I’ve got a Hogue that I carry every day. The spoon clip broke the week before my trip too Ohio. Looked online and it was $15 which ok, I’ll order one. Most places were out of stock. Hogue wasn’t. But the shipping was as much as the part. Kind of ridiculous, so I emailed them. Basically told them I have no problem paying their asking for the part, but wasn’t happy with that price for shipping.
I hadn’t checked my email while in Ohio, and when I got home I saw where they asked for my address as they were shipping the part too me. Free of charge. Was a little shocked, as I wasn’t expecting that. Free/reduced shipping? Sure, that was what I was hoping for. But I guess if your tactful and give them a chance, they’ll redeem themselves.
