  GunZone is a terrible company todo with business with. I wish to NEVER do business with this company as long as I live.Purchased a suppressor and to my surprise they stated it would take 30 days!!!! Until item will ship that I paid over 1k for After 30 days my item has not shipped. **************** is as bad as it can get. Cannot call anyone they use 3rd party chat support they give pre-scripted info that does not answer question. Requesting to cancel my order they are refusing too when they broke their own ridiculous policy for 30 days until 1 them ships Do not fall for their lower prices. Not worth the headaches

  Business Response

  Date: 03/18/2025

  Mr. ***** placed an order for a custom, made-to-order item with a clearly stated 30-day lead time. He even acknowledged this lead time in his complaint. This information is easily verifiable through the provided link (****************************************************************************) and the attached screenshot. Mr. ***** placed his on 02/17/2025 at 8:23 PM EST, as confirmed by the attached signed invoice. On 03/17/2025 at 4:04 PM EST, ******** sent an inappropriate message to our internal helpdesk requesting to cancel the order. Its worth noting that February is a shorter month, so the 30-day lead time does not conclude until tomorrow. Regardless, the order had already been processed and was ready to ship today but as requested, the order was promptly located, canceled, and a refund was issued. Proof of the refund is attached for reference. Additionally, Mr. ****** claims regarding chat support are entirely false. We do not offer a chat feature, nor do we utilize third-party services for customer interactions. Every message he submitted was responded to within a few hours. The attached supporting documents further confirm that Mr.****** complaint is unjust, as the order was still within the stated lead time, and a refund has already been provided. Please note, this is our final response to the matter as there is nothing further to address.

  3/20/24 company was approached online for a quote. Sales quote came quickly and order was purchased ******. Company only after pulling $ from my account tells me there are these extra steps to take as the customer when it is known industry wide that retailer is to contact FFL for licensing information. I told them I would not be doing their leg work as this is not common and that they are to contact FFL for their license. I told them either perform this yourself or cancel the order. There is no way to call this company, phone number is fake recording forcing you into email system. Lengthy email was returned to me stating they reached out to FFL and all is good, I said cancel the order anyway, they reply with first mention of cancelation policy charging customers when when done in first 24 hours, I said how much is the fee send the order then if there is a fee and I called their company a joke for having a fake phone number and forcing these email back and forths. Company returned the secure funds to my debit 3 days later 3/23/24 minus 10 percent (******). This fee is to cover costs of card companies they say, but there are no companies that charge 10 percent and no companies who will not refund in full in a short time frame. ***** will be returned to my account, or the complaints across the internet will only increase. I told them to send the order to avoid this fee and they intentionally ignored that last email in order to keep this fee for doing no work. This is usary and fraud.

  ********************************* of ************, ** is not telling the truth.Our phone number is **************. It is a real phone number. ****************** spoke to, verbally abused, and harassed two our team members to a point where we had block him from the website, email, and our phone system. ************************** did place an order with us, and we did inform him that we needed an updated copy of his FFLs license. He completely lost it and canceled his order. We tried to explain to him that we reached out to his FFL on his behalf but with all the screaming and profanity we could not get a word in otherwise. ************************** did cancel his order and a refund was issued based on the cancellation policy he signed and agreed to. Attached is supporting documentation for you to review so that you can see this complaint is unjust.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 03/26/2024

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  There was no verbal abuse, hence why the business owner never shows the messages. 

  Calling a company a joke is to be expected when stealing 10% from customers purchase. Not verbal abuse. Show it? 

  Business owner has no signature agreeing to this policy of allowing 10 percent of a purchase to be kept for doing no work. 

  Business owner first stated that the 10 percent is needed to cover payment processing fees, yet tells others that it's a restocking fee. 

  It's just a free money fee that isn't disclosed until long after the business owner has your card information. Which is why so many before me have come here with the same complaint. 

  Business owner was asked how much this fee was and to ship the merchandise then if there is a cancel fee. 

  Business owner intentionally ignored this request and canceled and kept ten percent to receive free money. 

  No evidence will show business owners extraordinary claims. 

  No signature agreeing to allow 10 percent to be stolen exists.

  We do not record phone conversations. A copy of ******************* signed invoice was attached in our previous response to this complaint. Our cancellation policy is published and very clear. Proof of that was also provided in our previous response.  ***************************** is now leaving reviews with fictitious names on different websites and still trying to harass us. We have had to block him from the website, email, and our phone system. We did not do anything wrong,and proof was attached in our previous response. We cannot fix narcissist behavior and you can clearly see that is what the issue is when reading Mr. ************ initial complaint. Please know that this is our final reply to this complaint.

  I ordered a $1,500 rifle scope from them. Did not realize that their business model, nor was I told it was a special order item, that would be drop shipped. Not my problem. I found a newer version of that scope. I told him I wanted to cancel or change my order to the newer version if they had it available which would also involve spending more money and them making more money purchasing it from them. I was told that they do not have that model and that I would be responsible for return shipping as well as a restocking fee. When I hadn't even received the order at my house yet, touched, opened, nothing of the sort, and even offered to buy the newest model of that scope and spend hundreds of extra dollars. Even possibly wait till they were able to get one if it wasn't too far out and still spend more money with them. Approximately another **** dollars. All in good faith. They are not able to provide me with the more expensive product that I would like and are telling me I have to pay return shipping and a restocking fee when the item has not even been received by me or touched by me at all yet. When most of their other competitors do free exchanges, free returns, return shipping provided by company, and no restocking fees if unopened. You cannot reach a live person on the phone and everything has to be done through time consuming emails on top of their silly customer service policies. I have never had to deal with anything like this from any other online retailer before. This is totally unreasonable and the only option they are giving is me being responsible for original shipping out, return shipping, and restocking. When I don't even have the product yet nor even touched it.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  I don't know why you said you don't have it. No kidding. I told you everything every step of the way. Also told you I refused delivery and it is being returned to sender like I told you in my email. You said I needed to pay for shipping costs both ways including refused return to sender which I didn't even know was a thing. Also you said despite me never touching, opening, using product in any way that I would have to pay restocking. That's absolutely ridiculous. I am okay with compromise paying for shipping. But deserve a full refund. There is nothing to putting a unused  untouched product back on the shelf other than a few minutes of time and labor. Once again item was untouch and is returning to you in exact for you sent it. No reason to pay ANY RESTOCKING. That is absolutely silly and I have never experienced anything like that in this instance with any other online retailer as long as I have been online shopping. This is a blatant money grab and I just in this case. Being as package is being returned to sender untouched just as they sent it to me. This is unheard of and just a greedy money grab. Especially when I offered to buy what I wanted in the end that is $1000 more if they could provide it. But they can't. So restocking an untouched thing in this case when I was willing to buy something a grand more, even wait for it, is absolutely crazy

  My issue with gun zone deals was not resolved. Have you guys thoroughly read the correspondences and complaints? They keep saying that it's still in transit. I understand it is still in transit as I am the one that refused the delivery then dispute in question which is clearly spelled out in my correspondences is the absorbent restocking fee and as well as me paying shipping to and from. For something that never exchanged hands and on top of that I was willing to buy something that was $1,000 more expensive. All this was clearly laid out in my messages so why it got marked as they made a good faith effort and that the complaint is closed is inadequate. I also spelled out in my messages all the details that were not good faith in what they were doing and wanting to charge a restocking fee on something that I have not touched. Used is all an original packaging and all they have to do is put it back on the shelf. As well as them charging me shipping both ways. I clearly explained that that was not fair. Not in one of their correspondences Did they say anything about not charging me a restocking fee and issuing me a full refund like I asked and complained about? It doesn't appear that they paid attention to my detailed messages as well as you guys may not have paid attention to the details in my messages and what I thought was a fair resolution which they never agreed to. All they're telling you is that they're willing to issue a refund. But the issue at hand and that I have several records of emails between me and them is them trying to ***** me for a restocking fee for something that never became. My possession, touched, used, nothing. As well as I willing to buy buy a better, more expensive product. I'm in a customer service field and this is unheard of. It is a clear ***** and money grab to make money off of doing next to nothing.
  
  Please review messages in complaint and pay attention to details

  So you are going to do a cash grab I make someone pay for shipping both ways as well as restocking fee for something someone tried to cancel before fully shipped and exchanged hands? Had the chance to reach your shipping company and cancel the package and only change me for the shipping? After not being able to Provide me with the product I offered to wait to become available and spend an extra $1000 dollars going rate for what I wanted to wait for? Then I refuse package, don't even touch it at all, it comes back and all you as a small company have to do is take maybe 15 minutes of time and labor to process and put on shelf, charge me return shipping on a refused return to sender on a package which I don't even think is a thing, and charge a minimum 10% or more on $1500 for restocking? I work in customer service as a technician on life safety systems that involve people's lives and know how good customer service/satisfaction works. This by far is not that and a blatant theft/money grab & terrible move on your companies part. I will be leaving reviews with all my proff on all social media pages and ******* I also will be taking this the next level as BBB suggested and also dispute with bank if FULL refund is not issued.

  And like I said on multiple emails I understand you guys not taking the hit for shipping. And was fine for taking the hit on shipping. But to pay restocking on something that never exchanged hands, was not touched, and also explain to you guys that I was willing to buy a more expensive product from you guys even if it involved waiting till you were able to be able to locate and or get one. Which in your guys business that model would become available if not right away shortly as it is the next model up. If I was willing to do all that and I haven't even touched your product, it exchanged hands, and so on the right customer service thing to do (being that I am in the industry as well) would be to say hey, we understand the situation and that you were willing to spend more and nothing was touched. We'll make an exception. To just do a blatant money grab on something that was never used, touched, or exchanged. Hands is a awful thing. Especially if the person was willing to spend another $1,000 on top of the **** he already did and wait for the next revision of that product to be supplied from you. It's a terrible way to do business, it's a money grab,

  Purchased a SureFire Suppressor on 11/1/2022. It is 11/29/2022, a month later and my item has not been delivered to my FFL/SOT. When they finally provided a tracking ***** #************ 3 weeks later, they gave me some bogus ***** # ************ that did not work Every time I try contacting customer service I am given excuse after excuse.

  Business Response

  Date: 12/08/2022

  The ***** Tracking number that D*** provided is correct and his item has been delivered (proof of delivery is attached). D*** ordered a Class 3 item, so a Form 3 had to be submitted to the ********** of the **** D*** was informed several times by several team members that we could not ship the *** item to his dealer until the Form 3 was approved. D*** was also informed that Form 3's can take 10 30 days to get approved. D*** has harassed and bullied several of our team members. D*** also tried to pull and scam and file a credit card dispute to not pay for his item. We did have to suspend ***** account and we have politely asked him to take any future business elsewhere. ***** order was delivered. We have wasted plenty of time and resources on this issue and this will be our final reply to this complaint. Please find the attached proof of delivery. ***** FFL can also confirm delivery if you need that contact information. Thank you!

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Per ATF website it takes 10 days for a eform 3 transfer, NOT 30 days as GunZone states. The item was lost and the inept ******* kept giving excuse after excuse and eventually ended their communication with me. The only way I resolved the issue was contacting my FFL. GunZone offered no help or assistance.  Here is the ***** case # 90177659. The rest of GunZones reply are complete lies and seems to mimic their other responses to complaints from others.  If you notice, ******* never accepts mistakes, they deflect it back to the consumer, another sign of poor customer service. There was NO harassment or bullying.  ******* states they locked my account and asked me to take my business elsewhere, as if after this terrible experience I would ever do business with ******* again.  Just an overall terrible company with terrible customer service.  To future consumers of GunZone, take this and other BBB complaints as a warning and take your business and money elsewhere.

  D*** is incorrect and untrustworthy. He recently attempted to fraud ** and not pay for his suppressor by filing a credit card dispute. As far as lead times, you can simply ****** how long does the *** take to process a form 3 and you can confirm for yourself that it does take ***** days. This can also be verified on the ***s website under their published current processing-times. Proof of delivery was provided for ****'s order ****** Tracking Number: ************). ********** at **************  can also confirm receipt.

  i had ordered a holster thru Gunzonedeals and did not receive it. I was email that they were afraid of fraud and wanted my picture i.d. sent to them. I told them i will not send personnel info about myself to them and requested my money back. Simple right. They refuse to do anything until talking to me on the phone. So i tried to call them. They have a number but you cannot talk to anyone. All the recording says is email us. I have been several times requesting the return of my money to my credit card. It seems to be a big run around. My order number is ******. My ticket number is ******. It is very sad when these places treat us senior citizens so terrible.....

  Anyone can call us at ************** anytime and confirm that ************************* has published a false statement here. ************ is uncredible and clearly cannot listen to or follow directions. ************ placed an order our website against our shipping polices that he signed and agreed to (PROOF OF THIS IS ATTACHED).

We informed ************ that we were canceling his order and refunding him in full. We also sent him proof of his full refund (PROOF OF THIS IS ALSO ATTACHED). ************ was harassing our team members so we had to suspend his account, block his number, and blacklist his IP address. We have kindly asked ************ to take his business elsewhere and never contact us again. We are confident after you review the supporting attached documents you will find and ************ is dishonest and you will be able to close this complaint.

  I ordered an item from GunZoneDeals.com called a "****** Talon 45/90 Safety Selector." When I received said item, I noticed that there were no install accessories in the packaging (rendering the item useless), and that the packaging looked like it had been slightly opened before. I assumed it had slipped out of the package on the way to me. No big deal, I contacted their support, and this is where all h*** broke loose. I told them my problem and waited for an easy fix. They responded saying to send pictures of the packaging (thanking God I still had it). I sent the pictures, and then no response for quite a while. I bugged them again about it after about a week of waiting for a reply, and they said:"Hello,Apology for the inconvenience.The shipping warehouse have verified with the buyer of this item and they confirmed that is all that comes with this (UPC # ************; SKU R0018). There is no additional parts as seen on the picture below and on ****** website."This is of course completely bogus, and ******'s own website and accessories guide confirms that it's supposed to be included in all their kits. I sent a response saying as much and even included a video showing someone online opening the package containing the accessories, as well as an attached ****** accessories guide where I highlighted the pertinent information. I'm at my wit's end on how companies try to pull this slick nonsense hoping their customers won't fight them back. I CAN say that after all this I will NEVER be doing business with this website again, and implore others to do the same.

  Business Response

  Date: 08/23/2022

  We are confused as to why ******************** filed this complaint. He informed us that he lost the mentioned parts and needed replacements. We informed him we did not have any on hand and that ****** Weapons could send replacements. **************** has been very disrespectful, impatient, and belligerent with several of our team members. We made a decision to permanently suspend his account so this complaint is likely his retaliation. If ****************** would like to return this item we can issue a refund per our return policy (directions are attached). We do not what to have any further dealings with **************** and this will be our final reply to this complaint.

  Placed order 5/15/2022 Order ******. Purchased a ***************** from gunzonedeals.com, description of the item listing states aluminum frame and aluminum checkered grips. Watched a ******* video of sootch stating the frame and grips are polymer. I immediately contacted gunzonedeals staff and asked to confirm the frame material of the ***************. Staff member ********* stated "I just received confirmation that is Aluminum, 100%". I asked again to confirm the listing information was correct, because it still had some misleading information. She confirmed aluminum frame and aluminum grips. This is my first order with gunzonedeals.com and I trusted their staff members that confirmed 100%......pistol shipped. FFL received it, took a glance of the handgun and completed my **** transfer. Upon closer inspection when I got home....the frame and grip material are polymer. Contacted gunzonedeals immediately, got a response after Memorial Day. I have requested multiple times for a manager to call me, but the new CS rep ****** has been no help. Their options they have given me is to return the pistol with a prepaid label or an in-store credit of $10.00. Beretta checkered aluminum grips are $99.99 on Beretta's website, and how is $10.00 of in-store credit to gunzonedeals.com supposed to help me out? I would like the return the pistol but I would like my FFL fee of $20.00 refunded as well. There is no accountability of their misleading product listing, they have only blamed misinformation from their distributor. Why am I supposed to take a $20.00 loss when the business lied to their customer?

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  I was not misinformed, this was false advertising. If I send the handgun back, will I get a refund for my FFL as well? I am not going to take a lose of $20.00 for mistakes that were made by gunzonedeals.

  Business Response

  Please review the supporting attached documents. You will find proof of belligerent interactions and verbal abuse from Mr. ******************* toward our team. You will also find proof that this complaint is unjust and waste of everyone's time. Thank you! 

  Customer Answer

  Date: 06/13/2022

   I am rejecting this response because: will not do business with gunzonedeals again. It is fine they have ban me for the use of profanity. Its quite frustrating that a customer has confirmed with their staff regarding product descriptions and they are completely wrong. Instead of taking ownership, they place blame on their distributors. Having a customer take a $20 loss on their FFL fee is not reasonable.

  Transaction Date: 5/1/22 Purchased a Komrad 12g AOW based on an Ad that pictured the shotgun with a magazine and then below it 4 more magazines with the label '4 extra free magazines' which for a total of $999 shipped to buyer. So the buyer was led to believe they were buying the gun and 5 magazines as pictured. I only received the gun and only 4 magazines. When I emailed the seller I was told that that was it. They meant to send only 4 and that the ad only said 4 magazines. I noticed that they fixed their add online after the fact with the picture of the shotgun with a magazine attached and 3 magazines below and a label of '4 magazines.' So they used the bait-and-switch technique on me. When I showed them proof of my add at the time of my purchase and the ad they changed post my purchase, they ignored me. They then offered for me to return the purchase at my own expense...so I would need to lose money om the *** transfer I had already paid and then lose money to mail the weapon back to them due to no fault of my own, which I refused since I found it all absurd and unacceptable. This is just a scam. They are just stealing from me my 1 magazine and hoping I go away quietly.I just want them to mail me what they owe me: 1 magazine as pictured and as labeled on the advertisement at the time of my purchase. I am attaching the picture of the May 1st, 2022 ad and the picture of the ad post the switch/change.

  This deal came with a firearm and 4 extra magazines. We have apologized to the customer if the manufacturer photo created confusion for him. Our detailed listing description did clearly state in that it only came with four magazines in two different areas (Please See The Attached Proof). This customer has been informed by four different team members now, that if you are not happy with the purchase they can return the order for a full refund.

   I am rejecting this response because:  Clearly this business lacks moral fiber as can be seen from their bait-and switch tactics and the name of their proof ***************************' which is a pointed insult directed at me.

  
  

  Attached is my proof again...the first advert labeled BAIT clearly uses the word 'extra' for mags which is defines as 'additional' or 'added to an existing amount or number' and clearly the ad is pictured with 5 magazines...1 on the weapon plus 4 'extra' so the total is clearly conveyed as 5.

  
  

  Then the business changes the ad post my payment as can be seen in the SWITCH picture/proof to just 4 magazines and they drop the word 'extra' to go along with their scam.  Why would they see the need to change the ad?

  
  

  They can ridicule and claim what they want.  Any reasonable person can see and understand what they have done: bait-and-switch.  If you take the cost of 1 magazine and multiply by dozens of times they may have pulled this scam, then they made some money.  Many will not bother to make noise or file a complaint and just take it.  I am not one of those.  Nothing may come of this, but pls make this public for the record and let others be warned that they too may be targets if they deal with this seller.

  
  

  I will file a fraud report with the FTC...hopefully this starts a file and one day it gets looked at when enough entries get added in...

  
  

  I will also reach out to as many of my elected officials that I can...now days they are just an e-mail away...in hopes that GunZone Deals plants a small seed of discontent somewhere and they remember it when they need to make an example of shady gun business in the future.

  
  

  And social media, well lets see...

  
  

  And I declined to return purchase since I would need to do it at my own expense which would not make any financial sense...they know this, the only reason they offer it.  it's just a ploy...insulting one's intelligence.
