Juniata Trading Company does not hold to their word on pricing even after they take your money. In my experience, I wanted to purchase two identical rifles. The representative researched the price of the gun and gave me a price of $629.99. I then paid Juniata 500 dollars per gun (a total of $1000) on layaway. They printed me a receipt with the price of the guns and said they would call me when the gun came in.
When the first gun came in, I went to the store expecting to pay what I owed on layaway for one of the guns (629.99 total). However, they upped the price on the first gun another 50 bucks so now I had to pay 679.99. Keep in mind I already had a receipt for how much the gun cost and already paid 500 dollars on it. I didn't give them too much grief even though I thought it was poor business practice to up prices that already are agreed upon, especially to loyal customers.
However, when the second gun came in they decided they would rather make more money off of another customer than to honor their deal with a current customer. They called me and said the other gun was in, so I went in to pick up the second gun and pay the remainder of the layaway. However, since the Newtown shootings the price they can make off of this particular gun went up. So when I went in to pick up the item, they decided they would not honor the sale they had made to me, but instead they gave me back my layaway money and put an exorbitant price on the gun.
Poor businesses practices all around, made by selfish individuals that just care about making money. Too bad they are too greedy to realize that loyal customers and a good reputation is what will keep them in business. This high price gun craze will subside and they will be left...
Read moreVery dissapointed. bought a model 16 savage in the 308 cal. apprx. 3 years ago was shooting the gun 2 days prior to opening day for hunting when it started misfiring apprx. 50% of the time.( was not the ammo) had to do something so i took it back to juniata trading hoping they would try to either resolve the issue or possibly do a trade , well they looked at it for a sec, took it out back to fire it ( which it took 2 ppl to do because the first guy somehow jammed the bolt in the half way position super hard, ( had never done that before ) but after finally getting it unjammed they fired 2 shots with it ) came back inside and said because of what the gun did they could only offer me a very minamal amount for the gun due to it not working right so basically they sold me a 550 dollar gun that had issues from the start and would not stand behind it at all so i had no choice but to buy a new gun ( which they charged me 100% full price ) so yeah very very poor in trying to satisfy the customer, i bought 4 guns there already and i have family and friends that shop there all the time but now that is about to change, i thought this place was a customer first place, but now i know its just the opposite i wil deff not be going there anymore for any...
