Buds Gun Shop Budsgunshop.comBud'sgunshop.comBud'sgunshopBud's Gun Shop Budsgunshop.com has BullSh!!!t return/refund policy Lexington Kentucky

On Jan 17, 2014, I ordered a .177 GAMO Silent Stalker form Budsgunshop.com. It came within a week, which was nice. I installed the scope that came with it and immediately took it out back to shoot it. I shot about 10-15 shots before I began to adjust the scope. However, I could not get more than 3-4 pellets within a 1" area from 75' away. I would have 3-4 within the 1" and Id have 10 all over the place. I emailed GAMO in, Ft Lauderdale, and they said that it was normal for the break in period to be 150-200 shots. Also they told be to double check the security of the scope. I removed and reinstalled the scope and started all over. That did nothing. I still had about 1/3 of the pellets in a very nice pattern but would have the rest up to 5" away. I brought the target to 25' and it was very obvious that there was a problem with the gun. Sure, it was quite. It was very light. And even felt nice when shooting it. But what a piece of crap! I followed up with GAMO and told them everything I had done, including shooting nearly 300 pellets thru it. They apologized that I was disappointed and said for a refund to send it back to where I got it. After about 4 days of emails, Budsgunshop.com never replied to me so I decided since Pyramyd Air and Airgun Depot BOTH have a 30 day No Questions Asked Return policy, I spent $20 and sent the gun back the Buds. A week later, I finally received an email from Buds stating that because the gun was used, they would NOT refund my money. 

Here is the letter to Buds on 2-7-14:
Tara K,
I contacted David at GAMO in Florida. He said if I had purchased the rifle through them, he could provide me with a full refund within 30 days. However, since I purchased through someone else, then he said that your GAMO distributor should be able to refund the money to you. I also, just spoke with Travis at Pyramyd Air, one of your competitors, to confirm their 30 day NO Questions Asked policy. After explaining the entire scenario, he said that they also offer a 30 day full refund, without question, and would retrieve their money from the GAMO manufacturer. Additionally, I emailed Airgundepot as to their policy regarding my exact scenario. Their policy is also a 30 day full refund, without questions. So is going through the same process that GAMO suggested or two of your top competitors do, something that Budsgunshop.com doesn't do OR won't do?? Somewhere between Budsgunshop.com and it's distributors is a professional service that is either lost or just not being used for the purpose of it's (your) clients. I ordered the air rifle from you because I thought Budsgunshop.com was a few dollars cheaper. But after an unsatisfactory experience with the gun and this unexpected hassle from you, I am now quickly regretting it. If I wanted to buy an air gun, use it for 2 days to be told to shoot it more, then pay $20 to ship it back from where it came from, I would have saved us both the headaches and drove to Walmart, spent $89, THEN returned it!! Since we all know that Walmart would probably take back used toilet paper if it meant keeping 1 more customer happy. I certainly wouldn't have expected this from a company that proudly posts over 1,300,000 satisfied customers since 2003. I am still persistent and anticipate a full refund. Thank you, ----

After numerous emails back and forth to Buds, GAMO, Pyramyd Air and Airgun Depot, Buds still would not refund my money but said they would send the gun to GAMO for "repairs". Repairs? What a joke!! I had no other choice but to tell them to send it to GAMO. I now am awaiting to hear from GAMO as to what is wrong. BTW,
Budsgunshop.com, certainly has nice and cordial people on the phone, however, I believe its just a front. If a customer can't add themselves to the "satisfied customer" count on their own, than its obvious that that number in itself is BS.
