Thread: 100 days after paying

Sent a rifle off to gunsmith middle of last year to be turned into a 28 nosler. Got the bill 24th April this year paid it the next day ,still don't have the rifle 100 days after paying .after a Lot of excueeses was told it was sent last week on tuseday then it didn't get picked up
Given tracking number on Tuesday this week that doesn't work rung courier nothing picked up or dropped into them.
Anyone got any advice what to do next.
I'm.in the bottom of the South and it's in the north island.

Shit Rod that sounds like a hard run around mate

If i was you i would be putting a name and shame up to put pressure on them to deliver gunsmithing and custum guns defiantly aren't a massive market her in nz.

Yeah pretty much over it.
One thing after another. Says somthing in dosent deliver..pretty disssapointing really .

Police? IRD?
Effectively a stolen rifle and fraud?

I have no idea really but that is a shit shituation to be in.

Others will come along with knowledge on what to do in this situation I am sure.
They may advise not to name and shame before resolution/

I think a year is a long time to be patient and you have kept up your end of things by the sound of it, I hope you get it resolved soon

Thinking reporting or threat of reporting it missing to the police might hurry him along .

That might be a sensible thing to do, whether or not you want to hurry him up. If he doesn't have it then who does?

Ird are more scary than the police....I would be looking at both those avenues but dont do anything just yet....I am sure some clever legal type will arrive on the thread.

Way things have gone he'll still have it .

My suggestion would be to first advise him that you will be approaching the police as the firearm has gone missing in transit. Suggest that if he has genuinely sent it that the courier must have possession so ask for a specific date for when it was sent so you can follow up wit the Arms office.

When and if you speak to the Arms office, it would not hurt to explain that you suspect he has not sent it and that he is potentially heading to a fraudulent situation, but if he thinks the AO is actually looking into it, he may be more inclined to tell the truth. A year is too long. If he cannot do this, he should have fronted up and admitted it earlier.

You may have a leg to stand on under the consumer guarantee's act?

Yup. Fair Trading ...... not a good example!

We can probably guess who this gunsmith might be.

Read this thread, then make him pay
