    I bid on a crossbow and ammo from bismanbids. After 30+ days i started contacting them for delivery dates. No response for days, said it was on its way, and nothing. I bid on and won the crossbow for 10$, apparently that wasnt acceptable to them and after another two weeks of waiting they refunded my money. I stated several times I wanted the bow, they didnt care. My ammo I bid on and won was supposedly shipped, but never delivered. I contacted bismanbids repeatedly for assistance on my package with zero help. I contacted fed ex and bismanbids to try to solve the problem to no avail. Ive requested a refund countless times with no response. Ive contacted the online hunting auction site numerous times to attempt to make contact with bismanbids, no reply. I emailed bismanbids to contact fed ex to solve this issue, they have not. Its obvious they had no intention of delivering my bow. Its also obvious once they are paid, they are no longer concerned. *** ex stated over the phone they lost the package and would refund the money if bismanbids would contact them with the shipping info, they have done nothing.

    Purchased an item via auction Nov 17th which charged on Nov 20th, had my local firearm *********** ffl on Nov 18th. Waited 1 week and no update and sent response. Waited about 2 business days and no response sent follow up email and filled out form on their website. Sent follow up email again 2 days later, no response from anything. Waited this week and no response sent follow up and disputed charge due to lack of communication. Found another email address linked to business and forwarded email thread plus updated what was happening. Immediately charged me additional $200 and said it doesn't matter now since you're disputing.

    I purchased numerous items on *********** auction site on line. Thousands of dollars. I received some of my items but they still have yet to send me about a dozen items equaling thousands of dollars. I did receive the lesser valued items with no problem but the more expensive items are the problem i am marking this complaint about. It has been months since they told me I would receive my items and now they no longer respond to the emails we were previously discussing these issues on. I have ask for a refund on these items with no response. Over the last 3 months it has been excuse after excuse for the delay of these items that were charged to my credit card at time of purchase.

    On August 25, 2023, I won an auction presented by Bismanbids.com out of ******* **, as presented on Hibid.com. I contacted the auction company the next day by email and offered to pay for my winnings. I did not hear from them. On August 31st, I again contacted them by email, I received a reply saying I had not won the item because the reserve had not been met. There was no reserve listed in the auction, and they have refused to answer on what any reserve *** have been. The opening bid on the item was $300 which should have been the reserve price. I want them to provide the item for the price I won it on the auction for and in the future list a reserve price if there is one. **************************************************************** Thank you for your time. Contact me by email @ ****************** if you have any questions ***********************

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business.
