I ordered 2 additional ones after the first one and I just came back from filling out the paperwork. The finish looks really good - much smoother than the photo. I'm thinking about grabbing 2 more "just in case" if they let me.
I talked to the owner earlier this week and she was cool with doing transfers to another FFL. If you want to cancel the transaction altogether it's going to cost you 15% of the full purchase price plus a $75 paperwork processing fee.
Yes, that is their cancellation policy. I'm not sure what the transfer fee is to send it to a better FLL but I'll find out later this month if they haven't changed their release policy by then.
They told me 15% of the purchase price plus $75. I'm not sure if the remaining balance is refunded as cash or store credit.
My latest purchase with them was in June so I likely won't see it until Christmas at best.
I must be the luckiest guy on this forum because the paperwork I filled out on the 19th came back on the 20-something (I forgot the exact date). I was in the shop this weekend browsing and figured I'd ask for just for the heck of it and I was good to go.
Sometimes you win.
