    Discount Gun Mart Rant: *NEW UPDATE* Post #39...

    OK I know this wont be the first boo DGM has gotten but I am getting frustrated with their McDonalds/Wal-Mart Style customer service...

    I needed a Bobsled checked around online prices and found they were pretty much the same from the sites I looked at so I figured I would see if DGM could just get it for me from Brownells and then I could use my members discount and support my local Gun Shop at the same time... no biggie right?

    *WRONG*

    So I ask how long it would take to if I ordered from them and they say if you want the FREE shipping it will be about 2-3 weeks.... BUT if you pay for RUSH Shipping (an EXTRA $10) it can be here in about 5-7 days...I say sure I do need it sooner than 2-3 weeks so I PAID for the expedited shipping charges.

    I called them on day 7, on day 10 and even went into the shop on day 14 and they kept saying I dunno did someone call you let me check (goes off and looks through a drawer for a few seconds then helps another customer and never comes back) I ask another "helpful" employee and he just says "did they call you?!?" and I am like NO but the reason I paid the $10 buck *shows him recept* is so it would be here and I know you guys have received multiple orders since then, did you guys even order it and on what day!?!

    He never comes back to help me either... I took a few friends there to shoot and we waited 45 min. w/ front of the line member privilege because they were to busy "selling" to check out the two groups of hippie kids with the rental guns!

    I am standing there eyes and ears on Pelican Case and ID in hand and the guys with the rental start whining because they have been waiting for 5 min to get their IDs back!!!

    Than I storm over to the counter and remind them that I am a member that has been waiting 45 min. and there are 2 groups that need to return and get their IDs back, then they have the balls to pre tend that they some how didnt notice the group of 10 people at the range counter when there are the same 8 customers that they have been BSing with for the last half hour WTF!!!

    By the time we load and put up targets we get off a few mags then they blink the light and we gotta pack up.

    I told the dude when we were checking out that we waited the whole time and didnt even get to really shoot and if I could bring back my friend tomorrow and he could waive the fee for him because it was his first time shooting and I wanted to properly introduce him to firearms, to which he replies, "We dont give out no FREEBIES!" and then proceeds to blame Obama for their lack of customer service!!!

    Wow, if you read any of my posts you will know I am no fan of Barack H. Obama but give me a #@&*ing break now I have heard it all their incompetence in San Diego is LEGENDARY and as far as giving them my $$$ well I think when this year runs out I will find a new range to pay my dues!

    THANKS GUYS I feel a little better now,

      Ive never had a problem there and I don't look like a hippie but am young. Ive never used their range though. I have bought a bunch of lowers and other stuff from them though.

        Never been there, but I still drive to Oceanside for Iron Sights when I go anywhere.

          Mike you and I obviously dont look like hippies I was just joking hell I knew one of the hippies friends... maybe I just look to Mexican!

          Honestly, I just think that they are just under paid and under educated about firearms and firearm laws in general.

            Ill agree with that. I wouldn't go in there to learn anything. I did straight purchases.

                Have you tried American Shooting Center? They definitely get my money. No time limit ever, great service and a polite/knowledgeable staff. The prices may be a little higher than DGM but it seems like its worth it. I've heard all the horror stories about DGM and I don't think I'll ever set foot in that place.

                  On top of that they're just plain RUDE. I used to live in Mission Valley a few years ago and was almost forced to go there but after 4 or 5 bad xperiences there I said never again.

                  Funny thing, I saw they had P6's so I went in there again two days ago and broke my own rule to be treated rudely again and almost started rant thread here as well. Two years ago I was told that I was going to jail for sure for building OLL AR and how much of an idiot I was, etc. Now they sell lowers. I can't stand that store...run and managed by RUDE MORONS!!

                    Oh, btw, I was calling around to price a P-01 the other day and SoCal on Concoy had them beat by $40. IMO SoCal has the friendliest and most helpful staf in SD, not to mention their selection on consignment.

                      +1 on So Cal, i was their on election day. they gave me prompt service and had just what i was looking for...a Kaiser defense lower.

                      +1 on Iron Sights....they have hooked me up plenty of times

                      I did a transfer at Discount Gun Mart once and will never do it again, they were slow and incompetent. Took them 30 minutes just to find my pistol when i came to pick it up...never again.
                      Peace through superior firepower.

                      liberals want my guns and conservatives want my porn, im not willing to part with either

                        Sorry tmuller I got similar shaddy service from Socal on Convoy (I head the La Mesa one is better?) I bought a BRAND New USP from them for an OK price but when after a week of owning it one of the plastic retaining clips of the floor plate of a 10 rd. mag broke one of the employees there told me to SUPER GLUE it WTF!?! I just handed them over almost a $1k for a fine German engineering marvel that I hope they at least considered may have to be called upon to defend my safety and my family's safety and these fracking HILLBILLYS tell me to SUPER GLUE it NO WAY, I demanded another solution (I dunno maybe send back under warrnty/ sell me a new floorplate ) but they just called the old timer/higher up from the back and he said, "Yep, SUPERGLUE will probably work"

                          I stopped going to DGM for this same reason.

                          Now I go to SoCal gun.

                          I'm going to give P2K a chance today and try out their range which is 100 yards.... much further than DGM which I think tops out at 25 yards.
                          Nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.

                              I have no affiliation with SoCal, other than being a pleased customer, but I encourage you to give them another shot. I deal almost exclusively with a guy by the name of Mike and he is a 100% class act. I think the La Mesa store is closed btw, not sure tho. Also a +1 for Iron Sights but it's too much of a drive for me.
