That looks like real value for money Kyrie. And from previous postings I know you have had good experiences with Macon. But it is buyer beware with those guys and that is from personal experience, echoing what many others have found.

Very quickly, I correspond with a fellow hunting enthusiast in France. Last summer (July) he contracted to buy a specific rifle stock from Macon and sent them the money by PayPal. According to Macon, the requested rifle stock would be shipped within a week or two.

After 7 weeks of no tracking numbers and ever increasing difficulty getting what appeared to be a straight answer from Macon, in mid September Macon stopped replying to any contact from my friend.

In very late November he asked me to help, reasoning a North American might have better success in resolving the situation. After a month of using my best accounts receivable collection techniques I was able to get him his $275 back. In three different PayPal payments, each one requiring the full onslaught of phone calls and emails detailing previous explanations and commitments and making clear how those had not been lived up to. I received three entirely different excuses for why the stock had no been sent out! A lot of work for $275!

My take away was they thought they could just screw over a guy in France and there would be no recourse for the customer and no skin off their nose if they just kept the money.

I would only buy a product or service from them if the payment terms were on receipt of satisfactory goods. I would never send them up front money.


The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
