We will be putting in a "FAQ" tab on our webstore soon. In the meantime here are a few that are asked almost daily.

1 - Free Freight on orders over $300 to most of Canada. Unfortunately White Horse and Yellow Knife freight rates are impossible - example Canpar 40 lbs to White Horse = $250 +. On a side note I will be at the White Horse gun show in late July with a large supply of ammunition.

2 - We don't have a retail store front and can't allow visitors. It's not that we aren't friendly - we have open cages and we would have to close them and stop production every time we have a visitor.

3 - We don't order used brass - we get drums and drums of it and sort it - some by hand. If the web site won't let you buy 2 or 3 or 10 of a calibre then there aren't that many on our shelves and we don't know when to expect more. Keep looking as it changes every few days.

4 - This one should be part 2 of #3. We don't keep a list of customers looking for rare brass.

5 - We will be adding an email newsletter function to our webstore in the near future.

6 - We charge HST, GST and PST as the law states. The provinces all state the regulations as to how web sales are taxed when product enters their province.

We want to thank CGN and its members for giving us the opportunity to reach all of the gun public in our forum.

A small area separate of your main business/ warehouse for local pickup would be fantastic. Just a desk with computer and debit machine would be awesome . I live part-time in Calgary and would love to avoid the whole waiting around for a courier that may or may not knock on my door. I'd be more inclined to patronize your business if you had local pickup.
 
I'll go with the free shipping over pick-up any day -- hard to get to where you are from here.

BTW, it's also nice that you still sell leaded solder for my electronics hobby/business.
Leaded solder is still the best and most reliable.

I can get ammo and solder in one place. :)
 
These guys who would "rather" you do this or that have no idea what running a business is like. The labour costs, rent, utilities, insurance, taxes, etc, etc would negate any benefit of the business that any in small number of in person patrons might provide. Just wait for your package like the rest of us
