    Ten Percent Firearms

    I've heard very good things about this shop which is why I did a little shopping with them. I placed an order last Tuesday but I still have not received the package. They're in Taft, Im in Santa Clarita - practically local. I ordered some kits from 44mags on Wednesday and that package arrived already and they're in Oregon. A takedown pin and a bullet button should fit right on an envelope with minimal postage. I was hoping on using the AR on the range this weekend but that wont happen.

    Wait, did you place an order 4 days ago or 11 days ago? Many businesses ship within a few days of when an order is placed.

      What don't you pick up the phone and call Wes to inquire about the status of your order? You can also email him at guns@tenpercentfirearms.com . Wes is very responsive, so don't stress - you are in good hands.

        Well I did call them and asked for availability and time of shipment before placing the order. I was told in stock and will ship right away. I'm merely stating my experience. Notice on my post that I'm not asking for help in resolving any matter, because there is nothing to resolve. I'm sure they're great hardworking people and sometimes things get a little crazy so efficiency drops a little. I'm just voicing out my opinion so that in an event that someone is in urgent need of something, maybe the best action would be to drive there and pick it up, or go somewhere else. If I sounded a little stressed or on edge, I apologize. It's really not a big deal so no need for me to take a chill pill.

          I'd make the call and ask when the parts shipped; nothing really to say until 10% lets you know where your order is.

          Save stress/on edge for serious stuff in life.

              Wes, gets me my stuff really quick. So I'm a little surprised to hear this, its got to be a mix up. I'm sure he will resolve the issue quickly, once he sees this. So I would relax about it.
              Look at the tyranny of party -- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty -- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes -- and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction...

                My first order with Wes ended up delayed a week but he emailed and explained and sent it right out. I had nothing but great service from him.

                    Sounds like the SHOT show people--- I'm sure he went... it takes a business down for at least a weeka and a half- backs things up.

                      I thought I saw 10% post someplace that he was having some kind of trouble.

                      I could be mistaken.

                        If you believe Wes still sells his guns at 10% above cost, I have a bidge to sell you.

                          Wes isn't here to rip you off and normally ships very fast. If there's a delay I'm sure there's an acceptable reason for it.

                          than those who would seek to destroy me.
                          Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
                          Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
                          And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

                            I just talked to my partner about this. Our usual ship days are Wednesdays and Sunday nights. We processed your order Wednesday night and packaged it up for mail Thursday. Unfortunately, my partner's got busy and didn't actually ship the non-priority mail envelopes until Friday. I apologize for the delay.

                            You still might have received your package Saturday, but my other partner has the delivery confirmation labels so I can't check.

                            My partner's are recycler's by profession so I think they get used to doing things on their time frame which I don't fault them for in the recycling business. I try to impress on them the importance that we get out shipments out when we say we will and why we want to try and do two days of shipping a week instead of just one.

                            We try to do it the way we do it so you can get your parts for the weekend. Most times that works out.

                            I am sorry this happened to you, but it has been an excellent lesson for my partners. They probably think I am just being anal, but as we can see from this customer's experience, when you ship a package does matter.

                            I have quite a few guys who placed orders today and those items will arrive on Tuesday. Usually the orders placed on Tuesday should be to you by Friday or Saturday at the latest. Sometimes things happen.

                              I've always had great service when ordering from Wes. Always got my orders in 2-4 days (depending on when I place the order). He's a great guy to deal with.

                              I know you can usually expect a couple days for shipping usps priority within CA. But did you tell them you need the stuff by friday? They might have tried to get your order out sooner knowing that.
