About Us

We are a small, veteran owned and operated business. The business was started in a 10-by-4 foot space in 2013 by the owner, Shawn, while he worked as a commercial sales manager for a national retail store. As the business grew, he found himself running out of time to work at his other job, as well as space to store the inventory. He quit his management job so that he could begin working full-time, selling paracord on BoredParacord.com.

In 2014, Shawn moved into a house where the operation expanded within his basement. Within months, he once again found himself running out of space, so he signed for a lease to open a retail store. The store opened its doors to the public for the first time in January of 2015. After opening officially, the business continued expanding rapidly - employees were hired to assist with shipping and customer service and the Paracord.com domain was acquired.

Presently, Bored Paracord and Paracord.com are residing in a 10,000 square foot facility in Lansing, MI.  Shawn is still involved daily with the business.

Here at Paracord.com, our goal is to sell large quantities of quality cord, while also allowing paracord artists an opportunity to sell and showcase their work in our marketplace. We offer over 350 colors of paracord (as well as shackles, buckles, and micro cord) on our sister site (BoredParacord.com) with dozens of colors available here as spools. Both stores share a space officially as Bored? Paracord! in Lansing, MI.

We are dedicated to providing the best quality paracord available (all of which is manufactured by contractors in the United States), as well as the best customer service available. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or wish to sell through our site, you can reach us at Shawn@boredparacord.com.

For the time being, you can keep up with us on the Bored? Paracord! Facebook and Twitter pages. If you'd like, you can also share designs in our Paracord On group or if you need inspiration, you can watch Shawn's paracord tutorials on his YouTube channel.
