I have paid the shipping back to the Manufacturer on every gun I have sent back with the exception of Smith and Wesson. I have sent quite a few back and this is somewhat of a sore spot with me.

Para: I have had to pay shipping there, and they paid return shipping. The problem of course is their incompetant asses could not fix anything so I could occasionally, raise enough hell to get a call tag.
Colt: I had to pay shipping there. If it was their fault/problem they would reimburse shipping, and pay for shipping back. They weren't very damn competant either, which was surprising seeing how much they lost on shipping there and back. I believe Colt has the right idea, which should inspire consumer confidence. Willingness to pay shipping on their mistake shows they don't anticipate many and are committed to making it right. |

Manufacturer
I've only sent one back. It was to S&W and they paid, and it came back working perfect and looking better than when I sent it. It took 4+ months though. |

I paid to ship my XD to Springfield Armory and they sent it back to me. By the way, they have superlative customer service.

Kel Tec: They reimburse for the first trip. You usually pay afterward.
Taurus: You're kidding, right? Mossberg: Long time ago, but I'm pretty sure I paid to ship. NAA, Kahr, all others: I paid to ship. S&W sends a prepaid shipping label. Usually returns the gun in 2-3 weeks.

The only gun I've ever had to send back to the manufacturer, was a Glock. I saw it had an "update" so I contacted them, and I paid shipping to them. They did the update, and paid return shipping.
The Glock came back looking perfect, but it had FTF problems after that. It had to be returned two more times to them, and they paid shipping each time. Finally they made it work properly. |

I don't see it as a big deal if I have pay for shipping to send a firearm back. If you have to return something you bought from the store, is the store going to reimburse you for gas?

The mfg of course. It's all in how you start out the conversation. You have to ask for a call tag righ off the bat so they know that you want them to pay for it. They may say, just ship it and send us the receipt and we'll write you a check. Just say no that is too complicated and just send a call tag. If they say we don't send tags, then tell them to give you their shipper number and you will have it billed t them. Sorry it's their shoddy workmanship that is the reason you havfe to send it back in the first place. Make them pay 100%.

Send the same gun back a few times from Alaska and tell me the shipping is no big deal.

I recently sent my Colt back in Warranty and they paid freight both ways. I paid it and included the receipt and they gladly reimbursed the charges. Colt did very well by me!

I was called "unreasonable" when I thought the same thing on that POS Lusa I won at FAL Files. And since I won it in a raffle, I should pony up and pay shipping. As if that made any difference in culpability in my eyes. Havent seen many of them around. Rarely do I wish bad on others, and rarely do I gloat at others misfortune, but after some of the emails I got from Jerry Prasser, I hope they lost their collective asses on that pos. I am sorry Stan got involved in it though. |

Whenever you send a pistol back, try to use the manufacturers box AND keep the magazine slot(s) empty. The manufacturer may fill those slots with brand new factory mags making the $25 shipping fee worth your while!
One manufacturer did that for me but I won't say which one. |

I paid shipping to ship my CZ97 back to have them work the gun to reliably feed hollowpoints. Worth every penny.
CZ customer service is really good. |

Wow, sorry to hear about your experience with S&W.
I've had to send guns to S&W, Taurus, Century, and Colt, and in every transaction, they have either sent me a slip to send in the gun, or I was given an account number to put onto the paperwork. Except for Century, with them I had to pay first and get the money back later. |

No big deal, huh? Well, do you usually have to pay $40 in gas to return the purchase to the store? If you did have to pay that sum and the store sold merchandise that required periodic returns, do you think people would keep shopping there? How about when you pay $40 in gas for your return of that defective suit, and they "fix" it for you, only to discover that the "fix" didn't address any problems? How about when they "fix" it twice? That's $120 in "gas" over their incompetance. This is why those who take it back on their dime are more inclined to fix it properly the first time. And don't think this incompetant fix business is an anomaly. It happens often enough. |

Most of the time, I've paid shipping there, they've paid shipping back.
I have, however, had S&W send me a prepaid shipping label and they've paid both ways. |

I paid nearly $40 to ship my G23 back to Glock two years ago, and they paid the shipping back the other way.

Depends on the company. Springfield did it the right way for me and paid for shipping both ways. Thats the way it SHOULD work!
