Anyone ever DENIED an airgun from airgdepot from FedEx?

[Chichi]

I’m thinking about denying an air gun from FedEx when it arrives to be returned to air gun depot for another air rifle.

I feel horrible about it but it’s my well earned money and I want a different rifle.

anyone do that before?

That's your prerogative and I have refused one to get another. I did call them to let them know as well.

Are you returning just for buyer's remorse? If so, I would be honest with AGD and tell them YOU ordered the wrong gun, and see what they will do for you. Anything else would be unethical.

I’m sure people have done it before. They will likely try to charge you for the return shipping, which they have a right to do so since it seems like a case of buyers remorse. If they do just eat the shipping cost and get the other gun, it’s better than keeping a gun you don’t like and likely selling it shortly after for a bigger loss.

There are costs associated with the shipping and restocking of said merchandise. Better to be honest, as you did order said rifle, didn’t you? To reject delivery solely based on changing your mind doesn’t seem right.

I would accept it, don't open and call them. Tell them you change your mind, buy the new gun and return the old one for a refund.

When dealing with Airgun Depot in the past,
I *accidentally* placed an order with them for the *wrong* scope mounts.. 
I hit them up as soon as I caught it, but, they worked too fast that day, and already had em' shipped out. 
[Amazing service / speed IMO]

They told me to "refuse the package - as it would then immediately be sent back to them". So that's what I did.

It was the very first time I'd ever refused a delivery, so, it felt a bit odd, but, it worked.
As soon as they received the order back at their shop, I was immediately credited.

*If you need to use this method for whatever reason, do them a solid, and let them know ahead of time!

*Sometimes there could be a return fee 
*Sometimes there could be a re-stock fee

Just check with them to find out. Policies differ from place to place.

Call them ask the best way, Even if it costs you a few bucks. Simply refusing it because you changed your mind seems underhanded. And they do (or can) see these posts...........

This one call right away before it comes ! BTW what did you order & what do you want maybe that first one is better for your needs

You can always send it back but you should also pay ALL shipping costs. The dealer shouldn't take a hit because you changed your mind.

Every time I read something like this I have more respect for the guys on this forum. Hats off to Chichi also. He knew what he was thinking about doing was greasy but if enough guys supported it or did it, then it would be ok. Doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest or cheapest way but it’s the best way to not lose your integrity. Sometimes it’s all we have left when making tough decisions.

I don’t really know if what he’s trying to do is shady or not. Plenty of retailers will use the “refuse shipment” option because they can confirm the package will be returned to them unopened and the item can be sold as new. If they leave it up to the customer to return, they don’t know what they’re getting back and in what condition.

My advice is just shoot AGD a call and let them know your plan. Good luck! (I change my mind all the time! Better to realize it now anyway).

WHAT rifle are you wanting to REFUSE and WHAT rifle would you RATHER BUY INSTEAD? Are you wanting to do it because of extended shipping delays due to Covid19 which took just way too long for delivery that you decided to get something else?

 

[Redick]

Restocking fees may apply but who cares, especially not AGD!

 

[Chichi]

Gentlemen! 
totally appreciate this forums members for sure!

yeah I know, it sounds greasy but I did send AGD an email yesterday explaining my plans of rejecting the package from FedX and so far crickets...“Chirp chirp”.

But I’d rather be happy with something i want. 


was it buyer remorse? Not in the beginning, after watching tons of you tubers reviews, I realized I made a mistake on my decision.

YO- Purchased the Fortitude .22, want the Avenger

Being this my first purchase of a PCP, it was NOT an easy decision folks! 


so, buyers remorse? Probably! Ain’t gonna lie.

 

[Chichi]

• I’m ok with restocking fees too.

 

[Yo]

The Fortitude has a much better warranty FIVE YEARS!!!! Both are prone to leaks by design IMHO. Benjamin shows up either right away or early on. The other may show symptoms half way through its warranty or right after its over unless Air Venturi had the Chinese POST ATI Nova Liberty manufacturer fix or improve that valve design and seals.

Call Airgun Depot and explain the problem.

Man-up and pay the FEDEX cost AND the restocking fee.
