Hey everyone, just a quick update since SHOT.
SHOT was outstanding for TAB GEAR. We came out with a few new items that everyone really likes. We picked up several new dealers around the world too. We also have made contact with some US based contract sewing companies that we are currently working with to see if they can make some of our gear for us too.
Our products are also becoming more well known in the military circles and we've received several large orders from various units throughout the US as well that have taken lots of time to get produced and shipped out.
While we try to keep everyones order inside our self imposed two week window, that has slipped a bit since SHOT due to the increased demand of individual orders, dealer orders and military orders.
We've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to train any of our current employees in constructing our new products yet so I'm the one making all of the new stuff right now, while working on several existing special orders that only I make.
I'm juggling several balls in the air at the moment and am behind with getting inventory out to Lisa for our new line of belts as well at the new QA sling, along with a couple of other products we will be offering.
I know that there is a waiting list with Lisa for the new QA sling. This morning a shipment is going out to her with an assortment of the different colors of our new sling for her inventory.
Rifles Only will always have the first inventory of any new product since they are our wholesaler. All dealer orders will be filled out of the Rifles Only inventory unless they don't have it in stock. In that case Lisa sends the order to me, whether it's an individuals order, a dealers order, or a military order. We make the order at my shop and drop ship it straight to where ever it needs to go.
Due to the demand we will also be offering a version of our new QA sling that will allow you guys to purchase the back half of the sling at a reduced price from the whole sling. You will be able to simply unbuckle the rear section of your existing sling and buckle in the new conversion, and you're off. We will offer it with the Fastex buckles as well as the very popular Cobra buckles too.
While we do have pricing worked out on the new sling we haven't figured out the pricing on the conversion yet. We'll be getting that information up on the site ASAP.
I'd like to take this time to thank everyone throughout the world, individuals, dealers, military units, etc for your continued support of our products. This April we will have been in business six years and it blows my mind that something that started in my kitchen dining room has taken off like it has. It's been your suggestions, comments, and encouragement that have kept us running and having production issues almost from day one.
Also, like many people have posted about the customer service of TAB GEAR and Rifles Only, that is all due to Lisa constantly busting her ass to go the extra mile for me, and our customers. Without her and Jacob helping us out we would not be near the company we are today. If an order is late or screwed up it's my fault because Lisa is constantly going the extra mile to make everything as smooth as possible. Jacob and Lisa are the best and our family loves them like our own.
Everyone take care, and good shooting.
Tony Burkes and the TAB GEAR crew.
