Buds Gunshop

[lsufan1971]

I ordered a Sig P226 CPO from Buds last week. Gun came in to my dealer and was able to pick it up on Tuesday. I checked it out and everything looked okay. I didn't even notice that it was missing the decocker control. I went to my office and upon further inspection found out I had a DAO fun not a DA/SA gun. I called Buds and told them the deal. They guy on the phone was very helpful. I told him I accepted the gun from the dealer doing a cursory check but wanted to send it back. He said they normally do not accept guns back that have been transfered to a dealer as they are then considered used. To make a long story short I sent the gun back and I am getting a NIB FNX 9 Stainless plus credit back for the difference. I shipped the gun back to them on Tuesday, they received this morning, my FN is on it's way and I have gotten notice my refund to my card will happen in 1-3 days.

I know they receive a lot of bad reviews but other than sending me the wrong gun I have to say they stepped up and did their best to make me a happy customer.

I liked Buds until my last ordered. They received payment from me and took almost two and a half weeks to ship something they claimed was in stock. The customer service rep. I spoke with was also very snarky and never could come up with an answer or excuse as to why. So I found someone new to do business with.

I've had good experiences with Bud's.

I've ordered 3 guns for my self, and 3 for my father. No issues other than a 1 week delay on my first purchase, but I received an email after I ordered telling me that I could expect a delay due to Xmas.
I've recommended them to many people and no one has come back to me saying they suck.

I've only bought one gun from them, my Baby Eagle, and I had no issues at all.

I have always been happy with Bud's

In fact....A couple of years ago, I was suddenly denied by the ATF. I had already ordered and paid for a Ruger Mini 14 and was denied when I went to pick it up at the local dealer. I wasn't expecting a problem, and had also just ordered and paid for 2 more guns from Bud's when I found out about the denial. So I called Bud's and asked them to hold my 2 guns while I sorted the mess out. The reason I wanted them to hold the guns was that I was using a local pawn shop for ATF transfers and I didn't really know them well. I also just felt safer with Bud's holding the guns....I kind of wanted to spread my risk.
Long story short....It took a year to get everything sorted out and approved by the ATF....I had to appeal the denial. After a year....1 phone call and Bud's sent everything. I call that good service.

I have purchased several handgun models of a don't-want-to-mention-in-this-forum brand, and have never had a problem with either Bud's, or the brand.

I've had good dealings with them too. That's a good deal they gave you. It's my understanding that once you fill out the paperwork it's used. They'll have to sell it used. I couldn't complain.

Buds has been awesome for me. As far as I'm concerned, I may never buy a gun anywhere else if they've got it in stock. Their prices are great, and I've had 2 good customer service experiences with them. I like that all their guns are listed with shipping included, and that they will save you a few bucks for a cash sale. I also like that they have a LEO site, also with very good prices. They have an FFL tracker/search function on their site, so you know exactly who they already have on file.

I support my LGS's by buying ammo and accessories.
