So AirgunRevisions doesn't accept Gift Cards.

There is a way to take those cash cards and tie them to your personal info such as address so they are digitally just like a credit card. I’ve done it in the past although I couldn’t begin to explain how it was done as it was too long ago. Yes over the phone might be a problem but they can be used online and look just like any credit card.

Chief,
You failed to tell us about your credit/gift card address conflict.
The address conflict changes everything!
As an online business owner, Ive personally discovered that this a popular scam, and only a smart business would catch, and deny that sale.

A shady buyer can and will use a gift card, and attempt to have the merchandise shipped to a different address. Once the merchandise is received, the shady buyer files a "chargeback", and 99% of the tme, the shady buyer gets to keep the merchandise, and the merchant is out 100% of the cost of goods, and shipping. The shady buyer is often not required to return the goods. Its a loop hole that shady thieves have discovered. And if a business accepts credit cards, its a genuine threat, and it is actually disclosed in the very fine details of the user agreement. So AirgunRevisions did the right thing in this case, in my opinion.

most online merchants on higher end purchase's hold their product until the credit process if finalized/cleared (days) in my experiences.

There is nearly always "the rest of the story" that a complainer won't mention.

Truly a first-world problem.

Kudos to Rich. Dealing with the spoilt public on a daily basis must be very tiring. The attempt to smear a respected vendor is revolting, IMHO.
Who is old enough to remember mail order catalogs from the 60's and 70's? 6-8 weeks at least to get your Ovaltine decoder ring. Now the brats want stuff overnight and want to be treated as Royalty or they're gonna run to the Internet to leave a bad review. SMH.

You have an Ovaltine Decoder Ring?
How cool!

Chief, if thats the only thing negative going on in your life, then I envy you.....

I have a small group of miscreants actively trying to destroy my wife's (and a handful of other artists) career going on two years now, have had 2 legitimate death threats levied against us in that time and August 20 of this year my house was destroyed in a windstorm.

Use the gift cards to buy gas, groceries or whatever, and just buy the gun with funds you know the vendor will take.

AGR is a top notch vendor and one of the few who will call you up and talk to you, in fact, talk so long that your ear hurts but you want to stay on because you are learning things you did not know .
