About Us – WesSpur Tree Equipment
We are a team of hard-working men and women sourcing, testing, and selling tree gear. We are an independent store. We don't have corporate ownership or our own brand of imported gear. We give it to you straight, with recommendations from customers and our own experts on what works in the field.
WesSpur was founded in 1982 in Bellingham WA, nestled between the wooded Chuckanut mountains and Bellingham Bay. More than 40 years later, we're still in our home town. We ship tree gear around the world while treating every customer like a local.
We have a simple motto we work by:
Great Gear, Great Prices, Great Service.
GREAT GEAR
We are constantly on the lookout for new gear from trusted manufacturers, and innovations from the community. We source, test, and review new gear to make sure it's worth your while.
GREAT PRICES
With your life on the line, you don't want to buy 'budget' gear. That doesn't mean you should overpay. We sell great gear at the best prices we can. If you find someone undercutting us, we will pricematch on the spot! We won't let price keep someone from being a WesSpur customer.
GREAT SERVICE
Friendly service and expert advice are at the core of WesSpur's values. We love working with people in the arb world. We understand that the gear we sell supports your business – and your life! Our awesome customer service staff makes sure that you get what you need for your job. Our technical expert, Niceguydave is on hand to answer questions with first-hand knowledge.
We want to be your tree gear supplier for life; that means treating the customer right.
Free shipping over $99*! Same-day shipping on orders placed by 1pm!
You'll notice the difference when you order from WesSpur. There's no phone tree or answering service – you'll talk to a human right away. If your order comes in over the web, we review it before passing it to shipping. We check for problems – gear that doesn't work together, out of stock items, etc. If all is good, we take it to the warehouse and carefully pack it. If the order came in by 1 PM Pacific time, it will ship out that same day! We offer free shipping on orders over $99 in the continental US, with some exceptions. If for any reason it can't ship, we will notify you.
We're not done with the order until you've got your new gear in the tree!
Our job isn't done when the order leaves WesSpur. We will help track the order and work with the carrier to overcome any shipping complications. If you unbox your tree gear and it's not what you're expecting, we will arrange a return or exchange. We aren't done with the order until you've got your new gear in the tree!
