Backorder horror stories

Just a pain in the buttocks;
3 orders from Optics Planet.
Called all three times to verify stock and was told "In Stock".
10 minutes later got emails (all three orders) stating "On Hold - Just sold out".

Bullcrap. I am done with Optics Planet.

Has anyone ordered LPK's from Lanworld recently? I emailed them and was told the lead time is approximately 60-90 days and I was wondering how accurate that estimate is. Thanks.

I ordered 2 lpks direct from stag and was informed

Ordered 1K rounds of 9mm and 38spl from Georgia-Arms on May 19. Lead time posted on website says 3-5 weeks. Their website now states 10-12 weeks and don't bug us because your queries are slowing order fulfillment.

At least they don't charge until they ship.

Back just before the 1989 ban I ordered a 2 AR uppers for my soon to be registered lower receivers.I received 1 off them about 3 months after ordering.I called and asked about the other one and they said soon.Well,another 3 months go by and still no other upper.So I ordered one from a different place.3 months went by and my new order from the second place shows up.So I am happy,I have 2 complete AR rifles.About 3 months after all that,my second one from my first order shows up out of the blue.They charged my card and just sent it out.So I had to go buy an other lower receiver for that upper after my 1 year wait.You can never have to many AR rifles
