[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2801607, member: 69192"] I had the same issue with Arkin, only it was in November of last year. Their new line of scopes came out, my son wanted to try one of their lower powered scopes. The delivery time was 4-6 weeks. I figured this would make a great Christmas present, and…4-6 weeks was going to be tight, but figured that I could squeak it in just before Christmas. Well 4-6 weeks turned into a nightmare!! I called customer service and got outgoing messages telling me to leave a number and I’d get a return call; that never happened!!! Finally got a reply through email, again 2-3 weeks on the delivery!! Still nothing but another 2-3 weeks into this mess. And…my credit card had been charged the day after I placed the order in November!! In February I still got the same story it 2-3 weeks on the scope coming in. I was pretty well PO and told them via email that I wanted to cancel the order and wanted a refund. I didn’t hear anything from the company for a couple of days so I called my credit card company and disputed the charges. The credit card company said they attempted to contact Arkin, but did not get a response, so they canceled the charges for the scope!! The very next day I received confirmation that the money for the scope had been refunded, and it had. So that left another mess because I’d already received the refund from the credit card company!!! So I let Arkin and my credit card company figure it out. Because if this experience I refuse to do anything with Arkin. Between my son and I we have 4-5 Arkin scopes of various powers and we like them. We have a safe full of rifles with Leupold scopes on them. After reading the reviews we thought that we’d try them as a less expensive scope for our plinking rifles. The reviews were good and the scopes are grand the adjustments do as they should and they do reliably return to zero. I find the Christmas tree reticle a bit busy for me, and find that the center of the reticle can get lost in it. But… I refuse to do business with Arkin because of the treatment that I received with my last transaction with them. [/QUOTE]
