BIGGBAY90 - From a previous post
At the end of the day I was $4000 for an AmSec BF7250 loaded with door organizer, interior lighting, heat rod & an unneeded jewelry tray. I would pay an additional $250-$300 to have the safe picked up & delivered. So that is $4,250-$4,300 delivered, installed with all taxes. That is a great price on a loaded AmSec BF 7250 that not many others can get. As heeler knows the reason for that is that we have a huge local gun dealer that buys there safes by the truckload. The other AmSec dealers in town can't touch that price.
So for the Sturdy I am $3858 for the 72x48x27 (Deep) with an upgrade for a keyed S&G dail (so my kids & neighbors kids won't stand there & spin dail), an extra heavy duty 150lb shelf ($13), the extra $150 for burglary warranty, delivered with no tax. Since the Sturdy will be delivered to my driveway I will put it in the garage myself & bolt it down.
So at the end of the day $150 separates the two. For anyone else in a different town this may be a $500 difference. As Frank stated on a separate thread $4,000 for the BF7250 was a heck of a deal.
So then you ask why the Sturdy, given the fact the AmSec was only $150 more & installed? For me it came down to Terry at Sturdy. To have an owner of the company call me on a Saturday morning & talk to me for 30 minutes and again on Monday afternoon shows a deep level of committment to customer service. I can live with the decision to give a man like that my business. I am sure I will love the safe even though it doesn't look as nice
