I ordered a digital gauge and a FX slug liner from Huma Air on the 25th of June. A couple of days later Tony from Huma Air emailed me with the bad news that they could not send FX parts to the US I would have to go through a US FX dealer.
None of the dealers in the US have .22 700mm slug liners in stock thanks to those SA YouTube movie stars blowing the poop out of everything with utter precision. (I assume)
I asked Tony to just cancel the whole order so I could make another order worth the shipping cost, which he promptly did. The next day I received the refund to my credit card for $191. The only problem is the original amount I paid was $201.
I emailed Tony back and he said they processed the refund for the original amount of £ 161. I made my payment to them through PayPal. PayPal made the US to EU conversation at the time of payment and the refund at the time of refund. In five days the Eu to Us rate dropped substantially so I lost about ten bucks.
This is in no way the fault or responsibility of Huma Air they were very professional and responsive to my inquiries.
So the moral of my story is be weary of doing US to EU funds through PayPal.
I wonder if the exchange rate went the other way if I would’ve made money? I doubt it!
