As for adding $5 to the purchase price, that makes as much sense as CA calling "tax" a "fee"... renaming it doesn't explain it, or justify it - and driving the price up for profit is Turners prerogative, but if you are trying to attract customers that's a bass-ackwards way of doing it. |

Exactly! When I buy jeans from sears do they charge me a "handling fee"? NO I dont understand what the handling fee is for when Turners is in the business of selling guns. I never complain about anything but this fee does not add up. Its not the $$$ that bothers me its the principal. It didnt say anything about a fee on the add. If it did I wouldnt be here complaining. And if I missed it somewhere I would have paid it but I still feel as if this fee is wrong. Im seriously trying to like Turners but every time I spend money there I feel bad afterwards. Most of the sale items you have to get on the first day or they are SOLD OUT and the sales people have no idea or clue about what is on sale or not. I went in to buy a cleaning kit for my rifle that is on sale for $14.99 and the sales guy ahd no clue about it and finally just said"were sold out" he didnt know when they would get any more. I had to do my own work to even find the item. I love Turners but the more I go there the more Im losing faith.

When you buy jeans at sears they don't have to submit a background check on you to the DOJ to see if you can purchase said jeans nor do they have to complete and store federal documents for the ATF. I have no issues paying the $5 fee so that they can do the +/-15 mins of paperwork involved in a gun sale. Then again im the guy who will gladly pay the .45c fee at the gas station to use my card outside to avoid dealing with the people inside. |

I dont mind paying certain fees but I would like a little more clarity on what it is for. I never paid a $5 handling fee when buying a gun at any other gun shop so why Turners?

OK... enough of that handling fee BS.... It is what it is.
The more important question is when are you going to open a store in Temecula/Murietta area? Corona and Kerney Mesa are too far to drag the wife to. Last edited by Clownpuncher; 09-07-2011 at 10:36 AM.. Reason: I'm a moron |

When I bought my first handgun at Turners I was shocked how much paperwork was involved. For crisake I've closed escrow with less signatures! No wonder they charge $5. Thank the gov for endless red tape.

Temecula is on the definitely on the short list of new locations as we look at new store openings in early 2012. PM sent.

I just wanted to stop in and say that I love this thread and I love Turners. Corona is my store and the staff there is great. My only complaint is that I stopped in yesterday to pick up a P95 mag and you guys didn't have any, but the guy I talked to did everything he could to help me track one down. Unfortunately I need it for Sunday which is short notice for most options.

Just a note to turners : if your going to put mosin nagants on sale please stock up on ammo. Everyone in San Diego is sold out apparently big demand....I sure hope you have ammo when I pick up my new piece of history next Sunday. On a side note the ranges around here only allow non magnetic ammo wink wink

Finally!!! I used to go to the Riverside store when I lived there and I have bought a rifle from the Corona store that "replaced" it, but it is a bit of a drive from where I live. I can't wait until the Temecula store opens.

Went into the Turners Fountain Valley about ten days ago or so. Was trying to pick up a few of those Durango gun cases that are on sale. Got the same response mentioned above from the guy behing the cash register.I found where they were suppose to be but all were sold. I walked up to the cash register and asked was there any more. He responded huh? What? So I asked again. His response well if there is none over there we must be out.( Really?) So I asked, You dont by chance have extras in the back? His response no! I then asked when they were going to get more. His response- I dont know when we are going to any more back in. Then proceeds to tell me they have been sold out for weeks.
Dissapointing! If they have not had any in weeks , What takes so long getting more in the store? Is it a loss leader type deal or is someone not keeping inventory stocked. I honestly think you can restock gun cases within two weeks. The add is no good to me if whats on sale is not there to buy. I understand the deals are good and you have no control over how fast things get sold, but please restock. I just keep getting the impression you guys only want to sell limited amounts of certain things you advertise. This isnt the first time I have came across this on something advertised.

Wouldn't you know it- when we have ammo, no one has rifles; when we get a good shipment of rifles, all we can find is corrosive or bi-metal ammo. We're working on it, though and hope to have something in shortly.

As long as the magazine is fixed- as with other AK type rifles- and the capacity is 10 or less, we have no issues on a PPT.
In fact, we're going to have a second batch of single-shot Hellpup pistols in shortly. PM, sent.

This store is nice enough to provide representation on this forum, provide timely feedback to its customers, and generally from what I have seen, takes care of them better than most businesses of their size. The $5 charge has been discussed ad naseum both in this thread as well as several others where links were provided. I'm relatively new to the forum and even I can find it. Continuously wanking about the fee does nothing but show your limited mental capacity to comprehend what has already been said and explained several times, therefore, it is what it is. If it bothers you that much, go somewhere else. Chances are when you do have a problem you won't find the customer service that Turners provides. Of course you can always buy online and save a few bucks, but then you would have to pay shipping and would have no limit on the FFL fee. Or you could drive around town looking for the best deal, wasting more than the $5 you are complaining about. To me, $5 isn't that big of a deal to support a local store who takes an active interest in the community and takes care of their customers. Maybe if there were more businesses like that and more people who thought like that there would be fewer wal marts and other big box stores with the service of a morgue. |

Thanks Norwalk!
Kudos to Norwalk store!!!
Went in to get some PMC .223 that was in today's "Off the Hook Special" - one day only email add... but I got there a little late in the day (4:00-ish) and they only had four boxes left (I wanted 10, which is maximum per person purchase)... I started to call FV and SH stores to see if they had any in stock, and clerk realized my predicament and offered some Remington that they had plenty of for same sale price! Manager did price-adjustment = hassle-free and out the door swiftly! I love it when it happens like that |

I'm already supporting the store by purchasing something, why should I be forced to support them with an extra $5. Would you like to pay an extra $5 at every store you shop at just because you like them?

Good point! As a powerful community we should band together and boycott all businesses and organizations that charge fees on top of their basic service charges. I think I'll start by cancelling my Costco membership. $35 a year so I can spend good money on pallets of burritos, duct tape and toilet paper just doesn't seem fair. And after checking out the BS fees on my utility bills I'm cancelling all of them too. And I don't think I'll be buying gasoline here anymore either. I'll order it online from some guy in Oklahoma who lives in his mom's basement and save the state taxes and AQMD and CARB fees. That'll show em...

I think many of you are missing the point of the $5 fee question... its not a matter of being too much or unwarranted - people are asking for an explanation.
Too many people in this thread are implying "shut up and pay it"... that's not acceptable to most logical right-minded individuals. Many of the examples being given are not comparable - a tax is explained, a membership fee is explained... the $5 handling fee is ambiguous - and people are justified in wanting clarification.. If you don't mind paying fees without explanation - you are sheep and part of the problem in this state/country. |

it's not drama... it's simply my opinion (and the opinion of many others) that we pay way to many "fees" that are unexplained... and unfortunately far too many people (particularly in CA) never question it; it has resulted in problems, problems that could be avoided if more people stop being sheep and wake up.
This is going off topic in regards to Turners - the subject is one thing, but I agree it isnt an isolated "Turners" issue - however, the reason people question the Turners fee is justified the same way. |
