Item was shipped and delivered as promised. I'm still disappointed at the time from purchase until fulfillment but the dealer was true to his word after initial communication and sent out the item. Received item in perfect shape. I am satisfied with this purchase and wish to close this item.

I am rejecting this response because:I have yet to hear from the business about the status of my items or the requested information regarding my items. The business assured this in their response and did not follow through, hence me filing this complaint in the first place.

I am rejecting this response because:I have have yet to receive the items, serial numbers or tracking details nearly 1 month post purchase. I was assured that I would have this information on Monday (2/3). As of 2/4/25, I have not hear from the business since our last correspondence via BBB messaging.
I sincerely hope, I will receive updates on my purchased items to conclude this transaction as quickly as possible at this point.

I am rejecting this response because: Can they give an estimated shipping date? I would like to know when the product will be shipped. This is not a FORMAL REJECTION or ACCEPTANCE OF the offer. Just a follow up with a question.

on 240618, ordered 3 magazines (192918 for $81.56). in account info, showed "processing" (still to this day shows it). Never was updated to show any shipping, tracking, etc. info. Sent email on 0614 & 0617 to either ship or cancel based on "processing". No response until 0617 "... not sure what's going on here..." -SSurp. No other contact or info. Items discovered delivered Tuesday 0618. Contacted SS for return & refund due to lack of effective service and no status updates. Meanwhile, ordered items from competitor & instructed SS to cancel the order & tell me if they wanted them back. No response. Then, finally: " If you would like to return items, you are more than welcome to. There will be a 15% restocking fee." What service! (sarcasm). I told them if they wanted them back to LMK & send me a handling fee for my time, gas, and hassle for dealing with THEIR MISTAKES. But, you see the response: 15%. What a lot of "baloney". They are FLAT REFUSING to entertain return except for charging me $12.23 PLUS shipping I have to pay for. If you don't do your job, YOU pay, not me. I'm really fed up with crooked companies and their poorly-performing employees and management with their heads stuck up their ..... They seem to think bad service deserves a reward paid by me - the customer. I will not be doing any more business with this bunch.Business Response

Hello, Order was placed on the 8th of June, which is a saturday and we are closed on weekend, your order was processed and put in line to be shipped on monday the 10th. The item delivered to your mailbox on the 14th before you emailed us on that same day, we did advise it was delivered and we also emailed your tracking info for the item as soon as it shipped, tracking ( **********************), tho it wasnt until the 18th that you resonded saying they were in your mailbox. i have also attached the email we sent you about that tracking info. We are more than happy to take the item back for the restocking fees, but we cannot Justify paying for the other requests because we did send emails stating that the items have shipped and such.
Hope this helps, thanks and have a great day

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However, I would like to state the following in rebuttal to the business response: (1) They never emailed me a tracking number as stated. (2) The claim to never have received my inquiry into the order status - filled out the contact form on their website, and I called the number listed for them on BBB, the message indicated it was in fact the business in question, and I left a voicemail. So they either need to fix their internal customer service issues or continue to get complaints from their customers. Per tracking provided based on this BBB inquiry, I should get my order tomorrow 3/15/24.

I saw an offer on Shooting Surplus' website offering to sell me 250 rounds of .410 gauge ammo for $30.34 plus $13.99 for shipping. The ammo was listed as being "in stock". I immediately accepted that offer and paid with my credit card. I received the confirmation that I uploaded with this complaint. Now, today, I got an email from the company claiming that it cannot fulfill my order because the ammo is supposedly out of stock. Based on the many complaints filed by other people who have experienced exactly the same treatment it is clear to me that this company is intentionally and purposefully engaging in a scam to lure people in and get their addresses, names, credit card info, phones numbers, etc. I want Shooting Surplus to specifically perform on the purchase contract I made with them. Otherwise, I will sue them for the difference in price I will be forced to pay to obtain the ammunition they agreed to sell to me at that price.

Hello, we are not a scap, we didnt bait you in, we simply notified you of the out of stock ammo and refunded you as soon as we found out. that ammo was on sale and it all sold very quickly and several people had to get refunded because when multiple people order at the same time and this is only a certain number of that product left, it will not update in the system fast enough to show out of stock before that customer, i.e. you, pays for it. We hope this helps and if it comes available again we can definetly let you know. but it is out of stock and we refunded you completly. Thanks and have a blessed day.
