Powder IS HERE!

So.... I take it that both bullseye and titegroup are sold out? I never did get any sort of confirmation on my order...

It might be nice if the business rep would answer the questions in the post rather than engage the disgruntled peanut gallery.

Just saying
 
I don't mind paying more for powder when it comes available and I'm desperate. So I paid $36 instead of the $28 for a pound when no other supplier has it. Big facking deal! $8 bucks more gets me my powder when I want it. If people don't want to pay a few extra dollars then that leaves more for me and I'll be shooting and they'll be wishing they had more powder on hand. What I get fired up about is how much more powder costs in Canada vs the US. Even at marked up prices you see at vendors' tables at matches state side, I still bought 16 lbs of N133 for about $60 more than what it would cost to buy 8 lbs in Canada. Go figure.
 
TSE's prices are the highest in Calgary on the new stock, but I had to buy some there yesterday as I could not get enough from WSS and CSC. WSS was $36.90, CSS was $38 and TSE $41 on the powder I bought. CSS got very little powder in yesterday, but still was 8% cheaper than TSE, so volume I believe makes no difference, or CSS just has way lower margins. And the prices I just quoted, were all brand new stock that arrived the past 2 weeks. :)

I shake my head when I read posts accusing us of gouging.

We do not control the prices and mark up our products once they hit our dock as little as we can so that we may remain competitive. If the price is too high, chances are we did not get the best price because of volume, or simply because we got hosed.

Sometimes, just to get a product, we pay a premium so that we can supply it.

Either way, our pricing is always as competitive as we can be. Which is also why we rarely "price match". We simply cannot afford to.

I make no apologese as I firmly believe TSE offers a lot of products at great prices and usually with good inventory levels to support the shooting sports.

JR. For every person who complains about the TSE gouging, may I assume their allowed powder allowance? I want more 8208!

I understand, but CSC and WSS did not get powder from the same place I did so I have no idea what they paid, or at what USD value it was pegged against.

I'd still gladly pay a couple extra bucks to buy off the small guy rather than the big box stores. Plus when going to the big box stores they don't always have stock, but you seem to have what I want most of the time. Some things that you stock are cheaper and other things are more expensive but it goes the same way for them. I've placed my order and I'll be in later today or tomorrow morning to pick it up!

Folks need to wake up, powder prices are going up, CDN dollar is tanking. At both my fav stores in BC and ON the new stuff are up at least 30%. Get it while you can, it is going to be ugly for a while.
 
What I would really really like is for target sports to start stocking reloading supplies. That goes for powder, primers and reloading machines.

JR can you please start stocking up your other store please

Chris,

We had powder, primers, brass and bullets at Target for about 18 months and sold almost nothing.
