Concern about Prepper Gun Shop

[Non Political Californian]

If order don't come to fruition down the road, then that's a different argument.

Literally don't even care. His actions up front allowed me to order from many other shops and get lots of stuff in my hands. I'll buy higher margin items from him in the future just to say thanks.

Wow, 700 orders a day, how many people do you have, just making boxes?



From under 2 ft of snow, no less.

Yeah as an ecom business I hate orders that require boxes when we are slammed.

Is this also the B&M sub forum now?

Again with the petty materialism.
Preppers was the tip of the spear by openly declaring their intent to f some s up.
They alone were the first to announce their new policy and they alone caused others to follow.

It does not matter if they never ship a single mag. I don't even care if they never had any inventory to begin with. Their direct action caused others to follow suit and that's all that matters.

Exactly, and on the flip side, it's people that OP that make other vendors wonder if it's even worth it. No good deed goes unpunished as they say.

People know the risk, they understand the stakes when they place an order. Most people in this forum are pretty reasonable people and understand what these vendors are facing, and know enough to leave them the heck alone afterwards and let the chips fall where they may.

Preppers has been good to use in California, many items that were difficult to obtain they came through, especially during SSE period. I ordered Friday night they shipped Tuesday arrived today Thursday. Too bad about your experience with them. Enjoy your day

This is about far more than "muh mags", and if you had nothing to drill out, and put 100% of your orders into a single vendor, well, you're legitimately dumb.

The joy of my packages arriving in the mail. Grasping them as they are handed to me by a bluehaired freak with a nosering and rainbow tattoos. I get to experience that on a daily basis now.

Preppers was first on the call
Jestice was first to update shipping terms to FOB
Brownells was the first MAJOR shop to open the floodgates
PSA not only opened the floodgates, they submitted an affidavit, painting a target on their backs
Magpul was the first major manufacturer to open the floodgates to direct sales.

I don't care that Preppers backed off, they inspired others to jump in. All that matters. This is how direct action works and ensures total victory in what is already a total war. Recognize what this is and adjust tactics accordingly. It's great that this went through legal channels, but there must be zero hesitation allowed when the door opens even a little.

When someone is willing to be the tip of the spear, and does a great job at being that tip. You reward the hell out of them and keep them pointy and sharp regardless. And we can all enjoy giving the scum in sacramento the full shaft up to their eyeballs.

Yep, Preppers made every other vendor stop and say "Crap this is probably legit, let's look at this." That was their primary contribution.

If you look at studies of leaders vs followers of any movement, the 2 most important people are the initial leader and the first vocal follower. The initial leader steps out in front and people watch what happens and question if they should join. The first vocal follower joins the leader, and then everyone else joins in. Without the first 2 the movement never occurs.

Preppers was first on the call

I will agree that Preppers was the tip of the spear and deserved to be recognized as such.

Brownells is now selling, picked up a D60 and put a D50 on backorder. Now to figure out how to hide them from the wife hahaha. I already got about 100 30 rounders so I don’t need any more really.

Nice for them, they waited though, reward the shops which acted first. Cucking must never pay in any way, no matter how temporary.

Jestice
Preppers
PSA
Brownells

These are my go to places from now on. Literally don't even care if it costs less elsewhere.

Brownells was the first MAJOR shop to open the floodgates

I am also glad that you finally recognized Brownells as being a legit player in this saga instead of panning them as 'cucks'. They had a bit of work to do to get their website reprogrammed to accept CA shipments, and it was a weekend. But by Monday morning, the floodgates opened as you say. Perhaps no other single supplier will ship more freedom mags to CA than Brownells.

And Brownells has always been friendly as they can to CA. They were one of if not the the first to accept 03 FFL + COE to keep ammo shipments rolling in to doorsteps across CA.

I'm entirely capable of admitting when I am proven wrong and in fact am thrilled when proven wrong. Changes are made for those who scream the loudest and the reason we are not like the left, is we're good at screaming at places we actually support, and then they actually enjoy the rewards of not cucking.

The middle is a death zone, I just yell at my frens to hurry up and join us in the trenches before they get hit in the crossfire.

and have literal stacks of orders to be packed up. For us to have to take a staff member to try to sift through said stacks of printed orders for a single one that is being cancelled, throws a gigantic wrench in the spokes, and simply is not feasible at this time.

And no, I'm not being "impatient" for a refund. I asked for a cancellation in response to PGS' emailed offer, and was told no, not gonna do that. Really?

We have taken the time, and went to go find and pull your order which would have shipped today, to be cancelled. you will receive a full refund. As for why 4 days ago cancelling was immensely easier than cancelling now, because the orders hadn't been processed and printed yet, so it was only in the computer that they had to be taken care of. Now it's in 3 places. Thanks for your business and we hope you have a fantastic day.

What a whiny little entitled *****. Thanks for slowing down the process for the rest of us.

I'm not "new." I am a years-long lurker, and have not signed up to post prior largely because of the attitude I'm getting in this thread (seen often across the forum).

LOL. Welcome to the page, old-timer. Hope you can hang.

^^^ This is why I'm not complaining. It's like black friday, christmas eve, and cyber monday hitting all at once. I'm just going to sit here patiently, twiddle my thumbs and snicker at all the salt while I wait for my order.

Thanks, PGS, for being the first to step up and help us out behind enemy lines. And for working with Chuck on the legal filing for opposition to stay. Truly above and beyond.

And I just got my tracking number

Just received tracking number for order placed late Friday night (technically Saturday). They are working through the backlog.

Thank YOU and Thank You Everyone else in this thread for knowing we're not trying to be dicks like some people think. We've literally gotten some just plain supportive "hey, you guys rock" phone calls today, and you know what, i'm not gonna lie, it gave me a little boost and I passed that all on to everyone else. so THANK YOU EVERYONE! We truly appreciate it. It sounds like we're down to only a few hundred orders left to get through, so the initial wave is almost completely caught up. That means, if you've got balls enough to keep ordering, we're sending em till we cant. THAT SAID, I can't keep on with the free cancellations. If you order this late in the game, we both know the stakes. THANK YOU CALIFORNIA, WE LESS THAN THREE YOU!

Can confirm you are here for us. I GOT MY PACKAGE A DAY EARLY TODAY!!!! With the ****ery going on, that could literally make or break my ability to have a good supply standard cap mags at all. A lot of shops did not do priority shipping. I might not get those orders!

Haters can get ****ed as far as I'm concerned. Great job! Thank you! God bless the great USA and patriots like you!

Just got my tracking info. I must admit that I wasn't too hopeful earlier in the week, but was going to ride it out and see what happens. I've never been more happy to be proven wrong. I think you guys handled yourself outstandingly throughout this saga and I know you made a believer out of me. Now I get why everyone loves you guys. Thanks for supporting us here behind enemy lines.
