Never again: send gun to business without checking the BBB

[Milorider]

I've had this sort of thing happen to me before, but it was a custom made holster. It seem to take about a year to get it straightened out. I finally wrote a complaint to that states Attorney General, i had my holster within two weeks after i did that and a very apologetic phone call & letter from the holster company that i was doing business with. You might give it a try, it seem to do the trick for my situation. Hope you get it back soon!

Just don't trust the BBB.

Just can't trust em. BBB has gone dirtbag.

I'm ALMOST hesitant to say anything — for it appears that there are some here that seem to have shorter fuses than I expected? At any rate...here goes!

I appreciate honest, justified, heads-up-type posts. If this sort of thing were made public more often, perhaps those companies whose ethics ARE questionable would see their profits drop. They MIGHT even begin to change their ways! After all, money is the thing they understand more than anything else.

It's a shame that the "free will" we've been given gives both scuzball-type companies AND individuals the opportunity to rip off ethical, law-abiding citizens. I certainly hope that you get the situation resolved.

I'm glad it worked out for you. I went to the California AG Web site and found they will only help California resiidents. I did find that the consumer affairs division can. I sent the information to them but haven't heard from them yet.

I haven't heard from the USPS Postal Inspectors either.

I just read on GlockTalk that someone else is having the same problem with SKI.

I understand what some have said about the BBB. I've seen both sides. They are not perfect but in this case they are on target from my perspective. Of course I'm biased in this case.

The Sheriff's office hasn't been able to make contact with SKI since the initial contact. They confirmed that I had not heard from SKI or received my gun and asked me for more information. They did not indicate what they will do next. I suspect they will contact the Anaheim police.

My local Sheriff's office was able to talk to Steve at SKI today. Steve told them the laser installation was done, the gun was being shipped out today and he would call them back with the tracking number. His explanation was that it was more involved than he originally thought, so it took longer.

I hope he comes through.

I finally got back in touch with the Sheriff’s office. He had a tracking number but he hadn’t called me because he didn’t know which carrier. I asked him for the tracking number. The package was delivered to the US Post Office two hours after I left on vacation Saturday morning! Now I’ll have to wait until I get back to see what is in the package. I hope it is my Glock rather than Anthrax.

My frame, with LAW-17, was waiting for me at the Post office. I haven't gotten to shoot with it but it appears to work as advertised. The switch is less sensitive than Crimson Trace, which is not a bad thing. The workmanship is not quite up to my expectations. I'm just glad to have it back.

This purchase will always have an asterisk beside it no matter how good the LAW-17 is. A vendor should communicate with their clients. It should not have to take getting LEO involved to get action.

By that way California Consumer Affairs wouldn't get involved. They suggested the BBB.

A nice lady at the BATF called me today. The BATF only takes stolen firearms reports from FFL holders but she gave me some suggestions.

My local Sheriff's office was able to talk to Steve Kelley on the phone today. Steve told them he would get my frame back to me and he would call me this afternoon. I am cautiously optimistic.

Get a C&R FFL and instantly the theft of one of your firearms becomes a felony
