No problem. I was cautious and had my reservations but the price was too good to pass up. Next time I'll go with my gut. I just hope that these guys get me my money back in time for me to find another gun before Christmas.
Years ago when I was a dealer, I dealt with D&R a LOT. I can tell you, at least then, they were a first rate outfit and they ALWAYS went out of their way to do the right thing. I seriously doubt much has changed over the last 15 years. My money says they'll treat you right. We have to remember that anyone, even you or me, can make a mistake. It's tough to handle, but it ain't the end of the world as long as they do the right thing. Look at the bright side, you could be holding a stainless Sako Finnlight in your hands and the Sako rep could be telling you it's ok to shoot!
I see a problem with your order (unless you have left somthing out), and that is that they need a "signed in blue ink" hard copy of your dealers FFL, for their files. A "e-mail" of you dealers address dosn't mean squat. The details are freely available on GB, and most dealers have the requirments listed in the discription.

Sounds like you can't follow simple directions, and they decided that dealing with you wasn't worth the hassel.

I contacted D&R about purchasing a Remington Model 7 Youth in 7mm-08 that they had on Gunbroker. I was told to send them a money order and they would ship the rifle as soon as they got it. I did as asked, got a USPS money order, shipped it Priority, and they received it two days after I talked to Mark. I was told the rifle would ship on Monday 10/22 and I would be contacted with a tracking number. Monday I didn't hear anything, waited until today, sent an email with the original auction number, my name, etc on it. Get an email back asking for the FFL dealer on my end. Email them back that info. Get another email today saying:
"this gun was closed out and we sold them all
we had to refund your money"
Freakin' nice huh? No apology, no explanation of when I will get my money. Nothing.
Forgot to add. This is supposed to be a Christmas present for my fiance. Maybe I'll just show her the picture...that should be enough to satisfy her...
Clark, It makes me sick to hear that, I think I was one that said he had a good experience with them. Sorry if I contributed in any way to the problem.....DJ
