Sorry, another boring equipment thread

I'm with Rich, this is no way to run a business. I mean, doesn't everyone expect payment before gear is shipped?

JK, you may want to delete your post.

Although most who have dealt with Rex has had kind things to say (including myself), I have noticed he is a little "blunt" and sometimes comes off in a bad light. Thats no excuse for people basically lying and stealing from him - but - whose fault is that? I think a list like that makes him appear like a minor league player.

I agree its no way to run a business and he is the one who made the mistake.

Another issue was when he sent an email blast out to every official in Wisconsin complaining about the deal the WIAA made with Gerry Davis Sports. The whole thing read like a note a 14-year-old would send a classmate about stealing her boyfriend. I wish Rex luck, but I'm not ever buying from him again.

I do have a company I've started doing more business with, though. Purchase Officials, out of Ohio. And also Gerry Davis Sports. Honig's has goine from getting 99% of my business to about 50%.

I would have deleted the post had I the opportunity after your comments.

No offense intended, but I was rather upset to see something like this. I hate stealing.

FYI, you made a good choice using the Purchase Officials branch in Ohio. I know the owner personally, and he is a class act.

I've ordered from Purchase Officials Ohio a couple of times and have been pleased with their service. I also recently placed an order with Ump-Attire.com and was also very happy with the service and products.

Im about 45 minutes from Purchase Officials in Fairlawn, OH (near Akron) and many many guys in our area speak highly. Ive never used them, but will look at them strongly when I need something.

My use of Honig's has gone down as well. Now - its pretty much just shirts and pants. Their protective gear, IMO, is a few notches down from the Wilson stuff and is more expensive. Not a compelling reason to buy from them. Plus their shipping is outrageous as well. I think they have lost a few steps and let the competition pick up ground on them.
