Tough times these days.
So I purchased a stripped lower and matched complete upper from a (somewhat) well known SoCal manufacturer. I already own their stuff and am satisfied with the quality. At time of purchase and even currently on their product webpage, Vendor X (to be named) had no warning of shipping delays, out of stock, build to order, or backorder.
Typical internet purchase complete and I sat back and waited.
After a few weeks I emailed them. Was told, current build time was 6 - 8 weeks. At that time I told them I was moving out of SoCal at end of October, so need to know if they can deliver.
After six weeks, I emailed them again. Was told me they are running 8 - 12 weeks to ship.
After eight weeks, I emailed them again. Was told they are running 12 - 16 weeks but will "make sure" to get my parts shipped by 12 week timeframe.
Week 13 now. Last update was the parts were "in paint." Fail on my part, shoulda went with black. They did offer a refund at that point but I thought maybe they would ship soon. Fail again.
Now waiting for their latest update. Maybe I should drive down there and see wtf is going on.
I could use a vendor feedback link at this point.
Rant over, for now.
