Hello again Eric,
You stated that I didn't contact David Waters to pursue a personal response with him. As far as the Politic's went, I just responded with the facts as I know them. Sorry, but I didn't bring up the Politic's.
Now about Water's Rifleman, My order was started on August 28, 2018. I was going on a fishing trip into Canada so he held up my order until September 4, when the first package was shipped. On September 22, 2018, I sent David Waters a second email looking for information on my second package that was shipped on September 5, 2018. Since I didn't get a response from the first email inquiry, I was starting to think I was scammed and that's what I asked him. He soon responded and he wasn't happy about my scammed comment. I gave David Waters fair warning that I have used hunting forums in the past. There are many hunting forums out there and I've only posted to this forum, Hey, I don't know this guy from Adam but when he responded with “Did you get additional insurance on the shipment? It was obvious that David didn't care about what happened to my order and I felt you and the other Tikka owners should be for-warned.
Here is how the order options read:
2x 10R 223 2.4″ US$128ea
1x SRLB US$19ea (Single Round Loading Block)
1x Plain regular airmail post A$18
TOTAL US$293OR
1x 10R 223 2.4″ US$128ea
1x6R 223 2.4″ US$117ea
1XSRLB US$19ea (Single Round Loading Block)
1x Plain regular airmail post A$18
TOTAL US$282Not using Pay-Pal will save you Approx US$20 or so.
There, you have the options presented to me. I elected the first option for $293.00 and I sent a personal check. Nowhere was there any mention of additional insurance. Nor was there any mention of my order being split into two shipments, nor was there ever a receipt presented to me. Once I placed the order, I was informed the shipment would come in two packages. Personally, I didn't care as long as I got the items I ordered. From here on out, I'm hoping David Waters will give you guys and gals better customer service than what he gave to me. I'm done with this post and I'll not comment anymore. Now you can check out the new post: The Rest of the Story.
