Have DJ Litts gone bust?????????????

[Big Mafoota]

I'm gutted if this is true. I've been going to Litts since I was a little boy. The service was often shocking but generally the guys in the shop were very helpful.

I don't think the VCR Act will have been a significant factor in Litts' case - airguns and airgun paraphenalia have only ever been a marginal part of their business at best - they are/were mainly into high end shotguns and sporting rifles, along with FAC/shotgun related kit.

I agree that service was generally bleedin' awful - I recently went in to buy some new boots (size 10), having checked beforehand that they were in stock - when I got there, the bloke behind the counter produced size 11 only and got the hump with me for having the gall to be fed up with having made a 50 mile drive for nothing...

Litts problems were from very bad investments. Made most money from shotties and firearms.

Nobody is as gutted as me I can tell you...

[Tenuc]

I'm not surprized!!! I was unfortunate enough to deal with Litt's once and if they treated all their customers like they did me, then good riddance.

They won't be the last. As affordability descends, prices ascend, and banks become less flippant than of late, this type of occurance will prevail.

[reality bites]

The service was shocking to be fair. I waited over 3 months for a replacement rifle last year and that was mainly due to them waiting 2 months to order it!

any bargains to be had? closing down sale?

Have they stiffed you Gary.

Remember you own the scopes till they pay for them. Get down quick and see the auditors.

Hope you get more than a few pence in the pound.

I would recommend going down there pretty damn quickly!!!!!!!!!

just proves that not all gun laws are good ones

Nothing to do with the VCR Bill,it was due to the reasons outlined below,treat customers like sh*te & they stop coming back.

Couldn't have put it better myself,though i do think its a shame in one sense,they were a good shop at one time.

I'm off out and will pop into Litts to see if it's open or not, but the news is it's gone under big time!

A friend has told me that a local dealer has already been on to the companies that Litts dealt with in order to take over from them i.e cartridges etc

Hopefully at a decent price?

[JLB]

Whilst good service seemed very hit & miss depending on who you actually dealt with, its the staff i feel sorry for. I'm sure Mr Litt himself will be comfortable in his early retirement. The people in charge almost certainly know the end is nigh, yet keep trading . Lets hope those who are owed money or goods supplied in good faith get it back in full.
