Ordered 24 April
Payment processed 29 April
Transfer sent 15 May
Shipped 23 May.
Just wait a little longer... just wait a little longer... just wait a little longer. (My new mantra)
 
Guilty as charged, I am old and actually bald, so I guess my head is shaped like a D!(k, and really do like Canam for giving us the chance at these deals! giving my head a shake ,,,hurts and makes me dizzy, so, no! I think most members here just respect and appreciate the work that goes into getting deals like this and don't appreciate people bad mouthing the companies that we deal with on a regular basis! perhaps nowadays that is called d!(kriding I don't know, but I don't think waiting 4-6 weeks and having the payment taken out a couple weeks before the CFO gets the transfer request is a big deal,maybe with age we get more patient. Nope, that's not it cause the older I get, the quicker I tend to get pissed off, but generally for a good reason!
 
...so I got an email saying my order was cancelled as per customer request or the funds weren't received within 7 days, even though my payment went trough 2 days after I placed my order(almost 1 month ago)...any one else have this problem ?

call them,they will straighten it out! Call now! before I buy your gun.;0)
 
Finally received mine and it is in good condition. Grips were cracked but not a big deal they were immediately swapped. Cleaning was actually quite easy.

A side note regarding Canpar. We have all heard stories about them leaving it on people's porches etc. Well I missed the delivery yesterday (even though someone was home). So I called and told them not to try a second attempt I would just come and pick it up. I was told I could show up between 2-5pm, well I got there around 1230 and sent my girl friend in just to ask if I could pick it up early, they asked her my name and postal code and handed it over to her. No signature, no ID, no nothing, I was a little shocked to see her walking out with my parcels. Oh well it's home safe and sound.

Thanks CanAM. Great deal, thinking about a second.

sounds good except for the grips, but like you said no big deal.


oh can par, sometimes your people give me the evil eye and remind me "its illegal to hunt with that .45" (referring to ammo box that was "accidentally" half opened out of whatever cardboard box it was in)

usually its just a wink and a "i know what these heavy ones are"

I remember the norinco 223 crate deal.... guy was like "what the f&*k are you people buying????!! my back is killing me man!"

"peanut butter cookies my good man, just like it says on the box"
 
Good to hear CanAm may have adjusted their payment/order processing to be inline with most online retailers.

On my first post mentioning the disconnect it started with Attaboys for working Sunday (credit where credit is due) and oh sh!ts for where that's due.

Yes CanAm has to get payment before initiating transfer, for mine it took 19 calendar days/13 business days which is beyond normal. A week is expected, two weeks pushing it, three weeks beyond norm and needs to be addressed.

Before I get flamed for being impatient and need to WAIT the fact is I'm not even unpacking mine. I posted on this thread half and hour after the OP but took my time to order as I was in no hurry. My comment was hopefully useful advice for CanAm. I've meet Chris at the BC CGN gathering, with a beer in hand he seems to be a good business man that listens so the unsolicited advice was given and hopefully appreciated.

I've said my piece and will let it rest, please don't start a flaming or pissing war, TIA.

I don't think I'm old @40. Or am I. I have noticed the new younger generation to contain a strong 'give me' culture. I suppose I was the same way 20 years ago. 20 years of working, studying, raising a family, having responsibilities, all of which are higher on my priority list over this pistol, probably help with keeping proper perspective.

Burnaby has a point though, and I'm not flaming him. However, keep in mind Canada Ammo can't submit to the CFO without taking payment. There needs to be a commitment from the buyer before they do. Therefore it's not like any other online/Internet retailer where they charge when they ship. Therefore the disconnect that I can agree with is the time to get the transfer started after payment. Which is a resource/HR issue it appears.

I ordered on the 26th, payment taken on May 6, no transfer started as of yet as far as I know. But I still really don't care, but can certainly understand the point Burnaby is making.

However, it appears CanAm is listening to you Burnaby! I ordered an NP34 on 4/18. No movement on that at all, including no payment taken. Nice of them not to take payment during that time :p

ANYONE in BC score their order yet?



I ordered on the 23rd and am sitting at: "Transfer Started, Waiting for approval".



And 'No', I'm not complaining. I'm just curious if the BC_CFO is through any yet.
 
Ticketed,
Ordered April 24th,informed April 26th I mistyped card number(my bad),May 6th to CFO and shipped May 16th,attempted delivery Friday 17th(not home),picked up May 21st from depot,would have been sooner but long weekend

A restricted bought from store a week earlier I only got the paperwork yesterday afternoon after repeated attempt at calling the CFO to find out what was happening...it seems the orders aren't handled in the order they show up in.Good news is work site 2 blocks from store so it's home safe now :D
