THE TRUTH BEHIND MOUNTAIN HOUSE #10 CAN SHORTAGES
|
 |

Everything we've been told by Mountain House as to why they no longer wholesale to the many independent distributors they've had for many years has turned out to be totally false.
I've learned the greedy truth.
According to the Sherman Antitrust Law, it's a Federal violation to "price fix" with a mandatory minimum retail price setting. Especially when you have a monopoly on a product, like MH does.
Manufacture's have been doing that, illegally, for years. Finally, someone got fed up and had the gumption to take'em to court.
The lower courts upheld the law, but on appeal, it went before the psychos at the Supreme Court. In a split decision, the Sherman Antitrust Law was diluted and the consumers (the final losers in this thing) were tossed under the bus.
You can read the decisions of the Judges in this case HERE .
For the past few years, some of the larger ("no discount") retailers of MH food (Nitro Pak, Emergency Essentials, Safecastle - and a few others) complained to MH about us little guys, because we were offering discounts when they wouldn't.
Realizing that their sales of #10 cans was going through the roof at the moment, Mountain House decided to "cash in" on this illegal evaluation of the law by FORCING their retailers to ONLY sell at MH's MSRP (Manufactures Suggested Retail Price). Then MH told all us "smaller" distributors that "due to unprecedented demand, we're so backorderd that we must stop sales to all but our "oldest" distributors".
In plain English: You will now be forced to pay THEIR retail prices, which Mountain House has set. No discounts will be offered, except with MH's written consent
(As of now, this only effects their #10 can products, not their foil pouches.)
I had a long talk with MH the other day, and they decided to "allow" me back into their distributor list so I could start selling #10 cans again.
Once I discovered their nefarious plan, I refused.
I WILL NOT condone illegal behavior or screw the public or my customers.
As of Sept. 1, 2008, ANYONE who sells Mountain House #10 cans MUST sign an agreement that they will ONLY sell at full retail prices.
Survival Enterprises has built their business based on honor, a high level of business ethics and the willingness to offer our customers "a deal". I will BE DAMNED if I'll allow someone else to mandate my prices or threaten to cut me off from their products if I don't conform.
I'm sure you'll find a source of Mountain House #10 cans, if you MUST have them. Just look on http://www.ofd.com and you can find their "legitimate dealer" list and you WILL pay full retail.
Which, by the way, MH just raised!

MRE SPECIAL
|
 |
 |
Hey team:
We got over 1,000 cases of 2004 manufactured MRE's in last week. They were supposed to be taken, but one guy backed out of the deal (leaving me holding 400 cases), so I'm going to pass these on to ONLY forum members and Survival Enterprises established customers.
We still have plenty of the 2006 MRE's left (see'em at http://www.mredirect.us) at $85 a case, but I'm going to make a special deal on the 2004's.
$65 a case! Get'em while they're hot, 'cause they're not going to last.
12 complete meal units per case. They'll store in cool area up to 20 years, though I know one guy in Texas who finally ate the MRE meal he'd had under his truck seat for 10 years and he said it was fine.
Give us a call (9am to 8pm Pacific Time - 7 days a week) at 1 800 753-1981 to place your MRE order.
