Online Shooting Supply Stores. Expect delays?
« on: November 12, 2008, 08:19:53 AM »
Made an order on Thursday of last week to one of the suppliers I normally buy from and made an inquiry today to check the shipping status, as I usually get an email the same day or next giving the shipping tracking data.
This is the reply:
"Your package should ship today.  We have been running 2-3 days behind in shipping due to a large increase in orders."

Democratic Presidents do tend to increase gun sales. Even before they take office.

I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Mid South ($250) mostly bullets and some from Midway ($150) Sunday evening. I got it all today (Wed.) They both said that what I ordered was in stock and it all arrived. I did want some certain bullets (Speer .357 180 FP) and they were out, both of them. But that is not unusual that they would be out of some thing that I wanted. I ordered a few items through Midway, because Mid South was out of it or do not stock it in the first place. I will get the 180's on the next order. I wanted to get a bunch more stuff, but I gotta save some more, before I can place another order.

Well - I did get into reloading to save money ::) But that has not worked out, so now I call it my "hobby".

I enjoy reloading more than shooting.  Go figure.

One local gunshop I visited yesterday to pick up some .223 ammo had several cases of 1000 7.62.39 ammo out in the shelves and I'd bet they had more in the back.

Dunno about delays, I ordered a couple scopes from Midsouth this morning, they were shipped this afternoon. Must not be any delays there, that's the normal service I get from them.  ;)

I have not experienced this either...

 I placed an order to Midsouth AND Midway this week. Both completed and I got back conformations of shipment the next day...

I dont post this to be confrontational. It dosen't suprise me in the least so I am NOT DOUBTING you had some problems. I am only pointing out that it did not happen to me.

PS,  UPDATE: 11-15-08 Midways order arrived!!

Perhaps the delay was due to the sale flyer Grafs had sent out. With stuff like Nosler .270 - 130 gr. Accubonds for $9.99 per box of 50, and HAZ FREE Primer deals, they probably got swamped.

I keep hear about this "shortage" due to the election, but I went over to our local shop last week and he had loads of stuff. Of course maybe he figured on the election and did a huge order ahead of time.

here everthing at the gun stores is almost gone. All the ARs are gone, reloading supplies are almost the same. Sportsman is even out of almost everthing but bolt guns and black powder. they wonlt even take orders on ammo and reloading  supplies.
