An industry update for the foreseeable future.
We want to share with everyone the state of the firearm industry in the US and what you can expect for the foreseeable future.
1. Covid 19 pandemic. This resulted in most of the manufactures and distribution chains closing at some point. Whether it was a result of infections or state regulations it seriously strained the industry.
2. Excess sales resulted as the general population thought the world was ending, so like toilet paper and hand sanitizer everyone needed guns and ammunition.
3. Spin off industries were also affected, no boxes, shipping supplies, misc parts needed to complete firearms and accessories were also delayed.
4. Shipping companies were also seriously affected resulting from social distancing and sick employees.
5. Government shutdowns and everyone working from home resulted in further delays as everyone’s work ethic was seriously affected. This affected permits and licencing applications from Government agencies.
Now, lets look at the current situation in the US:
The recent riots and looting here in the US has further taken an almost impossible situation and made it worse. We can not respond to all the emails and phone calls. It takes everything we have just to keep up with processing the orders for export let alone what is being sold in the US.
1. Please accept longer then usual wait times when ordering from our US site.
2. If waiting is not an option for you then please do not order from the US site.
3. If you receive email confirmation on your order from either site know that it is coming, and the product is confirmed.
4. We will only reach out to you if there is a problem with your order.
5. There is a 25% restocking charge on all canceled orders, please ensure you order the right items and you are prepared for extended wait times. if this is not acceptable please do not order from us at this time.
6. We can not combine or add items to any order so please keep this in mind when ordering.
7. Exports to Canada cut off at 5 PM MST on the 15th of each month.
8. You will receive an email to pay your shipping and taxes once the order is finalized, emailing us ahead of time will only cause you undo frustration. There is a process we follow, deviation from policy increases the chance of mistakes. Please understand this.
9. If you do get through on the phone or send an email/PM regarding your order please have/include your name and order number otherwise we can not help you.
We have been advised by US Distribution and several manufacturers to expect unprecedented delays in the replenishing of stock. This includes firearms, magazines, accessories, and ammo.
Canada will experience unparalleled stock shortages, as a result of the current state of the US firearms industry and an upcoming Presidential election in the fall.
If you are contemplating purchasing anything, we would highly recommend you move quickly.
We want everyone to know we are doing the best we can to keep things efficiently moving, and as much as we would like to talk with everyone it is not possible at this time.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
