To make this theoretically easier, if you go to your local Chev dealer and make a deal on a new Silverado, and the price goes down a couple months later, do you think Chev will send you a cheque as a rebate? And if that's OK, let's say the price goes up a couple months later; can Chev send you a bill for the extra amount they think you should pay?
Or, as you have written, not having a "discount" immediately as per your entitlement, is your complaint?
And again, your other complaint is that Colt Canada ( a firearm manufacturer) didn't get you your free hats and shirts when you wanted them, is that it?
If those are your "customer service" complaints, then I'm thinking, well, you are out to lunch.
Okay I'm back for more punishment from the Koldtmeister, aka' relentless, as in "let it go man please"...
It still seems despite your many posts Koldt you still are not understanding what I'm attempting to express in my posts, so if you don't mind I'll use your rudimentary style of analogies in the hopes it makes it easier for you to comprehend.
So lets say Chevy offers some of their most valued and elite Staff a new hi-quality car built specifically for them to use and enjoy. After many years this special Staff car finally becomes available for purchase to these elite staffers and regular customers too. Many dedicated staffers do as they claimed they would and bought these new cars upon their release or shortly afterwards.
However not long after the release of these special staff cars Chevy offers a significant discount only available from that date forward to their elite staff members. Unfortunately to the dismay of all those elite staffers who had just previously purchased their new car, Chevy would not offer compensation equaling the staff discount that they had just missed out on.
So as I have written in a way that I hope you will understand Koldt, first it is not my intention to speak of the cost of these rifles as you state (although their was/is a significant price reduction now for these items), "strike one".
Also it was of no concern to me (since I was no longer eligible, not being a current Mil. member) to offer the Military/LEO discount immediately as I never stated anything to that point in my posts (although you would think that would be a logical first step when offering these rifles; especially since Colt Canada claimed our Mil./LEO members were the reason these fine rifles actually became available in the first place, along with the many rumours here on CGN relating to a Mil./LEO discount long before these rifles were offered to the public...), strike two.
I also think your assuming he wanted free swag. Many people want to buy CC products like hats and shirts.
Finally as CdnCombatMedic has stated your assumption on the request for free CC swag is also incorrect. No where in my posts did I ever speak to the offering of free accessories/clothing from CC, my only wish (like the many who had stated so on the now defunct CC thread) was to have these products made available for purchase as CC stated they would just like the release of further firearms in 2015, "strike three".
So while I do believe that Matt from CC in particular was professional and an upstanding player in all this, somewhere in the mix CC management or their distributor at the time "cough Korth cough" (or perhaps a combination) dropped the ball on delivering the Mil./LEO discount in a fair and professional manner and really didn't follow through on any other civilian sales (accessories or rifles...) as they had promised.
While I'm still a big fan of CC rifles, as I know first hand how well put together their C7 rifles are in particular. It was just the execution of their civilian sales (or lack there of) beyond these first #980 SA rifles that was not thought through as well as I would have expected from a business of this size and known product excellence.
I mean sure those in uniform must have their CC rifles and kit first (not to mention that's CC's bread and butter), but was their no thought to being able to maintain at least a trickle of new civilian rifle sales alongside these larger Mil./LEO contracts? Or even allowing the release of some accessories to hold over the faithful; isn't it likely they still could offer hats, shirts and decals etc. because they aren't likely to even be made in-house anyways?
Well here's to hoping a C8IUR 14.5" aka' "The Patrol" is in my near future (of course I may just break down and by a new SA20 before there all gone, like I said earlier, for sentimental, er' I mean semi-mental reasons)...
Cheers D
are we there yet???
