I cared to share with you guys what happened just over the last 12 hours, with the hopes that it would perhaps make some laugh and/or lift some spirits perhaps, which is something I believe is well needed during these crazy times we're in.
Last night I made a on-line web purchase from an organization that is owned, worked and managed by former military/veteran people.
I've been far more focused these days on what & where I spend my money and place my purchases, especially towards personal cool items of mine.
American made is a must for me, and better yet, if it's American made by people and/or organizations that I completely believe-in/have faith-in, care about and wish to support totally.
Anyhow, back to my last night's purchase.
Shortly after I completed my on-line purchase, I received a couple of emails that I found to be rather humorous -
"OMG.....ANOTHER ONE!!!!"

This original email was quickly followed up by the owner that explained what happened with the first, which made me laugh... I'd say they must be real busy, which is a good thing imo...
"Sorry...disregard email. Was forwarding to my shipping clerk. (Working remotely due to virus.)"
Then I received another followup email from the owner once again, a hour later;
"We wanted to let you know that your package will ship on 04/17/20 via Priority Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope. You can track your package at any time using the link below.
Please allow up to 24 hours for the tracking link to update."

These emails are a prime example why I choose to purchase from an organization such as this one. I was treated as a priority, as I should...
The organization I'm referring to specially in this instance and worthy to share/promote in my book even though I do not have the product currently in my hands just yet, but I have not doubt it will exceed my expectations once I receive it within the next few days.

About Us – Cold Steel Tactical and The Survivor Sling – FIELD Tested in Afghanistan 2018
What is it about Cold Steel Tactical’s The
Survivor Sling that makes it so great? Cold Steel Tactical is a Service Disabled Veteran Small Business Owned (SDVBO) and founded business in the heart of the Midwest, in a small town in Michigan. Our employment focus is Veteran Military servicemen and women and First Responders and other Patriots. The people who protect and serve our citizens and country and keep us all safe day and day out. We try to hire those that have served and their immediate families.
Why you might ask? Because who better to make such a wonderful and useful product inspired by the founder’s own military service and because these veterans know first hand the sacrifices and skills needed to protect and serve. Their families make sacrifices too as their loved ones go off to work or to serve knowing how dangerous their profession and careers are day in and day out.
We want to make great products with great people and maybe have a great time doing so with our co-workers……hopefully without the drama and arguing at the holidays. Our veteran staff is a small group of dedicated people who help us hand make these items for you the customer. Each step is a critical component of our business and we treat our team like family.
This company began like many others, an idea, some free time and a basement. Our founder spent years tinkering away at a design based on a friendly bet from one of his long time friends. That bet was that if he put his mind to it he could invent something useful and cool for the gun industry and the The
Survivor Sling was born. It’s had a few iterations, some starts and stops and lots of customer feedback along the way. We started with just paracord from the local craft store and some basic connectors to what you see today.
We hope you like our story and our products and we hope to continue to grow into the future and see what tomorrow brings.

Veteran Owned
This company began, as did many others, as an idea, some free time and a basement. Our founder spent years tinkering away at a design, based on a friendly bet from one of his longtime friends. That bet was: if he put his mind to it he could invent something utilitarian and needed for the gun industry.
From this friendly bet the Survivor Sling was born. It’s had a few iterations, some starts and stops and lots of helpful customer feedback along the way. We started with just paracord from the local craft store, some basic connectors and developed the sling that is sold today.

So,,,
I believe this is a good example where my purchasing behavior has changed more for the better. I'm more focused on supporting American made type organizations that I believe support much of the same beliefs as mine.
