The Watercooler-What's New, Hot Items, Advice, Tips, & More

I looked at the calendar this morning and there are literally only two weeks left to order, and have a reasonable chance at getting your presents before Christmas without paying for Overnight delivery.  This is just a reminder and I hope no one takes exception to my reminder.  We have lots of specials that will be popping up on our website though out this these next few days so keep watching we may have something that you are looking for.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and takes a minute to check us out online on Facebook and Twitter.

True that is.  We had a completely mad Black Friday and Cyber Monday and now we are in the lull before the next rush.  To all our friends that may have missed one of our specials, keep the faith to see if we can get it back in December, or you can always call to see if we can still offer it.  I know or sales people and they will not knowingly sell you an item they know is going to be sold for less.  I hope you all had a great start to your holidays, I know I did and I don’t have one present yet but holidays are not about presents they are about family and friends.  I will be back later with specials we have so until then please follow us on Facebook and tritter.

Yes the holiday season is on in full force.  The phones are ringing and the showroom is full as well as the internet.  Things here at the store are really humming.  Trevor and the guys in shipping are really moving today.  Busy busy and everyone will be happy to speak with you regarding any of our products so do not hesitate to call.  Check out our specials there are some great deals to be had.  Well I have to run now but I will be back with you as the season goes on.  don’t forget to check us out on our website, Facebook, and Twitter.

That’s right the Christmas shopping season starts tomorrow evening and the deals will be plentiful.  We will have our specials up on our website ready to process and ship on Friday. I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from The GPS Store.  I am not going to go any further there will be plenty of time to advise you of what we have on special through the Christmas season.  I will  be back to you after the holiday.

While people are planning their shopping lists for Christmas we here at the store plan to have our specials in stock so inventory is coming in fast and furious.  Our people in the warehouse are really earning their paychecks this month.  We hope that you will visit our website to wee if our specials match up with anyone on your list.  I know what we are going to be offering are great values.  Well here is hoping you are ready for the Christmas season to start and your lists are complete.  We are here to help you if you need to ask questions.  Please check us out and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.  I will try to get back to you next week.

I hope that everyone is getting in the holiday spirit because it is right around the corner, but I do have to say November 1, is just too early for Christmas carols on the radio.  We here at the GPS Store wish everyone a great season and remember us when you are thinking about presents for the ones you love.  Freight seems to be nonstop in the warehouse and we are loading up on some of the really popular items for our Christmas specials.  If you are planning your Christmas list check with us we may be the ones who offer you the most bang for your hard earned dollars.  As always don’t forget to look at us on Facebook and Twitter.

A lot of rumors about new releases at the Boat Show from Garmin.  They have announced their new 8600XSV series with what they are calling as G3 charting which merges Navionics with Garmin’s G2 charts.  The only thing I have seen on it to this date is AutoRouting is now standard and the purchase of a Vision Card is no longer necessary for this feature.  It has been over a year since Garmin purchased Navionics and everyone was wondering when two of the premier charting companies would get together, and with the 8600XSV series will finally have it.  It should be an interesting time  at the Boat Show over the next couple of days.  I will try to keep you undated on new or improved product announcements.  Stay safe. 

Another beautiful day in coastal Carolina. Highs in low 70’s and a Carolina blue shy.  Well today I am going to advise anyone reading this Blog to be very vigilant this year for scams around the holidays.  i just read that on of the latest is for the scammer to send and confirmation email of any kid advising the recipient that their order is available to be picked up at their nearest, Walmart, Costco, Home Depot etc and to view their order click here, and the virus is loose on your computer.  Do not open any emails that do not furnish you with information to identify your orders.  Keep a log as to what and where you have ordered.  It is a terrible thing that these people invest this much time and effort to steal when it is obvious to me that their talents would benefit us in a useful way.  Well until next week stay safe.  Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook.  

It is coming to an end, I mean 2018 and the rush of the holiday season.  We have made of forecasts for inventory with our manufacturers so when we offer a special it will be in stock and arrive in time for the gift giving to begin.  That is just part of what The GPS Store goes through to make sure the trust you put with us is justified.  We also bring in extra people to help with shipping to make sure your orders are processed and on the way to you quickly.  We understand what the holiday season means to our customers because it means the same to us.  Family, friends and hopefully time to spend together.  We are adding new products daily our website so keep an eye out for them.  Keep checking on us through Facebook and Twitter and I will be back to you early net week. 

Well we had another great boat show season starting in NYC early in 2018 and ending with the Annapolis Sail Boat Show that just ended.  A great year of meeting new friends and customers to help solve their marine issues whether it was purchasing equipment or giving them answers and possible solutions for their existing equipment.  That is the big thing about our people both Brian and Scott are experts in marine systems, whether sounders, radar, night vision, or networking everything together.  If they don’t have the correct answer immediately they are not going to sell you something and let you figure it out.  They know where to go to get the answers and provide them to you.  Our guys are the best at the shows and know what will be important to you.  In case you haven’t gathered it I am very impressed with The GPS Store and what they do at Boat Shows.  Well until next week, stay safe, and please check us out on Facebook and Twitter.
