High caliber services

[u/iwannabeaspacecowboy]

Has anyone else had bad experiences with high caliber services based out of Mission, BC? I have now been strung along for 6 months on the purchase of a magazine adapter that I was told had a wait time of 4-6 weeks. After being told the product would be done and shipped by the end of the month on 3 separate occasions, they have now started ignoring emails. The product is now listed on their page as in stock and being shipped. I like to support local gun and parts manufacturers but this is absurd, I have not had customer support or an experience with a company as bad as this. They were always to quick to reply with the first few letting me know they were almost done, but after being patient and giving them ample time far beyond the estimates they had told me I have become very frustrated. How can you advertise a product and take money from people for said product and then not even have the intention of delivering it by the end of their own timeline.

Never ordered from them but I find some aspects of their business concerning. They’re running a “sticker raffle” where you buy stickers for $22.50 each, and when they’re all sold they pick a winner for a free gun.

The issue is this raffle has been live for months with no guaranteed end date, they won’t draw a winner until every single ticket sells, which may never happen. Anyone who bought a ticket could just be out $22.50 with nothing to show for it.

From what I can tell this likely violates BC law around raffles and gambling. Licensed raffles in BC require a defined sales period and draw date.

When i emailed them with a concern about this because i was going to buy a ticket they just said “The raffle happens when all the tickets sell. No matter how long it takes. “

You seem fun. Someone has to stand up to protect big Lotto and Casinos!

1) Why would a business take a loss just to raffle quickly? It is no different than S&J Hardware. The price of the "appreciation gift" is fixed. The payout on a 50/50 raffle is not. Should they raffle it now and give away mag pouch, if that is all the current draw amount is worth? No one operates that way.

2) Are the items too cheap (low interest), too expensive (slower to gain numbers)... Or too boring? Aka, not sexy enough.

3) Nevermind. I looked it up, and bought 2 tickets for 45.00. On the Italian 30-30.

You litterally CHOOSE which raffle tickets you want that are still available. Hence #7 and #72.

...With ALL of your details being attached to it.

All I see are sour grapes from a slow sale.

Maybe the store/employees suck at selling them.

Maybe no one is as interested in them as you and I.

If you want to see any validity, maybe buy all the tickets and check to see if there is a draw. If nothing happens after a week, I will gladly acknowledge your point and raise hell with you.

Has nothing to do with protecting big lotto, any small business can run a raffle but they still need to abide by the regulations, its to protect consumers.

Their raffle has been live since 2025 and they havent even sold 50% of the tickets, could be a year (or never) until the draw. Its not really fair to anyone who has paid for a ticket especially when they dont make any effort to disclose that info on the sales page
