[b]DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE[/b]

A couple months ago, someone posted a link to this company. Could have been this board or one of the other gun boards, I don't remember. The message indicated a great deal on AK-74 mag pouch sets which included 8 mags, 2 pouches, 2 blank fire devices, 2 sets of strippers and guides.(1 set per pouch) 2 Cleaning kits $30.
Well it was indeed a good deal. I ordered and got some awesome mag sets. These things were in pristeen condition. Brand new right from the E German factory. They still had the E German shipping label sealed inside the bag. Here is a picture of what I got and I was more than happy.

Well as soon as I received these I immediately ordered 8 more sets(32 mags total). Well they came yesterday and they are complete shit for the most part. I got mostly used mags, many abused mags, rusted floor plates, beat up POS's, I'm betting one or two won't even feed. Rusted and missing strippers and guides in several of the sets. Missing blank firing devices etc... These were nothing like the first sets I got.
Here is an example of the ones I got yesterday:

So I called them today. I am willing to keep like 5 of the sets because they are usable, mags were in good shape and all the parts of the kits are there. Shipping them back would be expensive and they would still be a good deal at $15./pouch set.
So I get transfered around etc, explain what is going on and what I would like to do. That I have one set missing parts etc and how bad at least two of these are and that they are unacceptable. Basically I wanted to return 2 of the 8 for exchange or refund because they were so bad, and on 1 if they sent the parts I would keep it no problem. So total of 3 out of 8 I was really not satisfied with.
Well, I'm SOL because they are not willing to take a return. Lady tells me the ad and their website says NO RETURNS. Lady on the phone basically called me a liar becasue she did not believe that any sets would be missing the blank devices but she did know of a few that were missing strippers, so she would send me those. Yeah, thanks alot. I ordered from this page [url]http://www.northridgeinc.com/sp_mags.htm[/url] Somebody please point out to me where it says no returns here. I back tracked and when you first enter the site and click on bargains it does say no returns but I ordered from a direct link. So I never saw this. In any case, I think it is total BS and not good business. That and the fact that I got great stuff the first time and mostly crap the second time. Why is that?? So, they have lost a customer and I am posting this on every BBS that I post on.
The worst thing is, I directed many people to Northridge to get these sets based on my first experience. Now I might have got somebody to order some total shit, which I feel bad about. I try not to steer people the wrong direction, but it appears in this case, I did. I apologize for that.
EDIT FOR THE JACKASS BELOW HOMO ERECTUM!!!!
