Here is a quote directly from a Cheaper Than Dirt rep made on The High Road earlier this year. It appears there is in fact some affiliation between the online and physical stores.
We understand the confusion between the catalog, website, brick and mortar stores, and catalog pickup window.
Cheaper Than Dirt! owns and operates the catalog and internet retail sales. It also operates a catalog pickup window inside Cheaper Than Dirt Outdoor Adventures for products in the paper catalog that are in the Fort Worth warehouse.
Cheaper Than Dirt Outdoor Adventures at I-35 and 820 is owned and operated by a separate company. We are paid a licensing fee for the use of the Cheaper Than Dirt name. They can purchase products from us and carry many of the same items, but we do not control their inventory or pricing. There is no overlap of staff.
Cheaper Than Dirt Guns! in McKinney, Texas is set up as a separate company, but shares the upper management of Cheaper Than Dirt!. We have control of this store.
We are now offering products from a number of warehouses on our website. Each warehouse is a separate company not under the control of Cheaper Than Dirt!. This allows each warehouse to set their own prices, including shipping. Each company competes with the other on many of the same products, and manages their inventory and prices. Each has their own agreement with their shipping company. We hope to have a better system in the future that will allow lower shipping costs, but at this point it is still in discussion.
