A special note from our
founder and lead developer...
First, I wanted to thank all of those that inspired me to continue the
research on these mats. It was a long 12 months, but something to look
back on with a sense of accomplishment.
This was more of a PASSION than anything, not a way to bring a new product
to market. We did this for us, and our systems, hopefully we can share and
all can enjoy.
PLEASE... take the time READ IT.
(There are some VERY important
points as you proceed that you should understand and will help with
ordering.)
I'll be VERY honest.
Once we started getting quotes in for producing this product, we almost didn't
release it. I wanted to hit a certain "price point", but the only way to reach my
goal was to have it produced overseas. I was NOT willing
to do that. (We are talking about a 30% cost difference.)
We also had to deal with extruders wanting to ROLL UP our product.
Due to the complex patterns we wanted it cut and stacked flat, not rolled.
That could damage or deform freshly manufactured mats. Yes, another labor
cost.
Also, this is NOT a huge market. We can only maintain certain inventory
levels and order runs that are reasonable in volume. Everyone wears shoes,
but a VERY limited number of people mine for gold.
Our Mats are NOT for everyone...
Some people think spending $99 on a sluice is a lot of money, while others
see spending $6500 on a dredge is a steal. We get this... Some will
see the products as expensive, others as great deal.
I want all that order to understand that the cost is due to a high quality
product, produced in the U.S., to a limited market, and NOT due to high
profit margins.
We barely left enough room for distributors, and some may not carry it due
to the low margin.
The ONE THING I can assure you of....
You are buying one of the best sluice mats in the Nation, with exceptional recovery
ability, and designed and tested in high water volume settings.
Again... thanks for your support and encouragement over these many
months.
