Did anyone else find out that "The Sportsman Guide" company refuses to ship or sell this item to California residents?

Due to the various state, county and municipal laws that exist, we are not always able to comply with each individual guideline. Not all of the restrictions are based on laws on the books, but could be a company decision based on other particular concerns. These may include whether the state has law suits pending involving gun owners and recent court decisions that may affect businesses like ours. Also, in some cases the states' laws are so vague that they could be interpreted unfavorably in the event a court action was ever involved. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Also, I think that for a while, the Skyscout listing on Amazon was not showing up as "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" - I think it might have been listed as shipping from the Discovery Channel or Diamond something or other. Maybe he placed his order through Amazon but it actually went to another vender?

Book Lover - you abused online ordering. I bet anything that you attempted to cancel this item (tv?) when it was too late and it was thus never actually canceled - not by the fault of Amazon - and then you refused the product at your door step and I bet you are arguing for the $$$ that it probably cost to ship it there and back. (sounds like a large tv order for 2k) Not to again mention it was probably your fault it wasn't cancelled. Aka... you tried to get out of paying for shipping fees since you failed to cancel an order soon enough.

Top Hat, I'm having the same experience you did. My HDTV was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Even tho the Amazon product page says the item will be delivered via White Glove, the trucking company said it will not. I've spent the past 90 minutes on the phone, being passed from Adorama (the seller) to Amazon to the trucking company back to Adorama back to Amazon back to the trucking company. It turns out that the product page is misleading. It's only when you buy your TV from Amazon.com that you can get the WG service. BUT, here's the tricky part. You can't just add the item to your cart and go through checkout. You have to click on the list that says "18 New and Used," or whatever the number is. Then you have to SELECT amazon.com as the seller. Isn't it nice that this isn't mentioned ANYWHERE on the product page? I couldn't find anything in the Help section, either. So, I've cancelled my order with Adorama so I can place the order directly from Amazon.com, thus making sure I get the White Glove service. What a PIA!!!

I bought one from Amazon and live in San Diego. No issues with shipping and ownership. CA gun laws may be restrictive, but they haven't progressed to restricting gunsmith tools............. yet. There are no restrictions on sight modifications in CA, although this is not legal counsel.

First, know that this company is a PAIN to deal with. The people at KL say that the states don't know the law and they (the company people do) which is COMPLETE NONSENSE. It took me about 3 weeks to get a proper MSO that was acceptable to the State of Nevada and ONLY after Amazon bringing their "weight" down on KL. Also, be advised that this boat is acceptable for SMALL ponds. It is NOT a stable craft by any means. Personally, I would STRONGLY advise AGAINST dealing with this company based upon my personal experience. BTW, I have no idea who Nathan Allen is or how he fits into things. Just BEWARE!!!

I ran into the same problem as I am from Alaska as well. They wouldn't ship to my PO Box so I tried entering two different home addresses and those didn't work either. I finally just had it shipped to a friend in Pennsylvania and they are going to send it to me. In October I ordered a camera and they sent it to my PO Box, so I am wondering why they won't do that anymore.

I live in CA and can't get it shipped for some reason. Won't ship to an Amazon Locker either for being to big.

File an online complaint with your BBB at http://search.bbb.org/And since problem is in state, also file a complaint with your State Attorney General.(Amazon, you'll find, is of no help if it is one of their "vendors" rather than from their own stock.)

I got mine successfully and I'm in California. I assume Amazon will tell you whether or not it's shippable to your zip code.

I have NOT heard anything about it NOT being able to ship to Texas; I tried to research this and there is nothing about it NOT being able to ship. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with. Thank You.

I agree, and their customer support sucks... literally one told me too bad when I told them that their website is inconsistent and useless. I mean it was rude, and then the guy said he filed an RMA and would e-mail me the details and never did. Buyer beware.

I just called to check in on how long it will take to get it here so I'd know when to be home, once I purchase it online. No answer, not even an automated service to tell you they are closed. No hours on the website either. I called the shipping department, but that goes straight to ABF Freight. I realize they might be closed at 7:00 EST, but the fact that there isn't even an automated systems says a lot about what their set expectations at. I'm taking this as a bad sign. Going back to the research board and figure out the next possible candidate.

I noticed the same thing - I bought the item anyway, and was charged sales tax, although I don't think I should have been if Genexus/Chan is in NV, and I'm in CA (and I ordered and received my item before 9/15/2012, when the CA law requiring tax to be collected becomes effective). So I suppose I really paid for my "free" shipping in tax. Amazon has not been helpful. I will buy nothing else from Genexus - too many odd things going on here. I'm also done with buying anything that does not come directly from Amazon - I've had some other unsettling experiences when using the Amazon storefronts. Time to start supporting my local stores again, even if it costs a bit more. At least I'll have the peace of mind of knowing where the stuff is coming from, and being able to see its condition and quality before I buy it, and I won't have to deal with Amazon customer "service".

I had the same issue and I am kinda disappointed at these tactics. I specifically ordered 7 rather than 7B and got 7B from beach camera. I wrote today just to let my fellow patrons of amazon know that you are not alone done in by these shady practices.

I ignored some complaints I read online about Woodland Hills Camera and am really sorry I did. I never received the product they supposedly mailed to me and spent a lot of wasted time and money trying to resolve the problem. The staff there is very unfriendly once they've got your money. Don't make the same mistake I did. Here are more people who got scammed by this unscrupulous company:http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/woodland-hills-camera-c215793.html

I thought I was the only one! It will not let me buy it and I cannot see anywhere that there is a restriction to California. Strange.
