 Dick's Sporting Goods Not Honoring Rifle Orders 01/02/13

       
From Biz Pac Review:
 

In a move that potentially may spark a class action lawsuit, Dick’s Sporting Goods is refusing to fill orders for guns that were paid for weeks ago.
Russell Kellner of Flower Mound, Texas said he and his wife bought three Troy Defense Carbine Semi-Automatic Rifles on Black Friday at a cost of $799 each, a $300 dollar discount.
 
“It was a heck of a deal,” said Kellner. They received two of them, but were then notified by Dick’s on Christmas Eve, that no more orders would be fulfilled.
Dick’s announced a week before Christmas it was suspending sales of modern sporting rifles in all stores, out of respect for the victims of the Connecticut massacre.
 
The store has issued refunds and added a $100

gift card for the inconvenience, but Troy Blackall, who paid for two of the Troy Carbines at Dick’s and only received one says, “It’s unacceptable.”
“The guns have doubled and tripled in price now. So it’s not like we can get our money back and buy the guns someplace else,” Blackall said. If prices have really doubled and tripled since the Connecticut massacre then this scenario seems more plausible.
 

• They didn't want to sell the products at such a low price when they know holding out will yield them higher sales.

Craig commented:

They just ensured that they will never get another penny from me or my family.

I've always been hesitant about shopping at a store that admitted they were "Dicks".
 
I went to one...once. I was right.

I seen this a while back. Really sucks, but the customer will loose in court(my bet) They got their money and some to boot. Dicks Bass pro and Wally world all got the same letter telling them to pull the guns and stop selling them. If that is fact, the customer has nothing to stand on.
