[Y]ou are not buying products from FDC, we are simply giving you exclusive access to the wholesale vendor network while providing the customer service of a retail site. [More]
Presented here fyi. I know nothing about these folks, have no experience with them, and who.is shows site registration by proxy.
If you’ve dealt with them, feel free to add a comment. In the mean time, I’ll try to contact them and see if anyone wants to introduce themselves…
UPDATES
I see they’re associated with Brandon Herrera.
I began a dialog on FB messaging and got this returned:
I’m Taylor Spears, COO of FDC.
My business partner Chris Smith and I started FDC out of Pensacola, FL. Home of naval aviation.
I have a background in development and CIS and 12 years of operations management experience, the last 4 of which being in the firearms game.
My partner Chris has almost 20 years of retail firearms experience, and owns the largest firearm retailer on the Florida panhandle.
We brought in Brandon Herrera as part owner in our company to provide the business with a recognizable and relatable face in the 2A community (you know, the guy has been publicly recommended by the people to be the next director of the ATF).
Chris and Brandon met at an ATF hearing in Fort Walton Beach, FL when they were both testifying against ATF overreach (the retail store Chris owns was subject to a significant amount of said overreach)
We’re obscenely pro-2A, and lean very limited government and constitutionalist in our core business values.
FDC is somewhat of a Costco of the firearms world. We provide access to wholesalers in the firearm industry in exchange for a small monthly fee, and charge exactly what the vendors charge us. We make zero money off transactions on FDC and rely on customer service and our membership fees to operate off of.
Think of us as BDU without the sketch factor. We respond to our chats, fulfill the product as ordered, take care of the customer, and provide an above and beyond approach to our members.
Oh. And we pay our affiliates. That last part is rather important. We’re a small community, and everybody talks if you don’t properly treat those who represent your brand to their viewers and readers.
