IIIGear Update


Massive shipment went out today.  Included a lot of stickers/patches that had been waiting for backorder.

I'm waiting on another shipment of patches (which include a new one, to be unveiled once they arrive).

For some reason, several of our last shipments have been taking a lot of time inside USPS from the time I drop them off until they arrive at your door.  One order took 5 days from my door outside of DC to Pennsylvania.  Just an FYI.

You'll never believe this: Hoodies are in and I am good with the artwork!!  New OD III Tees also arrived, and a few of you still have Liberty Congress shirts coming.  We'll get all of that stuff out first of the week. 


 
One of our III Patriots runs a tee shop so we gave him our next order - he'll be printing up the III Arms/Molon Labe tees we talked about a few days ago.  I have a button for his shop I'll be posting on the right sidebar in the next few days.  Sorry it seems so long for me to answer email and get simple tasks done these days folks, we are swamped and working to get Miller all set for his first III Arms gun show. 

I rec'd an email from a new potential IIIGear customer today who asked why we charge $20 for a patch - so I explained.  I will explain here as well, since our audience is much, much larger today.  All of our III Gear is a revenue source for the 527, our Advocacy group that we use to buy our radio and other media buys, expand the III Brand, grow our audience, et cetera.  Our purpose is to let the entire community of Patriots across America know the III exists, for what we stand, and our role in the coming storm.  So, we aren't trying to scalp you on patch prices, we're financing operations.  (btw - still not one person receives a salary for the 527.  It remains a volunteer project.)

You'll notice on several of the items available at IIIGear that our prices are competitive with retail prices, especially when you add the fact that everything leaving our shop is now branded with the III.  Our KA-BARs and Cold Steel, for instance, are essentially provided at cost.  That's a service we decided to undertake for Branding and morale, rather than operating funds.  We decided that if we could put a good product in your gear kit or Go Bag that sports the III Brand, we'll grow tighter as a group.

So - that's the "why" about IIIGear pricing.

As we are prepping for Miller's show the 527 has added a few new items to the menu.  Once they arrive in the shop we'll put them up.  Most will be limited runs, we like to keep the gear fresh in design.

Backorders: We have some KA-BAR and Cold Steel on backorder.  KA-BAR said they'll be shipping early next week.  The Cold Steel Magnums are still "unknown" for delivery dates.  Condor is catching up, rec'd a shipment this week.

Remember, if we've connected in the last week or so, give USPS a chance to get your gear delivered.
