Just curious about what others think about this situation.
Just prior to us going into pandemic mode, I paid a visit to a couple of local gun shops here in Honolulu and I ended up ordering
a pistol from one of them. Paid with my credit card, which shows the transaction was completed and went on my merry way. The
following day, I believe, the governor made the announcement and the beginning of the "lockdown" on Oahu commenced. Since then,
(middle of March), I have been unable to contact the shop for a status update. No response to calls or text messages. I understand
that this is an extraordinary time for a small business, but it has been almost a month. Under normal circumstances I would have
cancelled my order and and called my credit card company, but again I understand that things are far from normal. Anyone else in
a similar situation?

Is the expectation for comms in that month? That’s a very reasonable expectation. However, like mentioned above, I know a couple LGSs that have mentioned they aren’t answering calls since they’ve gotten slammed with calls. One posted on social media.
Yeah, I think that communication is a reasonable expectation even under extraordinary circumstances. Just a status update.
I do understand that things are not exactly normal right now.
Have you tried going to the store to speak with one of the employees in person? I believe that all LGS are still operating. You'd probably get at least a half answer (which I guess is better than no answer). I wonder what LGS you went to.... hmmmmm....
Didn't want to have to drive in to town just to find out that nobody is there. It's about a 45 minute drive from the west side
even with no traffic. If I had another reason to go to town I would surely at least do a drive thru to see if the shop is open.
What gun shop is this. I know there’s a few of them that are not answering their phones due to high volume of calls and telling customers to email.
Maybe you can go down to see if they are open
I appreciate the responses folks and if I had to make a trip in to town for any other reason, I would certainly consolidate as many trips as I could under
the circumstances. Other than a lack of communication, nobody has done anything wrong, so I will withhold any mention of the LGS name for a bit.
If things go south I will give a full update and if things turn out well I will also do an update.
I am still curious as to whether or not anyone else is having a similar experience. Take care everybody and Happy Easter to you all.
