Ok, call me crazy. Tax Day Discount for THR folks

I don't know about you guys but my day was not pleasant. Accountant problems - long story short, there were problems that should have been anticipated - but weren't - with the result that I wasted the entire day fighting to get our federal and 2 states-worth of income taxes filed.

As a result, I didn't get a darn bullet made today, for the first time in recent memory. But the night shift showed up on schedule and now we're back in production, with a vengeance. We're going to run at least 75k tonight and be able to fill all open orders, some of which are as old as 2 days now.

So, I was just thinking to myself what a waste today was and how oppressive our tax code is. The hard working people fight every day to put food on their tables and have to pay for those who maybe don't work so hard. A break from this action would be nice, wouldn't it?

Special discount, for no particular reason, for THR people only - for about the next 30 hours you are all eligible for a one-time 10% discount.

Discount code is BostonHarbor just exactly as you see it. It works. If it "doesn't work", then you're entering it wrong and please don't bother me because I'm busy making bullets and don't have time to baby-step you through the process of entering a discount code.

Why that particular discount code? Why, it's in memory of those zany Indians who wasted all that fine British tea a couple of centuries back, don't you see?

Your own little Tea Party! I think it's a great idea, Brad.

Keep up the good work.

Fred

Brilliant! Damn what a great business you run Brad!

some of which are as old as 2 days now

Hey you other boolit-makers... :neener::neener::neener:

Flat Tax time! I saw a report on one of the news channels that a 11% Flat tax would cover every needed tax amount ... no exemptions... If you make 1 dollar you pay $.11 .
The illegals and the rich would pay... no hiding!!

And I agree I hate paying taxes as well as getting them done, but why wait till the 15, and to bypass frustration why didn't you file for an extension? Brad I don't mean to pick on you by any means but it blows my mind on why people wait till the 15th, it comes every year.

I like the sale though and keep up the great work, and I'll tell you like my accountant told me this year, "Nathan, March 1st or your butt". I too ran behind but can't imagine trying to get my corporate and personal taxes done day of.....

Brad, glad to help out a great company! And don't feel bad, I am getting the smallest tax refund as far as I know for 2009. :cuss: - I share your pain.

Just placed the order for another 7K in 9/40/45 - Since I got plenty of bullets already, you can take your time on my order :D

Keep up the great work!

..wasn't me that waited, Nate. Things should have been ready to go a couple of weeks ago but some mistakes were made that had to get backed out. There was a special circumstance this time that was complicated and I think we overwhelmed our rural bookkeeper with the pure volume of our business. Believe it or not, we picked up our "completed, ready-to-be-mailed" returns two times over the past few weeks before today (today made the third and fourth time) only to discover that they weren't nearly complete. So it took 4 tries (and all of my time today) to get it right. But we're there now and everybody's paid.

There was really no reason to file for an extension as we needed to know how much to send to the 3 taxing entities or face penalties. So, if we could get to those numbers, we have all the information needed for the returns as of the moment we derive the numbers.

Ordered 1k of fprn and lswc in 45 a month ago and was quite impressed. I was thinking about getting some more and this pushes me over the edge.

Thanks Brad!

Gotcha, I had 3 guys at work today scrambling to get theirs done, I kind of laughed. Like I said I disagree with the code and commend your sale.

Another 2K of those sweet little IDP#7's. Thanks, Brad!

Ditto--I paid my 10 quarts of blood today that my first run-through suggested I owe. I extended, and will now spend the next 6 months trying to figure out how to deduct my way into getting some of my money back!

Great idea for the discount, Brad. If I ever get into reloading, I will definately give your company a shot.

Well, it's interesting - as noted by Jim Quinn of Quinn & Rose - that Russia has the 17% Steve Forbes Flat-Tax and America has the Karl Marx Progressive Tax.

Hmmmm....

Great news! I also finally get paid tomorrow so I think I'll make a stop at your site Brad. I see some 9mm, .40 and .45 in my near future. Perhaps some .30-something if you're lucky :)

Thanks for the discount Brad!

Didn't really need any right now, but in support I ordered 2K IDP #1 :D

Whats worse is today is my B-day. Uncle sam gets a gift from me again! I'd better get bullets

Oh, what the heck, I've been thinking about restocking for a while. This must mean it is time.

Brad, I have to tell you- if you take a whole TWO DAYS to get my order out, I just might have to cancel. That is almost as bad as a regular old online merchant!

Right here we have a perfect example of why one should never set the bar high; creates too many expectations.

take a whole TWO DAYS to get my order out ... That [is] almost as bad as a regular old online merchant!
He does operate with a "higher" standard than most. Not only that, Brad now self insures his product delivery - so you don't have to fuss with USPS if your shipment is lost/damaged - I don't know of any other online merchant offering that level of customer satisfaction service.

Also, keep in mind that Brad has been very straight with us the past year. His current stock of lead alloy will soon run out and when he has to purchase new lead alloy stock, price will reflect the higher market price of lead.

Over the past 15+ years of reloading, I have only seen the price of reloading components go up, NEVER DOWN. Shooting and reloading is my primary hobby (no golf for me) and fortunately, reloading components have a long shelf-life.

I have been planning to stock up on lead bullets with my tax refund before the price increase he clearly stated would happen in the future, but this tax day sale allowed me to order more bullets.

If you reload, I highly recommend you take advantage of Brad's "generous" tax day sale for us THR "High Roadies" before he come back to his senses. Don't say, "Darn, I should have ordered before the price was increased." :D

Too bad about your dealings with the tax man. I would buy more with the discount, but had to write a check to the infernal renewvers that was about 1/3 of my total income. I am getting tired of BOHICA! :mad:

bds, I'm pretty sure that Mxracer was being facetious.

Brad, thanks for the offer. I think I will probably take you up on it.

:D:D:D

I've been planning on ordering some Missouri Bullets to try for quite some time now, and this finally tipped the scale...

Order sent in a few hours ago, and now I can't sleep due to the anticipation!

I do always enjoy reading these Missouri Bullet threads! It's nice to know that customer service is still alive and well in some parts of the world...

I *knew* there was a reason I was waiting to order a 9mm bullet bundle. :)

Heck, with this discount it's essentially free shipping on that bundle!

I do my income tax ASAP. I start a folder for tax papers the first week in Jan. By mid Feb I have most of what is needed. .Go to the tax accountant when the bookkeeping is completed and have receive 1099 forms etc. If I over estimated the tax due ,the forms are sent in the day it is completed. If I owe $$, the check is mail on the 15th of April..I wont to know if I have spare $$ to spend on the fun thing ASAP.

Crazy or not, I placed my order. :)

Lemme go check the mail to see if it's here yet.

I had to send over a thousand to the feds for little in return:fire:. I sent $100+ to missouri bullets, I get to watch the postman struggle and I get to reload and shoot them (my favorites in that order). A much better deal!:D

Okay I placed an order for 1500 bullets and I am going to laugh so hard at the poor little old lady that delivers the mail. Hope these get shipped out today, can't wait to try them. Thanks for extending THR the awesome discount Brad!

Thanks Brad, I just ordered 2k more bullets.

Mike

Appreciate it, Brad. Just called in an order for 2.5K Really looking forward to try them out this summer. Retirement starts in a couple of months and I'll be spending a lot more time at the loading bench and range.

Got 'em out, Sediment, last order packed before the mail truck arrived.

Outstanding! So far I'm very impressed with the customer service and the expediency of your business. Maybe we should nominate Missouri Bullet Co. for a yellow cape from the yellow pages commercials. Thanks for the fast shipment Brad.

Ordered 2K of your new 140gr .40 to try out.

Thanks Brad!

Justin

^^^ You ordered 2k to try out??? I'd hate to see what you order when you're serious! :)

You ordered 2k to try out???

Well, my last 2 orders the past 2 weeks totaled 10K bullets. I guess I am waaaay past trying out.:D

Roccobro, don't worry, so far they are working out very well for me and gave me enough of confidence/satisfaction to order 7K more - now, why would I do that if I wasn't happy with the bullets? :rolleyes:

Placed an order at 9:34 last night and got an email saying they shipped at 10:30 this morning.

Brad,

You're the best... amazing business you have going there, and the best customer service I've seen in YEARS.

Anyway, I saw I was getting low on alloy, so ordered up 132 lbs to get my stock back up. Thanks a bunch!

OK...you got me...new customer. I've heard a lot of good things about you on this site. Just ordered 500 for the .41 mag. Should keep me busy for a bit.

For those of you that don't want your bullets right away....just send them a note on what day to ship and they will....If you just put in a order they show up right away, if you tell them not for a week or two they won't ship until you tell them to.....If I could only get my dog to mind as well!

Anyway, nice job Brad!.....you just stuck me for another 2k. Now my postman won't bring them....he has a bad back....another guy brings them because my real post guy has a hurt back.....No kidding....If I couldn't get them out of his truck I don't get them, so another guy brings them later in the day or the next day....you would think they were Union! I guess all that bulk mail takes it's toll on the old timers!

Thanks again....and really we don't need our bullets as fast as you think we need them!
