- Complaint Type:
- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- BBB unable to locate business
I placed the order on July 8th, 2022 and I have yet received my firearm. I have been given excuses like system is down, truck broken down, got Covid positive. The owner agrees to refund my order after so many attempts in six months. However, money was never sent and his excuse was waiting for check to be cleared, over zelle daily limit, bank issue, etc.Initial Complaint

I placed an order July of 2021 and until this very day I have not received my firearm. Every time I contact the owner trying to schedule a pick up Im always given the runaround or some sort of excuse that hes not at the shop or he is busy. When I finally can get a hold of the owner, he tells me he can come to me to drop it off, but then again theres always an excuse that either he has too many customers or he leads me thinking that he will drop off my firearm. I finally have gotten sick and tired of him flaking so I requested for him to refund me. I provided him with everything to refund me, bank information and statements of my purchase. And guess what? Ive been asking for a refund since the first week of December 2023 and I still have not gotten my refund. Every time I ask, theres always excuses. How much time and effort does it really take to send me my **** refund through Zelle or Venmo? This is by far the worst experience ever. I feel like I just got robbed. I will never ever by from these crooks again. I hope one day this guy is out of business and karma will get him back for what he did to me and all other customers he screwed over.

I placed an order with Mongrel Tactical in September 2020, and have ordered a few more firearms with this shop since then. However, each time I contact them to arrange a pick-up time, I am given excuses. Either their system is down, or a last minute emergency came up, or their truck delivered the wrong models or their warehouse has to be moved. Each time, I am already at the arranged pick-up location and I am given an excuse last minute. They clearly do not have the guns I ordered yet never tell me upfront, making me travel to pick up my orders knowing that I wont receive them. The shop owner ******************* has also offered to update my rifles to keep them up to code for free, so I had handed over 4 of my own Rifles as well. I have not gotten any of my orders or my own guns back in about 3 years. They also refuse to give me a refund or proof of work on my firearms. Mongrel Tactical is an untrustworthy business that will take your money and not give you the products you paid for. I am beginning to wonder if they took my own firearms to sell to other customers.Initial Complaint

Good morning, We have a no refund policy this customer had purchased a firearm and we ran his background from the department of justice and he was denied because he has something in his background that prohibits him from purchasing a firearm, our policy is he can find a family member or friend to transfer the firearm to and collect his money from the other party He was told this at the point of sale. We will run the background check on them and if they pass will receive the firearm. That is our policy and the policy of other Firearms Dealers.Thank you,**** *******General ManagerCustomer response

I purchased a rifle (steyr AUG) on May 12 2022. I was told they should get it in about 2to 3 weeks. 8 months later, they started paperwork. They feed my lies and ********. My background check was "pending" they say. The DOJ even had get Involved to find out what's going on. My paper work has been canceled andthey won't return my money. I have tried 3 times to get my money. $2300 and $688 fora glock I had on order too. When I asked about the glock,they had no idea about it. Avoid this place at all costs. Lying to customers and even the DOJ to cover their asses.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:
Update to the compliant I filed on 3/11/23. I was told I would be given a refund. They gave me a post dated check. On the day I could cash it, I deposited it. Bounced like a basket ball. No firearm, no refund, and a bad check. Then they said they would pay me through Zelle. All lies. Still no refund.Business response
