Pre -order ....What a joke.

[boresnake]

I have spent my time on pre-order lists. Not one ever delivered at a reasonable time. The longer you wait the better the choices become . Times must be good for the manufacturer. I had a prominent airgun dealer hold my $25. deposit for a year. Never happened. Performance is on their part. Let them play their PRE-ORDER games by themselves.

You think that's bad? How about a $600 charge to pre-order a gun?

 

[WoodWelder]

Well, manufacturers and gun shops don't want to be stuck with unsold stock. Too risky!

However, in this crappy economy I don't think it's a good thing to trust? I will only pre-order "gotta haves" not WANTS!

Interesting who thinks your post is funny????

I can't see that happening.

I have preordered several guns in the past and waited a few months on them, eventually they did arrive, and all is well in the universe.

I meant me going for it.

I'm more of a cash for goods kinda guy, but... The only pre-order thing I've ever done was for a set of VA target grips. That was expected and 30 days later they came. So I can't say never, but I can say only under certain circumstances with certain people.

Looking here pretty quick

Help with Kraford and Lypt

Ugh, I'm in a similar situation, though nowhere near as long waiting yet as some of you. I wish I would have seen this thread before I ordered. Their products are excellent, but it's frustrating being told in an email that something will be shipped in 1-2 days and then not hearing anything for...

I would only consider a pre-order from a large retailer like AOA or Piramyd. A small retailer could go tango uniform and then your money is gone.

I think you get the double middle finger while you wait. Counts for something right ?

It's the privilege.

Take like hw.. there pricing went way up , can't hardly keep there common everyday guns in stock and lots of that pre-order to get on .

!!BUT!!

They can make higher priced novelty guns like them anniversary models or them walnut stock guns .

So with that I see it's not a manufacturing issue it's planed .

You'd think you'd get your bread and butter guns out in the market before you go making a load of more expensive stuff I'm not buying .. heck I'm not buying the inflated everyday guns ..lol

Then how long ago was COVID and your still not up and going ? , really?

The one time in my life I've ever done anything like this was for the GK1 v3 in .25, $100 to hold a spot in the next shipment. That worked out. Might as well quit while I'm ahead i guess

 

[boresnake]

And then they wanted too give me a store credit.

 

[dan_house]

at this point, the only thing I'll pre-order is pizza

 

[coastal drifter]

One of the guns I pre ordered was the 1st gen Impact when AOA was selling them. It was like 3 months if I recall but in the end worth it to me.

Thats like back when the Hammer first came about. Everyone jumping on the bandwagon and "Pre-Ordering" it. Then Umarex drug their feet on the release dates, time and time again......Almost a year. I got fed up with waiting on it to even be RELEASED much less the pre-order bs, I went and ordered a .457 CF Texan and had it in my hands within a few days.
