Just learned the hard way, buyer beware...

I imagine if you went to a pawn shop, say someplace like Sooner State, they'd probably ship it for you for a reasonable fee.

What you learned is there are reasons to support your LGS, and that cheapest price for retail doesn't mean everything. You went and bought from the cheapest retailer, even though they couldn't care less about it's firearms customers and now you act surprised there's no customer service? Maybe buy from a legit shop next time, even if it is another twenty bucks. Probably work out better for you.

at least you didn't buy it from rijas

Did you try other shotgun shells?

Yeah, gun MFG's not paying shipping is standard on lower end guns from lower end mfgs. The seller of said gun not touching anything to do with the return is also standard.

I see you are in the OKC Metro, If I was you, I'd contact Sooner State Pawn and see if they will help you ship the gun at lower cost. I'd be surprised if they didn't as everything I've heard about them has been stellar.

Yes as someone else said.... Send it USPS priority It will be alot less than the required next day air from contract carriers.

Not Wal-marts fault on this one though.

+1 from me. Most big box shops make you sign a waiver that says something to the effect of we are not responsible for anything once you leave and a no return policy. You might as others have stated call or email the manufacture and have them issue a call tag on it and let them eat the freight. If they won't then that should tell you the company isn't worth it's salt and to go a different direction all together. Even when you get a working gun myself I'd sell it and buy a good used gun or an escort. But to each there own. Good luck.

I buy quality products from quality suppliers and I am happy 99% of the time.....But it took me a long time and a lot of wasted money to get to this point!!!!

 

[jakeman]

the bitter taste of poor quality lingers long after the sweet taste of low price is forgotten

You don't have to overnight a long gun with ups or FedEx. You can even ship it through the post office if its a long gun.

I can't begin to tell you how many long guns I've shipped by UPS Ground for $25 or less, all over the country. It is not uncommon for the desk clerk at UPS to not know what their firearms policy is. Go to UPS website and get the info yourself and then present it to the local.
