We are a small "Mom and Pop" operation and we have been in business since 1983. Our company, Katick Supplies, is registered with Federal, Provincial and Municipal Governments; we hold a Business Number with Canada Revenue Agency, a Vendors Permit with the Ministry of Finance and a Business Licence with the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services.
By the way, Katick is a portmanteau formed from Kathy and Rick. Our company is Katick Supplies, but we sell online as A Well Dressed Bullet, which is much easier to remember.
We have been happily married for 30 years and live in the very small community of Spanish, located in Northeastern Ontario on the North Channel area of Lake Huron.
We semi-retired in 1992 and relocated here to Spanish. In 2001, we got a little tired of retirement, but we did not want to start another retail store and the internet suited our needs perfectly. Rick always enjoyed making his Bullet Pens and we thought the internet would be a great way to sell them. We knew this would be so different from operating a retail store. We had to learn all about computers, e-commerce, the new lingo, website designing and html and after four months figured it all out, well almost, and we created our website and started selling our Authentic Bullet Pens on-line in August 2001.
We started selling full time on eBay in 2002, Etsy in June 2007 and eCrater in August 2007.
We take great care and pride in making our unique products and put a lot of our own personal principles into both our products and customer service.
We make a great team. Rick being the artistic and production side, thinks up, designs and manufactures our products. Kathy, that's me, is the administrative side and webmaster, I run the office, make sure the orders get to our customers, that all the figures add up and maintain our website, eBay Store and now Etsy. We both share the housework and grab meals when we can.
