My order from Cutter was here the same time my order from Rapidled, ordered on the same day... 4 days to get here... My order from Jerry took a week and a half and much longer to confirm the order. I love both places and am more then happy to do business with both...I dont know if Cutter was ever cheaper in the end was he? He was only cheaper because he shipped the slowest method possible. And he didnt have the stock that Jerry did so how would he fulfill large orders? Correct me if I am wrong though.
Who has been trying to order from cutte and them not be able to fill it. I have read this a couple times so far, yet no one has actually said...hey they couldn't place MY order. Who is the "MY" and actually had this happen. Not saying it didn't happen, but who was it and how big an order? Cause jerry's stock is not big either. And I have had him not fill orders, or take weeks to accumulate enough to fill.I dont know if Cutter was ever cheaper in the end was he?

Maybe months and months ago Jerry was like that... Hes had good stock of most everything for awhile now. Occasionally runs out of this or that, but thats pretty normal. Also, I thought Cutter was selling 3590 for $42? What happened to that? I am seeing $44 on his site w/ the code.Who has been trying to order from cutte and them not be able to fill it.

I know what jerry's stock had been like. It is not big. And to think that cutter doesn't have what jerry does baffling. REAL was the first I saw the claim from...and we all know he has never and will never order from cutter. So I do question it. I have ordered a lot of monos(~2000) from cutter 4 years ago, and they were shipped instantly. And ordered a small amount last year, and were shipped instantly again. And they have come to me as a distributor, and I know what they could do. I don't use them or KB but don't like seeing BS.Maybe months and months ago Jerry was like that...

And if Cutter is going with 3-4 day shipping for cheaper, sounds like the savings is there. Maybe Ill try him out my next order.
Thanks Gene, appreciate the balanced perspectiveI know what jerry's stock had been like. It is not big. And to think that cutter doesn't have what jerry does baffling.

Cutter is an authorized cree distributor and must abide by pricing regulations set by cree in their agreements, just like many industries and products distributed. But they work around it with codes and discounts, and that is impressive imo. Jerry has gotten in trouble from cree for his pricing too...and why you must email him now. I know the routine.
I don't really care who people go through, but I am definitely smell some BS on some statements putting doubt towards cutter in favor of some others. Just calling it how I see it.
Not saying Cutter is bad, but until he gets drivers, savings is negated by having to purchase drivers elsewhere.I know what jerry's stock had been like. It is not big.

They offer a sale price...just as Jerry has to be emailed. If Jerry had a code, that would work too. It has to do with advertised prices. And again cutter is a authorized distributor(contracts signed). They are partners. Jerry is not. Jerry can tell Cree to go pound sand. All that will happen will is his hook up "might" tighten up.Not saying Cutter is bad, but until he gets drivers, savings is negated by having to purchase drivers elsewhere.
That said, I think its funny how its OK for one retailer to sell under Cree's number with "work arounds" but its not ok for the next guy. Same fucking thing in the end so dont act like Cutter is above Jerry for selling and getting busted by Cree. Cree can hit Cutter just the same if they choose to, discount code or not....
We did not add to the range as did not see much use here, but can offer these if you see it as usefulDoes anyone have cxb-3590 in 2700k for reasonable prices yet?
why would you order heavy drivers from the other side of the world? they ship via airmail, heavy stuff = expensive via air. thats what shipping containers are forNot saying Cutter is bad, but until he gets drivers, savings is negated by having to purchase drivers elsewhere.
