Sent in a receipt, got nothing.
As Boondocker stated, after I did it and got nothing I figured it was a way for Stern to snoop on what their distributors were actually charging. The way they've brought the hammer down on them helps confirm this. I now wish I hadn't sent in the info.
Quoted from jfh:Interesting theory. But why not follow through on sending the shirts?
I don't know other than incompetence or one hand not knowing what the other is doing. But I do know they've really put the screws to their distributors regarding their pricing.
Quoted from Rob_G:You're looking at this the wrong way. MAP keeps prices competitive for ALL dealers and prevents the bigger ones from pricing the smaller ones out of business.
We're not talking about MAP. MAP = minimum advertised pricing. With MAP, sellers have to advertise the minimum price, but they are free to actually charge less. But Stern is forcing a minimum price, distributors are not allowed to go below it. That is not MAP.
There's a little more to it, but I've probably already said enough.
