One of my favorite online shops

"Been shopping at buds for quite a few years and have always been satisfied. Bought ammo, several firearms, gift cards, done layaways and they've all gone smoothly. Would definitely recommend them. "

Thought I was ordering from store front, but turns out it was online order

"I thought I was ordering from store front, but turns out it was online. Working in Utah for work for DOD. I ordered online and paid with ACH and it took so long for Buds to confirm my Deposit which is instantaneous and I could confirm from my USAA account that it had posted. So I ordered from an email sale and paid on April 19 and I was home on Sat. April 27 and order not ready. I call them and the store front doesn't have the guns in stock. Hard for me to believe from a gun shop that has them advertised for sale. I get back to work on Monday April 29 and get an email says my order is ready and they will only hold my purchased weapons for 4 weeks when I'm allowed to come home from my job protecting the USA. Really, I would even be willing to pay for a storage fee, but no I have to pay a 10% restocking fee. Buds should put a pick up date when you order so people can plan pick up. Every other online shop gives you and estimated shipment date. I paid cash and even if there was a waiting until it was processed they should have sent items that were on sale to store front instead of waiting 5 days for no reason. Great customer service will probably never buy here again, and will advise all my gun buying friends to buy elsewhere. PS I have purchased many items here previously and will go elsewhere even if I have to spend more to have better customer service.

A rep from Bud's Gun Shop, BudsCS, has responded:

“We do apologize for any inconvenience. Our online inventory is separate from our retail store location. Where you did purchase online that means the order was pulled from our online inventory. When you pay using an ACH it does take 5 full business days to clear into our account.
Our standard processing time is 3-7 business days, your order was shipped and received to the FFL by the 6th business day. ”
