I don't know you so I will be nice on this. You apparently did not read beyond the first page. I think that Dave was completely in the wrong how he went about this. If you ask around there are far more happy customers from Marstar then Unhappy, that is for a reason, and some people you can never make happy. I have a revolver at Marstar for a Warranty replacement and have had no problems what so ever with Marstar. If you pick up the phone and call it may take a few rings but you will get a polite person on the other end that tells you everything you want to know about what is up with your issue. John actually asked me to send my revolver back due to defect after I asked if the peeling Nickel was normal. This might seem like a stupid question to someone until I say I have never owned a nickel plated anything and didn't want to freak if it was some protective coating (see what I mean). Marstar is a very busy business for a reason, they treat their customers very well and they are about the only firearms business in Canada (Maybe not the only, but the only I know of) that warranty's what they sell for any reason. Good luck getting that most other places. Now I don't usually troop the colours for a business however when you are treated as fairly by Marstar as I have you earn respect and loyalty. Where I come from that means something. So you are entitled to your opinion but I have no problem recomending Marstar and that is not something I do lightly.
I'm proud to say I've dealt with SFRC (The ammo source) and my experience with them is phenomenal. I not saying Marstar are not, but it only take one bad experience that's why I like this kinda threads because it give me an overview of the company I'm about to deal with.
Also don't flame on me, the reason I said I think twice before buying from them (which is my personal opinion) I like to google review on a company before buying with them. It just happen Dave's ranting kind of support what I read on google review word for word that's why I gave him a credit. And it's up to me If I want to believe him or not.
If you want to take the word of somebody that proved himself to (shall we say) stretch the truth quite a bit then that is your right of course. However in reviews, especially on-line, people always ##### about a company. Most people that get a smooth transaction don't write a review. So I would take that with a grain of salt. I was not flaming you and I wrote that I was being nice at the beginning of my post. I saw that you had 10ish posts and were relatively new here. A better way of approaching this would to have started your own thread and posed the question to the board, what is your Marstar experience? Then you would get some opinions based on current experience. I think we have hijacked this topic enough. I just wanted you to understand that I was not flaming you if had been it would have been direct not casual, I was helping out in what I saw to be an unfair judgment based on one page of a whiners complaint. There are better ways to find out what a company is like. Daves problem could have been solved with a 10 min phone call. That he refused to do after it was suggested no less then 5 times within a day of his post. Some people prefer drama.I understand that phone is one of the best options but as I already said - it is not my option.
I received emails from Marstar before and my spam filter is properly tuned. I also know that Marsatar was previously able to get my emails and I assume that it is very unlikely to have all my three emails destroyed by filter unless my email address is set as "spam".
To John - you NEVER replied on any of my emails with confirmation. NEVER! Only now, on forum you finally were kind enough to spare the word and actually confirm my order.
I don't need you to say anything other than just maintain business-like communication. Just two words of confirmation was needed and to get them I had to email three times, wait for a week and finally make a post it on a forum!
Way to go John, way to go.
I have to give R1-Dave a credit for bringing this up this thread. This will protect the consumers from headaches when dealing with online suppliers. I have'nt dealt with Marstar , I'm sure they are a good company but I will definitely think twice before buying something from them.
