Concern about Prepper Gun Shop

[PrepperGunShop]

I'd like to weigh in on this if I may. Currently, We are (obviously) Experiencing Extremely heavy order volume. We did send out an email back when we first got told by the lawyers that if you wanted to cancel, we would happily do so, no problem. Now, 4 days later, we have been shipping like crazy, and have literal stacks of orders to be packed up. For us to have to take a staff member to try to sift through said stacks of printed orders for a single one that is being cancelled, throws a gigantic wrench in the spokes, and simply is not feasible at this time. We are shipping every order that was placed with us (something around 700 went out yesterday and we're pulling everyone off phones today again too) and if you'd like to return it, we will send a label at no charge to you to get this back to us. We'd like to thank everyone for the support and understanding they've shown us in the last week here and are proud to have been the first (?) shop to state that we'd send mags to CA. As we have previously stated, We were devastated that we had to waffle on Saturday, but we kept pressing our lawyers and they came to the (Correct) decision that we could start shipping. Every order from Friday on, unless you emailed us to cancel was kept and will be fulfilled. Thank you all again, and we look forward to being able to send you all as much freedom as we can manage to ship. Keep Fighting California. North Dakota has your backs.

I have placed quite a few orders through preppers over the years, they will continue to be one of my go to stores.


What also needs to be taken into account. If a company drop ships, think of how busy their supplier was.

What you don’t seem to understand is they being doing good things for Ca for a long time shipping in guns when other companies wouldn’t do business in Ca, so just because your one order for mags didn’t go as smoothly as you hoped now you want to rip them.

Op please don’t tell me your one of those guys who rip the NRA for not doing anything in Ca, but now want to go buy a bunch of SCM!

If i remember correctly. They did not say they were caught up on orders, they said they were caught up on inventory. I dont want to speak for them, but i applaud them for not taking orders in that window of uncertainty.


Friday night was unexplainable. I was on midwayusa, PSA, grabagun, jestice, taylor freelance, a few others as well.


All of these websites were slow, i had pages loading in the background, while on a few forums. I could hear the telephone screech in my head.

I'm not "new." I am a years-long lurker, and have not signed up to post prior largely because of the attitude I'm getting in this thread (seen often across the forum).

Ok, you get a pass since you been gleaning info for years.

FWIW I ordered from preppers friday night the 29th. I just received a tracking number at 3AM this morning. So it took 6 days but it's out the door now! Woot!

Also, they had EVERY website beat on pricing, by A LOT.


No offense to grabagun, i do wish i placed that order with midwayusa. But i am not angry with them just wish one of my orders came through already.

We have taken the time, and went to go find and pull your order which would have shipped today, to be cancelled. you will receive a full refund. As for why 4 days ago cancelling was immensely easier than cancelling now, because the orders hadn't been processed and printed yet, so it was only in the computer that they had to be taken care of. Now it's in 3 places. Thanks for your business and we hope you have a fantastic day.

I placed two orders Friday with Preppers and I got two tracking numbers from them, one on Tuesday and one yesterday.

I think people are are seriously underestimating the volume of orders that have been placed. It is an outsized volume, not jut a little bump. The scale must be overwhelming to these smaller outfits. So I understand and can give them the benefit of the doubt. I think we all need to be patient.

I do think it would behoove any outfit who is being crushed by the weight of these orders to COMMUNICATE with customers who have outstanding orders, daily in an email blast or something. Make it fun. Share some pics and tell us war stories from the front lines about processing these orders. Let us know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

When the dust settles, we will look back on this week as a special one that we all shared in. Yes in retrospect there will be some winners, some losers, some patriots and some villains. But it is too soon IMO to start categorizing most of them.
