A Personal Note from Ralph Thomas
About This Web Site And Company-You Have Found The Direct Source!
Meet Our Staff And Company Ready To Service Your Needs!

We would like to welcome you to the investigative resource that has become the standard of the investigative industry! If you are new to this web site, you are going to find this place a cut way above the run-of-the-mill products and service centers that carter to investigators that do this type of thing part time. You have found the direct source and the yardstick (if you will) everyone measures by. While we realize and understand that there are a wide selection of web sites that provide products and services to the investigative industry these days, you will find this site to be the the largest, the oldest and the best in the industry. In fact we are flattered that so many so-called equipment retailers and publishers appear to copy cat about everything we do. However, many of these web sites don't even stock product and rely on third party drop shippers to ship their orders. This creates a huge problem for the end user when it comes to time service and customer support. First of all, a lot of these other web sites that sell equipment haven't even seen the products that they are selling and therefore know next to nothing about them. When they take an order from you, they actually have no idea if the product that they are selling you actually works nor if their drop ship supplier actually has the product in stock in the first place. Although they tell you you will get your product fast and often have photos they "barrowed" from the internet of a huge wearhouse, it could take a week to ten days just to fill your order or find out if the product you ordered is even in stock from their drop shipping service. Our service is a little different since we work off of over a million dollar inventory of stock, know every product we sell and can provide the back end customer user support you need. We import about 80% of the products we sell and have become a major wholesale source in the USA for a lot of these products. You will find our shipping service very fast! Over 90% of orders are shipped the same day you place you order (except weekends and holidays). Standard UPS ground shipping takes just a few business days and we do offer second day air and next day air UPS as well as fedex shipping. You can see, feel, demo and touch everything we sell in our huge showroom in Austin, Texas if you wish to come in person and we welcome you to do so. While you are here, you can go through our Spy and Private-Eye Museum in person and learn about the fascinating history of the industry. I personally invite you to stop in any time.

You will find this web site goes way beyond just trying to sell you a product or service. It's a huge resource for the investigative industry with articles, links, aids and informative resources for you. You will find free specialized networked online forums you can join, a wide selection of investigative resource centers on specific investigative specializations you will find very useful, a spy and private-eye online museum you can look through to learn about the fascinating history of the industry as well as the largest and best selection of books, manuals, ad other training aids that relate to investigation. The PI MALL is the home of the National Association Of Investigative Specialists, one of the oldest and largest trade associations of professional investigators. You will also find a section on investigative news that gives you industry news on the hour every hour as well as a huge resource of free state-by-state public records searches you can use. Our huge links section gives you massive links that connect you with all the resources and tools you'll ever need.

When it comes to the products you want, you will find this web site the main source for direct imports of investigative gear, and the main source for published training material since we are the direct source publisher and the main source. While other web sites come and go, change hands and change names, unethically hire our former staff members (for obviously informational purposes only), and then promptly fire them, copy-cat formats and the association with fancy but fake mail drop addresses, there is only one real source that has been in business for 30 years ready to service your needs right now.

You will also find this site very dynamic. By dynamic, I mean that something changes almost every day and sometimes hour by hour! For 30 years, this has not been a part time sideline, it's been a full time passion and way of life! A lot of like web sites put a site up and it's the same now as it was one year or five years ago. That's very different here! We are almost always first to have the newest aids and products and almost always at the lowest pricing. Why don't you stop for a second and book mark the main pages you would wish to come back to right now as they all change and change often. We have been of service to the investigative industry for 30 years and you can be assured that we will be here when you need us with the very latest and most extensive products and services that there is. Again, I welcome you to our way of life and would like to introduce our well trained staff that is ready any time to be of service to you.

My Best,

Ralph Thomas
