FWIW I don't have anything against DeadAir suppressors. I only own 1 a Wolfman 9mm, and it's fine and have a nomad ti currently in jail. I do have problems with **** CS though. Recently tried to take advantage of 300$ hush money promo (one of the many promos going on to try and sell as many cans before Jan 1). I figured 300 off another can would pay for the tax stamp and beat the rush on this one. My dealer had the can coming in normal restock order the next week. I purchased can on October 31, the last day of the promotion. I went online to submit for promo- and it asks for form 4 submission number- what???? all over the site it states cans must be purchased by October 31- nothing about form 4 submission ( I have all the screenshots of the online promo to prove it). I contact CS at DeadAir and state that since my dealer uses SilencerShop for paperwork- the form 4 submission timing is on SilencerShop, I cant submit until they process- they proceeded to take 2 weeks for just that (longer than I have ever had them take). Anyway- after 2 weeks of back and forth and the escalation of my CS complaint, and "we normally wouldn't do this, but just this one time we are going to do you a favor" I finally received the promo code. Code is supposedly good through Jan., So today I am deciding what other can (this time with no tax stamp being post Jan 1) I should order. Call my dealer- they have not heard of promo and don't know how to apply discount. Get back a hold of DeadAir and they state it's only good for "accessories" not suppressors. Wait... so I can get 300$ or your overpriced merchandise, but not off a can??? yep... that's the deal. My bad for not reading the page 12 fine print is what CS told me. I say- why do you have or need page 12 fine print? Anyway- that's my story. I feel spreading the word on the ever lacking CS is all I can do. Personally won't buy another can from them- too many other good/better options.
 
Absolutely, would rather just not deal with a company that is blatantly trying to fool ya.

But.. I got 4 yeti tumblers instead of 300$ off a can. Tits!!

Best.. if you order over 100$ on site it's free shipping- unless you are using a promo or gift card- then pay full shipping
 
What Sir was clearly stated in promo- I figured Deadair products included Deadair suppressors. I was not looking for a rebate or cash back
 
They're better than they used to be. I ordered a couple cans through a rep on their pro program or whatever they call it several years ago. One of them went smoothly. The other was a stressful wreck. It was supposedly shipped, the rep also confirmed it had shipped, but my dealer never got it. I tried to contact them for months to no avail. Then the rep quit returning my calls. Rolled into another year, I decided to give them a ring. Couldn't believe it, but someone answered. I was told the atf never approved the dealer to dealer transfer. Oddly enough it showed up to my dealer a week later. I was convinced it was stolen in transit.

Never again, I decided whatever discount they gave me wasn't worth the hassle.
 
I agree with the OP. I have a Nomad that I am very pleased with but I had a deal with the hush money promo also. I realize that Dead Air did nothing wrong in my case but it still irks me. I actually bought my Nomad on the last day of September (a day before the promo started) but didn't submit the form 4 until after Oct 1st (when the promo started). In the meantime I noticed the promo and submitted my receipt and form 4 submission and the promo was immediately declined due to the purchase date. In Dead Air's credit, after I plead my case to them, they issued me a 25% one-time discount. I ended up ok in this since I didn't purchase during the timeframe but dang it.
 
Boy, life it hard...
I know- first world problem for sure. But… I think most would agree that customer service excellence is rare, honesty in business is rare, treating customers like you appreciate they are buying your **** is rare. It was not always like that.
Why not call it out? Unless you have better idea, or like the way it is currently.
