Capital One called wants to know my return policy

I swear....some days are just too precious to measure.

I get this call....its Capital One and he is calling because someone wants to dispute the charge from a purchase.

This is from the beginning of NOVEMBER! I explain that "no, you cannot keep a gun more than two months and decide you want your money back".

He says the guy told him he was out of town when it first arrived and he then sent it to his gunsmith so it could be inspected.

I reply "that makes TWO reasons he is out of luck on this one because you cannot send any gun to a random gunsmith for any reason and think I will take it back."

The guy from Capital One then says "if he had contacted you within 30 days it would be ok then?" No.....no.....you can open the box, visually inspect it and tell me you found a problem and I'll work with you.....but if you walk out the door with it we are done.

I don't understand how ANYONE can be so naive about firearm transfers. Both this buyer and the guy from Capital One seem to be in la la land.

    I doubt the buyer is in la la land....he is just trying to take advantage. He likely thought he could screw you on the payment and keep the gun.

    I think some of the time its the transfer dealer that makes the guy feel like they made a bad purchase. No matter who or why....two months is crazy!

    This will be the longest anyone has taken before trying something like this.

    Altogether, I think I have had three people that have tried to dispute charges. Once it was a guy that bought 5 mags that fit a Glock....he wanted a refund because they weren't "Glock" mags....nevermind that they weren't described as GLOCK mags. One guy was not happy with the color of his Winchester 22 once he got it. There are nutty people out there!

    Tell Capitol One, my policy is simple. I do not take returns on Firearms. (And) I charge $35.00 late fee. None-refundable. Just like you do.

    I have never decided to return something and contacted the credit card company before I contacted the vendor.

    This guy got the gun November 17th.....left us bad feedback on Dec 29th....then I got an email from him the 1st week of Jan complaining about the gun....then today we get the call from Capital One. This is the strangest mess ever. I seriously never hear one word from the guy until after the bad feedback and he had the gun for longer than a month at that time.

    Don't blame the guy at Capital One. He's just following federal law regarding credit card disputes. Your buyer, on the other hand, is a putz.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    A firearm is the "only" item I've found that Wa-Mart won't take back, even unopened box, it's yours after purchase, good or bad........tell Capital 1 guy to check Wal-Marts return policy for a learned lesson [;)]

    Just look for the last bad feedback on my profile.....its pretty obvious this is nuts just by looking at that. I didn't mention the lengthy time he had it in my response to him.

    I guess feedback expires eventually.

    The last auction I won was your daughter's duct tape hat.

    My history shows no won auctions, nor does is show any feedback.

    I thought you had a three day inspection period, NON Firing, to return most guns. Once it leaves the FFL, it is yours and Tough chit. At least that is the way all the guns I bought and sold were done. This guy is a *. Tell him to switch hands and keep pounding, and he might get further.[;)] Good Luck Kasey, but I don't think you will need any dealing with Mr. HJ. Oakie

    Hello Kasey - I am not a 243 fan - but tell the jerk weed that I will give him $100 for the rifle and the gunsmith can ship it directly to me on my C&R license. Best Regards - AQH
