Where's my holster? - Page 6

Ray, I'm not sure I understand. People paid money for a product that was, at least in my case, never delivered. If Amazon or LL Bean did this on a regular basis, law enforcement would be looking into the matter. It appears others have experienced serious problems with the same maker. Further, a few other custom makers seem to be in "over their heads" regarding delivery times.

Alerting others to a maker repeatedly engaging in questionable business practices is a good deed, in my opinion.

I can wait for good leather and can forgive the occasional lapse in judgement. That is not the problem here.

I agree,and your point is well taken.

Eric you asked in this thread for anyone who has an outstanding order to post so you can get their leather out. OK here goes: Jerry Myers- ordered 1/24/07 - COM3 IWB Burgandy w/ Sharkskin Trim (you should have the rest of the info)/Holster Belt/Magazine holder combo w/ flashligh holder. Hope this helps in getting your backorders in line and sincerely hope my outfit can be completed soon.

Just curious, but what is a non sell list? And why would anyone want to be put on one? If he does not want to order, he won't.

Are you saying there is a list (that he requests to be on) that if he wants to order you won't sell to him? Why would anyone do that?

My reading of his post was he was satisfied with your product and service and recognizes that a retailer might charge more for the convenience.

Even if he did feel the price was too high he willingly paid it and did not mention any names. Now you want him placed on your "non sell" list.

I'm so glad this thread is here, it is letting me know who not to ever deal with and who not to recommend to friends. With this place and their non sell list and Gary Brommeland canceling peoples orders and telling them to "get off my ass" the holster business is looking worse and worse.

Jerry...no worries. Ill get in touch with you soon. Happy Holiday and thanks for the post.
Shoot well and god bless

For all it's worth..... I bought a holster from the gentleman above, LASports, about a year ago. He was very polite and helpful online and his wife was the same on the phone. It was a VMII at a very fair price.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I somehow doubt that Lightning Arms Sports was the retailer in question.

SelfDefense, I think Lasports "list" was tongue in cheek. I found John's use of the term "scalper" was a poor choice at best. Lasports does a great service for those of us who either can not or will not wait. They tie up large amounts of money to provide a service. Plus with the quality of their product line, I do not imagine they buy at much below retail.
And John, I don't think you meant to offend.

I called Coal Creek to see if they had what I wanted, the same item I ordered from Brommeland direct in Jan '07. He thought he had one, but after a brief period on hold I was informed that they had just sold the last one in stock a couple days ago but to check back in two to three weeks and it should be in stock.
