Quoteperfectly good Working internet store
I'm not defending Vanguard, but the CAP Bookstore web site was not at all user friendly and had many of the same problems in terms of category names.

The old bookstore did have good cust service. The people on the phone were always helpful and nice.

That is true as of the bookstore's last few years.  For most of its history it was round reviled and hated by everyone I know.  I point this out to remind everyone that the "good old days" weren't as good as was suggested.

Ok, so I just received an order from vanguard, all personalized items...not a single thing wrong or missing.  However, there is a random clothes pin in the box with the number "3045" on it (not the order number)...anyone else get a lucky clothes pin?

That's your Vanguard lottery ticket. The drawing will be the 31st of December. You get a nametag of your choice, complete with misspellling.

Unfortunately, it was in the red a significant amount every year - which was a direct drain on our corporate budget.

From a business sense, it was a good move to outsource it.

Last report I got had it losing about $100K or so a year.

Annoying, but given CAP's budget, perhaps it would have been better to simply subsidize that cost, in the interested of making it easy (and cheap) for members to get new uniforms.

When you start considering member services as profit centers.....things can get dicey.

Well...this is unfortunate, Vanguard does not sell the AF Style BDU Cap.  They sell two types of baseball caps and the BBDU cap, but no BDU cap...  :-[

Yeah, I could never figure that one out.  Your one-stop shop for CAP stuff.... except BDU caps.   ???
