Just to set the record straight......
No one bringing firearms or products in to Canada internationally is doing anything any different than anyone else as far as the procedure goes. It is completely up to us as dealers, to be competitive. That's it and that's all.
Cheers !!

Running Guns.....accross the border

Good to know. I'm glad to see you guys onboard and offering us really competitive prices. eg Glock 19 for $825

Understood, the real question is why so many dealers say they can't/won't get an item, for example 9mm AR mags, show me one dealer in all of Canada that is bringing these in.
Big fan of Dlask, but there's a huge untapped market for special orders - that was never beyond the reach of the dealers, just not of sufficient interest/profit incentive.
This may prove to be a missed opportunity, but there's always a hungrier dealer out there to meet demand and 2013 will show how big an opportunity that was. -
Yes, like stepping up to the plate after being pushed to do so by the new kid.

If I win the 50 million lottery I might set up a company to order in stuff that will never make money like track links for Bren carriers and bolt stops for Mauser Broomhandles. I will be like St Nicholis for people with odd hobbies.People should not have to fear both the government and the criminal. It should be that the criminal fears both the people and the government.

LOL. Good on DLASK for stepping up regardless. They are a good vendor. Originally Posted by bollox

I hate that!! I'm currently waiting for 3 different firearms from other Canadian vendors right now with this status and it sucks bigtime! -
If I get the jist of the OP it looks like irunguns has a few importers/dealers a little on edge..........
-
We are not on edge........we will be competitive. You must bring things across in volume, establish trade relations like with any business. Nothing special there. But like I said, we all pay the same costs coming across the border. There are costs that go directly to the US Govt. More goodies coming.......just you guys wait !!

Yea, sort of like the Walmart of guns entering the canadian market...who doesn't shop at Walmart? Originally Posted by bjs7293

Canadian dealers can easily challenge Irunguns, the key is to import bulk items that can be sold more competitively than the more costly individual import cost process of Irunguns, and I can see that Dlask is already doing that, so good job guys. Import more mags please!!! (Glock 10/17, 9mm AR, and the list goes on....) -
I don't shop at Walmart. Haven't set foot in one since high school....who doesn't shop at Walmart?
