[Order Leadtime on M2, SBE II?]

Originally posted by jpward:

How long is it taking from the time you place an order with a Benelli Authorized Dealer until you get a phone call that the firearm is ready for you to pick up? I placed an order for a M2 in black with 28" barrel on Friday November 12. I have been unable to get an estimated date of delivery from my dealer. Is this common? All they will say is "we are at the mercy of Benelli" and "Benelli is historically very responsive but they have slowed down with the introduction of the new models."

 

I had the same problem. The dealers are at the mercy of Benelli and the ones who do the most business with them get firts in line...which also takes forever and it is true they will; never give you a target date. Good Luck

The lack of an estimated date of delivery does not make sense to me. The dealer placed an order with one of Benelli's distributors. The distributor placed an order with Benelli. Benelli USA must place orders with Benelli IT. Benelli IT must have a production control system. Why isn't this information being passed on to me, the consumer?

 

I'm excited about my purchase and I'd like to schedule our first trip together. I had thought by waiting until November to order availability would be improved. Unfortunately, I can't even tell what the availability is because me dealer doesn't have access to a leadtime estimate.

[How to get Benelli Options ???????]

Hi I have 2 Supersports and have been trying for 6 months to get short pad from dealer who is still waiting. Called benelli and they said (American office) that they are not yet in the USA and they have no idea when they are due to arrive. First you could not get the gun 7 month wait, then you can't get parts....I wonder who runs their manufacturing scd'l

I am new to these forums. I am guessing that someone

from Benelli checks these forums from time to time.

 

My first Benelli was a SBE that I won at a DU Event.

I shot it for 2 years, then sold it to a friend who begged

me for it. He is a big DU fan and wanted the DU SBE.

 

After several years I decided to go back to a Benelli.

 

I just purchased a SuperSport and a SBE II.

I am very pleased with these guns.

 

I called Benelli Customer Service to find out how I can

purchase the optional ComforTech gel pad; the short

pad, 14" L.O.P. that is shown on the web site.

 

I was told I had to purchase the Benelli optional short

gel pad from Mann & Son Sporting Goods in IL.

 

Mann & Son told me it could be 6 months.

 

Is this correct ???????

 

You think some one could look in their desk draw and

send my a ComforTech gel pad ????

 

Regards,
