Anybody have something to say about this company? I want to buy cheap scope for my rifle.

Never ordered from them, but never heard anything bad about them.

The EoTechs are on sale! http://www.opticsplanet.net/eotech-h...sight-510.html

With free Scopecoat and UPS.

Have ordered from there several times. Awesome service, price, and quick delivery. Well packaged and very prompt shipping. Every order I placed was shipped the day I placed an order. They sent tracking info right away, so you can track your order.

I just got an order from them early today (10th), from an order I placed on the 7th. It was cheaper to order it from them + shipping, than it was to find at a local gun store. Every store I went to in SOCAL, didn't carry the item in stock. So, I decided to just order it from OP.

Ordered some stuff for a 3-gun night match.

I too have ordered several scopes from them. They are nice, have good prices and ship promptly.

I would recommend dealing with them.

I've also ordered a few things from them, overall good prices, large selection, good service. No tax in CA and almost always free shipping.

I have no complains. I'm always getting 10% discounts from them for writing reviews on the purchases I make. I've gotten all kinds of goodies from them. Items are always shipped promptly packaged extremely well.

Be sure to ask if they have your items in stock though. Some thing are special order only and take a while to get, like NF scopes. I have to wait a few weeks for my order, but the wait is worth it for a 10% discount on a NF.

Ditto on checking to make sure they have something in stock. I didn't do so and waited weeks for something that they didn't have and didn't have an ETA on when they would have it.

Thanks for all the replies.

ETA - Someone is manning their chat room on a Sunday, that's what I call customer service. What I need will be available in 10 days though.

also look for a coupon code, 5% sometimes

Nope, don't fall for it, they are BS'ing you!

I ordered a set of scope rings (That they had "on sale") and they emailed me that they were out of stock but would be there in 10 days. I cancelled the order and two weeks later (May 3rd) I ordered the same rings and was told again that they were out of stock but would be there in 10 days. (This whole time they have been listed as "on sale, with free UPS delivery", never out of stock.)

Now I started to get suspicious so I emailed them back and told them that I had received the same answer from my previous order and asked them if this was a standard reply to say that the OOS products would be there in 10 days? This was the answer that I received:


We are still holding on these items from Burris. They should be arriving in two weeks from today, and that is what they keep telling us, as we are starting to get a few orders on hold for this exact item. I have bumped you to the top of the list, so you will receive those when they first arrive back into our stock. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate in contacting us. Thank you for your patience with this order

Now they have gone from the standard "10 day" excuse to 2 weeks. I'm holding this email until May 18th when I will email them again amd ask about my order. And they are still listed as "on sale, with free UPS delivery".

[Darklyte27]

duno what to tell you, my two orders came..

They are real good if your items are in stock.

But, if they are out of stock they will feed you the "10 days" line when they have no idea of when they will receive them in stock.

[MrNiceGuy]

I bought from them a few times.
Like Fjold said, my in stock items came quick.

But my last order did NOT show "Out of Stock" on the website. So I placed an order to only get an email two days later that the items were not in stock and I will have to wait with no ETA.

My issue is a merchant should let the customer know BEFORE the order is placed if an item is "Out of Stock". In my situation, I needed my order relatively soon, they just wasted two days of my time when I could have ordered from someone else two days earlier.

Perhaps we can help you with the Burris rings? We can at least check stock and see if we can price match.

I've ordered from them in the past without issue, but never have had to deal with an "out of stock" item.
