      BBB, thank you for the opportunity to address ******’s concerns.
      ******, first we would like to extend a sincere apology for the inconvenience
      caused on our behalf and shipping and response times. We recently transitioned
      to a new ERP system, and we are still facing some challenges. Our call and
      email/volume is extremely high right now but our phone system works as it should
      with a callback option available. We are currently backlogged with shipping
      orders. Your order is in queue to be shipped out next week.

      I lost the yoke screw of my **** revolver while practice shooting on ******** ****. The firearm was in guarantee, so I reached out to ***** customer service. They said they would not ship a replacement screw and, that I had to ship my revolver to them for repair.
      My local FFL dealer spent hours reaching them; when they finally did, they received all the necessary info so they shipped the firearm to them. This happened on ******** ****.
      Since then, ***** *** customer service is unreachable. It is totally impossible to reach a human on the line and they cannot provide me with a status on the website ("not received" is all page says). There is no way to further know what happened or what is the status of the repair.

      On the 22nd of January I ordered the *****/***** from shop taurus. On the 5th of February I called customer care to get status of my order. Waited over an hour on hold and was told my order was being prepared to ship, but no tracking number was available. It's been over a week now and no contact from Taurus as to a tracking number. Called customer care again and every time a recording said all repersiatves are busy and hung up on me. Worst customer service I have ever seen. It's like we have your money so we'll mail it whenever we feel like it. I'd really like to know when I'll get my order.

      I’m just completely disappointed with this order and I still have yet to receive it. I placed this order ********, it’s been two weeks with no updates at all and no shipping tracking. I’ve been calling for a week straight and waiting for a total of 4 hours. I’ve submitted request forms on the website also have sent emails. I could’ve ordered from other places and it would’ve been arrived but I said let’s get it from the company themselves. I just want to try and get a refund at this point. This is my first time ordering from them as well.

      I returned an unsafe firearm covered by a warranty. Taurus USA issued a repair order number (******), as they deemed the firearm to be broken and unsafe. I was contacted once to ask about my willingness to receive a part that does not match the original product. I was told that I could only have a part that is not like what was suitable for the repair. I was told that someone would contact me to further discuss the situation. No one has contacted me.
      I have emailed and called countless times. They have not gotten back to me and went so far as to block my emails. I also call frequently and will wait for more than 2 hours (on a regular basis). At times, I will use the call return feature, and they won’t return my call that way either. I have NO communication and they remain in possession of the product. I am the legal owner of the product.

      Please note the number of emails exchanged in the attachments. Over 20 of those emails are mine asking for support.

      BBB, thank you for the opportunity to address *******’s
      concerns. *******, first we would like to extend a sincere apology for the
      delay in our response times. We are still facing some challenges with our new
      ERP system and our volume is extremely high.  You spoke with our customer service department
      on ******* and informed our Customer Care Advocate that you would like to wait
      on the black slide in stead of using the ******** we offered. 

      Customer Answer

      Date: 02/23/2025



      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:
      Taurus responded by sending emails that had been exchanged. This is not an offer on their behalf. They are simply revisiting prior communications. I need my firearm’s broken component replaced with the same color/model component that had been issued with the firearm when originally purchased. Taurus states that I opted to wait for a black slide. This is true, but I was assured that I would be informed of its status. I refuse to accept the ******** slide they are trying to give me. It is not their only option, but they refuse to take the steps that have been promised. It is impossible to believe that a large manufacturer like Taurus does not have this common part. I am willing to accept a full replacement of the firearm, my money back, or the black slide that had been promised before I was offered a ******** slide. I am no longer willing to wait for Taurus to play games. They have plenty of options. I request that they choose one of those listed above. If they say they do not have a suitable black slide anywhere in their possession, it is a lie. 

      My terms

      1. New replacement firearm of matching or greater value. 

      or

      2. Money returned in full. 

      or

      3. Black or FDE slide made for the corresponding firearm (**** model sent in for repair).

      Since I was never contacted with an update on slide availability as promised, I ask that Taurus choose and fulfill one of the reasonable options I have listed. I ask that this be done immediately since my emails and phone calls have been ignored.


      Sincerely,



      ******* ****

      I bought a new Taurus firearm on 01/**/25 during promotion period for a rebate of * *********. I submit the claim for the rebate shortly after and receive a confirmation my claim was approved on 01/05/25 via email. However, the process was completely different from the rebate terms.
      Rebate term: "After a properly completed online submission with all required documentation has been submitted by the customer and verified by Taurus and/or its claim processing agent, the Taurus ** ** ****** *** ***** rebate properly associated to the firearm purchase will be sent to the address provided in the claim within 8 – 10 weeks"
      From the email, I was instructed to redeem the rebate by going to their website, add the rebate item, apply a unique promo code, which will be expired on 02/28/25. I followed the instruction regardless. However, to this date, I haven't been able to redeem the rebate for various reasons: website down, item out of stock, invalid promo code, and back to out of stock again. In addition, it looks like I will be charge shipping fee to get the item.
      I contact customer support regarding the issue on 01/27, 01/28, 01/29 but have not getting any further response.
      Summary, instead of fulfilling the rebate term as stated that they will ship the item to my address, they expecting me to continuously monitor the website to place the order, and to pay for the order if I am lucky enough to catch it when it is back in stock. This is false advertisement.

      My name is ****** ***** I have been trying for weeks to get the 3
      magazines for my Taurus TX22 rebate. I have emailed, called and
      waited for an hour for someone to answer. I have waited for the

      says invalid. I was told on the phone I would get a new code but I am
      still waiting. It should not be this difficult to get a rebate. I
      should get 6 magazines for the trouble I have had.
