RxArms Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Backorders, they are risky business. I am in control of my own production and finishing, and even with this, I rarely do backorders unless I am VERY confident of a ship date. I recently put up backorders for the Ti charging handle and even gave an extra 2 weeks past what I am expecting for shipping date as I never want to be the company that goes over the ETA. Backorder mess up can make or break vendors IMO. Edited June 17, 2022 by RxArms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 A friend of mine ordered a C-stock from them when there was a 1 week ETA. He got his stock in about 2, 2.5 weeks. Zero issues. Makes sense considering shipping and inventory time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 This is why I mainly shop at Rooftop Defense or Big Tex. Live inventory, no backorder bullshit, and very responsive customer service. They also price stuff fairly, especially on KAC or LMT stuff (unlike cough cough Omaha Outdoors, Freedom Fighter Tactical, Bauer Precision, etc) Best of all they work with "ban state" customers (like California and New Jersey). I've personally never had issues with BP, ordered maybe 4 things from there. But transparency is a big deal for me and I am patient enuff to just find it elsewhere instead of backordering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I’m with Doge & share his perspective..particularly regarding Freedom Fighter Tactical..never have/will purchase a single part from that outfit. Several years ago I met & and spoke with the owner Todd of FFT, maybe he was having a bad day or whatever but the dude validated to me why so many of his M4 parts are outrageously over priced(long before Covid)..pretty sure he treats firearms manufacturers & relationships with them way better/another level vs. peasants like myself. I go my own direct-personal experience, regardless of a company’s/person’s reputation. Btw, HUGE advocate of RoofTop Defense..great products at fair prices & run by truly genuine people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbrew Posted Monday at 08:21 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:21 PM Meh, haven't got it yet, but ordered a barrel from these guys the other day. Already got email with a tracking number. So... we'll see in a few days whether I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
