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

[gravity sucks]

No tears on my behalf...

Spent £1,100 on a new left-handed Beretta SP3; turned out, having noticed a crack forming, it was a right-hander "bent" - impacting it's resale value.

Litts said it was not their issue after two years, offering to sell me a replacement stock for £600.

A mate of mine took up my case with GMK rep he met at a game fair and I ended up with the stock sorted free of charge.

I would buy another Beretta but not from Litts...

They were purportedly 'known' for supplying 'grey' imports to the US - Perazzi mainly but also Beretta's. Bloody shame they are in trouble as they could get hold of Euro DT's and SO's that you cannot get in the US.

I'm in the market for a couple of good Beretta's (but no rush) so when someone knows who will be dealing with their stock I would appreciate an email.

I hope that everyone on this board is made whole and not hurt by this unfortunate turn of events.

I spoke with Andrew Litt on the phone and did a deal for a Nightforce NXS 8-32x56 for £1010. Sportsman were doing the same scope for £1145. Andrew said delivery would be 2-3 weeks.

After 4 months I told him to poke it.
They gave me every excuse under the sun for it not turning up.
Their customer service was non-existant.

So it is Touche and go as to whether they will keep trading?

And clearly the auditors the other day were deloittering with intent?

Ha ha ha

There was a sign on the gates stating that the company was in hands of administrators and the company will not be trading .

If they're not trading, they should really take their website down?

I doubt whether at this point the administrator has made the final decision to cease trading or not. The shop will clearly be closed until they have but it all depends on what caused the failure in the first place.

I have been shopping in Litts for over 20 years. Last time I went into M & S with the Mrs, I cannot remember being offered a cup of coffee!! But I have in Litts on regular occasions. How many small businesses are open until 8:00 pm every week. Yes they liked to close on time, who wouldn’t want to get home to their families, I’m sure a business like that has big security, so I’m sure it’s not just the case of putting out the cat and locking the front door!! You wouldn’t get into Tesco at 5 to 5 either!!

I’m not a big spender in Litts by any means, but I have always found the guys there very helpful, in particular Mike, Mal, Clive and Dave. I have talked to a couple of them since all this happened, and the figures rumoured are a joke, given more time Andrew would have sorted this lot out. I am so very sorry that these guys have found themselves without a job, and no doubt, like the rest of us they have mortgages and bills to pay. Andrew Litt is my book is a decent bloke, he always seemed to be working his butt off. I agree, sometimes they got things wrong, but there again, it’s never the good deals you hear about at a time like this.

I for one will sadly miss being able to go to my local gun shop, and think it’s a crying shame that yet another small family business has gone under. I’m not looking forward to the extra petrol miles, bridge tolls and inconvenience of getting my cartridges in the future.
