Over the years I have done a LOT of business with them. My experience has been first rate in every regard.

They will not sell to you if you live in Alabama, Georgia or Tennessee. They refuse to set up a system for charging sales tax for just three states. The work around is that they have a wholesale side for dealers. When they have something I really want, I contact a local dealer who orders from them and have it sent to the store.

In over 30 years of dealing with them, not one problem. Great outfit!

Used to drive me nuts when I lived in TN to see great deals and not be allowed to buy from them. Now I live in Ohio, and I have bought from them and have been happy.
I try to "spread the wealth" and buy from several different places- whoever has a better deal, or just a different one once in awhile if it's close to the same price- so I can keep the catalogs coming.

Web site sux and shipping is too high. Other than that, they're not bad to do business with.

Natchez is a large outfit, there also a dealer distributor under the name Chattanooga Shooting Supply. Weak Web-Site though a great company to deal with.

I have had good experiences buying from Natchez over the years. I buy more from Graf's and Sons, though, because they have the cheapest shipping charges I have found. Their prices and service are very good, also. http://www.grafs.com/

I see from other responses that I'm going to be the lone dissenter here, but here goes:
I won't try to relate the fist couple of fiascos with Natchez since it gets a bit long, but decided to try another order for a couple of scopes they had at a good price. Fist off, they hold your order for a week or ten days "until the check clears", which is BUNK with today's instant transfers. After about a month I called to see what happened to my order and was told that it was "ready to ship", but that Jimmy Bob had been on vacation and it "would be shipped when he got back". WTF, nobody else can ship anything??? I went off on the phone and cancelled the order. Finally had to block their junk emails through my ISP. Out of three orders totaling about $900.00, I got none of them, and it will be a cold day when I get dumb enough to try a fourth time. YMMV Myron

I have done a lot of business with them for many years. Fast service and honest inventory. I have always liked them a great deal.
However, the worst retail website I have ever used. In the last year they have started to jab on shipping. I now calculate the shipping then check elsewhere. Based on other retailers, it appears to me they are beginning to use shipping as a profit center.
I am now using more Graf's and Sinclair.

Living in Australia, I'm always going to get burned on shipping. Having said that, I've used Natchez several times, and have always been happy with their service.

They are great to deal with, I would say one of the best ones. Once I ordered an item (regular shipping) on Tuesday morning and had it on Wednesday evening. Never had any problems with them and they do have some pretty good prices.

Wow! thanks for all the quick responses. It looks to be mostly positive, and hopefully they see the light of day with their outage on their web site. Thanks to all

Natchez, Midway, Grafs, Cabelas I use them all for purchases and am happy to have all the choices! +1 also with Mid-South, Widener's and Powder Valley thrown in. Never any real problems with any of them.
