Beware of this gun dealer.  They do not have your best interest in mind and only want your money, then you will be forgotten.   If you have a problem or a question don't you dare attempt to contact them unless it has been 7 days after you placed your order as they will ignore you and hide behind their arrogant policies. Charging their customers 3% to use a debit or credit card should alert you right away not to deal with them..  Only a few gun dealers do this and it is just wrong.  Imagine going to WAL-MART and them telling your there is a 3% fee for using a debit or credit card on top of the price of there goods.

I placed an order on Oct 12th and my payment was deducted from my checking account on the 14th.  Today is the 21st and my gun still has not shipped to me. Their policy says it can take up to 6 days but my credit union consistently post payments within 24-48 hours for years without a single delay. I also own a business and take debit and credit cards so I know how merchant accounts work.  These people are simply the worst to deal with.  I can only imagine my customers reaction if I told them they would have to pay an additional 3%.  So much for direct wire transfer.  You'll save the 3% but you'll also wait weeks to get your order.  Won't happen to me again.

Aren't you being a little unreasonable?

AUTHOR: Ken - Greeley (USA)

You're a businessman and you can set YOUR policies any way you want.

This dealer is very upfront with their policies, which you SHOULD have read.

Here's their policy, direct from their site. I wouldn't rule out me dealing with them because of your ROR.

All prices on BudsGunShop.com are cash-discounted prices. Please review the list below to see which payment types are eligible for the discount. Payment methods accepted by BudsGunShop.Com are

Money Order(3%cash discount applies)
Certified Check (3% cash discount applies)
Personal Checks including online bill payments (3% cash discount applies, orders held for 5 business days for check to clear)
E-Check / ACH (3% cash discount applies, orders held for 5-6 business days to allow funds to clear our bank)
Financing, BudsGunShop.com GE Money 6 months/ 12 months Account (cash discount does not apply) Click here for details on finacing and to apply for credit.
Visa (cash discount does not apply)
Mastercard (cash discount does not apply)
Discover (cash discount does not apply)


Now, their timeline should allow you to check with them and not have them "ignore you or hide behind their arrogant policies."

Let us know how it all works out, I like the look of their site, their pricing, product variety and can live with their stated policies.

Good luck to you.
