Hello All
A lot has been happening behind the scenes and I wanted to give some updates. I have spent some time doing some reflection over my business as a whole and I realized I lost a bit of the vision I had for Saberbelt when I started, well that is changing and I am going back to my roots. My founding mission was to bring affordable pieces to the costuming world, and I plan to do just that moving forward.
First - Obi Wan and Anakin Buckles are on indefinite hold. I was not able to get them ordered before the whole Tariff situation, and with the uncertainty of what is to come, I am putting both projects on indefinite hold. Once things settle down, I will revisit both projects. As of now, I do not have an ETA for when those projects will be back on the table.
Second - As many of you may have seen on my socials, I am moving to a Wholesale pricing structure on the products that I am able too, which is back in line with my original mission. Again, we can look at the Tariff situation and see where some resellers, like myself, are pulling the panic lever and trying to get you to order now to avoid price increases. I refuse to do that. What I am doing is lowering prices on the LGT/Nexus Sabers lineup to save you money, asking you to contact me on the TXQ Sabers and X-Tech Sabers lineups so I can see what I can do to help you, and staying with my Dropship model, so that the Tariffs will not hit you as hard. That does have a bit of a drawback to come with it as ship times have gone up just a bit, but the average is still 3-7 business days, excluding weekends.
Third - The not so good part is that I can no longer, in good conscience, price match nor offer free shipping. I am going to do everything I can to keep prices low for you, hopefully lower than all of my competition. If you see something and have questions, please reach out to me and let me see if I can help you with alternatives or work with you on some sort of discount.
Fourth - I know not everything has been updated as of yet for pricing, shipping, price matching, or plain old verbiage on my posts, so please be patient as I have a lot to go through. Again, if you see something, reach out and I will help any way I can.
Fifth - Star Wars month is starting in a couple days and I am going to do another raffle. What is this raffle I speak of? Well, for April I did a $10 per Entry Raffle for a LED Bladed Dark Saber. I was very happy with the results and want to aim higher, so I am running the Raffle back for Star Wars Month. I will reveal the details when I draw the winner on Saturday May 3rd, with the new Raffle to Start Sunday May 4th. I think some will be VERY happy with the chance to win an LED Saber for $10
I have lots in the tubes, as you can see, and I can't wait to see what the rest of 2025 brings. I wish nothing but the best for all of us in 2025 and I hope I am able to win your trust and business moving forward.
This is where the fun begins
-Dave
