How speedy is MBC shipping?

nevadabob · Mar 12, 2020

To those who have ordered MBC coated bullets, what has been your wait time? I placed an order online Sunday and today is Thursday with no shipping notice. To the person that says "Give them a call..." I don't want to do that because it may disrupt their momentum in bullet production. I'm just asking the audience. No malice on my part just wanting to know real world travel time to Reno NV. If it takes a few days longer: so be it. That's life.
I've also got some Jagemann brass coming from Natchez with no shipping notice either.

That seems long. My experience is 3-5 days from order placed to at my door. They ship USPS so it should only take 2 days in transit to arrive once shipped.

Similar as sequins, 3-5 days order to receipt.

FWIW- RMR has a message on their website saying shipping may be slower due to the flu running through their shop. Maybe MBC has a similar situation?

I don't recall getting any emails beside an order confirmation. I believe you have to specify or request tracking. I bet they show up by Saturday if all is well at their shop.

I've had it both ways...surprised at 3 days at my door and better part of two weeks to the door.

Usually 5-6 business days. No tracking. They always ship!

Usually 3-6 days and I live in Maine. That is standard for the USPS and flat rate boxes. Might have been a wait if the bullets had to be made or coated first on the chance the have run out.

I've only ordered from MBC once, but it only took about 5 days without any shipping notice or tracking info.

E-mail them. That is their preferred method of communication. Let's them answer at the end of the day.

Any where from 2-14 days. All depends if they had a run on a particular bullet. In most cases I never received a tracking number.

I just ordered Sunday and received the order yesterday. They emailed me Monday with the shipping confirm.

Since my projectiles are 45 Colt maybe they had zippo in stock and needed to make some. I only ordered 500. I sent them an email late yesterday asking.
Thanks for the responses!

It has been a while since I have ordered but back then my order was received in just a few days. I was amazed
They are a lot busier now.

My order from two weeks ago was 45C. Maybe I emptied them out.

If you order an item in inventory, it's been within 5 days for me, but I'm closer and ship direct from a USPS hub. When I have ordered something that wasn't in inventory, and had to wait for a production run (they don't tell you) it was closer to 14 days.

nevadabob · Mar 13, 2020

Just received an email from MBC and Natchez stating that my orders shipped today. Good enough!

nevadabob · Mar 16, 2020

Received my MBC order today. I'm OK with the shipping time but the small bullet box placement of 500 #1 Cowboy 45 Colt bullets was upsetting. The small bullet box was broke open and 2 bullets had escaped and were loose in the bigger priority mail parcel. Instead of centering the small bullet box inside the larger box, all the weight was on one end making for an unbalanced parcel. It appears the total package had been dropped or thrown because the larger box was weakened on one end. Why didn't they take a bit more time and package the bullets dead center in the bigger priority mail box? These bullets are rated at a soft #12 BHN and I hope they are in spec. This wasn't their 1st rodeo and I'm not happy with how they package. UGH!

Everything seems to be taking longer lately

Thanks for updating. I placed an order for some .45C and .38 dewc yesterday. The confirmation email indicated that shipping may be delayed due to high demand.

I'm not in a huge hurry, but thought I would mention that they are expecting slow turnaround at the moment.
