Prophet River's business model is second to none.

I have dealt with Clay and his staff on numerous occasions and asked him to start up a store in Calgary.....There is no competition here, now that WSS closed its doors....

This thread will be one of those endless threads.....Prophet River is notch in my books....

Bah....not to get greedy, but Edmonton just lost 2 WSS locations and milarm and is suddenly a wasteland of competition in the retail guns market.

Honestly, Phoenix Range has limited access to product, Cabela's will not bring anything in that isn't stocked on their shelves and selection is limited, to say the least.
That leaves P&D, terrible location south of downtown, but the only decent shop left.

People are being too kind. We've had our share of in correct orders, orders too slow, missing inventory, etc. Trust me, its not always perfect and a few times far from it.

True, and I have experienced it a couple of times. However, as in all things, it isn't about being perfect, it really is about the unrelenting effort to make it right when it has gone wrong, even when it wasn't your fault directly. In that you have never failed.

X2 People will put up with a lot if they know the person they are dealing with is doing their best. Some stores, the staff has no interest in their jobs, the results speak volumes. I have never dealt with Prophet River but, yesterday I was at the range admiring a guys stocks on his three Tikka's. When I asked him about them and where he got them he encouraged me to phone Clay at Prophet River, he'll fix you up he promised. That says a lot since this conversation happened in Med. Hat.

Another happy customer, from Saskatoon.
I like good price, which I got, but value good attitude and service even more.

No doubt, there are problems from time to time, but it is how quickly and efficiently you are at recognizing the problem and rectifying the issue.

I think Clay hires staff who want to be there; not just some schmo looking for a part time job.
He is my first call; he remains top notch in my books.....Keep it up.
Thanks,

We sure appreciate the business and so glad it arrived quickly. Canada Post has been a bit 'iffy' on a few order last while.

Clay and all his staff set the standard for service. I've done business quite a number of times in the last 8 or 10 years, and every time they have impressed. From importing a Colt Python, to buying a Browning BPS, to getting a Bell & Carlson stock that didn't fit (and that wasn't really their fault either, was confusion on the barrel contour of an XHR)....which they sent out the right one before I even had time to get the wrong one back in the mail to them. Just a no questions asked happy to serve business. I have never experienced better service anywhere else.

Myself and friends have not only purchased new firearms and gear from Prophet River, we have purchased several used or consignment firearms from them. A friend just purchased another used rifle from them yesterday at a very good price. And if there is ever an issue with a used firearm that they didn't know about, Clay takes care of it very quickly.

Clay and all his team are just amazing. If Clay sells it, I ain't buying it anywhere else. I'm just not. Case studies should be done on Prophet River for business textbooks. They really are that good. If you have never purchased from them, give them a try. You will be tickled pink.

I have been dealing with Prophet River for many years , from New to used rifles and shotguns pp and components . Really top shelf outfit .
I 'm sure there must be a dissatisfied customer out there somewhere, I mean there is a first time for everything, right ?!

I have never had better customer service anywhere. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I even got a phone call at home to make sure the bases and rings I purchased worked out properly. First class all the way.

You know you are number one in your space when your trade name requires no explanation. Skidoo = snowmobile, Kleenex = Come to think of it I don't know another name for them, Prophet River = Excellent Service.
