I be pissed if I ordered that online and they sent me old stock. I check all the stuff I get real closely in the mail, like shot-shell and whole rifle ammo I order for the brass and so far so good it's all been fresh new stuff. What kinda dork would grab old stock off the back shelf and hand it over to a customer??? That some messed up stuff and someone's ass would be in a sling after that! Could you imagine getting that mailed to ya??? I'd snap! Aint like its some obscure caliber either...it's 7mmMag! |
Who would do that...that's an easy question to answer Stovey...the red-headed pimply faced kid in the stock room who more likely than not wouldn't know sh1t from clay...but that's not his fault mate, he's just packing the mail order boxes with stock from the shelves. Now the guy who stocks the shelves and the Stock Manager SHOULD have been aware of the recall...no excuses there.
I had a problem with some 30.30 Winchester brass I purchased some years ago. Two cases in the pack of 100 had big chunks out of the mouth of the case. I rang Winchester here in Australia to let them know about the problem, not because I wanted them replaced, but so they were aware. They offered me all sorts of things to compensate. I said, no, it's all good...there were extra bullets in that last pack of 100 (about 3 or 4) I bought so I figured we were square. The guy at Winchester really appreciated my attitude, but insisted he send something, so I left it up to him. I don't have a shortage of 30.30 cases right now.
I believe customer attitude goes a long way to maintaining good relations with a company, and I certainly don't have any complaints about Winchester.
