21. Product Advertisements, Illustrations, Stock Descriptions & Availability
All website images are for guidance only and may not represent an exact match to colour or wood type or patterns etc and unless otherwise stated within the item's specific advertised description no accessories, such as, (but not limited to) telescopic sights, mounts, slings, moderators & bipods etc are included in the advertised price for the primary item.
Not all items illustrated on our website are always in stock, this is due to limitations of availability to us and is beyond our control, we endeavour to keep in stock a representative selection of products from all of the manufacturers we trade with but cannot guarantee that all items remain in stock at all times. Some items are 'special orders' which often results in prolonged delivery times. These times vary depending on the supplier and place of manufacture and are beyond our control. Due to current supply chain issues with most manufacturers & distributors orders of non-stock items may have an unspecified delivery time.
22. Gift Voucher Purchases
Shop & range shooting vouchers are to be redeemed within 6-months from the date of purchase. Shop vouchers can only be redeemed in the shop and range shooting vouchers at the range.
23. Shooting Experience & Training Course Cancelation Policy.
Once you have placed a booking and pre-paid for your chosen experience you will receive a confirmation email. Should you need to cancel or reschedule your original booking please allow at least 48-hours to do so to allow us to endeavour to reschedule staffing levels or accommodate any agreed changes. Failure to provide at least 48-hours’ notice will result in a cancellation or amendment fee of £25.00 per person. If you have given us at least 48 hours’ notice a 90% refund will be issued.
If you booked your shooting experience with us through a 3rd-party provider such as (but not limited to) Experience Days or Groupon etc and we cannot open that particular day due to staff shortages or other reasons beyond our control, then you may not receive notice of any unplanned closures from us or the 3-party booking agent. We will however be able to reschedule the experience to a new date and time.
Notes
* Items likely to be delivered to us and shipped within 3-months of purchase.
** Items likely to be delivered to us that take longer than 3-months are deemed as a ‘Special Order’ such as anything (but not limited to) items outside of the supplier’s catalogue EG barrel length, stock configuration and calibres etc. This is because Rifleman Firearms is liable for the resale cost of such bespoke items.
