Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Make sure you make the most of the minimum shipping charge.

I don't have a problem with it, MUK is usually the first place I l look for something.

Placed an order this afternoon for one item which I couldn't get elsewhere, and two, which may have been cheaper direct from the States but will at least probably be here before the end of the week.

True, PJ may have to order some parts from MUSA but the longest I have evere waited is about ten days.

I use them as a dealer and have to say they are the last resort!
Too expensive and slow delivery causes me grief from my customers.

I used them before Xmas for a shotshell reloader and other bits and had my stuff in about 7 working days, they were also cheapest for what I wanted but I've only used them the once.

The only time I bought something from them they were huge arseholes and I vowed never to buy from them again. I suggest you support businesses that treat customers well.

Had no problem getting some Nosler bullets to try, took about 10 days and apart from the horrendous prices over here no complaints.

Just looked at getting a Hornady LNL AP press and extra bits from them, comes to about £650, I could get a flight from Manchester, fly over and collect it all slightly cheaper than that!.

Order 5 things and expect to get 3 at best. Don't expect to be told why the order wasn't fulfilled nor be treated with respect> Expect to pay over the odds - pay a fair price just doesn't compute with them.

I'd have to be god awful desperate to buy reloading components from them. Tim Hannam and Reloading Solutions are excellent in comparisson.

We have ordered a few times but they are not our first choice. Bnz actually called to check some items were in stock and they gave the impression they were being shipped in the UK. When they didn't arrive in the "few days" stated he called again and they were a bit funny with him. The items took nearly two weeks as they came from the US. They do now say in the small print that the goods are shipped from the US. £8.85 postage for even the tiniest of items is a rip off.

I have moved this here to Gunshops as it is more appropriate and I would remind you all to read, understand and adhere to the Scotsgun Ruling!
