Oh I have moved on.
Remember that this a public forum and we are allowed to express our opinions. As well I have run a business and know that there are not vast amounts of monies always to be made, however he has a website and advertises items for sale at his price.
How about last summer when I placed an order over a month in advance, not including the time involved in the intial contact as many people have noted takes some considerable time and effort for some reason. I originally requested 20,000 pieces in 9mm, 40S&W, and 45 ACP. No problem was the answer from BDX. "I can produce 90,000 pieces a day" was his quote. Who would have thought that after talking to him a couple of more times to firm up the date I would pick it up and after giving him my credit card info that 3 days prior to picking up the order I would hear over the telephone...."who, I can't remember that order. Oh it is going to take me a while to get that together." I had to stay overnight and wait until the afternoon the next day to pick it up and I only received 15,000 pieces of what I wanted out of the original 20,000 pieces.
I never asked for it to be on my door step the next day. I never asked for more than his daily output in his words. I never beat him down and asked for an unreasonable discount. I never asked for anything out of the ordinary. I asked for 20k pieces of his product with plenty of advanced warning which he agreed upon and to be picked up on a specified date that he agreed upon as well. Seemed like a pretty easy business dealing. I am here to tell you it was anything but easy with BDX.
I have moved on. Believe me I have. If this is the treatment you expect when you drop two to two to three thousands dollars for a product than I guess I have expectations way off the chart then.
You can go off about how hard it is to do this and that but your excuses don't wash. I am sure he is a stand up guy but plain and simple, poor business skills. When in business, you are not in business of making excuses for your customers. You are in the business of supplying a product or service for a price. Live up to your end and your customers will live up to theirs.
