I’d request a quote first. You know the saying about assuming.
My fathers bolt handle on his browning silver flew off during a hunt and after talking to Browning Canada, they said they weren’t allowed to sell directly to public but recommended Reliable. We were happy with that as we’ve been long time customers.
Browning said the MSRP was $21.99. A quick phone call to Reliable and they had part number and would order it no problem.
It took 3-4 weeks to come in, and our dad drove into Vancouver to grab. He didn’t know what it should cost as we ordered it for him and he paid. I noticed the receipt when I went to install later and was shocked.
74.99!
A quick phone call the next day as surely there was a mistake. Was told, “That’s the correct price and At that price Reliable was loosing money.”
Marinated on that statement a few days and sent an email. They looked into it and they said that Browning charged 25$ for shipping. So that would be 25 msrp + 25 shipping + (25 for Reliable). Even though the MSRP browning stated was 21.99.
My brother phoned Browning, and they were actually livid Reliable charged us that amount. Like I said. Don’t assume, get it in writing I suppose. They said they were gonna follow up with Browning why they charged 25$ but that was 2 months ago and no word back from reliable.
For reference you can buy online any after market alternatives for low 20s. Much better route.
Apparently it costs $25 to ship this quarter sized piece of mail by snail mail.
