Dear Paintball Industry

This letter is to inform the paintball industry that it is March. For most of the U.S. this means it is winter. This winter has seen lots of snow. Yet the powers that be still keep most of their inventory on the east coast. While those of us on the west coast are in the middle of the best part of our year. Your warehouses on the west coast are empty at this time of year, year after year, but for some reason this does not tip anyone off to do anything about it. You force us to go with other companies who can get us product in a timely manner and then you wonder why we don't do business with you. We are in the worst economic down turn and paintball has been hit hardest of all. Why you continue to do things that do not work for your business or that of your industry is unfathomable.

Wake up! Manage your selves better. Don't tell me to forecast my orders better for better lead time. YOU should be doing that. Your ware house is empty! Doesn't that mean you moved product faster here than on the east coast?!
