Yes it showed up in not the best condition. But we must make lemonade out of lemons.

Anyway... ive leaned my lesson and now have more experience at fixing things.

Overall pretty Happy with results.
 
I am always happy with titebond III. But I would have send it back to Tenda, sometimes they act jerky that's why I won't order from them.

Excellent work but if I order "mint condition", I have no intention of doing craftswork.

I asked to return it and they said no dice. UPS claim is all they offered. Said it can take several months for the claim to be processed (ongoing). I was pretty pissed but they wouldn't budge. Good to know they are consistent on there return policy if they replaced others... P.S. no place on their website do they explain what the coverage is for the insurance you purchase at checkout. At least i couldn't find it.

Not only this, they refuse to take anything back from my experience.

I ordered 5 Chinese SKS from them last year, 2 were total garbage, not firing with rust and pitting on the receiver and rusted gas tube. 2 were okay but still needed my belt sander treatment ,and reblu only one was fine.Took me many hours to get them working, Tenda does not care even if is not an insurance claim. They just won't.

Pretty sure yours was already damaged before UPS even got it.

They even have the arrogance to sell them as mint now. I don't believe anything.
 
I ordered one over a week ago bought and paid for, with the "free shipping" waited 5 business days with no updates so I called to see what's up only to get the BS UPS doesn't ship to your area and it will cost $26 to go with canadapost. I said cancel it and I hope the $26 was worth losing a customer by not honoring the free shipping you offered lol..

And yes UPS services my area as well as fedex DHL canpar and the rest of them.

I had the same experience except I paid the canada post fee.. and then I received it with the barrel poking out of the box.. crown clearly took a hit and scraped up during transit. Asked for an exchange and also a no go. We will see how an insurance claim plays out...

World's best Lemonade

40 oz London Dry Gin

4 oz Lemon Juice

2 ea sliced GREEN LEMONS

Sweeten to taste if that's your preference

Put in the fridge to cool.

Take it out of the Fridge and add Perrier or your favorite carbonated water, which was also in the fridge, or just add cold water appx 80 oz to the mix. Some of the Buble carbonated drinks work as well.

For a really nice pick me up type of Lemonade for this time of year or after any snowfall, add 2/3 volume boiling water instead and blend in a bit of Brown Sugar, with Cinammon or Nutmeg depending on your preferences. It's not the same as a decent Rum Toddy but it's actually very nice and the ladies seem to like it as well.

How much did they charge you for that abortion?

I quit buying anything from Tenda a long time ago.

If you look at their site, the price is posted at $449 and there is a notation below describing the condition of their present offerings.

They make a specific notation that there won't be any broken stocks, cracked stocks or rust and the rifles on sale will be in excellent condition.
