Discount Hunting and Fishing, Flowood - BEWARE
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 5:17 pm
I normally don't do this but I am pissed right now and decided I would share. Plus I promised this guy that I would share this experience with as many people as possible and he told me to please do so. So here it is:
First: my son has a Diamond Razors Edge and he is ready to move up to the 30-60 lb limbs. I talked to Bass Pro and they would have to send it off to have the limbs changed and they recommended finding a bow shop that is a factory bow tech dealer because they can change them without sending them off. So the closest dealer is Discount Hunting and Fishing in Flowood. So I took it out there last Tuesday. After being criticized for buying it at Bass Pro, I asked how much it would cost. I told him that Bass Pro had told me the limbs were $50 plus shipping and he acted like I was stupid and said "no they aren't. If you would like I will call and find out". Well Duh, that's why I asked. He acted like it was the end of the world then comes
back after about 5 mins and says they are $85. I said fine, how much you charge to put them on, he said I am not charging anything to put them on. I said, ok, how long will it take? He said "depends on what I have going on" which I completely understand, after all, I did make him un-prop his feet off the counter in order to help me, it was obvious he was really busy. Then I rephrased the question and finally got him to say they usually take about a week. Ok.
Next: I was looking at some tannerite and he started telling me about it. The guy behind the gun counter was listening and began to tell me how he used it on beaver dams and the bow guy goes "well I was about to tell him that but I guess you are beating me to it". I thought, man that was rude and I never heard another word he said after that cause I was in complete amazement that someone would act like this guy did.
Today: I call to check on the bow, And he said "I haven't seen the limbs yet". I said "ok, is there anyway we can track them to find out when they will get here". He says. "sir, we've had a hurricane and a holiday in there, I'm sure that has delayed them". I said (sarcastically) "ok, I was just curious if we could get an idea of when to expect it, I didn't mean to insult you by asking that question, have a good day". And I hung up. That's where it gets good. He called me back and called me "a smartass". I think I was the customer but obviously that doesn't matter to this guy. He then told me to come get the bow cause he doesn't want or need customers like me. I'm thinking, you mean customers who call to check on their stuff or who like to know how much they are spending ahead of time??
I never hear about anyone doing much business with this guy, but I would encourage all of you to never go in that store, the guy is a total jerk.
