UPDATE
Ok, for those that care or remember I bought a Bushnell Trophy MP from Opticsplanet back in March. I've still yet to see one that works. Or anything actually.
Quick recap: Got the scope, reticle was crooked as a politician, I got a return number and sent it back. 6 weeks later (they said wait 4-6 weeks) I call them to see how my scope was doing only to be told they never got it (this was after having to make several calls to get them to send me a return label, as this was a factory defect they wanted me to pay postage both ways!). After giving them the tracking # and telling them who signed for it, they admitted getting it on March 18th and offered to replace my now vanished scope with a new one. In mid-June. As it was April at the time, I was not pleased, so they offered me a choice of the other Bushnell products, none of which I really wanted.
Some time passes, I keep calling to find out if the Trophy MP is going to come any sooner, so they agree to send me a Holosight instead, but it has to be the camo one as the black isn't going to be in stock till mid-June. Fairly happy with this upgrade, I agree and wait patiently. Then I call a bit later, get told to wait two more weeks and do so.
So, I call this Monday to find out what's going on. Turns out the BLACK model is in stock (the one I wanted) but the camo isn't, but they didn't bother to send one out to me, just left me hanging. They "remedy" this, change my order to the black one and tell me it will be right out. I ask for a tracking # (I'm learning!) to be emailed to me, as I am less than confident Bushnell will do a damn thing for me at this point. So, I'm calling today (two days later, after being told it was shipping that day, specially expedited due to my long, long wait) and getting no answer. No email, no tracking #, nothing.
WORSE YET, I bought a Tasco Pro-Point to slap on my Bubba SKS's Molot rail for shits and giggles (I've got a Romak PSO on the way for that Slav-Bubba look) and what do I find in the sodding box? A FUCKING BUSHNELL WARRANTY CARD. Yeah, I'm so dumb I didn't realise Tasco was a Bushnell brand. Yay.
Q) How happy am I?
A) Not very. Better than I was. Apparently if you call enough times, they actually ship something. According to UPS and Bushnell, there is a Holosight that will be delivered to me tomorrow. What's the betting it's faulty? :) |
So basically I'm getting a better sight (theoretically) than I paid for and when she called me back today after forgetting to call me back yesterday, she is also sending me a Bushnell rain jacket. BUT, I had to piss and moan since mid-March to get anything done. I have called Bushnell at least 20 times. I have been lied to, had smoke blown up my ass and generally ignored until I called again. Send anything in at your own risk and call, call, call, call, call. If they say 4-6 weeks call every week and follow it up, or it will vanish into the morass and you'll be left hanging.
