Perhaps, but some stores just don't care. I lived in Vegas for ten years
and was a regular at a e s there. When I bought my 590 I called and asked
them and they flat refused. They knew me of course and I gave them
permission to open the box and they flat said no, so I went elsewhere.
These were hams I talked to in person every couple weeks or so. Go
figure....
