1. No one is asking him to overwork anyone, in fact I think most of us agree that not running people into the ground is a good thing.
2. I’d argue that the quality and the fact that the products are manufactured in the US is why many people paid the premium price up front and readily agreed to...
AR is manufacturing parts and selling them straight to the end user. That means dealing with the customers/public is part of life. They are how you stay in business. They are how you turn a profit.
Ignoring customer complaints and concerns, blaming them, then complaining about people asking for...
Stirrups, Magnum Stirrups, Shackles, side badges, and shift knobs off the top of my head…you can look around the forum, Facebook, Better Business Bureau & Reddit and see the pattern. They are MUCH less responsive once you’ve paid.
