activeviii Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Was at a well known reloaders stand yesterday at the cla. Bought some bullets and powder, lady worked out the price on a calculator and then seid it would be X amount. Paid and left. Today I had to work out the prices as some bits where not for me so I went to the bag, no receipt. Went to traders web site and worked it out from there, only to find I had a price difference of £10. Its only £10 some might say but its still a very poor show. Reloading bits cost enough as it is. Not going to go to them no more. 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil82 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 all the stands get ripped off big time for pitches, no bargains to be had at any shows anymore, go to them to check out what they offer and buy in store or on line, bit sad really as it reduces the incentive for the stands to attend shows unless you state when you buy that your interest is from the show, its turning out that between pitch costs, labour time that its not really cost efficient for most of them to turn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JABB Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) I wonder how many of those who went, and also re-load knew that Reloading Solutions are but 2 miles from the CLA.

activeviii Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Use to use reloading solutions all the time but you phone before you leave to ask if they have the stock. Get there only to be told they just told the last one. There stock has been as bad as everyone else so I normally use Daunstey guns as if its on their site then its on the shelf. Not a bad bunch in there either So the only reason you went to the show was to buy the powder? You could have saved a lot of money and just paid the postage!yes, I just went to the show for powder.... ....Muppet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Have you never typed a few numbers into a calculator and got the wrong number? Exactly £10 sounds more like that kind of error - a wrong button pressed or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hi mate, hows it going, I'm guessing its *** but in all fairness to them they do get incredibly busy on the stand, they gave me gamekings instead of prohunters last year and I pre ordered em in advance, change them no worries though I did have the receipt.

jam1e Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 What is it with people!? They get "ripped off", (even if by a tenner) but then they seem to have some misguided loyalty to the people who ripped them off!?? If you're not prepared to name the people who ripped you off, then why bother posting? If it was me, I would feel I had a duty to the other forum users so they weren't ripped off to!

Blunderbust Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 its only £10,not a lot nower days, Mossy, you are right it is only a tenner but it is £10 of a guys hard earned. I had the same situation from a well known supplier who did me out of £12. Having spent over £500 the month before with the dealer I saw how the system worked and new fine that he just typed into the computer the item description and part number and the price for the items was automatically added to the bill and eventually once it was all logged in the correct price came out as the end effect. I then returned the following month to get a further couple of items that I needed and paid as per normal but was not present when the bill was worked out. A couple of days later I was on the guys web site and found that he had over charged me for an item by £12 which at the time I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt and called him explaining the situation. He agreed and offered a refund or a reduction on my next purchase, which I thought was fair enough and agreed on the deduction of the overcharge being made on my next purchase (which I am sure would have been in the very near future). However I received a receipt for the purchase that I had made which he had obviously put in the mail before I had called him to point out my complaint. Yep the price on the receipt that I got was marked down as the higher price that I had been originally charged. Due to the fact that I was aware of how the computerised billing and accounting system that he was using worked, it was very obvious to me that the bill had been adjusted manually to account for the which I now believe to be an intentional overcharge. Due to this situation, I now travel some times quite long distances to get reloading items that I need and have probably spent well over a further £1000 on such items, which if the situation had not occurred would have almost certainly been paid to the same dealer. I always stick by the once bitten philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
