I bet he is running a one man shop so he has to do what gets him the sells.
LOL.... same thing here... he didn't ask for the bad one back but he did add 2 extra with my Plinkster.... ummm.. they were .22 mags.. I don't have .22 SPA guns.... I e-mailed him and he basically refered to himself using the same description as Betty Lou uses for me from time to time. He sent the replacements right out and I'll send the .22 mags back.
It is annoying not to be treated on an individual basis and I've had this conversation with Mike a couple times. MRodair is not the only one to do business this way... anyone ever get tracking from Flying Dragon? I also have UPS My Choice and have yet to see a delivery automatically pop up. YMMV.Bottom line Let us know how you like the gun and tell us which one you ordered next..
I've only ordered from him once, but I logged in to My UPS and it showed the scheduled delivery. I had it in 2 or 3 days. If you insist on an automated tracking email, you can always order from overseas, and pay a whole lot more!
