Prod $230.62

[UCChris]

Called Crossman this morning and spoke with Cameron about my Black Friday order status and he said it had already shipped Monday but I had not received an email detailing this as I had used PayPal to purchase it (and PayPal ALWAYS sends an email when items are shipped) and he said their (Crossman’s)  system is glitchy occasionally but that it had shipped. Very good customer service/PR from them.

I just spoke to Cameron and he said mine has shipped out also.

I noticed that the standard syn and wood stocked marauders did not have any 25% off on the website, but the realtree versions did.  Still are that way.  The Mrod wasn't listed in the exclusions, either. 

I placed three orders but did not use or try to login.  Received two, and shipping label has been created for the 3rd.

When did you place your order? I placed mine on the 29th and haven't heard a peep.

Friday the 29th

If your on gmail, check your spam folder.  That's were the order notification showed up on my first order

Are yall able to login to your accounts? I've tried with various devices and browser, but the connection keeps timing out.

My login is busted again today too.  It was busted over the weekend and worked Monday/Tuesday.

My email also put it in my spam folder. I got my prod yesterday and it's all in order. I may have gotten it so quick because I'm less than 2hrs from Bloomfield. Its accurate with cphp and I'm happy.

Seems glitches in the Crosman system as previously mentioned.

My two orders have been quite well handled;

Rifle - ordered and email confirmed 29 Nov, invoiced and shipped 1 Dec, arrive 5 Dec (tomorrow)

Accessories/Amo - ordered and email confirmed 29 Nov, invoiced and shipped 30 Nov, arrive 4 Dec (today)

Both with UPS tracking numbers

I tried to take advantage of Crosman's holidays deal to purchase a Maximus Hunter but they declined the sale!  They stated they could not ship an airgun to my home in Rhode Island as it would violate state law.?? 

""We cannot ship airguns to the following locations:
States: Delaware, Illinois (.22 caliber and greater), New Jersey, Rhode Island, District of Columbia
Counties: King County (WA)
Cities: Seaside (CA), Bridgeport (CT), Stratford (CT), New York (NY), Brooklyn (NY), Bronx (NY), Staten Island (NY), Queens (NY), Glen Oaks (NY), Floral Park (NY), Yonkers (NY), Buffalo (NY), Rochester (NY) Philadelphia (PA), York (PA)""
How did you guys in NY make out?

 I have a call into Crosman's legal guy, Spencer, hopefully he can get back to me with the statute because this is ridiculous.   

M
Addendum:  JUST had a long conversation with Spencer and here is Crosman's official stand. (on RI anyway)  RI statute §11-47-2 (3) states  "Firearm" shall include any machine gun, pistol, rifle, air rifle, air pistol, "blank gun," "BB gun," so-called, or other instrument from which steel or metal projectiles are propelled, or which may readily be converted to expel a projectile, except recurve, compound, or longbows and except such instruments propelling such projectiles which instruments are designed or normally used for a primary purpose other than as a weapon. The frame or receiver of any such weapon shall be construed as a firearm under the provisions of this section."

Therefore, Crosman as a manufacturer and retail dealer of "firearms" is required to obtain a license by this law : "§ 11-47-38. Dealers to be licensed. No retail dealer shall sell or otherwise transfer, or expose for sale or transfer, or have in his or her possession with intent to sell or otherwise transfer, any pistol, revolver, or other firearm without being licensed as provided in this chapter."

SO, out of an abundance of caution in this litigious society, and not wishing to purchase a license to manufacture firearms in RI, they simply do not sell to RI residents.  not worthy but I can see their point of view.  Spencer was very pleasant to talk to, even siding with me in that he can sympathize with my frustration, encouraging me to get this (likely purposefully) very poorly written legislation clarified or ratified by the state since the ATFE is VERY specific as to what constitutes a firearm.

God bless our elected representatives for keeping us safe......

From my past experience if I just pay as a guest and with PayPal I get a "shipped/tracking number" email. If I log in and pay with my Credit Card I may or may not get a "shipped/tracking number" email. Of course the down side to buying as a guest is those orders don't ever show in the order history in my account.
I didn't order a P-Rod or any other guns with the double discount this time. I did order some steel breeches and some sights though and as a guest using PayPal and got a "shipped/tracking number" email. I don't know if not having an order in your account order history could ever cause a problem, say with a warranty issue for instance, because I have never had to deal with any warranty issues.

I don't know if the guest with PayPal is excluded from the glitch or correlates to the "glitch" any any real way, it just has been an observation of my experience so far.
 It my not be a "software glitch" but just a human error on how the orders are being handled? When it come right down to it "software glitches" are human error too, if the programing is done right it will work right until it is corrupted later.

In a perfect world with perfect people mistakes/errors, and glitches would not exist. I think Crosman does a pretty good job!

I am surprised that the double discount was allowed for so long. MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!

My two orders were on my account and paid by credit card.    Perhaps my lucky day?   And especially so considering the double discount.

I just presented some anecdotal evidence from my experience.
Anecdotal is like when you observe that 95% of people that got in a car accident in the last month ate dairy within a week of their accident. It would not prove any correlation to dairy foods and car accidents.

My $230 P-ROD will arrive tomorrow according to UPS.  Adult signature required.

Matt, do you have anyone you know in another state like family or close friends you could send it to the next time, then pick it up from them? Or have them purchase it and you pay for it?

[Techie]

Wow; that's got to be among the most restrictive airgun law in the U.S.A., considering even a Daisy b.b. gun a firearm.  I know New Jersey has had a similar law for at least my lifetime (64 years) as I grew up there and you needed a state firearm I.D. card to even buy a b.b. gun. 

Good luck getting that law changed.  So many people in those eastern states go ballistic whenever a gun is even mentioned.  They are crazy with fear over guns.  It's another world that I unfortunately am exposed to every now and then with eastern relatives and friends.  I got out as soon as I was old enough to do so.

[PlacidBlueDog]

With regards to that list I think by New York (NY) they mean Manhattan (the other four boroughs are on there). I'm in Upstate New York and got it two days ago and crosman also ships out of New York.

[only1harry]

I am in downstate NY 1hr north of NYC and got mine yesterday.  Never had an issue getting AG's and parts.  The only vendor that won't ship to me is Walmart, not even an empty plastic box called "ammo can", but that's fine if they don't want my money.  Their loss, not mine.

BTW, for some reason I always thought the Prod used Mrod magazines..  I just noticed today when I shot it and put it through the Chrono that the Prod uses an 8-round mag - smaller than the Mrod's 10-round.  Had I known I would have ordered a couple of mags with the 25% code when I ordered the Prod   Oh well, that one is one me.  I messed up and now have to place another order.

Who has the best price on Prod .22 mags?  I can't find it on Amazon.  They all say Mrod "rifle".

I'm glad my family left New Jersey when I was 11.  However, California is doing a great job catching up to them.

It looks like my PayPal PROD arrives on Monday.  The Crosman CSR said on Tuesday that my first order that hung their website was not shipped since it was marked as a duplicate.  Well they posted both the PayPal and the original order on my credit card.  My account at Crosman has been locked out since Wednesday.  I'll let the dust settle on the sale and have them fix the extra charge. 

[luge007]

ranchibi,  Sadly I do not have anyone nearby that I could ship the airgun to directly from Crosman that would not be more than a 2 hour drive each way.  For that length of drive I could just dive up to NewEngland Airgun in MA, but obviously not at the Crosman direct price.

Then there is the option to have the Crosman Maximus Hunter shipped directly to my local gun shop that has a Federal Firearm License (FFL) (just a 45 min drive each way).  I believe Crosman said they would ship to an FFL holder.  I have two phone calls in to local FFL holders to see if they would be willing to do the 'transfer' and if I'd have to fill out a Federal 4473 (firearm purchase form) and also do a NCIC background check to keep the 4473 legal. 

What is really odd is there is no 'paperwork requirements' (yet) to purchase a black powder muzzle loader in this state (aka 'firearm" by RI law).  Anyone over 21 can just walk into any gunshop (some Wallmarts) and buy a 50cal muzzle stuffer and walk out with it, and it has a LOT more energy than any pellet gun.  The bad news is if this is screwed up logic is brought to their attention to show them how ridiculous their law on airguns is, they simply ban direct sales of muzzle loaders too!  RI is a truly beautiful state geographically, but politically it is a mess.

LOL, if this wasn't so "dang" stupid, it would laughable.

I realize it is an uphill battle to get this legislation resolved and people will probably just laugh at me and say it's been tried and can't be done.  That is exactly what they said when I took up the fight to get spearfishing for Tuna legalized!  Long story short, 2 1/2 years later and dozens of National Marine Fisheries Service meetings, some help from the spearfishing community and now my illustration is in a Federal document and it was legalized. 

Anything is possible, it's just a LOT of work.

Right now Crosman has the best price.
