Buy recommendations Any actual good experiences with FOC?

As the title states, has anyone actually had any good experiences with Firearms Outlet Canada? Getting back into the sport after several years of hiatus. I’ve been to their old store and had a pretty piss poor interaction with them. They act like everything you ask is a chore and it’s a privilege to be buying from them.

Thought I would try them again since they’re 5 min from my folks place. Called to ask to price match a $30 difference on a rifle and was told they only price match Ontario stores. Then I asked if I pick it up can I get a few bucks off from shipping savings since they offer free shipping over $500 (yes my order was over $500) and was also told no.

Naturally I ordered my rifle from another reputable shop online.

So let’s follow this through, you called in and were informed of store policy on price matching, then were told that their shipping price which is likely dictated by Canada Post or UPS Is the price, and now are mad?

Yeah big loss in a customer for FOC it sounds like, doubtful they’ll be able to keep the lights on this quarter without you….

Not mad. And no, I asked if I could take the cost of shipping off of the rifle if I picked up in store. So it would cost the store the same amount in the end if I chose to get it shipped versus not.

Takes time out of day to post on Reddit about how feelings were hurt by dealing with a small business and bitching about their existence, yet is not “mad”.

That’s a full Redditor
