UPDATE: Here's Extreem Tacticals response to my earlier email:
Thank you for your email. I just checked the tracking and there does seem to be an issue with the shipment.
We have been experiencing issues all over the country with the post office in the last several weeks with either delayed or non moving shipments.
I have placed a tracer on the package to get it moving. If you do not start to see movement within 24 to 48 hours please contact us back and we will send out a replacement.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please let us know if we can be of any further help.

They realisticallycially take one to three weeks from start to finish at least not as bad as DVOR and Optics Planet.
Nobody has been stiffed by them as far as I know and most reported they do take a while to ship and sent in baggies too.

Not necessarily Extreemtacticals fault I believe it's USPS who seem to be full of crap these days.

After 2 emails the scope shows movement but not a delivery date. Placed the order on 3-11-21. Ordered an UTG 3x12x44 from optics planet this past Sunday and it’s out for delivery today should have it in a couple hours.

I also ordered on 3/11. Mine moved only from Whittier, CA to City of Industry, CA until yesterday. That's about 10 miles if I'm remembering the area correctly. At least it now shows "in transit".

NOT happy with the service and shipping from extreem tactical. Finally received my alpha 6 and it was shipped in a plastic bag with no padding. I’m never ordering again from extreem tactical!!!!!!!

Hate to see that. They don't seem to be doing themselves any marketing favors with the post sale treatment.
Mine arrived today. As noted above, no padding of any type. Just the scope box in an envelope. No damage to the envelope noted but less than ideal IMO.

Looks like 50$ savings is the price paid or saved for such shipping practices. They are 229$ from Ebay shipped and likely better packed for shipping however 50$ extra price difference for better shipping seems like alot for one scope. They cost 103$ more at Optics Planet now compared to the Extreem Tactical price.

Yep, all relative. Mine had no discernible damage but I might be lucky. Or maybe not. If I knew for certain better packing was available elsewhere I might consider it but ebay wouldn't be my first choice for such.

The Ebay guy bags them too and my box looks beat up just like Gunners. So you are up to $300 to get one shipped in a real box. Ebay guys shipping is on and off. Some take weeks while others less than a week. Not much difference just $40 more. Both are working from a house with no storefront. Optics Planet is on and off too but they use boxes and mine was pristine.

BudK uses UPS and ships in a decent box for $16. I believe theirs is currently $229 plus $16 UPS.
BEAR IN MIND THIS IS A $393.29 SCOPE that isn't bound by MAP PRICING LIKE OTHER POPULAR BRANDS OF SCOPES SUCH AS ATHLON HAWKE VORTEX MTC OPTISAN ELEMENT FALCON AZTEC ARKEN RITON BLACKHOUND AND SO ON WHERE YOU PAY FULL PRICE.

I totally agree. I love an actual real free market. MAP pricing ranks right up there with "participation trophies" and "no child left behind". It is a Mommy way of doing business. I avoid MAP run manufacturers as much as I possibly can. If I buy from one it is only from blow outs like when they dump product on the market at half price through Midway with no regard for thier MAP channel partners. MAP contracts are a one way street.
I forgot about BudK. That is not a bad option at all. I really don't care about the box being prestine and the Alpha 6 is boxed extremely well to protect the scope itself. I guess replacing a scope damaged in shipping every once in awhile is trumped by cheap bagged shipping.

Hmmmmm, ordered on the 14th i think. USPS tracking shows it still stuck in CA and low and behold here it was in my mailbox today. Nice surprise. Yep, plastic bag but looks pristine.

Agree-the boxed scope is generally well protected by foam so damage is unlikely unless someone runs over it.
