    Once Again I'm the Villian

    Why can't I just do what my customers want?

    This older guy calls me up and says his brother died and his niece (a hoplophobe) will only send the firearms from an FFL to an FFL. I told him that since I am a CA dealer he'd need to go through the regular BG check and 10 day wait if I received them for him.

    He just called and told me the shipping FFL in Nebraska has never heard of such a thing. Now he's PO'd at me because I won't just give them to him when they get here. Luckily, he going to find a dealer who will. Unfortunately, I probably lost a repeat customer.

    When will I ever learn to do just as my customers tell me?

      Just relax....chances are the customer will give you a 2nd chance. Sounds like you just need to polish your sales skills. Good luck out there.

          When he realizes the Nebraska FFL knows nothing about CA law, he'll probably be back.

            Had a customer rail me for following the law also. (Sales Tax Issue) No fun, but probably won't see him as when he finds out you are right, he won't want to eat crow and will end up using someone else.

            The best medicine for this is to have other customers stick up for you on a board somewhere like Calguns. Works every time!

                      You should tell him yeah you'll accept the firearms, and give them to him when they get there, and then go on vacation for 10 days when you get them.
