Optics Planet reviews

Only ordered from them once I believe, ordered an Aimpoint Pro Patrol for one of my AR's. Pretty uneventful and received it quickly.

I was on there the other day looking at a threaded barrel for my Glock 23, may order that from them.
 
They seem to get more bad reviews than good. I only ordered from them once. A 1911 barrel bushing wrench and a box of ammo. They had the wrench classified on their site as a reloading tool, restricted in Illinois. After 5 days of explaining what it is and waiting on their "compliance Team" to check it out I gave up and cancelled the order. I have seen no reason to spend my money with them when there are other places that respond and ship promptly.
 
Optics Planet

I have purchased from them over the years, mostly sights, a few holsters and other things. Service was acceptable.

Their pricing is better than some other sites, but I find their website difficult to navigate.
 
Eurooptic is a better choice

I bought several items from optics.planet but there was always seems to be a delay in shipping, or out of stock. I finally starting ordering from eurooptic.com and i have never had a problem. Good prices and fast shipping. I will not buy from optics.planet.com again
 
No complaints. I've had very good experience with OP & DVOR over the years with both purchases and returns.
 
Thanks for the replies.
I'm aware of other merchants.
Will find out if my order with
Optics Planet arrives as promised.

Did order a few pounds of Varget from
Powder Valley. :D
 
I've ordered from them for years. I wouldn't order anything from them you need immediately, but if you can wait a week or so they are a good place to compare prices and order from when they are the best price.
 
They suck! Don't do it lol, they advertise everything like they have sitting right on the shelf, my binary trigger took 3 months to show up. They flat out don't care either, send all the emails ya want, they ignore. Find somewhere else!!
 
I've ordered several things from them. Got burned one time on a not listed out of stock item.

Now I'll call to make sure everything's in stock I need to order.
 
Re: buying from Optics Planet

I've bought a number of things from Optics Planet, and have zero negative comments. After checking prices on comparable items at other vendors went with OP and have always been pleased with quality, service, and shipping speed. Have not experienced the out of stock issues talked about by others.
And since others have talked about Midway USA, I used them for several items in the past, but don't any longer due to high cost of shipping. I DO appreciate Mr Potterfield's how to videos, and they also have very good customer service.
 
Zero problems with OP here. I've bought about a half dozen things from them, almost all red dots or night sights and all came pretty quickly.
 
I've ordered several items from them. My experience has been hit or miss. I've always gotten what I've ordered, but if you get the notification that it's out of stock you can end up waiting for a long time to get it.

They tend to have great prices, but I never anything that I need any time soon from them. Just in case it ends up being backordered.
 
Mostly good experience with them. Prices are very good. Delivery time is reasonable (not as good as Amazon, but not real slow).

Only negative experience I had, which was partly my fault is that I ordered a Holoson optic, when they were offering 15% off promotion. By the time it arrived, the promotion was over (by a day), and I realized I got the red dot, instead of green dot model (both were eligible).

I did an exchange, where they refunded the discounted price and I had to pay full price on the exchange.

Fair enough, but would have been nice for them to extend the price, considering the time it took them to deliver the unit, the promotion just ended, and I was just exchanging.

The bad part was I also had about $10-15 of " Planet Optic bucks" from prior purchases, which I used when I bought the original optic. I totally lost those, when exchanging the optic.

So, i just make sure that I order the right thing, when I get something from them.
 
I bought both of my CMMG .45 bcg/ barrel kits from them, 8 and 16 inch. Other than covid delays no problems. Sometimes you can save a little with blems or odd colors that don’t sell.
 
I’ve bought from them many times over the past 10 years, or so, including recently. They have a great selection of products, their pricing is good, I like their website/interface, and I’ve never had a problem with their customer service. I had to return a high dollar AR optic mount one time because of a stripped thread, and they were very good about the return, it was easy. Hope this helps.
