This is particularly applicable to medical kits.

Kindly note: special order items may qualify as final sale in certain instances

Backordered products refer to those items that are typically stocked, but we currently out of stock and still awaiting production by the vendor, or shipping into our warehouse. Our average lead times on backorded products range from 2 – 4 weeks, though some can take up to 12 weeks.

CTOMS started as a training company, and first and foremost, CTOMS remains a training company. We believe that it is essential to first become effectively trained to rely on yourself and not your equipment. We believe it is essential to first become educated in order to make effective equipment choices that will enhance your knowledge and skill, not compensate for a lack thereof. And we believe that when you do choose your equipment, it needs to be best of breed and meet rigorous quality standards.

Being a training company first sets our priorities straight; our approach to 'marketing' is education. The decision to bring a product to market is based on requirement, research, data, critical evaluation, and common sense. We don't recommend a product because we carry it. We carry it because it is something we would pack in our own personal kit, and rely on with our own lives.
