I ordered some 30-06 brass from Starline on 1/15/2024 and haven't heard a peep from them since I received the order confirmation. Is anyone else here experiencing delays of that magnitude? I know they're "backordered", but 6 weeks seems a bit much.
I've been very happy with the quality of Starline brass so far. I've loaded .30 Carbine, .38 Special, .45 Colt, and 30-06.How is the quality of their rifle brass? Considering some in .270W.
They have not contacted me even though it's been 6 weeks. I just sent them an e-mail. If I don't hear back within 24 hours I'll call them.I've ordered several back-order types of brass. Most arrived in a few weeks.
One of the 32 handgun varieties - I can't remember if it was 32 ACP or 32 Long - took several months.
I do remember that if the backorder isn't filled in X amount of time, they will contact you to verify you still want it, and to re-verify the CC#.
This is pretty much what they did with my last order. I got a phone call asking if I still wanted the brass and they updated my CC info. About a week later it arrived.I just received this e-mail from customer service at Starline:
Thank you for reaching out. Your order is still active in our system, however at this time it’s really impossible for us to estimate any timeframes due to the volume of orders we have. Once we have the cases completed, we will reach out to update the payment information and process the orders in the order they were received. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I guess they're just really busy there.
Out of stock-Backorder okay can take anywhere from a few days to over a year. It just depends on where your order falls in the production cycle.My understanding is their brass has 3 categories of availability that sort of follows their color coding. If showing "out of stock".....it is just that and don't expect anything anytime soon. I'm not even sure you can place an order in this category. Don't know, never tried it.
But once availability elevates to "out of stock......back order OK".......you can expect it will ship inside of a week or two at the most. I've done that twice and both times it shipped within days of me placing an order.
In stock and available ships immediately.
