    I'd be looking at disputes tribunal or similar. The threat might be enough to get more out of him. Also Name and Shame.

    No AMI always been good to us....but I wonder if it was a warranty return rather than new scope ordered will make a difference...

    Have emailed him and noted if nothing by Friday then complaint to Queensland police as firearms related object under export permit that did not leave the country, and no carriage documentation (ie scam). Will also engage legal counsel in Brisbane to pursue. Neither idle theats.

    Sorry
    But lesson to buy in NZ,
    I'd be gutted if my insurance company wasn't covering this.

    I don't think that is the lesson per se...using a large reputable insured goods carrier feels like the lesson.

    I reckon he's done ya guessing you paid for the scope upfront hes sold it for his profit and is hoping after a few months of trying you'll just go away.. that's what it looks like to me...... is it a credible company or just some guy?
    flights to oz are cheep at the mo lol jokeing

    have you emailed fair go and see what they say
    do you have a name for this guy googled him? ask about him on one of the oz based forums

    its a real prick mate and it might take a bit of the nasty guy

    Yeah it sure is... This is a Nightforce F1 warranty repair, organised through retailer then got this guy to do the carriage. He reckons its lost in NZ according to tracking but hasn't sent me tracking. Odd thing was he got me fill out a claim form via another outfit that are his client so guessing they did the leg work. I don't think it is a scam, but at the same time it is messed up. Will google queensland gun forums.
