Shipping policy
To ensure that our gear meets that standard without monstrous prices, we make every piece of equipment by hand, on demand here in Oceanside, CA. So when you place an order with BDS Tactical Gear you will receive a piece of gear that was made JUST FOR YOU! Simple items such as slings and belts are made on a dedicated production line and are typically built and shipped within one week.
You can rest easy knowing your equipment is being guided through our production process by men and women who take pride in their work and our products, and that you are paying a fair price from a company committed to keeping our gear affordable and accessible. Once placed, your order will enter a proven and efficient production process, and you will be informed as it passes through the following phases before it ships:
Our Production Process:
Production Phase 1
During Phase 1, your order is processed and checked for accuracy. Once confirmed, the order will be placed in line. Finally, a list of required materials and hardware will be prepared, and material cut patterns for the order will be digitally plotted using the latest software.
Production Phase 2
During Phase 2, all materials required for your order are pulled and cut. Hardware (Buckles, Loops, D-Rings, and more) is gathered from our warehouse, webbing is cut to size and quantity, and our automated table cuts patterns out of rolls of 1000 Denier nylon. If necessary, we can still cut patterns of material in sheets by hand. Once completed, all of the materials are grouped together for your order and sent to be sewn.
Production Phase 3
During this longest production phase, the item(s) ordered will be sewn and assembled by our experienced production staff. While this process may take the longest, this phase is where your equipment order turns from concept into reality, and where we take the most care to ensure our standards for quality and durability are met. Only one more stage of production remains once Phase 3 is completed.
Final Phase 4
In this fourth and final phase, your order is cleaned of IP’s and any remaining buckles, buttons, or straps are added.
Our quality control staff reviews the equipment to ensure quality, durability, and accuracy, and sends the order to our shipping department to be packaged and sent on its way to your front door.
