Less than 2 years later in 2021 the replacement frame cracked and unbelievably Yeti are just walking away from it. Supply chain challenges have had Yeti scrambling since fall 2020 to overcome inventory shortages amid elevated demand for its products.įinally, Yeti has been instituting an “optimization” that includes trimming its wholesale base to approximately 3,000 independent accounts. After ongoing problems it was eventually concluded in 2019 that the frame was faulty and Yeti provided a new replacement frame under the warranty.

“To be clear, Lowe’s has been a great partner, and has worked closely with us as we have continuously experimented with how to best serve their customers and shopper patterns,” said Matt Reintjes, CEO, Thursday on Yeti’s fourth-quarter call.
