I'm planning on braving the masses in the morning; noticed Dick's has a coupon for buy one-get one 1/2 price for ammo with a limit of 6 boxes. When I was in Dick's last, I didn't notice a gun counter. Did i overlook this, or are they like Walmart with their firearms stuff?

Unless they closed it down, it use to be right by the ammo

 

[jbpmidas]

The one in Tupelo carries long guns.

 

[redirn5]

If layouts are about the same, the one in D'Iberville has the gun counter in the back left corner

its the same at the flowood store, dont know about the madison store(if its open yet)

 

[RKpianoman]

actually, the madison store was the one i was wondering about most; it's open, but when i went, I was just running in and out to buy a jacket. I didn't get a chance to look around.

well, i've got my coupon ready and alarm clock set, wish me luck.

 

[jbpmidas]

How'd you do?

 

[Rw]

He is probably still in traffic :funny:

 

[RKpianoman]

The savings weren't spectacular. They have a box of Rem UMC 9mm on sale for 11.99, or you could buy a box at 14.99 and get the second at 7.49. I picked up 6 boxes at a cost of 22 cents a round, so, really not much of a deal going on there.

However, traffic was really light before 0600, and except for the big box stores, crowds weren't bad at all.

Glad you found a deal. The one on lakeland doesn't carry pistol ammo that I've ever found. And they don't really carry much of any other type of ammo. That must be a decent store out there

 

[RKpianoman]

oh, this was the lakeland store; I didn't want to risk going to the Madison one and wasting my time if they didn't have ammo. The pistol ammo is all locked up behind the gun counter out of sight.

That explains it cuz I can't get anyone behind the counter to pay any attention while I'm there so I just don't bother asking for it

 

[surehuntsalot]

Dick's Sporting Goods is a big joke when it comes to guns and ammo in their stores

 

[shoeshooter]

I work across the street from the Flowood store, been in there once. 'Nuff said.

 

[Tuco]

Don't know when you got to Dick's in Flowood but when I was there to get some .223 they still had the sale price of $7.98 per box tag out. I thought what a deal. Except when I got to the counter they rang up the regular $9.99 price for three of the boxes. When I asked one of the manager sabout it he said we can't do that and had someone pull the sale sign. Of course he was to busy chewing someone out over his head set to care about me. Naturally the register would not ring the sale price and 50% off up. I found them to be very unhelpful and will not patronize them again. I sent an email complaint, it will be interesting to see what kind of response I get.

 

[captain-03]

Bought a couple things there in the past .... however, I have not had much of a reason to go back there ....

 

[RKpianoman]

Tuco, I had the same problem. I was about the 8th customer in the store, and the second at the gun counter. The 9mm was still marked at 11.99 (normally 14.99). The associate at the gun counter said i would get 11.99, and then half off of that for the 2nd box. The manager said that he couldn't give me that discount, and I politely told him to get his ducks in a row. Still got a decent price though, and i had fun shooting it.

Big waste of time for me. I am very disappointed in Dicks.

I think this appropriate to this thread.

Letter I wrote to Dick’s Tupelo Store March 27, 2010.

_____________________________(quote)
This past week you ran an ad that included some ammunition: “Ultramax Bulk Pack – 9mm 250rd - $49.98”. Nowhere in the ad was there mention of limited supplies.

Today, I drove up to your store, a 35 mile drive, to purchase the advertised 9mm. I arrived about 1PM this afternoon. I went directly to the appropriate counter and waited, and waited. Finally I went back to the greeter at the door and asked if anyone was working that counter. She said she’s get someone.

And I waited and waited some more.

By the time a salesperson arrived customers were lined up all along the counter.

I showed the salesperson your ad and he glanced over the counter to the shelf in back and said, “We’re all sold out”. And that was that. Nada. No more.

I think that’s pretty sad that you do not sufficiently stock what you advertise. I think it sad that no effort was made to try to get the product for me.

I guess that sort of gives a hint(?) of my opinion of Dick’s.

 

[Ed Hunter]

Well, might as well beat Dick’s to death.

You’ve seen my letter to Dick’s from this past March posted above.

Here’s the rest of the story.

I never had a reply from the Dick’s in Tupelo.

So I emailed Dick’s Corporate, sending them a copy of my letter to the Dick’s in Tupelo with the message, “See the copy of a letter dated 3/27/10 to Dick’s in Tupelo that I have pasted below. I have never had the first reply/acknowledgement. I guess that tends to underline the value Dick’s in Tupelo places on its customer base.”

As I recall I got a standard reply from Dick’s Corporate and a worthless (at least to me) coupon.

Things haven’t changed at the Tupelo store. Service continues to be poor.

Was up there in the past 4 weeks to buy another gun safe for expansion (only ‘cause they had the best buy on what I wanted at that time) and service was close to non-existent.
