restocking fee?

A restocking fee would be to return something I always thought.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Did he have them order it and then decide he didn't want it?  :dunno:

That doesn't seem correct .  I think part of the story might be missing. I've never heard of a store doing that
It is what you meant it to be...

I get what you are saying. It's messed up. Just another way to scam your friend with how things are going. Glad he left. I would have to.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

No way, now how....I do a lot of business with the wenatchee store and that is ludicrous!!  If indeed that happened you should pm Kelsey and get to the bottom of it.  I say there is a part of the story that is not being told, or there is an employee that needs to be fired.

i am saying what this guy in my fly club in m.l. told me.  i will have him retell it to me in 2 weeks when we meet again.  it sounds pretty wild to say the least.  i will try to get a name etc.    on another note i can say they are $40 to $100 more on pistols than tristate.  that is a fact as i have priced xd's and s and w.  also they did not donate to our elk banquet last year and this year.  tristate has been very supportive.  hope that changes so both can be involved.  i still ho to both looking for deals.    mike w

Like all stores.....there some good deals and some not so good.  I have noticed in wenatchee that they are taking in consigned guns and those prices have been really high.  Those are also negotiable with the original owner.  Kelsey..the owner is a member and hm is a sponsor so maybe he will have some insight and chime in on this post.
