Just wanted to share my latest experience with walmart and overstock.com.
Recently I was given a Gift Card to walmart for my birthday so I decided that since I was fully stocked up on Ramen Noddles and Easy Mac, I would check out what type of Optics they had for my AK. We all know that the store selection they have is usually crap, so I checked out their website, and to my surprise they had multiple reflex's that caught my eye. After doing a little research, I decided on the Bushnell TRX red dot reflex. I have heard rumors that these perticular reflex's had a bad wrap for not being able to withstand prolonged recoil of larger calibers, and that it could not live up to the heat of my ultimak mounted on my AK. I contacted bushnell, and they said they weren't aware of any issues like this and offered full service if i had any problems. Fair enough. I went ahead and did the expedited shipping because I am extremely impatient, and was eager to test this out and write up a performance review on how it worked out. To my surprise this is what showed up in the mail 3 days later. The package had been Re-taped together, and when I opened it, I had a hard time taking the removable cover off. Turns out someone super-glued a bad optic, which doesn't even appear to be the same Bushnell one, back together. The actual glass was missing, as long as a few screws and the cap was cracked from someone else trying to pry it off before me. And for the icing on the cake, the whole package was shipped to me in a Wounded Warrior Project box. I tried taking it to my local Walmart to show them this crap that they had sent me, and the manager on duty told me they could not issue me a refund because the website used a third party to order from, and would have to contact overstock.com to sort out the issue. Now I had to wait for them to email me a shipping label to send the package back, and I will receive a full refund in 7-10 business days. Thanks Walmart.com and Overstock.com for this lovely experience. Looks like its more Ramen Noodles for me, and an optic-less ak for a few more weeks....
