BULLETS.COM WRAPPING UP
Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately, the time has come for Bullets.com to be wrapped up as a business.
Some history:
I owned the URL Bullets.com for many years, and decided to have a stand alone business that dealt in shooting supplies since I am so involved in shooting. Unfortunately, the timing of the launch just over 3 years ago was not good due to the market being so hot. We were unable to buy some products (powder, primers & some shooting supplies) directly from the manufacturers and had to buy them through middlemen. Often, we were accused of gouging when the reality was that we were paying a premium, higher price to a middleman. In any case, that’s neither here nor there.
THE PLAN:
1) Bald Eagle branded products – this is our house brand with most items designed by us and brought in from overseas by ourselves. Rests, rifle cases, safes, etc. These products will be shifted to and available from Grizzly.com.
2) Bartlein Barrels – shifted to Grizzly.com
3) Manners and Keystone Rifle Stocks – shifted to Grizzly.com
4) March Scopes – March Optics is a separate company and doing very well. March Scopes will continue to be available directly from March, as well as from many dealers, including Optics Planet. March has its own personnel and you will be able to speak to a March salesperson directly.
5) Pacific Tool & Gauge – shifted to Grizzly.com
All other brands will be discontinued and sold off at or below cost. In fact, many items are already below cost and almost everything will be marked down by the end of today to get rid of stock. This is your chance to stock up on supplies of anything we carry at very good pricing. Once it is gone, it’s gone and no backorders will be taken.
SHOUT OUT TO THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES:
* Berger Bullets – A classy company with great products and excellent people.
* Sierra Bullets – Good people, good products and easy to deal with.
* Norma – Another great company with excellent products.
* Nosler – Excellent quality products and good folks.
* Berry’s Bullets – Very good handgun bullets, and easy to deal with.
* Redding – Fantastic products, excellent to deal with.
The goal is to close down Bullets.com as a separate business. None of our employees will be lost. They will be re-allocated into some of our other larger businesses that are doing really well and growing.
No, Bullets.com is not going bankrupt! Every bill is being and will be paid as usual. The business is being shut down as it is losing money and needs to be integrated into a similar business.
Unfortunately, even though I own many businesses, Bullets.com was a specialty business that could not fully be integrated into one of the others. The products like Bald Eagle, etc., will be integrated into Grizzly.com as mentioned before.
Ultimately, the URL, Bullets.com (very valuable on its own,) will be disposed of to the right party at the right price.
We appreciate the patronage of many customers in the past and are sorry we have to take this step. Our goal is to be done by the end of March 2018.
Sincerely,
Shiraz Balolia
