You can now pay for purchases with a credit card WITHOUT going through paypal! As of now, I accept credit cards (stand alone), credit cards through paypal, paypal account payments, money orders/cashiers checks, and personal checks (must clear prior to the grips being mailed out). All of these options are available to you at checkout.
Now you can sign on for email notification of member only sales! Just go to the store homepage

I've had a steady stream of natural Elephant Ivory moving through the shop, but unbelievably, some still don't know that I do them! Recently there has been an explosion of Ivory orders as more sets have gotten out there, and people are starting to realize that they were paying much more for grips that didn't fit near as well. It's a good thing! If you're interested in natural Ivory for your pistol, please contact me for details.
Now doing NATURAL STAG grips! I've got a good supplier for hte material, so I'm going to fill what appears to be a large gap out there in the market - quality, well made stag grips!

PLEASE READ:
Due to recent Post Office changes (my opinion after talking with them) there have been a couple of packages that have not arrived at their destination. Considering the number of packages that I mail out, this is still a small percentage, but any lost package is too many. I cannot be responsible for your package once it leaves my hands at the Post Office, so I have added the Postal Insurance option to the site. I HIGHLY recommend that you take advantage of this option as it's only $3 and that will cover up to a $600 order (I pitch in the extra $$for the service after the initial $200 coverage). The cost of shipping is still included in the price you see but the insurance will be an additional charge. If you choose to have your shipment insured and it does not arrive at the destination, you can then file a claim with the Post Office and be reimbursed for the full value of the package. If you choose NOT to apply the insurance, and your package does not arrive, then there simply is not much that can be done. I could have simply raised the prices on the sets by a few $$and included this, but I wanted my customers to have the option, and make the decision for themselves.
What's on the horizon? (28JAN11)
Post Office insurance option added tonight. See the options category or the blue box on every grip set page for details.
Don't forget - if you don't see what you're looking for on the site, email me with what you want, and we can work on putting a special order together. Site prices hold on these orders as well! Email is elitewood@hotmail.com
Turn around time for special orders is running at around 3 weeks from order/payment to shipping. If there's something you're interested in, don't hesitate to contact me.
Coonan grips are on the site!
Many of the available options for each set are now available on the listing for that set. You'll see a blue and white box, usually in the upper left of the description, that will let you add various options to your cart right from the listing without having to go to the options category.
Thank you all for your business. I appreciate the fact that there are choices out there in grips, and the fact that you come here means much to me. I will continue to work to earn your business, trust and friendship.
Always new and cool stuff in the shop and coming to the site! Beauty abounds, and every set just gets better and better. Thanks for being here, and enjoy the pics and the beauty of it all! Remember that the grip price shown includes domestic priority shipping, and the pics shown are the ACTUAL set of grips you're buying.
Keep those emails coming with suggestions, ideas and comments! (elitewood@hotmail.com, or through the "contact us" part of the store). Thank you for your business, I truly appreciate it!

REMEMBER: If you don't see what you want, just ask. About 75% of what I do is special order anyway.
RETURN POLICY - I like my customers to be happy with what I do and will try to ensure that you are happy at every turn. If something needs to be returned, here are the guidelines:
Manufacturing problem - Return for full refund or store credit, your choice. This does NOT mean you can return grips after 4 months because you ran over them with your car. ;) This means you can return your grips if there is indeed a problem with the way they were made, or if they don't fit etc. After 10 days in your possession, all sales are considered final.
Custom orders - Custom orders may be returned for store credit in the amount of 50% of the original quoted price minus any prior shipping charges. This will apply IF the grips can be used or sold in the future. If they are for an obscure weapon or are one of a kind with very limited sales potential, then I will handle that on a case by case basis. Of course if what I send you is not what you ordered, then a full refund will be issued. This mainly applies to people who just change their minds for some reason.
Standard site products - Return of standard "on site" products will qualify for store credit minus 25% of the purchase price unless prior arrangements for something else are made between the customer and myself. Of course, returns will need to be in unused condition and will be inspected for that upon arrival back to me. Any planned refund my be partially or fully forfeited if the grips are returned damaged or showing signs of use.
The best value on the net for the best .45 grips on the net. Period. Tell your friends about what you find here, and again, don't be shy about special orders. Prices shown for grip sets INCLUDE shipping, so the price you see is what you pay. I dislike stores that charge me exorbitant $$$for shipping and handling on the backside of a transaction, so I don't do it to you. If there is shipping (this applies to the few boxes shown) how much the shipping will add will be plainly stated in the description. Thanks for being here, I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the beauty of what's in the store today.
I'm getting in new woods all the time, but have to be patient and let them dry properly before putting my anxious paws on them. Thanks for being here! Always new stuff being added, so visit back often!
Another question answered: The pictures of the grips and the description are for THAT UNIQUE set of grips - the set you see in the picture is the actual set that will end up in your cart when you buy them. There are multiples for some woods, but they all have their own pics and descriptions. I figured this way you can pick the exact set you like and buy with confidence. Shipping is included in the grip prices shown.
Please take some time to remember our troops who are doing the job they have sworn to do regardless of political stance. They deserve so much more, but ask for nothing else. We should all be truly thankful for their sacrifices.
Thanks for coming to the site! I appreciate all of my customers and have gotten to know a few of them to boot. I'm glad you're here!
