Ever hear of "Porch Piracy"? And, yes, a carrier service should never leave a package that requires a signature on the porch with no signature received, but does that mean it doesn't ever happen? Just something to think about, particularly at this time of year.
I only use brick and morter stores period. They have little to no overhead and undercut the real business man. I did a FFL transfer in Bixby once, felt like a back room drug deal you'd see on TV. Very unprofessional. Not even a nice office. A backroom in the house, snotty nose kids and dogs everywhere. 1970s dumpster furnature...never again.
We're not all THAT bad . . . I at least have an office.
It happens everywhere.
I've heard of carriers leaving packages at a gun store in a strip mall . . . after hours when the place was closed.
Not saying you are. And I'm glad you have an office.
Your "never again" comment seemed to indicate you felt all home-based folks weren't worth your time.
If not, my bad.
This is why I'm very selective in who I deal with anyway . . .
I have bought from both types of FFL. Lately have bought from Sooner State Pawn.
Put it this way, if I know you more than an internet avatar on a gun forum and know your home based business is a professional setting, I'll use you. I drove to Bixby from Tuttle to do business with this individual because he had a super good sale on what I was looking for and a "friend" (spoken losely).
I almost walked out before I signed anything.
Pretty judgemental of you. Did you get your item? Was it in the same condition as if you bought it from a b&m? Sorry a home makes you uncomfortable. And yes, they do have overhead, its called a family. That "professional setting" just means you pay a higher price for the same item/service.
