A new $200 insurance delivery fee????????????

[rafterob]

Another indicator here. No one has CCI caps. CCI has even said they will not be available until this fall based on a report on this forum from a member that had talked to their rep at the NRA show.

Yes late summer to early fall

Just exhale, chill for a while until the supplies become normalized. Whole thing sounds too weird!

You say the company is legit??? Why are you holding back the name of the company then. I'm about 100% sure you have been scammed our of your cap cash.

I was wrong, dead wrong. I got taken big time for the caps, but not for the insurance fee. If I didn't know what I know now, I would probably do it again. The website was amazing. Fooled this old man

Just all kinds of red flags as already indicated.

You plan on buying a thing related to BP shooting and you are not familiar with the business or suspect they may be scamming...ALWAYS ASK HERE FIRST!

We have collected here probably the largest group of historical BP enthusiasts you are likely to ever find. Someone has the lowdown. We share information openly and are helpful to each other. This group knows where the good suppliers can be found.

I got scammed a couple of years ago by a site that looked absolutely like the companiy’s site. Payment was by credit card but flipped over to PayPal and i got scammed. I suspect you got a fake site for a legit company. I now only use a credit card for payment so I have recourse if the site is a scammer. No paypal, Zelle, Venmo.

Jump on your CC company and tell them the situation. They may refund you your purchase and get after the company.

So, are caps that hard to come by??

right now they can be difficult to find
CCI is supposed to do a run of caps this Summer some time and they should be available come early Fall.

I want to check with the gang here.
I ordered some CCI caps on line from a reputable large firearms company. The order and shipping was prepaid via Zelle and the order was sent yesterday with email of the tracking number.
Not having a specific delivery date, I plugged in the number and got the latest info: Order on hold until $200 is given to the shipper for refundable insurance. NO WAY am I going to pay even if it is refundable. I contacted the company I purchased the caps from and they said that this new $200 insurance charge was just added, like yesterday. I can't believe they would pull something like this and expect a customer to pay without having knowledge up front when the order is placed. OK here is my question: Have any of the USA members here had to deal with a $200 refundable delivery insurance? If it is a scam, it could be the delivery service, but I am 99% sure the company I purchase the caps from is legit. Not too sure of their customer service though.

I have never heard of such a thing. It certainly sounds like a scam to me.

 

[leadhoarder]

Sounds like those folks need to be tracked down then some caps need to get busted!

SCAM !

There at least two scam sites pretending to be Powder Valley, for instance. They are a great company, but the mimics look very similar.

No reputable company would not disclose a fee until AFTER the sale. None.

It's too bad that relatively small transactions don't justify the expense and hassle of a letter of credit. American business learned long ago that deadbeat, third world governments and businesses could only be dealt with this way.

To add to the problem, the biggest legit on-line sellers actually seem to use questionable paying methods as leverage against buyers. If you use a non approved method to purchase items they will not provide any protection and may even disable BUYERS accounts based on violations.

Almost every communication notice via one well known site bears this warning in bright red type:

"----------.com prohibits using Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal Friends and Family (PPFF), or any person-to-person cash payment application"

Seems scammers are of some use after all.

I contacted the Black Powder retailers listed in Muzzle Blast magazine yesterday to see if anyone had a decent price on 3f buy the case. Most of them have it in stock but the prices remain around $23 and up per lb. No discounts on bulk. The very best deal around is Powder Valley! In the past month it's been marked down to $19+change per lb. And yes I'm aware that's not great but it's the best around at this time.

For ones following this thread:

Omaha sent me links to the company and their shipping company last night. After searching through both websites, they are both a sham and WILL scam you.

I was given permission by the OP to pass out the following information.

Heads up on the following:

www.Hunter-Precision.com

http://global-logistic-shipping.com
Be warned! And spread the news. Don’t let yourself be scammed by the scum!!

I went to their website, a pop up asked me if I had a question. I said yes, I hear this is a scam site. ……..No response.

THIS is a new variation on the old Fake Website Scam. Thanks for sharing ; sorry you got taken.

What reputable firearms company has pay by Zelle?

If the seller does not offer credit card payment this is a major red flag.

Exactly!!!!

Before ordering from a site you've never used before check them out with the Better Business Bureau. This business does not have the blessing of the BBB:

Same issue as the other person. Days after the order the fake shipper calls and wants $300.00 more for shipping. It's a scam"

YES I'M YELLING!
NEVER EVER ORDER UNLESS YOU CAN SPEAK WITH A LIVE PERSON AT A REAL BUSINESS!


NEVER EVER ORDER UNLESS YOU HAVE ACTUAL ADDRESS AND THEY ARE ONE OF THE MAJOR SUPPLIERS!

NEVER EVER ORDER VIA PAYPAL,ZELLE, ECT.

I swear some of you shouldn't own guns!
