and rolls of chain into his garage. sale? what sale?

Fellows, it's all over for CCD. They were repo'd by Husky thur. and fri. of last week.

Can't blame you guys for taking advantage of their prices, but you can't make money selling chains for $10.00 a loop. This is another example of a guy who moves lot's of equipment, wins awards and cruises, and then all of a sudden finds out that he's broke and has to shut his doors. It actually happens fairly often. You know the old saying, "we loose money on every sale but make it up in volume".

A little history here too. Even the name of that business, Commercial Cutters Direct, is a come on. The guy was just a dealer. No one was buying "direct". That was all BS.

Any dealer in the country could set up a website and sell stuff at razor thin margins and hope to move enough product to actually make some money. And for the guys who set one up early, it probably worked for a while. But at some point there are so many people doing it that your volume never gets to a level where there is any benefit to it. Of course there is plenty of benefit to Husky because it doesn't matter to them if the dealer is making money, until they get stiffed, which also happens fairly often.

Not to worry though as there will surely be another dope who will try to follow the same business model.

Spike60 are you going to take their spot at boonville?
