I've been waiting to post this story until I had my money back. Has anyone else experienced this?
In the begining of the March, I bought a used Sterlingworth 16 ga., 28", described as "AH Fox Sterlingworth 16ga 28” double trigger, extra straight grip. 50% case color, 98% blue wood finish and checkered side panels. Philadelphia Pa gun. Very clean very tight." Asked questions prior to purchase which confirmed the description. Payed the too high price on the hopes that this truly was such a clean gun. The gun arrived and while the CC and Blue were good, the barrels had a very dull ring, and there was a sliver of wood about 1.5" long and 1/8" wide missing from the side of the trigger guard next to the serial number. So back it went to CSMC.
The frustrating part of the story is that the gun arrived at CSMC on the 16th, it took them until the 22nd to credit my card, during which I called every other day and was told that accounting had my paperwork and was "processing it". The money did not post to my account until today. I have made many purchases and returns with credit cards and have never experienced such a delay, with either the seller or VISA. Has anyone else had this happen?
Overall I was unimpressed with their service, before, during, and after the sale. It sure as heck didnt take 6 days for them to take my money when I bought the gun. Beware! Hopefully this post will save someone else from this experience!
