Not trying to start an online gun & accessories store bash, but what is a reasonable expectation of delivery of products you have ordered? I ordered 2 magazines for my 10mm pistol on May 24th and received an e-mail of order confirmation. After a week, I e-mailed the store for a shipping status. No reply, so I e-mailed a second request for info a day later. Still no reply. I know that on occasion, things will be on back order, etc., but still most shops will keep you informed.
The following day, I decided to call. Their "next available agent" informed me that items are shipped in the order that the orders are placed. Seems reasonable I guess. I specifically asked if the items I ordered were on back order, the answer was that they were in stock. I asked when I could expect them to ship. I was told "possibly next week".
Mind you, their policy is not to charge your card till the items are ready to ship, this is good. I said I would check with them today about the status.
I called this afternoon and was told that the items have not shipped and that they are shipped in the order the orders are placed. Deja-vu all over again. Asked when, and was told possibly this week.
Are stores this busy or was I hearing a story. I asked to cancel the order. The agent asked if I would re-consider if he personally put the items in the mail, possibly Monday. I said cancel.
Am I wrong in my thinking, was I fair?
