Am I paranoid?

[StephanieC11]

Ok so on the 19th I ordered over 100.00 in ammo from Outdoorlimited. I got an email with the order confirmation and order #, the money has already been taken out of my account but I have yet to get an item shipped e mail. Those of you that have ordered from this place in the past, is this the norm? Am I just being paranoid? I know it's been "only" two days but still....

 

[Muss Muggins]

Well, I can't believe that any ammo outlet is shipping ammo in two days. Plus, you can't be called paranoid if they're actually out to get you . . .

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

$100? What did you buy? Like, 10 bullets?

Everything is slow right now. I'm waiting on some 9mm heads from Midsouth. I have been waiting on some chainsaw parts to ship for about 6 weeks now. No one is working and the ones who are don't want to be. Midsouth is a reputable place and I've bought a lot from them over the years so I don't worry when they charge and then there is a delay. Good luck!

I have to go now. There's a black van in my driveway.

I went to their website and copied the statement below. It pretty much echoes all the ammo business sites these days.


We are experiencing high order volume. Orders placed now are shipping in 7-10 days. Please do not call or email about order status. We are shipping orders as fast as possible. Thank you.

I'll hang in little longer!

Why would anyone work when you don't need to pay rent, pay your school loans back, cash is coming in the mail, ... I'm only worried about 10$ a gallon gas.

Over $100.00 I didn't want to blurt out the exact amount. I got 2 50 round boxes of 9mm . And thank you... I did think that maybe processing the order, I'm in a long line with other orders getting sent out.

I've ordered from them a coupla three times or so, always
good to go. They do a better job packaging than some other
places, too.

Delays Everywhere

Fulfilling the order is only half of the battle.

The Post Office took a month to get me a 2 Day Delivery package..........

8 or 9 weeks is what they emailed me back in December.

Patience is key!

 

[Muddyboot]

You should be paranoid, I ordered from the same place and it arrived 15 minutes later....

Wednesday I bought 5 boxes of Browning 9mm, brass case, FMJ, at my LGS for $17.99 per box. 5 box limit. Just to make you feel worse. (Kidding - welcome to the forum.)

I happened to drop by, and everybody coming from the back of the store was carrying boxes of ammo, so I knew something had just arrived. They received a whole pallet load that morning, and just set the pallet out in the aisle. This was mid afternoon, and I expect it was gone by day's end. I ran into a good friend there who didn't need any 9mm, and an ex-girlfriend asked me in a text to get 5 for her, so I was able to get 10 boxes.

I'm not a 9mm guy. Never carry a 9, infrequently shoot mine, but in this day and age, when something I do shoot is in stock for a halfway reasonable price, I buy the limit.

Nahhh. if you were paranoid you'd worry that the only reason they shipped so fast is so they can REALLY make you wait on the next shipment.

I just finished shopping for general.....

....general reloading items and I had to make a minimum order but EVERYTHING is out of stock. Trim tools, brass, EVERYTHING...

I did finally add some shoot and see targets they had in stock.

And the only reason I ordered from them in the first place was that they were the only ones that had any 8mm bullets in stock under .50 each.

It was Grafs and I like ordering from Grafs but they are way behind just like everybody else and it's going to take an extra 15 days to get them shipped.

What a ZOO!
