That is how I deal with NYC photography stores like B&H. I would recommend calling their local number, getting to know one of their staff.that might make the system work better. Longest time was when the 92 compact that I wanted had apparently grown legs over the weekend and they did a full store search for it. With all that I never take over 20-30 minutes for a purchase, from the first "May I help you?" to "Thanks for coming in.". And the range is usually full or close to it. Also a store full of customers every time I am there. Their shop now is a few thousand square feet, all guns and accessories and a bunch of folks there to help. Nothing but good service from very good people. I have been since 1993 in their first shop. I hope they revert back to the way they operated 5 or so years ago. So, I'd only do a Bud's deal if it was a used gun that I just really, really HAD to have and couldn't find elsewhere.
So, after paying, 5-7 days go by before someone actually boxes, wraps and addresses the item and gets it mailed, UPS'd or. We are talking about shipping dates here, not receiving dates. No reason, no reason and did I mention there's no reason for a delay of several days in shipping after payment is completely made. If that's not the reason, see below.īut, with used guns, there's no reason for a delay of a week after the item that is in stock is paid for. With new guns, we likely know the reason why-they ain't got it in stock and have to find/get it. Now, however, even if you pay instantly, they wait several days before shipping. Now, not long ago, they were one of, if not THE, go-to place for used guns, especially police-type trade-in revolvers. I think Moonman may have hit on the answer-Bud's is getting into too many different things and not doing very many of them very well. There is a option of electronically entering your checking account routing number and check #, but I did not feel like doing this (suppose it's no different then sending a check other than it's going across the internet) So I send them a e mail to question this and get a automated response(you can not actually talk with anyone) So while waiting, of course the gun is SOLD. Seems their policy now is if you choose this option, they will not guarantee it's yours and anyone can buy it out from under you if they pay by credit card or one of their new VIP members (which costs $25 a year)
So I go to buy a used gun and click pay by check or MO. That's fine as credit cards cost them money. If you pay by check there is a week or more delay for the check to clear. To take advantage of their "low" price you need to pay cash or MO. They also have their own penny stock bidding site and auction I guess now that they are so big and famous they can do what they want. I have purchased a few firearms from them only because my LGS could not find one.
