“Classic had ammo listed that I purchased. Received tracking and they then recalled the package due to incorrectly pricing the item.”

“Extremely slow shipping. Ridiculous”

“Wish I could rate lower than One Star. I paid an extra $50 for ‘Hand Select’ for 2 IBM Carbines. I received one IBM and one National Postal Meter. The Postal Meter carbine was the best by far and that is damning faint praise. Apparently ‘Hand Select’ means pull the Worst Available at Classic Firearms. There was rust on the parkerizing, the barrels were freckled with absolutely No Finish whatsoever. One of the carbines that I was shipped was even missing the magazine.. To top it off, I am out $50+, on return shipping & insurance, another $50, for FFL transfer fees. Classic Firearms then had the Cahones to retain $50, on one carbine and $75 on the 2nd carbine of my refund for the initial purchase ($125 total). Why ? They said to cover initial shipping and insurance. Finally, when I asked about it, Classic ‘Customer Service’ told me that they were being ‘Generous’. I should’ve read all the reviews on this place and I would still have $225, of my money. I have since bought 2 each, very nice carbines on Gunbroker that I could see pics of pre-purchase. Don’t Deal with Classic Firearms unless you Love long shot gambling.”

“Ordered six (6) RWB magazines for a glock 9mm but upon opening the first package it was so tight the mag could NOT even be forced into the grip frame. Opened 2 more and they were all too tight to insert into the pistol. By the time I called Classic Firearms they informed me that the return window had passed and they would not take the item back and provide a refund. FIRST, Save yourself the hassle of working with a vendor such as CLASSIC FIREARMS and order your stuff from reputable online dealers. SECOND, avoid the RWD mags as the don't work in the Glock frames anyway. The money I saved on getting this cheaper option just went into the trash....share this with your shooting buddies! RWB mags and CLASSIC FIREARMS are both low rung companies - avoid like the PLAGUE !!!!!”

“Nada in stock. What’s the point. Someone told me to check them out. Sadly as mentioned, “Nada in stock”. Moving on...”

“They had a sweepstakes (3/31/22) and apparently two Claude W. entered and one won. The odds of two people with the same name as Claude, as well as, having the same last name initial of W. have got to be greater than winning the sweepstakes itself! Their customer support just blew me off with generic, scripted answers and couldn't acknowledge the fact that this was an extremely odd situation. This is not a case of being a sore loser. It does, however, look like a scam! Two Claude W. (In 2022) entering the same sweepstakes for a firearm. That has got to be bigger odds than winning the sweepstakes! I see now why they have a 2 star rating! Buyer beware!”

“I couldn't believe what I was seeing on the 1st item on their brochure. Do they have their heads up their ass on what's going on in the world. The Russians are invading and killing innocent people and children. WAR CRIMINALS Trash those Russian Products. I won't buy from them for that reason but also look at all the other reviews at 1 STAR so, it doesn't surprise me.”

“I purchased two 308 magazines for my Vepr super, was told they would fit. Waited on the magazines, got them in and long behold they don’t fit the gun. Went thru the return route, and ultimately lost 27$ in the process with nothing to show. Now 27$ isn’t a lot, but more about the principal for me. Told it would work, doesn’t work and still lose out on my money. Would give 0 stars if possible, will not use this company again.”

“First time purchase from Classic Firearms. Was disappointed. The rifle was advertised as "NRA surplus good" which I found isn't even a rating. They added the word surplus to likely cover for the poor condition of the arms, as the inside of the gun was moderately rusted. They basically said too bad, they don't look inside the guns before determining the condition. They also advertised "no re-import markings" even though the arm clearly was import marked upon receipt. When confronted on this, they claimed it wasn't marked twice, as in re-imported to the US a second time, never mentioning it had original import markings on it. Deceitful advertising.”

“I ordered couple of Ruger mags and did not receive them following tracking. I was home all day and their shipper Fedex said it was delivered. Classic says that's the end of that and they will do nothing. We have all seen in the news Fedex divers dumping their packages into a ravine. Now I'm out $100.00 and have filed a claim with my bank. Classic told me to file police report and to provide "proof" my package was not delivered. Really?”

“Ordered a metal sks magazine recently the magazine does not come close to fitting my gun, the plastic tapco mags comes closer. by far the most i have ever paid for a sks mag and by far the worst fitting. customer service say i will have to pay a credit card fee and a restocking fee. buyer beware this company is make good money on awful inferior products. lesson learned will never use this company again, should have looked t company reviews before dealing with them”

“Placed an order of 9mm ammo, 1000 rds/2 large boxes, and it was received on time, but then the fun began. I have to collect the shipment out of state, but the delay has no bearing on the quality of shipping preparation, and THAT is the sole responsibility of ClassicFirearms. The packages were not sealed to ship the weight. First, they were the manufacturer’s boxes, so contents were displayed for the world to see. Second, paper tape was used to "reseal" the boxes, and had not been moistened to adhere. What a joke. Third, one box had been tampered with, it had been resealed with clear tape over the paper tape (that got stuck inside under the opened flap), and a 50 round box was missing. Notified customer service and was supposedly working with Jay, but after all the pictures and communication, was essentially brushed off and told “tough luck”. He said “too late to file a claim with the shipper”. No, not the true issue. If you had packaged properly, my order would have arrived intact and no claim needed. When the email came on what I thought of their service, I told them straight up, it was bad, including all details. They never saw fit to contact me, or make any type of adjustment for the stolen ammo or my trouble. For the value of my order, I thought they would have wanted to keep a customer, but they made it clear that all they cared about was the money and service be damned. I won’t make a second mistake with them.”

“I ordered a scope for almost 1500 dollars from Classic Firearms with insurance back in November. Item was shipped but never delivered. I called and made a claim with fedex to let know package was misplaced. 1 hour after it said it was delivered. I emailed classic firearms since they were closed. They told me they couldn’t handle the claim because they ordered it 3rd party from a different warehouse. So according to them. Which I believe. They emailed this warehouse and told them to follow up with FedEx. I spoke with fedex several times and they stated they had no geotag scan of the box near my house. They even sent a driver to my house and he said he didn’t recollect a deliver to me. Well a few days after that a claims manager from fedex called me and said fed ex said that the package is considered lost but the shipper had to file the proper paperwork to make claim. I called C. firearms back and told them. For several months I have been following up with Fedex and they even called me that nobody has reached out to them and there was a statue of limitations for the claim. Well classic firearms now tells me the claim has been closed and financed thru Credova. So now I owe thousands and everyone else got paid . Classic firearms never followed up to me with one call or anything. I had to keep calling them and they never once called me. 1500 is no joke. I didn’t order a 30 part. I even enclosed a screen shot of the fedex voicemail stated it was not found and was lost. The claims department rep who called had a very heavy accent so my iPhone didn’t get everything he was saying. But this order was made in Mid November and it’s now Feb and I have nothing. This is completely terrible service to order third party then not stand behind your order. No calls back just 1-2 emails in very beginning.”

“These people don't know what there talking about and their customer service reps are rude and contradict themselves in emails. Stay away!!! There are more reputable sellers out there who don't bombard you with daily emails pimping what the have to sell. Sorry I couldn't rate them less than a one star.”

“Stay away. Beware of this company before you spend you hard earning money. I received two defected magazines which are out of spec and or not it being describe on the company's WEBSITE. These are the reason forcing me to return both of them. Even the issue is on their product. I still have to pay once for them shipping me defected products and then again to return them. The company also did not return the sales taxes that I paid in full. For some reason, my review and comments of the product on the WEBSITE was deleted which may be this reason why most their product sold on there WEBSITE have many stars. Got zero response from Customer Service since I brought bring the issue to the service department. Hope this help.”
