I read through that thread and wanted to reply but my story seemed a bit un-related so I figured I would start a new post.
My STORY about a LGS that I now boycott goes like this.
I purchased two Ruger revolvers from a guy on ARFcom and arranged for transfer to my (at one time go too) LGS. I called to discuss the transfer and was told it would be $35 bucks and I asked about multiple guns.
Was told as long as they are picked up at the same day, I can get as many as five on the same form....
Everything is arranged and I await the guns arrival at the LGS.
Tracking number shows the guns have arrived but It is late and I decided to pick them up the next day. The next day turns into a few days, and I finally make it to the shop to complete the transaction.
I walk in and tell the girl behind the counter that I had a transfer. She knows my face but asks my name and then goes in the back to get them. She comes back and tells me they have not arrived yet.
I tell her I tracked them and that they were delivered several days ago according to the tracking number. Then I get more specific about what they were and give her a description of the TWO guns and tell her that they should have had my name inside of one of the boxes if not both.
She gets this wide eyed look on her face and then says that they are not in and they are too busy to look anymore and that they would call me when they arrive.
I am pissed and ask for the manager and ask her to check one more time. While she (Manager) goes in the back, I look in the front case with the revolvers and see an SP101 and a GP100(the same type of guns that I had just transferred)and I ask to see the SP.
The original girl (Again with a very nervous look on he face)hands me the SP and I ask to see the box and she says "We cant pull out the boxes unless you buy" so I ask her to open the box and let me look in it through the case.
She rolls her eyes and then pulls the box out AND pulls out the GP100 and puts them both on the counter and walks in the back to get the other girl. These were MY F'N guns and they were marked for sale in the display case. AND SHE NEW IT. I NEVER EVEN ASKED FOR THE GP100...
I look through the boxes and discover the paper with my name on it and show it to them and ask how could they have been placed in the display case and what would have happened if they sold them???
They got all pissy and said it could never happen and I said I sure hope not.
I do the paper work and pull out $35 bucks cash and the girl says that will be $70 bucks with a ****ty looking grin on her face. I told her that's not what I was told, and she responded well that's what it will cost, "You are transferring TWO guns" I reminder her they were on the same form but she said it didn't matter.
The manager/owner chick was standing there listening and I looked at her and she shook her head and said $70 bucks. She said something about a visit from the ATF and I wouldn't like it very much, and I reminder her that I don't have an FFL but if I did, I would expect a visit from the ATF every now and then.
By this time I was more than pissed off so I calmly paid my $70 bucks (with CC since I only had $35 cash) They tried to charge me extra for CC fees but I asked to see the sign about a fee charged for CC use and they didn't have one.
When I left, I told the owner chick that I knew that she had lots of business and it wouldn't hurt her one way or the other, but that I would never walk through her door again and would tell everyone that would listen about what happened today.
And I did just that
