Wool Blankets

Not sure if you are trying to be hostile, but lighten up if you are.

We were offered these surplus blankets, so we took them. Not everything is a scam

The wool blankets are far from a priority given how busy we are right now.

They will come eventually, but they are just blankets, and very low on my list of things to do.

Not trying to be hostile. Simply stating how I feel. I have said I would buy 4-5 of the thread specific blankets. Still willing, however, I don't want to waste money on lesser blankets for the same price and then not be able to buy the ones I spoke for. Not my way of doing business. Too many here already do that and retailers are left holding the stock.

Case in point for me losing out. When you brought the Norinco Ammo in last year. I called and placed an order within the first week for an SKS and a crate to ensure that I would get that ammo. I spoke directly to YOU at the time, not Paul, you confirmed that. I tried to talk you into an ammo/SKS package if I bought more ammo. You said that wasn't going to happen so I bought the SKS AND A CRATE OF AMMO separarately for your listed price. Not TWO WEEKS LATER, you were offering a package deal that would have saved me enough to make a second crate attractive enough to be worthwhile. So, once bit, twice shy. And no one emailed an offer to back date that deal. I just figured that that was the way it goes, and suck it up. Don't want the same deal here.




Last ETA was 'spring'. Spring starts in a few weeks, and runs for a few months. Chill.

As I said below, this shipment coincided with a spring delivery date. Perhaps a stop-gap measure for those of us wanting the blankets.

Wow - so you have how much time, money, sweat and tears tied up in this project???
apparently more than you do.

This is amazing. Let's rip the guy another one. Oh wait. Some folks already are.
Something I learned a long time ago - avoid saying online to someone what you wouldn't say while face-to-face with them.
sorry, I would say this the same way whether online or in person. Feel offended by certain actions and events, I will tell you you have your head up your a$$. Cuts right to the chase. I'm not rich enough to buy friends, so I state it plain.

There's ten minutes of my life I'll never get back. Dirty old blankets. Can't some one just delete this thread and start over?

Holy smokes, it's a mil issue wool blanket for $45. If you want top notch quality look at Woolrich or HBC's blankets but they run for around $400 for the same size.

Could you do like a Hudson Bay or similar. I would buy like 10 depending on the quality how thick etc.
Obviously you people have not read this entire thread. That is what CanAm opened this thread with. A new manufacture blanket similar in size, weight, and quality to the HB blankets (made of Australian Wool) but for $50 each. If I went back through this thread, we would see that some deadlines announced were not met, manufacturers failed to provide samples, materials have changed, continents have changed, dates have changed... NP. Stuff happens. A spring delivery was acceptable to everyone here. Since there was no further info, and knowing that CanadaAmmo has got to be VERY busy right now just trying to get ammo in, I as willing to wait on the blankets. However, seeing the milsurp ones on the site, kind of struck me wrong, ESP with no notice given that the blanket project was still underway. I don't know about you people, but it is quite clear that there is a GENUINE interest in this topic by those that know about blankets and these milsurp offered, coincidentally in the spring, unfortunately smacked of misdirection.
 
no dates have changed. it is not even spring yet. What has affect this, as I said, is how busy the gun industry has become this year due to Sandy Hook, etc. It affects everything we do, especially low priority projects like blankets. Just letting you know, so yu are informed and up to date on what is happening.

FYI we have a 30 day return policy i.e. we honour the sale up to 30 days

Fair enough and thank you.

CanAm, I absolutely appreciate the info update, I do look forward to eventually receiving my blankets. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, the return shipping on a crate of ammo and a rifle would have negated the deal discount and made it no longer worthwhile. As I said, once bitten...

Please, EVERYONE!! I have made numerous purchases from CanadaAmmo. All have been exactly as advertised without fail. I will continue to purchase from them, especially since recent info is out. As I said in my first post, the coincidental occurance of the milsurp blankets so close to Spring, had me a bit confused.
 
I think what some people fail to realize is that not everyone who shops at CanadaAmmo reads this forum. So I'm not sure how you expect them to put a notice on their website. Do you want it to read "Please be advised that these blankets, however great and perfectly described in the title, are not the ones that we talked about getting made of a forum you may have never visited. Thanks!"
 
you don't have to return it to get the price difference
Thank you, again. I will remember this in the future, however, as stated, I never had to return anything, never been so dis-satisfied with any product that I wouldn't keep it and use it. Everything has been exactly as advertised.
30 days is long past and so is the ammo.

But I GET EMAIL UPDATES at least weekly on stuff in, stuff coming, etc...

Never the less, and more to the point...I now have an update.

I looked at bring them in years ago, but never did.

I see there is a thread in OT on the subject, and thought I would revive the idea.

Is anyone interested?

We could sell 100% Australian wool queen-sized blankets for around $50 retail

When are you expecting the stock to come in? 100% Australian wool sounds real good to me I might be in for 4 of the 20oz. I`m in Coquitlam near Burke Mt, any way to avoid shipping?
 
Do the blankets fall under the old '$100' free shipping..... or the New $200 free shipping.

I could use 4 blankets. if they are priced at $49 then I would have to buy 5 and that won't work for me.

Or you could buy 4 and a rough use knife or some other $4+ item and get free shipping
 
people you want a new manufatureed wool blanket look up the price theya are a hundred plus and they are rough still and scrachy and have to be washed in wool light to stop this. I run a venture rover company i scouts canada and bought 15 wool blankets for my scout and i shopped a round i wish i new of canada ammos blankets i bought army surpluse never issued and i gave 60 bucks a blanket. for the kids to sow bages on and camp with. i think cannada ammo is doing a fine job mastakes happen and thats a part of the bussnes look at mc donalds you ever go their and get a #### meal i bet you still go back stop your #####ing you got a whool banket if you dont like it donate it to scouts canada it will make some kid happy to put his badges on.
