I need a little help from you guys. My wife bought me a HS2000 for Christmas, a private sale from a guy on hs2000talk.com. He has over 200-something posts over there.
The seller received payment and a copy of my dealer's FFL and COE, and he was supposed to have shipped it last Friday, Dec 21. I talked to my dealer yesterday and he hasn't received it. It was supposed to be shipped from Vacaville, CA to my dealer's address in Oceanside, CA and according to my dealer, shipping from NorCal to SoCal should be 2-3 days max. It has now been 8 days, less Christmas and Sunday, so make that 6 business days.
The seller has not responded to emails or messages left on his voice mail since yesterday. We have his name, address, and phone number. I tend to think maybe he took a Christmas vacation but my wife is freaking out thinking we got ripped off. It's the first time she ever bought me a gun, and she doesn't have warm and fuzzies about this at all.
Another thing I should add is that the seller said he was going to ship it through The Shooting Gallery in Vacaville, even though he was told he could ship it directly to a FFL for in-state transfer. My wife called The Shooting Gallery this morning and the guy said he knew the seller but he hadn't shipped anything for him.
How much longer would you guys wait and what would you do at this point? I'd get a tracking number if the guy ever returns calls or emails. Thanks in advance.
