Frustrating experience

Damaged or defective merchandise is not a reason a chargeback will be accepted, regardless of who is at fault.

Yes, it is. You were sold what was supposed to be a functioning product that turned out to be defective, and the store isn't willingly to take responsibility. If that is not one of the better reasons for a chargeback, then I don't know what is. What kind of crappy credit card company do you have that doesn't allow chargebacks for defective products?
 
Update:

G4C called me and offered to lend me their demo unit until Trijicon processes the RMA.

And this is why it's a good idea to always post on a retailer's sub-forum when you feel all reasonable avenues have been exhausted, despite the legions of NPCs here crying about using a dealer's public forum to publicly contact them. Guarantee you that the only reason they called is because they saw this thread and knew they're in the wrong (i.e. damage control).

Devils advocate is this all happened within a three hour . So it’s possible they were just busy discussing it. They also mentioned it’s a first for them which I believe I sort of have a hard time believing other retailers would do the same so in the end I’m happy
 
The list of stores to deal with grows smaller again.
Thankfully I'm not obsessed with in person shopping.
Cross country mail order is the way to do business

Nice of you to give them the benefit of the doubt after dealing with that. They're good people from my interactions with them, not knocking them there, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that this thread is what ultimately pushed them in a more amenable direction. Seen it happen countless times on this forum; company screws over a customer and pretty much tells them tough sh*t, only to change their tune once their actions are made public. Had you stuck to private correspondence in person or via phone or email, I'm quite sure you would have gotten the same response as in-store.

They actually switched to a brand new one for me. All done and sorted. I’m thankful for them.
 
on other hand.... why would you try and scratch the cap ? they should have made it work before even giving it to you .

They come preinstalled with a battery, so It really should’ve been lit and working right out of the box. However, it was not and we did not realize the battery was already inside of it. The cap got scratched in the process of trying to install the new one.
 
Note to self - let the stores handle any install/opening/manipulating of a new item that I'm about to buy. If something happens it's on them. I can touch/fondle but don't change anything.

thats right. it took 4 pages of venting for them to exchange . should have done on the spot
 
As someone who has been screwed over by them I feel your pain. They falsely advertised an item and when it arrived I asked why it was different than their pictures and description. I would told the same thing "it's not our problem." I avoid them at all costs now.

Had this same thing happen with me from them. Lesson learned, flagged retailer for my future purchases.
 
The amount some of you guys are willing to take in the rear from retailers is genuinely shocking.

The problem is on him.

Why did he pay for the item in the first place, and why did he leave the store with the defective item?

I would have left it there, so NO problem.
