Very disappointed with the service from my gunshop
- Thread starter Speaky
- Start date
I agree that people can all have a bad day. However the last rifle I bought was from Forrest Lodge Guns they steered me away from a secondhand rifle and did an amazing deal on a brand new one which was old stock and only slightly more expensive than the secondhand one! Same make and model.
The rifle was delivered to Bamfords Guns in Lancashire, when I went to the shop they were very busy and one guy was eating his meal behind the counter. He stopped and asked if he could help? I explained I was there to collect a transferred rifle. I didn’t expect him to jump up and leave his hot food but he did . We completed the paperwork and he and a colleague asked to examine and shoulder the rifle.
They didn’t have to but they both exclaimed it was a cracker and remarked that it would give great accuracy and should serve me well. They even helped me to the car with the boxed rifle.
It was just a transfer and little money in it for them but I left feeling delighted!
I think both gunshops deserve my thanks

Must admit
Must admit that does sound top services from both shops.

I know some chainsaw shops can be funny when u buy new saws elsewhere and expect any warranty work to be done their.

Never been, never seen, I used my Sherlock Holmes hat to deduce the store in question with the cryptic clue the OP gave...
You can please some of the people some of the time ......
seems unlikely that a gun shop would be busy?

I think it amazing that you ordered something and the gun shop actually got it in locally they are very good at talking but the stuff you order never actually turns up

Good lord. Shocking.
When I go into Tesco I expect nothing less than a fanfare at the door and personal attention from at least 3 members of staff.
Given the thousands of pounds I spend there yearly, it really is the very least I am entitled to.

Not a gun shop but many years ago a chap walked into a long since gone iron mongers in town was ignored by staff for over half hour to be asked as he went to door can we help you ?
Yeah I only wanted a new Rayburn he said as he slammed the door so hard the glass fell out
Most gun shops locally are all pretty friendly.

Simpson Brothers Gun Shop at Wittering Grange Farm near Peterborough are good. Went in last week to order a new rifle. Was offered a cup of tea or coffee as usual. They spent a good deal of time showing me the PSE stock I’d also asked to have a look at. I ordered a new scope too so was spending a sizeable chunk of change, but a good price was agreed. Everybody friendly. And the shop was busy.

Gun dealers seem to be hit or miss personality wise, but as someone has said maybe its just a sign of the times across the country as a whole.
