I Attempted to cancel the order and received an email stating that its too late and they ordered this item from another entity. What a ******! Obviously now I'll have to initiate a claim for 200.00 from my credit card companyInitial Complaint

On July 12th 2023 I attempted to purchase (4) 20oz paintball Co2 tanks from hero outdoors' website. The product showed "in stock", I placed the order, paid with ******, and the transaction went through. About 20mins later I received a phone call saying my order could not be fulfilled because the product I ordered had been discontinued. The employee I spoke to said she "wasn't sure how I could have purchased a discontinued item", but said there was another product available but at a cost difference. I said id prefer a refund and was advised I should email their sales department through the website for a refund. I did so as soon as I got off the phone with the employee. I received an email the next business day offering an additional 10% as in-store credit if I chose not to "cancel" my order. There was a few more emails and details exchanged, but in the end I still requested a refund. After being told it was sent off to their financial department, I received no communication regarding the refund or when I might receive it. I called the store today to ask about the details of my refund and was told "call back at the end of next week". ***** ******* ****** ** ******** ******** ** ******* ******** ******** ******** *** ***** *** ***** ** ***** *** ******* ** ** **** ** ***** ******** ** * ****** ****** **** ** *** ***** **** * ****** **** * ****** ***** * ******** ******* * **** ** **** ** **** ***** **** ***** *** **** * ***** ***** ** *** My order number is ****** and the order total was $140.07. Initially it showed in the cart that it qualified for free shipping, but when I placed the order, there was a $2.04 charge applied labeled as "route package protection" which I was told was essentially shipping insurance.Initial Complaint

Terrible shipping & customer service experience. Ordered airsoft parts, listed as IN STOCK, after my order sat "awaiting fulfillment" for 2 weeks, I asked about it and turns out some items were back-ordered. They answered promptly and offered an additional 10% store credit, so I thought I'd give them another chance and place another order for similar parts. Again, my order sits as "awaiting fulfillment" for two weeks, so I decide I've had enough and ask for it to be cancelled. Turns out Hero is "unable to cancel an order after it is placed" (when that was exactly what was done on my first order) *** *** **** * **** ** ***** ******** * ****** ******. I'd like my order(s) completely cancelled and a refund issues for the total spent of $301.08.Initial Complaint

Last month I paid close to 70 dollars for a rifle part. My package was stolen from my front door and upon attempting to contact Hero Outdoors through phone and email for a refund I was left without a reply. I just want my money back since Hero Outdoors couldn't have been bothered to use a reputable delivery service like ****** ****. I ended up going through a private deal to obtain the part I needed. Absolutely will not be recommending the services of Hero Outdoors to anybody going forward.Initial Complaint

I ordered from Hero Outdoor with price of almost a hundred dollars. on Jan 6th 2023. Recently I don’t want this item now. The order status is still awaiting. Thus I asked refund. I sent emails with no response. Later Jan 12th 2023, I made a phone call asking about refund. They refused any refund with a reason that my ordered items are going out from their warehouse telling me to wait for about a month without refunding any money.
