Optics Planet

[Horrendo Revolver]

There was a recent thread I posted on about a bad experience I had with Optics Planet awhile back(http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1412655). Optics Planet obviously read the post and a lady named Carly contacted me to let me know Optics Planet wanted to make it right. They did. I was offered a generous gift certificate but instead I asked for some merchandise that cost a little more than the offered gift certificate. The merchandise arrived yesterday. Seems like Optics Planet is on the right track.

Besides there inventory count I have never had a problem with them. They also take paypal credit which is awesome for me because I do not have a real credit card lol.

Also, you won something and it was not up to par with a paid for product. Meh, if it was something you paid for I would be miffed.

Ive ordered thousands of dollars worth of optics from them over the years and never an issue.

I ordered a mid-priced piece of glass from them recently--it arrived promptly with no problems.

3 years later and still touchy, seems like more than a little miffed.
What were the stipulations involved with the drawing?
Also they offered a gift certificate that you admit was generous but you instead ask for even more than that. We'll probably find that trijicons in the marketplace soon.

Plus 1! I've had great service and deals from Optics Planet.

Your post was ridiculous. In June of 2015 Optics Planet had a drawing. One of the prizes was a NEW Trijicon 3-9x40 AccuPoint. I won the Accupoint. The scope was so old the tritium was 100% burned out. Yes I was miffed as any NORMAL person would be. The gift certificate was for $100.00. This was what I asked for - https://www.opticsplanet.com/lyman-u...o-7862003.html. It cost $118.49. That’s much much less than the value of a fully functional AccuPower. Optics Planet agreed to my request immediately so they obviously didn’t have an issue with it. But you do. I was miffed at the time but not when I made the post recently. I gave the scope to a college student I was working with because he had a rifle but no scope, and mounted it for him. Sent him a text message and he said he still has the scope so I doubt the scope will be for sale anytime soon.

“We'll probably find that trijicons in the marketplace soon.“. Stupid statement. Why would I hold on to the scope for 2.5 years and then suddenly sell it because I got a new case trimmer. Get a life and quit trolling.

I've gotten some insane deals from Optics Planet that no other vendor would come close to matching. There prices fluctuate like no other vendor from day to day, so it does take patience to find the low low price sometimes.

You're holding a 3-year grudge because you got a free scope with a minor defect...? LOL

I've only ordered from Optics Planet once; I bought an ACOG, and the transaction went just fine. No complaints here.

In stock in warehouse items are ok, special vendor orders may not be in stock (ordered Aero Precison scope mount took 3 months to arrive)

Someone started a thread wanting info on Trjicon Warranty service. I posted about my experience. Optics Planet happened to play a role in the story. This in turn gets translated into a three year hard on for Optics Planet? I don’t get it. In my original post I didn’t even say I’d never use them again.

The name Trijicon is pretty much synonymous with battery free illumination. If you get a Trijicon product new and the and there is no illumination is that considered a minor defect?

The purpose of this thread was to compliment Optics Planet yet it seems some people are taking it as just the opposite. I really don’t get it.

Have you ever owned a tritium-powered optic?

Better yet, have you ever owned a tritium-powered optic manufactured by Trijicon?

I could be wrong but I was sure that the Accupoint only came out about 10 years ago?

With that being said, if you understand how Tritium works, you'll know that it has a half-life of roughly 12 1/2 years. This means, after 12 1/2 years, the tritium will only glow half as much as it did when the scope was first built.

The tritium in these optics do not power the reticle to be day light bright; instead they are dimly lit as to not disturb one's night-vision under low to no light.

Anyway, good on Optics Planet for helping you out.

Yea I understand. I got a scope that had tritium in it and it was not visible to my eyes. Trijicon told me the scope was old enough that the tritium needed to be recharged and there would be a fee for it.
