Bad experiences with TGA in Knoxville

[Guest gatorman44]

Has anyone every ordered from TacticalGunArmory.com out of Knoxville?

Just wanted to know if anyone has had any bad experiences.

[Guest m&pc9]

Ive never heard of them. I saw they had a po box for an address. If I can do anything to help just pm me. I live in the Knoxville area.

[Guest gatorman44]

I am being told now that their website is not reliable and that I should stay away. Thanks for your reply!

I checked into them about getting a LCP. I called from 9 till 12 & it was busy evertime. At 12 on the nose till 1 it would ring then you would get a message stating it was the lunch hour & call back at 1. Guess what at 12:59 I called rang till the recorder picked up & I hung up & called back. Now it was busy again till around 3 I finally got through.

Heres how the conversation went.

Me-- I was wanting to now if you have any LCP,s instock

Them-- Nope theyre on backorder dont really know when we will have any.

Do you have any type of waiting list?

Nope & when we do get 1 it normally fills a backorder?

So whats the best way to go about ordering 1 & how many orders would be ahead of mine? Also if I order online do you charge my card immediatly or when my order comes up?

Just order online I dont have a clue how many have been ordered or how many are in front of you. We do charge your card as soon as the order is placed.

Thanks for your time.

I kinda got a your about to get screwed feeling from the conversation I had. Thats the only dealing Ive had with them but there price is unbeatable if they have the product.

[Guest m&pc9]

t there price is unbeatable if they have the product.

Thats just it, You can have very good prices if you never deliver the goods.

EVERYTHING shows as in stock ... that alone smells scammy.

Almost certainly no physical stock in Knoxville anywhere, I'm guessing.

Said domain registered under a name in California. Could be a registration thing or could be....?

I wonder how many of these have appeared all over the country?

WOW! Those are good prices!

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Those prices are too good to be real.

They have every kind of .380 in stock. Some thing is wrong there.

[Guest eyebedam]

They say they need to update the website when you call. There is no inventory.

[Guest Rick O'Shay]

Naaaaah! They are smart businessmen. They foresaw the coming gun shortage, stashed away huge amounts of firearms, and when the time was right they unleashed them on the market at deeply discounted prices, thereby cornering a nearly non-existent market.

I googled this company and found a physical address of

3208 Tazewell Pike

Suite 102

Knoxville Tn

I also ran across some complaints on www.ripoffreports.com

Since I will be working in the area tomorrow, I'll do a drive by, if their open I'll stop in amd post what I see. If they are legit I will have several Ruger LCP's available

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck...

[Oh Shoot]

Yeah, that's just registrar.

Private registration, so actual individual admin doesn't show.

Just another reason to be suspicious, as there's really no reason for making ones domain info private if all is above board, seems to me.

[VERO1]

I am betting that address will be located at a Pack and Ship etc with rental mailboxes!

[Guest Rick O'Shay]

Here is 3206 Tazewell Pike

here's what i know: these folks actually have a brick & mortar store on Tazewell Pike. Currently they are online only. According to the co-owner of the building (and he actually built the building), these people have boat loads of stuff piled up all over the place. however, from what i'm reading here, i would be curious to know what is piled up. I have talked with the customer service rep about having walk in traffic, but not at this time. they have good prices, but still pay shipping & sale tax. that's all I know

STAY AWAY FROM TGA!!!

I ordered from them earlier this year. They show EVERYTHING in stock because they "don't have the ability to update the site when they run out of an item" WTF??? They charge you, in full, immediately, regardless of if they have the item or not.

I ended up canceling my order and it took them over three weeks to refund my money!! I had to call three times and threaten further action before they finally issued a refund. I think it's some type of scam set up to get enough charged on "back ordered" products and then just disappear.

I'll never order from them again.

[Guest Boomhower]

I could not find their place of business.....and a buddy of mine called them and they said they do not have a store front.....online only. I don't even think you could go over and pick up your purchase from their storage facility.

take I-640 east or west and get off at Broadway, go towards Ftn City, bear onto Tazewell Pike off Broadway. At traffic light bear right onto Tazewell Pike (Pratt's Market on right, Bread Box on left). Go slow from this point....The first new brick structure (straight across street from Ftn Head School of Technology). Turn into driveway, address is on the door. I have actually stopped there, plus my company provided materials for this building. So, there is an actual building. I went by on a Sunday, but no walk in traffic.

[Guest bkelm18]

Ask them for their FFL. Seems they would be semi-legit if they had a FFL.

Allot of online places do not have the ability to change stock levels on the fly(opticsplanet for instance.they even tell you to call to check their stock,and they also charge you when you order regardless of stock)

There are also several places that do not allow walk-ins,just the way they work!

But the thing that gets me is the address.If they do not have an actual mailing address,I am not buying from them unless they are PayPal certified
