Buyer Beware - Store credit / 15% restock fee on returns

I had a bad experience with JoeBobOutfitters’ labeling and return terms. I ordered what their site described as a “Gen 2” part. The item I received was the Charlie Atlas model, which—per the manufacturer’s own pages—isn’t a Gen 2 product. The merchant’s site has two separate listings: one titled “Rearden Atlas SilencerCo CHARLIE GEN II …” (which applies “Gen II” to Charlie Atlas), and another for “Rearden Atlas Gen II …” (the actual Gen 2 part). That naming is confusing and led me to believe I was ordering the true Gen 2 version.

When I contacted support, I was told their policy is store credit or a refund to the original card minus a 15% restocking fee. They enforced that even though the listing’s “Gen 2” wording does not match the manufacturer’s designations. The conversation was adversarial; rather than acknowledging the ambiguity, I was told the mistake was on me.

Bottom line: the return policy is punitive and the product labeling is inconsistent with the manufacturer, which creates an easy trap for customers. If you consider buying here, verify the exact model name with the manufacturer before checking out. I won’t be ordering again.

Always super fast getting your order shipped out

I've been using Joe Bob's for several years now. They are very good getting orders shipped out fast. (Not responsible once the carrier has it). Their prices are almost always less than others, and the stock tends to be kept up well. In all this time, I've only had one exchange, which was quick and easy. I'll always get my parts and products from Joe Bob's, Customer for life

Excellent vendor...

I have always had great experience with JoeBob's. Super fast, free ($90 and up) shipping and order fulfillment and very good product selection. Unfortunately, they don't do sales very often. All of my orders have been correct and I haven't had to return anything, so I can't speak to about product return experiences.

Don’t trust these people

Don’t trust these people. Place order with them and never received it, too make matters worse, after emailing them about their poor service my account was cancelled. To this day I haven’t received my order.

Outstanding

JoeBobs prices are always fair and items are always in stock. Fast shipping too. I go to their retail operation in Hays or buy things from their website. Both are great to deal with. Honest and able to bring items to market in a heartbeat!

Best online 2A parts store, period.

I will start by saying this. I have shopped with A LOT of online retailers for 2A related parts and equipment. Not a single place can hold a candle to Joe Bob. They are consistently the cheapest. Consistently have the best stock. They never wait to ship and it's always free shipping over a certain price. They are killing it with absolutely awesome customer service and have never let me down unlike that optics dumpsterfire place. If I could rate over 5Stars, I would!

I'm not one bit impressed

I'm not one bit impressed. I went to the website to place an order. The system locked up. I tried again. And again. And again. I tried a different browser. No joy. I called them and there is no prompt for customer service, so i pressed every button until some guy answered the phone. I explained to him what happened and he couldn't have cared less. I should have know better than to deal with anyone named Joe Bob. Will I get my order? Who knows? I'm not holding my breath.

Horrible.

Horrible.
No customer service as the service for the customers. No adequate return policy...
If you unlucky enough to get a defective item.. -"you own it now!"
So, if you buy something from them prepare for financial losses;)

I found Joe Bob's sometime in 2020 and…

I found Joe Bob's sometime in 2020 and they have been a great source for parts. Very reasonable pricing and have very fast processing and shipping times. It takes about 2 days on average to receive my order form Hays, KS to California. I wish my local USPS was this quick. Overall a very reputable place to buy from, I have no complaints and recommend them to anyone!

Don’t buy unless you are 100% certain

I purchased something for my husbands AR. It arrived and I showed it to my husband. It didn’t fit his gun. The small ziploc baggie had an o ring in it. In his excitement, he dropped the baggie. My husband said to send it back as it wouldn’t work, and was too heavy, in his opinion. I put the o ring in a craft bag and sent the item back at my own cost less the 15% restocking fee. I was just informed that they would not be honoring the refund (less the 15%) because the o ring was not in the correct bag. Ridiculous. Do not purchase anything from this retailer unless you are 100% sure it will work for you. These are the reasons why I will buy from Amazon. Too many issues with returns.

They don't stand behind the products they sell

They have good prices and fast shipping, but they DO NOT stand behind the products they sell. They sent me a defective part and I called the following day to get a replacement. They basically told me... tough &^$&^%$ call the manufacturer. I even spoke to the owner and he first tried to lecture me about the gun industry, and how no one takes returns (BS). Then he told me that he couldn't help me and to call the manufacturer. He tried to boast about their fast shipping, but I'd rather wait a little longer and buy from a company who values their customers and stands behind the products they sell.

Fastest Order Processing & Shipping

While I don't think the layout of their website is very mobile-friendly, I have always found the best price with Joe Bob and their shipping is incredibly fast. They process an order as soon as they receive it and I usually have my package earlier than expected. Have made 10+ purchases and have always had the same great service.
