Crux Distillery Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Folks, looking for any thoughts on these two companies. Do you use them, success etc. Thanks for your time! A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackheart2 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I have used RangeMe to get into the AAFES system (AAFES requires it). RangeMe is an absolute fucking scam of the worst order. The VA somehow allowed them to be the gatekeeper for veteran-related/certified businesses and the bullshit they pull is absolutely shameful. They want thousands of dollars to 'accommodate' 'introductions' to buyers. Fuck that. That's what your distributor does (when you lean on them). RangeMe is zero value added. They will collect your sensitive personal and business data. You will be absolutely hounded with calls and emails for the privilege. If I wasn't clear before, i am now: I hope they all die in a fire, and whoever empowered these assholes to do what they do for veteran businesses should do so as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Creek Distilling Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 We are a veteran owned distillery and we successfully got our products in the local CGX stores. BUT the AAFES is a nightmare for us. Yes, the Rangeme site is a pain and they are always seeking ways to take money from you and tell you that they can help build awareness and therefore sales (which is a stretch). Now, the buyers for the AAFES tell me that they will look at any brand but they lean on the National and larger Regional brands mostly. What ever happened to giving a Vet a break? BTW, the AAFES still has not accepted our products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrenceburg Bourbon Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Range Me is an absolute scam. Zero value add. I cannot express strongly enough how much of a rip off it is. Basically a confidence scheme. Avoid them like the plague. We are also a Vet owned distillery - no love from AAFES either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range Me is a total SCAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
