Purchases from Hendershot's in Maryland ???

Anyone buy anything from Hendershot's at the DSC show in January ? I bought a couple Blaser R8's & seem to be getting the run-around from them when I call & try to get a status on my order. I also contacted BlaserUSA & they are not wanting to discuss any issues about Hendershot's. I'm caught in the middle & can't get information. Anyone know if Hendershot's is having problems ? Thanks for any help - I'm out a lot of money.

Hopefully you used a CC for the purchase.

Frank, not sure what the problem is. Lance is a good egg...must be an inventory problem or something. It'll work out, for sure.

I bought my first Big Bore from Hendershots a few months back....good experience.

Hopefully it is just an inventory issue.

I've purchased guns from Hendershots. My experience has always been good. Lance was the one I worked with. He was easy to work with. All of my transactions have been at the store.
Hope it all works out for you.

Frank,

I actually drove thru Hancock Md yesterday on the way home from the inlaws.
I just looked at Hendershot's website and noticed that they're "closed for remodeling". That may have some bearing on your order.

Ive had great experiances with them! I have bought/sold about 10 guns from them in the past year.

I have dealt with Lance and he has always been great. I'm sure everything will work out.

When I lived in that area I was in Hendershot's shop a lot and bought and sold few rifles through them, man do I wish there was a shop like that where I live now.

Two things going on right now. Lance is buying out his dad and they closed for about six weeks for remodeling. I hope all is well! I have a bunch of guns there on consignment.

I received a call today from Hendershot's & they let me know that they are having a few difficulties with BlaserUSA, but are working through them & assured me I would get my rifles. I think everything will work out OK. I have dealt with Hendershot's in the past a few times & had very positive buying experiences.

What kind of "snag" are you talking about? Given that you attribute the delay, on a public forum, to a manufacturer, it might be useful info. to members here contemplating a purchase from Hendershots and/or Blaser USA. Maybe Blaser wants to tell us why this customer doesn't have his order if it's their problem?

Lance is a standup guy that stands by his products. I have every confidence that this will work out fine. They also took the time to weigh in and post a response. Some times the cynics are too quick to run for the rope.

No cynic here. I've dealt directly with Lance and Blaser. A guy doesn't post a "WTF?" thread if he's gettin' taken care of. If the poster is satisfied he should have the thread deleted or offer an update. For a guy to say he represents an involved party and say "don't worrry, it's the vendors fault" with no specifics is suspect.

I think the original poster has spoken.

Have to agree the group about Lance. I don't think there is a more trusting individual in the industry. Lance and Hendershots are first class in every way.

I have purchased 6 rifles from them in the last 3 years, never a problem. Communication has been first-rate as well.

I am glad you'll have had good dealings. I went to their store a few years ago and spent close to an hour and never had a clerk ask me what I might want. That made two visits first and last.
