I opened an account because they showed .30-30 in stock and while ordering a 5-10 day lead time to fill. Ordered 4 boxes. Email confirmation came saying expected due date was 07/05/2021. Checked again today - 07/11/2021.

I understand the ammo shortage is definitely a thing. But always tell the customer what to expect. These guys suck.

I wont use them any more

Seems to be a common opinion of them these days, I haven't used them and definitely don't plan to

If you can find a courier, I’d give you a box. I bought a few for the brass when they were cheap. I don’t want to deal with shipping, but if you can find a ride for it from Enumclaw it’s yours. I’m out of town tonight- Monday, but it’s available anytime after that if you want it.

They’re showing an upper in stock that I want but after all the talk about them lately I’m not even gonna waste my time

I have never used Optics Planet - but have used EuroOptics for a few scopes and they were awesome to work with and fast delivery!

Seems to be a common problem right now. These companies probably have "good enough" inventory systems that fail under high demand.

Up until last year optics planet was a great site to order from. I am in the same boat with one item. It has soured me and I will not use them again. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go out of business because of this....heck, they may already be out of business.

They are dead to me!!

Funny, those are the same due dates posted on an order I placed 2/15.

not funny.

That's a very nice offer, thanks. I don't know of anyone going near you, though.

I ordered scope rings from them last week with no problems, FWIW.

zwickeyman · « **Reply #11 on:** April 13, 2021, 10:43:36 AM »

If they actually have it in their warehouse they are pretty good but like most I dont expect a quick delivery

Bigshooter · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2021, 11:12:10 AM »

I've never had a problem with them.

Keep checking Starline Brass site. Keep a tab open, and refresh every day. Their Out of Stock, No Backorder changes at times to Backorder's accepted. I placed a backorder for .45 Colt brass last week in just such a manner. I don't know when I will get it, but I am giving them a chance for their FCFS fulfillment statement.

They did that with the bowcase my wife ordered for Christmas.
Unscrupulous.

They do suck. Returned a pair of binoculars in December and waited 45 days for the $1,500 refund. Can’t call them, they don’t answer. Can’t email cause they give a generic response. Wasn’t until I threatened legal action through their Facebook account that I miraculously got the refund.

I will never do business with them again.

Thanks. I have a funeral to attend this weekend and a day date with Mrs. Pianoman on Sunday. I wouldn't be able to get up there just yet.

I called last Saturday and canceled an order, I was only on hold for maybe a minute before someone answered.

Good for them, but I’ll never be a customer. Perhaps they are focusing on customer service now that most internet reviews are trending sharply downward. I canceled my order too, but the binos still shipped and I ended up in the mess I experienced. Hope you don’t experience the same.

Cameralandny if you want customer service and competitive prices.

Love OP. Ordered some .30-06 Lapua brass in January and had it by summer. What's not to love?

I did get a rangefinder there a few years back; it was the best deal going. Then I got another 10% back in their OP bucks so that was nice.

Stein · « **Reply #23 on:** April 15, 2021, 07:45:13 AM »

Sounds like it has really gone downhill. I probably have ordered a couple dozen times over the years. Shipping is slow, prices are good to great on the stuff I ordered. I sent one thing back, took a while and got the credit.

I appreciate others posting here that the current situation is different, I will not be rolling the dice with these guys.

Ghost Hunter · « **Reply #24 on:** April 15, 2021, 05:13:41 PM »

Didn't have to ditch OP. They ditched me.

Took 2 months to get to this point.

I'll trade the code number for a ripe banana

5% seems awfully generous of them 🤔.

Try not to spend it all in one spot.
