Thread: 100 days after paying

How'd you get on @Rob ? Was thinking about this the other day to see if you got the result you were hoping for?

Probably a bit scared to name until the job is done correctly or shit could get nasty and gun not done to satisfaction. Best wait til gun in hand and job done to satisfaction then name

Still in the process of getting it all tided up ,got rifle back last Thursday,it's missing a couple of bits that are apparently on courier being sent on Tuesday this week . But no tracking number.
So mb tomorrow if I'm lucky .

Any work on rifles or purchases I make on tm I only deal with people in the South Island.Any problems I can drive to their door.

Rifle duly turned up after a while and everyone was happy because we communicated .

That's it man, fuck ups and unforeseen circumstances happen all the time. Its how a business deals with it that separates good service from bad. People are generally pretty understanding as long as communication is clear and you do your best to make things right.

Its not hard, but I think a few of these practical trade minded fellas just struggle to wrap their head around the admin side. Just not wired that way.

All the missing bits turned up yesterday.
Pretty happy with it.

Good one.

@rod

The key question to to is;
“Would you use the same gunsmith on your next project?”

Sometimes we want to say neither good, not bad about a business service experience; but the above Question IMHO puts it in perspective....

It certinaly does.
Pretty happy with how it looks,Still need to shoot to really see how it is .
But more than likely I wouldn't as way to much hassle trying to get it all sorted when it should be a pretty easy process.

Its the wrong way around lol

Glad you finally have it all back, definitely not good enough from the guys that did the job.

In that situation i would be rather quick to get into contact with the police if I found a reason not to trust the company.. better safe than having a rifle in the wrong persons hands if it did go missing or something like that.

I'm glad your happy with it.

I hope its a tack driver.

You deserve it to be, especially with the patience you have shown, others certainly would not have been the same !

Good on you @rod for keeping stumm! Many would have let lose and there is always two sides to the story.
Nice to see that you have it all back.
For anybody else. Make sure that you have a solid paper trail. Put everything in writing and get all agreements in writing. That way if shit dose hit the fan you have a couple of good legs to stand on.
Got taught that lesson earlier this year. Cost me £500.00 put think it was worth it as I now make bloody sure I won't get caught like that again.

@rod Just wondering how your rifle is going? Shooting tight groups & enjoying it?

That is completely piss poor mate. I'd let him know the rifle will need to be in your hands withen the next 5 days filling that name an shame will be brought upon him with the next call being the police to report a missing firearm under his care.
