Lefty gunz Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Alright people, I would consider myself to be both reasonable and patient but a local firearms dealer (who shall remain nameless) is beginning to wind me up I bought a used 12g o/u lamber from him nearly 3 weeks ago (after waiting 6 weeks for it to come back from the gun-smiths to have the barrels touched up). I picked it up on the friday and then went to the nearby clay ground on the saturday only to find that the top barrel wouldnt fire The pin was hitting the cartridge but not with sufficient power to fire it. Anyway, i took it back to the guy that day and hes said, "im really sorry, I'll make it a priority and get it sorted". So, 2 weeks later he still hasnt even looked at it, so do you think im out of order to expect it to have been sorted by now. Im going to ring him in wednesday and demand either the gun back fixed or my money back. Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 After two weeks, I'd expect it to be sorted too. I'd be wanting my money back too unless he's got good reason to be this slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goods must be of reasonable quality, and be able to perform their function whether secondhand or not. Just tell him politely to sort it or you will be seeking help from Trading Standards.

Lefty gunz Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Im always polite but enough is enough, hell be getting a call tomorrow. As for where it is, well all ill say is the guy is infamous for taking his time, I quite like the bloke and hes an honest enough guy but he has NO IDEA when it comes to customer service or prioritisation.

Lefty gunz Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well i rang him wednesday and said, "im coming in saturday for the gun or my money" It seemed to do the trick as it is back in my cabinet fully operational so my faith in him has been restored (but ill be ******** if i can hit anything with it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
