LOL awesome harbl. I wrote a couple letters to my mp and van loan, urging my mp to support 301, and also condemning ANY reclassification of firearms.

It does make you feel better. I recommend it to all gunnutz, especially those waiting on gun shipments with a lot of pent up frustrations.
 
It is all about principle

If any of you are that hard up for $895 or the interest on it maybe you should review your financial priorities. Any reputable credit card company will refund your money with minimal hassle. CanAm didn't plan this. Relax, this business is not the same as anything else.

The amount of money has nothing to do with it. it is principle. My money should be in my pocket; up until goods are about to exchange hands.
 
I think Can-am has an opportunity here to build some good customer relations.
Hows this!!

Refund everyone their money, except their deposit. When the guns come in, charge us then and ship the rifles within two-weeks.
You will have customers for life.


Original idea!! Not! every other company doesn't bill until rifles are in their shop!!
If you do this, I will sing you praises and buy from you going forward.

No response to this suggestion?
 
We have received zero comms from CBSA or the RCMP. There is nothing to report. Sorry if you don't like it. Imagine how I feel.

That is all it takes Thank you.
have bought before will again just want to hear that someone is there.Even the calmest minds get out of whack when there is silence from one end
 
I have complete faith in Canam, I have dealt with them many times in the past & have always been pleased. The problems arising are not his fault. He is bringing in great products not available previously, Like a non restricted bullpup, 12" shottys etc, Give the guy a break & wait for your gun, Like i am.
 
The two thread under Can-ams forum got deleted last night after I complained about their poor service and the fact they billed my credit card for a rifle they didn't even have in their store.

I also pointed out that why we wait and some of us pay 21% on our credit cards for a rifle we don't even have. They are making interest on our money somewhere in the 4% range. Or as I estimate it $3000 month (based on a 1000 gun order)
Bottom line is they should never of charged us for a item we don't have. I can only assume what will happen if this type-97 order doesn't get released.

My fast math for everyone concerned about the CC interest on their purchase... rounding things off at $1000 / rifle, at 21% interest annual charge on your credit card = $210 in interest over the period of a year, if you don't pay anything but the interest charges. $210 over the period of a year equals 57cents /day.

Now again based on $1000 per charge, most CC companies charge the Vendor 3.5% service fees. That said, Canada Ammo lose $35 of the retail price per T97 transaction. Without getting into way too many detailed calculations of the ups and downs, it'd take 61 days of credit card interest on the unpaid balance to equal the CC service fees to Canada Ammo. Bottom line, they ain't making thousands in interest fees on your money.

I can't comment on everyone's financial situation, but if you pay your credit card balance off each statement period, there's no outstanding balance interest charges...

Just my 2 cents anyways...or 0.00002% interest over the period of one year on a $1000 purchase amount...

So what? This is a moot point given that this cost ($35) would have been factored into the cost of the rifle. We are paying $849. From that CanAm would have factored the actual cost of the rifle, their taxes, shipping, other costs and profit. The point is, it doesn't matter than CanAm pays 3.5% - it is already part of the equation.

But thanks for pointing out that we are now paying $17.50 per month waiting for the rifles to be released. :)

Truth be told, it is not about the money (it never should have been - if you couldn't afford the rifle, you shouldn't have bought it). It's about the frustration.
 
This guy is right!

Maetsack You are right. i support every comment you have made so far. How come nobody else gets it?
 
I still believe there's going to be several more unexpected speedbumps prior to the delivery of the T's.... I'll guess sometime in June...

And I don't think that "we" are all paying $17.50... only those who decide to carry the balance of their 97 purchase on a piece of plastic...
 
What else can there be? I mean, how long can the RCMP and Customs dither for? That seems very unfair and unreasonable for CanAm since customs charges a holding fee don't they?
 
I'm certain we'll hear updates in the days to come... Hopefully it'll be as simple as CBSA releasing the shipment... If not, I'm confident that Canada Ammo will be able to sort out any issues, and secure the release... it's all just a matter of time... My money into this rifle is already off my radar... when the 97 arrives, it'll be like Christmas...
 
They are not coming...is it only me or doesnt any one else see it ,they dont want us to have them.its not hard too see they are looking for any reason to refuse them if not we would have gotten them alredy.
 
CC charge

As a common sense and normal bussiness practice is , you charge CC only when you have goods at your hands and ready to ship... It sounds weird to me too... :-(((
 
I feel bad for all of you, but just think of how much gray hair canam and marstar (cz/vz 58/858 fiasco) are getting from this. It's their livelyhood, not just a hobby. I'm sorta glad I didn't order, I'm a pacer when it comes to waiting for guns...
