was looking for winchester AA 12 guage shells ... had a bugger of a time finding them then came across labaron sports. What a horrible experience.

Phoned online order number 1 800 567 3377(which is based out of quebec) and ask if they have Winchester AA 12 gauge in stock. Lady says I have to call 514 381 4584 and ask for ammo, and that she only takes orders. So call that number several times and its busy. So call the 1 800 number again and and explain I want to order something and 514 number was busy. She says its not busy now ... she can tell ... so call 514 again and get thru and they only have 2 boxes left. I ask the lady if can order from her or if i have to call the 1 800 ... she says I will transfer you. (why didnt the twit at the order desk transfer me instead of telling me I had to phone??)

OK .. so she transfers me and place order. Then lady at order desk tells me only canpar is allowed to ship ammo ... no one else ... I say canpar is fine but other companies can ship ammo. She tells me "only canpar can ship ammo .. no one else" (what ever .. who cares just ship it .. use grandma on a mule for all I care).

Lady then asks for my address as on my pal so I give it to her.. which is PO box and a legal site description (for I live in rural SK). I then tell I want to give the shipping address (which is local business in the town nearby). She says they can only ship to the address on my pal and this was law. I explained that I have bought ammo from ontario and alberta and they shipped to the business for me. She says they cant do that. I ask why and she sayes it is law .. they can only ship to address on pal. OK ... remembering this is quebec (and have some weird rules) and think this may just be. So I get the number for quebec CFO (which is called something else) and give them a call and explain the situation and they say it is OK to have the ammo shipped to a different address, for couriers wont deliver to my property.

Thinking the lady doesnt know the law I call her back and ask if they cant ship to different address because of law or store policy. She saids its law!! I explain to her I called quebec cfo and he said it is OK. I ask if she wants the number to check and say no ... its store policy then ... and cancelled my order.

WTF is up with this. Brainless twits ... how do they stay in business!!
 
You tried the impossible -ordering by telephone from their head office.

I've heard that Lebaron translated means "in the catalogue but out of stock".

Having said that I've had good and great deals there on clothing, ammo and fishing equipment. Just have to be close enough to the store to drop in and don't depend on it. Their regular prices are pretty reasonable vs. Bass Pro or Sail.

It's like that in the Ottawa store too, every time I go there I end up leaving with nothing that I came for. I honestly don't know why I waste the time driving there... yet I keep doing it... lol
 
The thing about le Baron is that they still operate like they operated in 1975. Very technologically backward.

Tons of Win AA Flats (250rds) sitting in the Mississauga store and that's the best place to get it if you're going to shop le Baron. On line or mail order? Probably best to look elsewhere.
 
I tried to order a case of 7.62X39 stuff from them and got the same run around. They also could not give me even an estimate as to what shipping would cost. She said it could be $20 or $100, she had no idea.

I figured, if it ended up in the middle id be fine with that. So proceeded to place the order. My address is also a PO box but I have everything shipped to my office. Lots of ammo has come through here over the past few months. She said, NOPE... PAL address only. (whatever that means).

So I just hung up. Hard to sell stuff when you wont sell it to people who want to buy it.

WTF?? My PAL does not have my address on it.

He meant the address associated with his PAL.

However that makes no sense at all unless they have a way of getting that info from the CFC and cross reference it with the shipping address to see if they match. But why? There is no legal requirement for that as far as I know.

yes .. thats what i mean .. thanks
 
Just call the CFO and have the other address added to your profile as a shipping address.Nothing I order gets sent to my house.Everything goes to a UPS store mailbox that I keep just for parcels.Always someone there to sign for the package and no guns left on my doorstep.
 
You are in Sk so why not get it here. I see that ammo every time im at cabelas. Was at wholesale sports and they had it as well.

Just placed an online order with WSS a week ago .. should be here pretty quick .... and they only had 410 in win AA ... thats why!! Also checked cabelsa's website and nothing!!

Like I said .. live rural .. shipping is beans compared to driving 3 hours one way .. which is the closed cabelas or WSS. And wasnt planning any recents to those places. My work is away from home .. and sure I make there once in while but been up in Fort Mac for awhile!!

But good to know .. thanks .. will check them them when in near
 
the reason I posted is that I found my experience quite bizzard.. the twit on the phone seemed very hostile and anti ... was wondering if others experienced the same .. and it seems I'm not the only one ... I will continue with other vendors who want to provide a sevice like SFRC and WSS for ammo .. when shopping online.

cheers
