[mod.rec.guns] Cherokee: DON'T BUY

jkh@jade.UUCP (01/31/87)

A little consumer activism:  I ordered
an HK 91 magazine release and buffer from
Cherokee Gun Accessories in Freemont, CA,
on November 21.  In spite of my writing to
the president of the company on January 7,
I still do not have the merchandise or even
a post card with an estimated delivery date.
 
This is not the first time that Cherokee
has not sent the good within the 30-day
time limit established by the Federal Trade
Commission.  In 1982, I waited 6 weeks before
threatening to contact the Postal Inspector.
The threat got me delivery.  This time, I
was nice and did not mention the PI.
Too bad for Cherokee, because now I am
filing a formal complaint with the Postal Inspector.

I am really angry with supply outfits who seem
to take advantage of the unspoken "code" 
that gun owners should never complain to
the "authorities" when they get cheated.

Has anyone else had trouble with Cherokee?
