To add my personal comment...the ability to pick up an order would be a plus for those that live in central Oklahoma.

Getting off topic here but we do offer Oklahoma residents 50% off regular shipping rates on orders over $200 making shipping costs minimal for most people in Oklahoma. While local storefront retail and pick-up options are not something that is practical for what we are doing, I would like to help a few more intelligent and hard working Oklahoman find profitable employment with good hours and a clean environment..

First, I'm not here to promote SGAmmo in terms of selling goods, sales are something I have covered, the intention of this thread is to find AR15.com members or perhaps people they know in the Stillwater area in need of employment. I thought I would give this forum a crack at it since I am an industry partner and sponsor of AR15.com and its nice to find employees who are already knowledgeable about calibers and ammunition brands before they start.

I understand the desire for people to save on shipping. Unfortunately it is not practical to offer that option with our business model, which is an eCommerce store that performs a high volume / low margin & fast pace workflow that is designed to efficiently fill a large volume of orders into ready to ship packages and then onto a UPS semi-truck trailer on a daily basis. The transactions are conducted on an extremely low profit margin per transaction, typically 5% to 12% margin depending on the item so there is not a lot of profit in each sale and therefor the process must be efficient for the business to make a profit at the bottom line. The plus side is we make up for the low margins by conducting a large volume of sales, every week we ship about 4000 packages and some times up to 6000 on peak volume weeks, and volume is growing rapidly, thus the need for more humans working in the warehouse. It is more complicated than many people think to deal with walk ins / pick ups especially when we already have a lot going on. When comparing a uniform process where all orders ship UPS versus mixing the process up with walk-ins, pick ups, and shipping, it takes a lot more time to deal with each transaction, special processes for handling, sorting, separating and holding the orders and goods, dedicated staff dealing with people who walk in the door, and floor space, waiting rooms, restrooms, and added liability / risk of accidents in a workplace with heavy equipment in use and constant semi-truck traffic as well as other factors that are too much to list. Additionally once you open the doors anyone can walk in and keep in mind that there are large numbers of people that do not read or follow directions and want to push the limits of any rules that are in place, those are the people that really ruin the idea from being practical. I actually worked gunshows for 10 years from 2001 to 2011 so I've spent a lot of face to face time with clients in the past and I did enjoy it very much, but that was a much slower work pace and a very different type of business model. These days we like to keep our privacy there at the warehouse and maintain an orderly workflow without disruption so that we can continue the efficient business model that has brought us success and continue to put a paycheck into the hands of our employees, those employees yet to come, and the other local businesses that profit from their relationships with ours.

How much are you paying in gas to drive there and back home?

Unless you literally live a few miles from them, 50% off shipping is a good deal.

Of course that's considering that you would want to do business with Ammoman, who is a known flat out crook, who was kicked off this board for cheating members, misrepresenting the merchandise he was selling, and is an obnoxious ass.
