So I placed an order from PSA about a week ago and it still just says processing so Ill ask you guys have you ordered latley if so how long did it take.

Thanks Horsemen61
 
I ordered 9mm ammo from them in August, was still "processing" after four days, so I emailed them and asked if it would be shipping soon. They replied that they were "working around the clock" to get orders shipped, and that it would ship soon. I had it two days later. Did my email speed things up? No idea, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Meanwhile, I have another order with them that is approaching the one-week mark with no shipping notification yet.
 
2 recent orders, around 10 days "processing" time. One was warehouse pickup, the other was shipped across town because they had free shipping at the time I ordered.
Note their website still shows months old orders of mine as "processing" even though they were picked up or delivered, so one can't go by that on their website.

I will add they are pretty decent- one item I ordered had a substantial price reduction ($60) days after I ordered. Called them to cancel the order intending to reorder at the new price. When I explained why I was cancelling and asked if they could match the price on my existing order, they cheerfully agreed. Can't beat that!
 
PSA always takes a while to ship. Be patient and they'll get it out. I've never had something not ship even though it took a couple weeks.
 
I've ordered from PSA a dozen or so times in the last 3 years, and they do take longer to ship than many other companies.

I recently bought one of their "daily deals" and it took about 3 weeks total to get to my door. Great product at a great price -- I'm happy to wait a little longer for it.
 
bought my upper and lower from them. it takes a while. I want to say the upper was almost 3 weeks and the lower was about two. mags shipped with in a week. I will gladly wait for the processing time for the price i paid on my upper and lower
 
Three or four times lately. One took a week to ship, but the others went out immediately.
 
I am like others, variable shipping time. A upper took several weeks, a scope only a few days. Several other items around 1 week to 10 days. What they are really bad about is answering any questions, that could really improve.
 
They have been taking about a week to ship my orders. But since they are only a couple states away I get the order pretty quickly after that. I order from some places farther away that ship quicker but the shipping takes longer so in the end it's about equal.
 
They are not known for fast shipping, but rather for low prices. I've read that they build orders rather than pick them, meaning... when you order certain things like an MOE LPK, a complete upper, etc. it is not actually setting on a shelf ready to ship; it has to be assembled first and you get in line behind other orders that have to be built before they are shipped, before yours is built and shipped.

Don't know if that is true, but all my dealings with them have seemed to support that idea. I ordered three identical complete uppers last month and they shipped separately.
 
I received the email from UPS that my shipment was now in their system (label printed) but not yet shipped, which puts it at eight days since the order was placed, or six days if you don't consider the weekend as business days. This is for a single item. Fortunately, I'm not in any sort of bind, but that's a long time to wait for a very simple order.
 
I order parts from them on a regular basis.........time is usually a week or two. Sometimes a bit shorter.................from what I gather they are still having some growing pains.

I'm extremely happy with them , I just received a (blem) AR-15 upper and can't find the blem to save my life......................btw, just placed an order with them earlier today............
 
I really like PSA, I think I'm up to about $9k spent with them in the last year.
My big complaint- they are local but they won't match their online prices in the store, so I order and wait.
Seems silly since I could pick up my stuff the same day I get the urge.
Wait- that could be a good thing or I might be up to $15k:eek:

But they will ship firearms to their store and avoid FFL transfer fees.

Haven't dome it lately, but I've ordered and in the instructions, asked them to let me pick up the order at their Farrow Road store.

HTH

Well according to their posted policy only the one store that is attached to the warehouse is where pick up orders are handled. They also restrict hours and days of pickup.
From their site-
"In Store Pickup– Order pickup is available only at the warehouse location. Orders may be picked up between 10am-5pm Monday-Friday excluding holidays. Website orders MAY NOT be picked up at the Beaufort or Fernandina Store locations."

Yep- I do it all the time. Oddly it seems like the pickup orders are handled even slower than the shipped ones!
 
I have ordered from PSA a couple of times in the last 2 months. Expect shipping times from Ordering to Arrival to be around 14days. It is very typical that during the first week/7 days that you place an order that it will say "Processing".

Be patient as they get large volume of orders. My last order of 2 AR15 LPK's took exactly 2 weeks.
 
Everyone always says that PSA takes a long time to ship. Every time I buy something from them, I always get it in just a few days.

Uppers. LPKs. AR parts. They always show up in less than five days.

Go figure.
