    Not a happy camper, safe just arrived

    The guys were nice but in the process of getting my safe through the kitchen they some how scratched a 2 foot long line in the left side of my New browning safe it wasnt there upon arrival and im still perplexed as to what caused it.
    So i called up Guns fishing and other stuff in Vacaville were i purchased the safe, the floor manager was an ape to me on the phone none caring about the situation.
    1st of he thought i was calling 3 days after they delivered it and prior to me telling him differently he was pretty rude saying it was a shop floor model which it was, trying to make out that it was damaged at the time of purchase. I told him at the time of purchase it was mint upon careful inspection.

    Then he tells me how he trained the guys himself, some times this happens OH well was his mind set.

    I told him i wish he had been here, perhaps then it would not of happened.

    Then telling me there is nothing he could do.

    Once he figured out that they had just delivered it 5 mins ago after i corrected him.


    He then said what could he do.

    I told him the least you could do is get rid of the delivery charge which he was quick to jump on just to get rid of me.

    Delivery charge or not he was a goon to me on the phone, like he couldnt give a damn, to bad so sad attitude.

    I have a bottle of touch up paint but this is a high gloss finish i doubt its going to disappear, not sure how i could buff it out if thats even possible.

    From were i have it standing its not apparent, but on such a beautiful safe its still very dis-hearting and on my first real safe.

    Im sure in time it wont feel as bad even though its there to remind me.

    Any idea on how to buff it out, its just below the lacquer, its not very deep but enough so that it wont just rub out.

    Lastly do you think i could of been tougher in the bargaining with this guy as to better comp me, i got a $150 back from the delivery refund im wondering if i should contact the owner and tell him what happened.

    will post pics shortly.

        OP- Seriously- Document, document and document, WITH PICTURES! Time, date, location, who, what, how and contact me to fix the problem.

        Then I would present my case in Small Claims Court if you feel entitled to more damage compensation.

          You should have refused the safe once it was damaged. You're pretty much hosed now unless you have pictures or witnesses that show it was damaged by the movers. You did real well getting $150.

            So i just got of the phone again with this ape and it turns out its the owners son, he is about as rude as they come, and apparently the two guys who delivered it are now saying there was a nail sticking out of the door Jam which was a complete lie. the owner his father is in Mexico for 2 weeks and hes the only one who could do anything, so his rude son is stateing.

            I should of just refused the safe as soon as i saw the scratch but it all seems like spilt milk i should just shut my mouth and live with it.

            Im just honestly disgusted with the way this man treated me on the phone.
            And need to vent.

              Another reason why I ABSOLUTELY HATE!!!! That place. I dont even in there. The guys just have no respect for people especially those who seem to spend money there

                Good luck with the scratch. At least you got free delivery.
                I have herd all kinds of bad things about that store.

                If your feeling that bad, Have them take safe back. And get a full refund.

                  if you can't see it when installed, dont worry about it.

                  my safe is scratched to hell on the bottom and on its back, but the face looks good and thats all i care about...its in a closet. You did well getting $150 for the scratch.

                  do sweat it.....and dont go to small claims court...thats ridiculous.

                    Its a hard lesson im learning, the safe was to much of a deal to pass up when i had seen that very safe for $700 more locally. Perhaps that should of been my Omen. The fact that his guys are now lying erks the F out of me. I shall go in there in person in a couple of weeks and have sit down with the owner ive talked to him in the past about his Polar bear kill and he seemed nice enough. Its very sad that there are people out there in this buisness who are just complete creeps, i should of refused it but wasnt thinking at that moment to buisy been upset, the 2 guys seemed eager to leave without suggesting anything.

                    I have to say im not a hard man looking to try and get blood out of a stone with this. The scratch is there its not going to go away but its a double whammy when you get treated like you the guest at a concerntration camp, ok thats a bit over the top but im sure you all get my jist.

                      Check and see if the scratch is at the waist line, alot of times a belt buckle or key ring will pull a stunt like that. I've found that if you're careful, alot of times you can smear the paint on with your finger, and kind of wipe around the scratch to clean up the extra paint. You only need the paint to fill the scratch, not the surrounding area that the little brush makes a mess with.
                      Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
                      Let my aim be true and my hand faster
                      than those who would seek to destroy me.
                      Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
                      Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
                      And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

                          Typical of GFOS. Do not expect it to be any different with the owner, as he treats people the same way.

                            That scratch looks like it is radiused in a way that would happen when picking it up or setting it forward with a hand truck. Just keep posting and venting here, and then send a link to the thread to the owner. You'll be on the winning end of this one some way or another.

                            Nice safe, BTW.
