Yeti online shopping review
Score free shipping and military discounts but don't expect frequent sales.
Yeti’s high-end coolers and tumblers are geared toward the avid outdoorsman — so they’re built to withstand even your wildest adventures. The brand has recently expanded its inventory to include a wider variety of tumblers, ramblers and coolers, as well as branded merch and other goodies. The main drawback to shopping here is that sales are few and far between.

Reviews and complaints: Is Yeti legit?
Yeti holds a 2.1 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot. Customers complain about poor customer service, shipping delays and products that don’t sufficiently heat or cool their beverages. On the flip side, some shoppers say they were pleased with the quality of their purchases — though many still note that they had a difficult time with customer service agents.

Expert review
I own several Yeti products, including a Rambler tumbler, Rambler wine tumbler and the High & Dry five-gallon bucket. These products live up to their reputation and are extremely well-made and durable. Not to mention the fact that they keep my coffee hot — maybe even too hot — and my wine chilled.
I will say, though, that some of the products besides the drinkware seem to be more novelties than anything else. I purchased the five-gallon bucket for my husband, who has a huge collection of buckets from Lowe’s, Home Depot and the like. Honestly, this gift was more of a “collector’s item” than something completely useful. At the end of the day, it functions just like his other $3 plastic buckets.
