Thinking about buying a Luger online....

Pete Ebbink · 12-22-2004, 11:36 PM

Rather than mess with a vendor whose return policy is so obtuse, written by too many lawyers, and totally subjective from the seller's end only, why not turn to Dealers that have true 3-day, no-questions-asked, return policy.

Not to mention the PIA luger photos, text of the gun descriptions, and even their "legal" policy statements are "copy protected" on their web site so a buyer cannot even download that stuff off the web site, as part of the documentation-trail, before one sends in their money...

WHY BOTHER...???

Cannot say it better than the Dealers, themselves, that have done well by their customers for years. Here are some of their return-policy statements :

Joe Salter : http://www.joesalter.com/

Ã¢??The cornerstone of our business will always remain the same. Our stated policy is to provide a 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE, on everything that we sell. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you simply contact us to return the item for a full no questions asked refund. My philosophy is to give conservative descriptions and show up to 35 pictures per item. We want to show and accurately describe every detail on everything that we sell. We do not want you to get a surprise when you open the box. If you are not satisfied, you will not come back Ã¢??
