Is Optics Planet Improving?

Im curious if they have improved. Last time I ordered something from them was back in 2011. Ordered a scope and case gauge.
Case gauge was back ordered. They finally got them in after two months.
They didnt hold the scope, now that was backordered.
They couldnt get both in at the same time and they wouldnt hold it. They ended up cancelling after about eight months.

I had a few things backordered, but they shipped what they could. I ordered 5 items, 4 out of stock/backordered, they shipped the first item immediately. Then, 3 things came back into stock, roughly a week apart, and they shipped them in the second week. I'm waiting for the last item, says June, I ordered in Januaray.

I don't know what their shipping batch system is - but it would really suck if they chance your order availability by not holding it. Maybe there's a queue system, if no one's queued up for your backordered item, you get it shipped immediately

4 orders with no issues in the past 2 months now. Always check to make sure there's plenty in stock. Not check for availability, not backordered. Unless you want to wait till 2022.

They canceled my order after 8 months and said:
"JP Enterprises Case gauge cut with chamber finish reamer .223 JPCG-223" was discontinued. I told them their website shows 3 in stock. Im guessing they meant was the price increased, and the price I paid several months ago wasnt gonna cut it.

I wrote them off forever when they decided to be "good corporate citizens" and voluntarily stopped shipping otherwise legal items to California. My dollars go elsewhere.

My experience too, ordered two boxes of 5.7 X 28 and while "backordered" they never really said how long until a later email stating they should be in 3-25-21.

At least the price was decent and a name brand.

All you guys with a 10% discount, listen up!

Put what you want in your sbipping cart, then call them for best price.

You will get a better discount.

I've never bad an issue with them and I have bought some very unique parts that were not available anywhere else that I could find on line.

It always surprises me that others are getting shafted.

Don't get me wrong, I've been punked in the past before. To the point where if they ever put anything on hold for back order or delay I just cancel the whole order.
