CaptC Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 According to the dealer he has been trying to contact AIA for 10 days without success. I wonder who to believe! Its going to be another two weeks at least before the gears grind in perhaps a positive direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptC Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 The Purdey's are at Audley Street being serviced (just reminded me - Olga's wages) Seriously I wish you the best of luck - Which Fabarm have you bought? It's not an Elos de Luxe in twenty bore flavour perchance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptC Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Ah the joys of a semi auto! All that grovelling around in the bush looking for spent cartridges! Best of luck with the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptC Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 A quick update : 15 days after being delivered to my RFD the gun shop at last sent a label for the gun to sent back to the shop. In the interim period I contacted Mr Gill who was astounded that the gun shop wanted me to send the gun directly to them as the gun shop is the retailer and therefor responsible for any come backs. Mr Gill kindly contacted the gun shop and actually got them to arrange a courier. Trading Standards recommend an email or letter to the gun shop asking for a refund under The Consumer Rights Act of 2015. This has been sent and surprise - total silence and ££££'s out of pocket. Next step is the County Court? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next step is the County Court? If the gun only went back at the end of the pheasant season you do need to be fair to give these people the option to sort the issue as that was only 4 weeks ago. Legal action is really a last resort, maybe 2 months away at present I would suggest. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a merchant is paying 5% they need to shop around, I pay about around 0.9% to about 1.3% for credit cards depending on what one and 16p per debt card transaction. Goodluck CaptC, hope they pull there finger out. Edited March 4, 2018 by rimfire4969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I wouldn’t want to sell something and give a refund straight away. It’s not Tesco or PC World. The shop should be better to communicate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shop should be better to communicate though. Sorry just read your post There was no question of getting my money back straight away as they have know of one of the problems for several weeks. The latest news in the farce is that it took then two weeks to collect the gun from my RFD and now nearly 5 weeks later I'm told that they are waiting a report from AIA (promised two weeks ago) as, quote "the gun looks like it has been dropped" as there is a mark on the muzzle. It gets better every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptC Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 He met his end as per an officer and a gentleman - His last words were " Damn, I was hoping to run in the National this year".

He had his come comeuppance (literally) when he played the back end of a horse in Emmerdale. Didn't realise that there was a stallion in the same field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
