Tibet Archery Store is comparatively a young social enterprise where its prime focus is to deliver the best bow to suffice the need, at the convenience of the local ethnic Tibetan people in Qinghai region of China!
Many friends were quite inquisitive to know about why this store is a social enterprise and for that we would like convey the message that unlike other stores whose prime focus was to thrive the business by charging as much as they could, nevertheless, Tibet Archery Store is slightly different!
All the staffs at Tibet Archery Store are quite an enthusiast on archery and we know the demand and requirements of the people. Besides, we are in the pursuit of delivering the best bow (whether it is new or old) to the clients at a minimum rate by cutting many third entities from the business chains and appointing our own circle in the logistic and delivery services so that we could able to deliver all the amenities on time, without any accidental damages in the shipping!
Our bows are imported from US, Canada, Australia, European countries, with help of many other great people! In order to cut the overhead cost incurs on bows or its amenities, our partner vendors and friends were doing their best and in many occasions, they even disassemble the bows prior to shipping as we requested. They did accommodate all our requests without any reservation but with positive affirmation in processing the shipping! This really help us to cut many corners that we couldn’t appreciate you enough! Nevertheless, on behalf of all the beneficiaries let us thank you all very much for your kind support!! You are not just helping to reduce the price of the amenities, instead you are helping the local people to thrive such beautiful culture and its essence to the many generations to come! Therefore, you contribution is indebt!!
We can totally understand how risky is to ship such delicate and important amenities, therefore, in order to relief the sender from anxiety, we sent them confirmation of receiving the products as soon as we get those. (By sending them photos of products through wechat and email)
Of course, there is adage which goes “Nobody is perfect”, likewise, during the course of our business, we also faced people (from off-shores) who didn’t deliver the bow despite we paid them handsomely. Nevertheless, such incidence is quite negligible and besides, it didn’t affect our client’s requirement and delivery date.
We have successfully imported 300 plus bows, since March 2017. You are all part of this great venture to thrive the archery culture here in Qinghai!
Some of the challenges that we have faced in the past is the “profile evaluation”: evaluating your online profile by the seller whether you are an authentic vendor (if you are not they will sell only few pieces and not more than that) and payment system (before we used to send the money through western union and now much of the transaction is done through payment and rules and regulations of PayPal differs to place to place).
We understand that there is no smooth sailing in every venture, however, we love what we do, and we are very much enthusiastic to deliver more numbers of good bow at very competitive price in the years to come!!
We, at Tibet Archery Store, wish you all a very happy and successful year ahead!!
