So in summary:

i got it at Bud's Gun Shop, for about the same as the marked up price at CTD. which means, i was willing to pay that BUT no give my hard earned cash to CTD.

easy transfer thanks to Tom Hart.

credit has shown up on my credit card.

as a bonus, left a 1 star review on Yelp! for CTD.

so all in all, a learning experience. now need to hit the range to try it out. thanks for the comments.

This is one reason why I like having an AMEX card because they pretty aggressively defend their cardholders against merchant shenanigans.

I called VISA, "we'd like the cardholder to work it out w/ the merchant first". which puts me back waiting on CTD to get their behinds in gear.

I've done a lot of business with Bud's and have yet to be disappointed. Good folks to do business with.

thanks for the heads up on the Bud's shop. i went that route.

yes we went round and round. "why won't you honor your advertised price?", "well each warehouse has a different price.", "i didn't buy from a warehouse, i bought from YOU", etc.

(not sure where to post this and get advice, so put it here)

So I’m interested in the new Luger LC9s. and CTD has it for $321. Cool!! So Saturday I order one. Which means $321 + tax has already been charged to my credit card.

I keep checking back and “still processing your order”. I finally go to an online chat to see what’s going on. “Oh, they sold out. We are cancelling your order. You can order from another ‘warehouse’”. Well the next warehouse price is about $50 more. Smells like bait & switch!!!

So then I call because there is STILL a $321 charge on my card. “Well we’ll refund in 2 business days”, to which I said “that’s bull”. and “why won’t you honor the original price that YOU advertised and that YOU already took from me?!?”. “Well sir, we can’t do that.” To which I replied, “You CAN but you are choosing NOT TO!” which was met with silence then “is there anything else I can ‘help’ you with?”.

Is this worth a call to the Better Business Bureau?
