Thought I'd mention that yesterday I got my order from Brownells.  Just a small order which included some targets.  Problem was, the targets were the wrong ones.  Not a big deal as I can still use what they shipped.  This morning I got to thinking...insert evil laugh here...anyway, I wondered where the order went south.  The order number was correct on my paperwork.  So, I call.  Customer service guy does some checking and finds out their webpage is stating the wrong number for that target.  He tells me to keep the targets and they'll send out the correct targets.  I tell him that's not necessary as I can use the other targets, and that the reason for the call wasn't to complain, only to find out where the error was.  (I'm getting a little long in the tooth and just figured it was my error.)  He tells me he couldn't NOT send them since discovering the error, it's their policy.  I quit arguing the fact.

Nice to know some businesses know the real meaning of customer service.  Way to go Brownells.

Yep, Brownells does buisness the way everyone else should.  Been buying there for years and completely understand why their buisness grows when most are not.......they treat customers right.

I've never had a mistake on any of my orders, but it's good to hear that I'll be taken care of if there ever is one.

Galloway Precision could learn a thing or two from Brownells' policy...

Brownells - always my first choice and it's because of a similar experience years back.  Service second to none!

I like ordering from them and their thick ass catalogs are fun to look through.   Glad they are here in Iowa.

Having Brownells and Midway USA so close means everything gets to your door the day after you order.

Love buying from them. Got a scout light and mount that didn't own out and I'm sending it back. I always try to check them out before going elsewhere.

my dumb ass forgot to order a gas tube roll pin for a build I did.  So's I calls 'em up and 'splain my sitch.  They sent me a 3 pack completely free.  Hell yeah Brownells.

I drove there in person from Marion this year cause I wanted to save on shipping plus I was impatient and the front desk lady was super nice and even tried to get ahold of Pete so I could meet him in person but he was bush at the time. A+ for trying.

I've spent many thousands of dollars there over the years, and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon
Brownells has been awesome about supporting our Cowboy Action Shoots and out Zombie shoots that we hold, I cant thank them enough for all the door prizes they have gave us to give away to our shooters.
Great people.

Whenever I find something I want to by somewhere else I go to Brownells to see if they have it, and buy it from them if they do.  I love that place.

No issues with them at all, ever.  Glad to hear they hire good folks for customer service.  A+ business.

My only complaint is the back order / first notice policy.... I now understand it but I'm not sure it makes sense....

On my note of returns. I made their form fillable for those who have poor handwriting skills. This way they can read what you are sending easier.

A+.

i will be driving by there in a few weeks, i could not find the open times for the actual store....
Do they have an actual walk up counter or storefront for in person sales?

its a counter and its kind of an interesting experience because they only take online orders, but they can do it will-call.  So if you dont order before you go in, they have a paperback catalog, and a few computers with their website up ready for you to place your order.  then they just go grab it and hand it to you.  Oh and there's a 2% walk-in discount as well.

I got to a chance to spend some time at the rally talking with some of their techs who I've worked with over the phone and email. Great bunch of guys. Didn't get a chance to meet Monty. He let me exchange a .22 conversion kit when I didn't even purchase it originally from Brownells. Now who does that? Needless to say I went back several times over.
