RFD charges....

Had a good experience with a gun shop or rifle maker? Found a good deal? Tell us about it. Had a bad experience, TELL THE GUN SHOP!

Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

It is a bit weird how PF operates, the price paid per parcel is down to when one opened an account. I know of people within the trade paying less than a tenner per parcel...it has nothing to do with volume.
its also how near you are to a main hub ..

I did not realise that. Our charges did not change when we moved to Lincolnshire and distance to hub is quite a bit different. Do you have an account with PF?
