[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2938896, member: 9374"] Tough one, yes, but I don't think Christmas is truly RUINED. I'm assuming your plan was to overnight the gun or what? I am not going to defend them if they said they were going to do it and didn't, but when time is of the essence, face-to-face deals and people you know or have experience with is always best, in my experience. Sadly, trying to institute a "special handling" transaction sight-unseen, new acquaintance/customer over the phone at the 11th hour during Christmas week is a tough one. I'm sorry it didn't work out, but try to keep it in perspective - your firearm wasn't lost, mishandled, or stolen. They didn't fax their info. Maybe the post-it note got misplaced, maybe another employee couldn't read the handwriting, I dunno. Either way, don't let it steal your joy in the gift for your son. Either get with them again, or find another dealer and try to handle it maybe face-to-face and move on with your life. Don't let it spoil YOUR Christmas. You'll be fine in the longrun, so will your son, and it'll be an anecdote on the gun for a lifetime of stories. Merry Christmas! <edit>Look at my goofy curmudgeon self, all waxing philosophic when I'm usually just an a-hole. lol It MUST be Christmas! :blush: [/QUOTE]
