Any wholesale suppliers out there that consistently stock Batson fly products and can ship priority mail within a day or two of receiving an order?

Seems like it'd be easy enough to find but I haven't had any luck...Dan Craft is the only guy in my corner of the woods and he has great service but doesn't have many of the fly blanks in stock. No luck with a couple of WA suppliers either :(.

Ron Schneider has my vote also. Has always came through for me.

Scott -- Since Mr. Ron Schneider was the first to respond, I would give him a try. I know he has been a Batson distributor from the beginning. We are also a distributor for the product line and try our darnest to keep good levels of stock. One thing to remember, this time of year is a very busy time for all of us and products comes in and goes out very fast, or least we like to think it is going to be that way. Even though we try to keep good inventory levels, there is now way to say everything is always in stock at all times, because here again, the surge in orders over the past few weeks has been overwhelming and can deplete stock on various products before one even realizes sometimes. We do check our stock levels at least two to three times a week with the Batson product line and we also order at least once, if not twice a week form them. So if something is out of stock, it is being sent right back in quickly. I work very closely with Karry Batson and when I place orders he responds by letting me know what will ship of if anything is out of stock, so we can inform you, the customer of what will or will not happen. I would suggest working with a at least two or so distributors in case of out of stock type situations. Always have a back-up. The folks at Batson ship my orders promtly and on 3-Day Air, so I am receiving shipments quickly. We are always willing to work with our customers, they sometimes just have to be willing to also work with us a little. We use the Priority Mail system and is is proving to be a much better system all the time. Just let us know if we can be of any help assisting you aome time and we'll be glad to help..
