People just started receiving the long 10's.

I ordered the same in January and still nothing. Promag officially sucks.

But did they get them from S&W or a dealer?

Fair enough, but I've got a good feeling.

matt berry · #**109** 03-14-2013, 12:32 PM

I placed an order for the 25rds back on Dec 22, still haven't heard a peep from S&W, except for the original order confirmation email. Being stuck with only one magazine sucks.

Boz · #**110** 03-15-2013, 06:52 AM

IIRC, didn't Smith & Wesson have some sort of ordering issue back in December that caused some orders to get lost? Might want to call to make sure your back order still exists.

Blockhead75 · #**111** 03-15-2013, 11:52 AM

I was wrong. I called S&W today and the order they are shipping to me is 10rd magazines and not the 25rd ones. The rep told me that they aren't giving people dates and when they will have mags anymore. At least I'm getting some mags!

Let us know if/when you actually receive a mag from S&W. I've been following this forum closely and I have not read of a single case when someone actually received a magazine directly from S&W since late last year. I'll believe it when I read an actual magazine order placed directly with S&W has been received in the mail.

RPeacock1128 · #**113** 03-15-2013, 01:55 PM

Yes, please notify us if anyone receives an order consisting of a 10 round short, 10 round long or 25 round S&W OEM Factory Magazine for the M&P 15-22 that originated from a backorder with S&W direct.

I need to know if I have to start selling my kid's toys to get the money I'll need to buy magazines on GunBroker.

Blockhead75 · #**114** 03-15-2013, 03:06 PM

The rep told me today that my order had just shipped. We'll see....

shield · #**115** 03-15-2013, 06:11 PM

Just got a Fedex shipping notice for my 10 round long that was ordered January 10th direct from S&W.

Me too ordered mine on Jan 12

Pagan · #**117** 03-15-2013, 09:09 PM

Email today that my S & W order shipped. Ordered 2 10 shorts and 2 25's on January 13. Email didn't say which shipped or if all shipped, guess we'll see.

Enjoy those shorts, your 25's are going out with new 15-22's.

Biskit · #**119** 03-16-2013, 02:04 AM

Yep, I emailed smith and wesson today regarding my order of 5 10round longs and 5 25rounders...
The Customer service guy replied 30 min later with a tracking number for me and said they just shipped them out today.
Pretty ironic, I haven't heard a word from them in 30 days, and just as I decide to check in and see what the status was, they ship. A nice surprise....Either way, at least the 10 longs are coming, which ill just convert and still don't have an ETA on the 25 rounders...

JLK* · #**120** 03-16-2013, 06:33 AM

I ordered my 10 round long mags January 12 and I too got a tracking number and shipping notification yesterday.

Heatwave3 · #**121** 03-16-2013, 10:16 AM

Still haven't heard of anyone that actually received them. What's up with that?

Fedex said mine will arrive next Friday, 3/22. Tracking status shows in transit. Probably see a lot of posts here over the next week confirming delivery of mags.

Blockhead75 · #**123** 03-16-2013, 02:14 PM

Fedex says mine will be delivered on the 21st.

Biskit · #**124** 03-16-2013, 02:48 PM

Tracking shows currently in transit
Delivery date 3/21....

Blaster22 · #**125** 03-16-2013, 08:24 PM

Just got shipping notice for the 10rd longs I ordered on 1/10 and 1/14.

Funny how all these are shipping at once...If these are truly made by hand as one poster described, you'd think they'd be trickling out.

Err · #**126** 03-16-2013, 10:45 PM

I am screwed as starting in April we can no longer have magazines that hold more than 7 rounds shipped to NY nor purchase them locally. I have 6 right now. FML.

JLK* · #**127** 03-18-2013, 06:29 PM

My 10 rd magazines from S&W arrived today!

I believe that's the first oem magazine delivered in 2013 from S&W. Did you get your full order and when was it placed with S&W?

Yes, got my full order that was placed on January 12.

Oh! And they were just loose in the shipping bag. No packaging whatsoever.

What do you expect for $2 above retail?

Not complaining at all.

I think it just shows they are trying to get them out as fast as they can.

All I ordered were the 10 round versions so I'm happy to see they are shipping.

FedEx shows Sat. 3/23 delivery for 25 Round Mags ordered Jan 14th.

I have always thought the fancy packaging is a waste of money and resources. Something else to throw in the trash.

IMO, packaging serves a purpose... it prevents damage during shipment. Sure, some of these parts, such as magazines are designed to take abuse, but I guarantee you no one here abuses their magazines the way a shipper will. We ship many packages a day and I am sometimes shocked at the damage a shipper can inflict.

I just recently received a S&W magazine from Primary Arms & it was boxed up & had plenty of packing material. Yes, I paid more thru them but appreciated the great packaging.

Majorlk · #**137** 03-19-2013, 11:05 AM

Jim, I'm talking about INDIVIDUAL unit packaging, not box packing. Even that can be carried to an extreme. I recently ordered targets from Midway - 8" shoot and see targets - three packs, total about 1/2" thick. They would all have fit nicely in a Tyvek envelope.

Instead they came in a 12"x14"x6" box, filled with air-pillow cushioning. Massive overkill. This is typical with Midway.

90 percent of individual small item unit packaging is for advertising, not product protection. A plastic bag with a big cardboard hanger tag does essentially nothing for protection.

Heatwave3 · #**138** 03-19-2013, 11:21 AM

Looks like some modest progress is being made with the oem magazines. I ordered in Feb. Hopefully mine aren't too far behind.

Sarcasm.

I think they should be packaged just like the store bought ones that are/were $17.99.

Blockhead75 · #**140** 03-21-2013, 12:30 AM

My 10rd mags arrived today from S&W. I too am disappointed they didn't come with some individual packaging, even just plastic bags.

Blaster22 · #**141** 03-21-2013, 08:37 AM

I received my long 10 rounders today. All stuffed in a brown box. I'm glad they didn't waste resources on individual packaging. These are commodity consumable items, not fine china.

Why? All you are going to do with the packaging is throw it in the trash. Individual packaging on something like magazines is a waste of money and resources.

I'm amazed at the things people find to complain about.

If I want to sell any a lack of individual packaging hurts value. Not hard to understand.

Don't you believe it. On a firearm, yea, on a magazine ...

I guess it's a matter of philosophy. I buy things to actually use, not for some future resale.

It's not a belief or a philosophy, it's the experience of doing business. I have an at home business and you will not get the same price for something out of packaging.

I haven't had any issues getting people to part with their money on my overpriced mags that don't have wrapping.

I'll buy your new magazines out of the packaging for whatever price you paid plus shipping!

My 10 round mag was delivered yesterday, and soon after converted to 25 rounds
