Just going to stop ordering *stuff*

[SpindleB]

DonnyFL 200bar bottles on 250 bar gun. Wants me to pay shipping for their screw up.

Pyramyd ship a barrel in a big box with minimal packaging and barrel escapes. After shaming post they decided to replace barrel and ship ground just to make sure it takes as long as possible to fix their error.

Sharg order a gun, pay for gun, get refund the next day, they don't ship to US.

Krale order the same gun, in stock, and when I get to checkout claims out of stock. Go a 2nd time, still in stock, checkout fails again.

Huma Air order the same gun, get to checkout, SUCCESS. Get an email the next day, we're sorry, there is a 2-3 week delay in fulfilling your order.

Canada Shooting Supply order a Kervan K1/C5 wood stock. Received Kral Puncher stock.

Order scope #1 from Alibaba, last week heard 5 days ago the plane landed in Hong Kong, over 2 weeks after order was placed.

Order scope #2 from Alibaba, 3 weeks later and best anyone can tell "in transit".

Order tanks on Alibaba, 5 days later check status and find still haven't shipped. Ask when they will ship. Turns out 1 of 2 tanks is out of stock. Try to cancel order. Denied, seller claims the bottle will ship in window. 7 days later finally ships.

Matt ,
im 4 months into this and the deliveries are slowing down. So much stuff.
All my real gun equipment doesn’t come close and I did reload and compete
in f class which required about 72 perfect center fire rounds ( one can hope)
per round. Of course I was working then and money was not as freely spent.

 

[WoodWelder]

I've easily got 10 yrs supply of rounds and many airguns to shoot......I can wait them out!
I never lose!

This past week and into this one every thing has slowed. Sump pump from Lowe's was ordered Thursday from Minneapolis. In Indiana now.
Order from Midway sat 3 days and the weekend before moving. Both different shipping.

Just when you think customer service can't possibly get any worse, it does. Nobody gives a sh*t anymore.

But ya gotta admit I'm on a roll here.

Only Amazon and AliExpress are not screwing me over. Given tariffs that may change to just Amazon shortly.

Partially true, they give a BIG sh*t until they get your $. THEN they don't give a sh*t

God's trying to tell you something.

He's telling you to order more stuff the law of averages will even everything out.

Be horrible if it were part and parcel of a lifestyle.

That’s why I hide when I get to work.

I deal with it in my business but it ain‘t as bad as what other posters have related here. Thankfully or I would have a lot more time to go shoot.

 

[Ranchibi]

Hang in there that is one long line of orders gone fugly.....my heart goes out to you....

 

[daddypaddy]

bought crypto, value is dropping.
shooting farther, projectile dropping.
interest in airguns, steady growth

Or companies are struggling to keep up, and are trying their best. Things take time to get processed and shipped. Once a package leaves a business there is nothing they can do.

Settle down and be patient. To many people demand their items get special treatment. Sadly that's not how any of this works.

I remember the days when you ordered from a catalog, had no tracking, and waited weeks and longer for your order. .. Ahhh the good ol days!

 

[SpindleB]

A catalog, LUXURY!
We had to walk 90 miles in the snow uphill just to send a telegram to a factor. Then we had to wait for summer before the wagons could use the dirt roads and get to the farm with our orders.

We had to use homing pigeons and smoke signals just to build those tlegraph lines!

Seriously though, everything is a hot mess. I expect nothing but disappointment with everything, that way I get a pleasant suprise when something goes as it should. Expectations lol...!

Always plan around failure modes so when failure happens, and it will, you are ready to address the issue. 45 years I have been developing the testing other people's products. Amazing how many times I find a flaw and the panic mode that ensues as they scramble to address the issue.
