The bad (and the good) of Wholesale Sports

I loathe Calgary WSS but come the end of December, the boys from Russell Sports will be working the gun counter so we can expect some improvements. Thank f***.
 
The good thing about WSS is there's one in Saskatoon and as of Saturday morning I'm on my way there.:D

Lots of WSS bashing threads but I've always got decent service there.

Fingers crossed they have most of the stuff on my list.
If not there's a few gunshops between Whitehorse and Saskatoon to stop at.
 
wss has owend russels for a couple years now i think i dont like going to either wss or russels wss service is horendus and russels i hate the fact that the gun counter guys try and tell me what i want like i have no clue about guns i have shot almost every caliber up to 45 and out of every price range gun from bubbad mauser to customs if i go in whanting to look at a mossberg or stevens thats what i want to look at i dont need someone telling me that they are cheap and better of buying a tikka or sako if thats what i wanted thats what i would ask to see same thing happend the other day at bass pro whent in to look at a tc venture looking for a 270 or 7mm they did not have one could not even back order one the guy at the counter after waiting 10 min while 3 employees helped one guy finally got some service he said the marlin xl7 is almost identical so i looked at it then i asked if they had any mossberg rifles he said he would not show me one because in his opinion you would have to buy 2 because they are that bad that you would need one for parts but he was very eager to show me a tikka i did not whant to lookat i dont mind sales guys having opinions but when i go to the gun store i know what i want to look at by the way was looking for a beater rifle for riding in the truck i did not whant some thing fancy plan on geting a win mod 70 or a sako in a larger caliber just whanted something that i would get mad about if it got scathed i think that any of the rifles will kill a animal the same
 
I placed a order one time for some stuff think it was ammo cases and there were all on back order so i call a day or teo later i call back and cancel the order because sir had them in stock ready to ship no problems there 7 or 8 mounts later i get the ammo cases in the mail
 
I placed my order via telephone 2 weeks ago, provide all of the necessary info required, and the person taking my order says; "we'll get this right out to you" Thanks says I, and hang up.

Now, I'm thinking my order should be in my mail box in a few days.....silly me...

10 days after my order was placed, someone from wholesale sports leaves me phone message saying the item I ordered are not in stock and on backorder. He wants me to call him with further instructions.

Well, needless to say if I had called back at that moment, I'd told him that my first instuction would be for him to pull his head out of his ass. Grrrrr Wholesale sports! What a joke!

Dude, 2 keys right of the 'm' is a little thing called a period. It splits your string of words into a sentance. After one of those little dots, again called periods, hit the space bar twice.
Not a bad idea to hit the 'enter' button once in awhile so we can read this $hit without using a ruler to guide through the slush of strung together words.
Tomorrow we can talk about capital letters and their use.

While you're giving the grammar lesson, you may want to touch on spelling as well. Oh wait, that wasn't him :redface: ;).

Haha! I was just about to write the same sort of punctuation lesson but it seems you beat me to it.
