Sportsman's Warehouse site wrong

[bearcatter]

The website shows quite a bit of ammo as being in store when it's not. I was at the store yesterday and checked the site when I got home a few minutes later. I sent them a message about it with no reply yet. Site is still wrong today. It's only two miles away, but what if I was a customer that trusted the site and drove 30-40 miles?

I've been looking for 32 with their buy online and pick up at store policy. Now I don't trust that, or in stock at store listing.

When a website says something is supposed to be at any store, try to verify it by phone or whatever.

  Bear you just summed up the whole internet with what you said . A lot of these outfits ,no matter what they sell , don't order from the manufacturer till they get the order or even worse they wait till they get a number of orders till they place their orders . Some places haven't even seen the items they are selling , just go between middle men  .. May the buyer beware , especially now with the internet being its own fault .

True that...we buy all our ammo, and everything else, in person...I've seen a little .32 (both acp and revolver rounds) a smidgen more frequently the past six months, and I've been eyeing the revolver ammo as we thinking about acquiring a .32 h&r or .327 magnum...

With modern electronic inventory control, if you see something like "3 items on shelf" or other small #s, unless it is something normally kept in a locked case, then you can pretty much bet they're "ghosts in the machine" of inventory that was long since shop-lifted.

In your case, you state that they supposedly have "quite a bit" showing as in stock, in which case you should have spoken to a manager at the time and had him go round up the inventory the employees had set aside in the back for themselves [this was a major problem @ WalMart back during the ammo drought we suffered in the Obama administration(s)...]

IDK if they still do, but even Ruger used to do that -  "introduce" a new model, and test the demand waters prior to actually making whatever in volume.

I had that issue when they first introduced their Gold Label  SxS shotgun, placing a 100% deposit on my order, then having to retrieve my deposit after waiting 18 months with no result.
