Several DFW area gun stores with online web stores that I have inquired about something listed as "In Stock" on the website do not actually have the items "in store." I do business with Grab A Gun because they are friendly, relatively fast to ship and convenient to my office for pickup in store.Bolton Strid wrote:Your definition for what qualifies as “In Stock” differs broadly from mine also. Same question for you, chief - that products shown as “In Stock” that are in reality not even in inventory, charging the customer well before something ships even though there is no written notification of that as being a condition for completion of the transaction and slow shipping are acceptable practices to be expected and have to be lived with across the spectrum of online firearm merchants, or specifically Grabagun?
As someone else said in an earlier post, this is simply the way things are now. A local gun store competing with Cabelas, Gander, Academy, etc cannot afford to have the quantities of inventory "in store" to provide everyone with everything they want the day they want it.
Every time I order from Amazon, my card is charged at the time of order, even though the items are "in stock" but may not ship for 2 or 3 days.
If I want something "today" I go to brick and mortar locations until I find what I want and pay the price.
