I was in the new store today, Chester hooked me up with the last Shield 9mm they had in stock. It was busy but Chester and 2 other staff took time to answer any question I had while Nics went thru.
If you have a gripe, by all means open your own thread to make a statement. Don't like the prices or policies move on, pretty lame to puke on the vendors grand opening thread. I thought we WaGuns members had a touch more class.

The only credit card fee that has ever been charged in either of the stores was on some of the GLOCK LE when we were making $20 on them, and then the fee was 2.5%. I forgot about this one, there is a $1, (one dollar) fee for debit or credit in the Lakewood store for purchases under ten dollars ($10) so that they aren't losing money on a transaction. I forgot about that.

Let me guess, you have an axe to grind with SAA over a perceived slight and now it's your personal mission to spread lies and bullshit on the internet in an attempt to dissuade cumstomers?

Ops wrote: the 3% fee ive been charged to buy all my firearms from SAA since I use my CC There is no credit card fee except in those few cases. Oh, about three years ago there was a 2.5% fee on credit cards on LE/mil SIGs. That hasn't been in effect since like 2010 though, not since they changed their MAP pricing again. There has never been a 3% fee. You are talking about the actual stores though right? Not the completely separate gunshows? Those might have a card fee, I have no idea. Show pricing is structured differently and has been even before there was a physical store (just the website and shows). IF you're talking about one of the stores, bring me a receipt (Tacoma, Sat-Wed). Or scan and post it. Prove me wrong and I'll do what I can to make it right... or get in trouble trying. Again though, the Lakewood or Tacoma store. Not the online business or the gunshows.

Send me a pm with your name, and maybe the sn. I'll see if I can get someone there to reprint the receipt for me. Or I'll just find the time to head there.
