I hope you buy everything face-to-face from private individuals then. Because that ATF background check form that you fill out with your name, drivers' license number and the gun's serial number would be more damning than using a credit card for the purchase.

I brought my Glock from Bud's good price and good service. I wasnt surprised to see the extra 3%. I dont know how you ordered but I ordered on their website and it gives you 3 different options and it tells you the additional cost you'd have to play.

Just got back from Buds, picked up the only gun I have bought in probably 1o or 12 years that I didnt buy from them... Romanian HMG AK from Classic but still had it sent to buds. Not because it was cheaper but Bud actually didnt have one at the moment

If it makes you feel any better, they are the same looking across the counter as on the net, if I buy with a credit card, I pay more than I would with cash. I can understand where you are coming from though

Gun dealers are the only ones that think they can get 3% more out of you for credit cards.

I have bought 4 guns from Buds. They were all a better deal than I could find local - even with the transfer and credit card price. The guns were always as advertised and trouble free.

I'm not saying the guys weren't nice to deal with but if you post 477 delivered on your page then thats what I expect to pay.

You could have paid 477 delivered if you sent in a money order.

Next time try CDNN. They only charge $9.99 for shipping and do not tax on extra fees for credit cards
I just bought a Sig 225 from them today, paid with my Visa (did hav to pay TX tax cuz i live here and they are based here)but still.
I was LITERALY on the phone with them for only 4 minutes!...easy peasy

i got my XD9SC from buds at a gun show and paid 440$ out the door with my credit card no sales tax or 3%. then there was the 10$ to get in the show.

I've bought several from Buds's. Fast, friendly service!. Even with shipping, 3% CC charge, and FFL transfer I've saved $50-$100 on every purchase compared to local prices.
