A website upgrade. Did not show retail inventory before. Internet sales are through the roof since covid and now the civil unrest. They can not keep stock for the website.
Hi, Due to COVID (reduce manufacturing capability) and panic buying, firearms and ammo are in extremely short supply. Buds separate its online and retail warehouse. This means that online products came from online-only warehouses. If the particular product is "retail store only" then you are not able to purchase that product online and need to visit the physical stores for that. I hope this helps.
Calvin, my theory is that due to current events, lower staff levels and out of control online order volume, Buds has moved more of their inventory to in store sales only for foot traffic sales only. This may be a more sustainable arrangement for them. Of course this does not help non local folks looking for firearms. Hopefully they will go back to regular status. Cheers and stay safe!
It's tough for dealers to get guns to sell right now. If they can't keep their shelves stocked, there's no incentive to sell everything on their website.
