CamoGuy Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I am not product bashing here, just wanted to give everyone a heads-up. I have no problem with the product, just the people. If you live in a rural area and your street address is not in the 123 Main Street format, Black Hole Targets will not deliver to you. I live on a farm in the countryside and my address is a Rural Route address and they refuse to deliver to me because they don't deliver to rural route addresses. If your address includes the word BOX, they will not deliver it to you. They only deliver to addresses like 427 Jones Drive or 2998 Burns Lane. I called the customer service guy and he tried to say that UPS won't deliver to my address. When I pointed out that UPS delivered a burner for my stove just last week he got snippy and insinuated that I was friends with the driver and that was why he delivered to me (I don't know the driver BTW). When I pointed out that FedEx also delivers here he then backtracked and said their company policy is to not deliver to Box addresses. Just wanted to let everyone know so they don't have to deal with the bull of this company. If you plan on buying a target on-line, go elsewhere. The target was to be a birthday gift for my son but I guess that is out the window. I am very disappointed that a company like them has such ignorant business practices.

toddyboman Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 That is dumb...... Guess they don't want your money. Maybe you should check basspro or cabela and see if they can deliver for you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamoGuy Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have an account with Cabela's and have purchased tree stands from them and had them delivered to my house, so I know they will deliver here. However, I have no intentions of buying a Black Hole block. I see no reason to put money in their pocket after this. As it stands now I will have to pay for priority shipping to get a different one here in time for my son's birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKYhunter Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Their targets suck anways. They don't last very long at all. Get a Block or a Morrell. Then send black hole an e-mail telling them that you purchased the other target and that none of your friends will be purchasing black hole either. Finally, tell them that you posted your experience on realtree.com for others to see and they won't be purchasing either. Oh yeah, find out if they have a parent company and cc them a copy. Tell us what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisherfd2 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I own a black hole target. My buddy just bought a block from gander mountain. Might even be Gander's brand. BUT, Compared to my black hole, which is difficult to get the carbons out of for some reason. The block is effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
