Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Scopes Direct/Opticswarehouse

#1 Post by Sandgroper »

I've used them before and been happy with the service, this time I thought I'd been let down but I was wrong! :good:

Ordered a scope on the 6th but when nothing had arrived by the 11th, I e-mailed them (politely) to ask if there was any problem. Got an series of e-mails first thing on the 12th - 1) To apologise and 2) to say that they've contacted the suppliers to ask that it be sent straight to me and I should have by Friday!

I said thank you, but thought there's no way it'll get here for Friday, :roll: Monday at the very earliest. Wrong - it turned up half an hour ago. :goodjob: :grin:

I ordered some scope rings - they took the money - only when prompted did they tell me they had none and their supplier would take two to three weeks to get them.
That was 8 weeks ago and still no scope rings.
Have just cancelled the order - have yet to get money back.

Just to be fair I have now had a full refund by the next working day.

Problems getting kit from the States.

You know, if the 'great free market' worked - ha! - the UK gun making business could grow and clean up overnight.
Perhaps it's not what the 'blue rinse and brylcream' politicians of today would encourage. It would not pander to minority interests holding marginal influence.
Hey Ho - so it goes!!!!!
