Amazon is taking over the World - an Update
With the world changing, we have to admit an important truth when it comes to purchasing from Amazon and Chewy - it's relatively safe. There is a tidal wave of unscrupulous scam artists from a certain large country on the other side of the Pacific who are preying on you and your neighbors. And small retail websites like Besthorsegear.com too often get painted with the same brush. I find myself relying more and more on Amazon if I don't recognize the name of a merchant who has a product I need. I'd ten times rather deal with the little guy but I don't want to get screwed either. I'm afraid that unless the small merchant has a truly unique product, like Desert Wildflower Designs' mohair creations, the era of the small online merchant is coming to an end.
Who can blame you, it literally takes seconds to make a fairly safe purchase and it's usually delivered in a couple days. Tack, supplements, it's all on there. Heck, we buy on Amazon all the time. But when equine products started showing up on Amazon our business stagnated and hasn't changed since.
So we pivoted to products you can't buy on Amazon. Neither Chewy or Amazon can make quality leather or mohair tack. Desert Wildflower Designs is nationally recognized for it's designs and craftsmanship. Our leather tack is simple but best quality working tack at a reasonable price. And Neither Chewy nor Amazon has figured out how to offer free shipping on 80lb livestock panels while we deliver, often for free.
