Another botach tactical ***

[84z28]

Tried to order a magpul afg2 through them for a nice upgrad for my 15-22. Since I signed up to be a member I got a decent discount and there's free shipping. Just got and email 2 days later saying its back order with no exact eta. Didn't think that would happen with just a foregrip.

Join the club. I ordered magpul magazine followers,i got a shipping tracking number a few hrs later stating they have shipped. The next day they said they were back ordered and refunded my money. I have done business with botach in the summer with no issues. With all the panic buying and hoarding going on. Its going to be a while to get anything from botach or other places for that matter.

I buy my Magpul parts on Amazon. Free two day shipping.
Primary arms.com is also good when they are in stock

Botach is an awful company...throw it on your Do Not Spend $ List along with CTD

 

[rhinoh]

I've never bought anything from CTD so don't know about them but Botach is definitely on my "never use again" list..

I had a similar experience with this company, where it appeared the item was in stock but a few days later I was notified it wasn't. Inconvenient yes. Reason to bad talk a company online... no.

I run a business too & wonder what would happen to me if I was bombarded with orders, as never before. Yes, some companies have pretty darn good, real time inventory systems, but do you really want to bash every company that was not 100% prepared for this rush to order everything gun? Heck, the class 3 dealer down the road had to lock the door & tell walk up customers to go away, so that they could attempt to handle the rush of online orders.

In my situation, my card was not charged & I was given the opportunity to cancel or backorder. I hold no grudge for this company & understand these are trying times in this industry, and would gladly try them again when everything gets back to normal... whatever that is.

Let me dig through my parts box... I did have a black one, if I still got it you can have it.

 

[rhinoh]

My experience with Botach -ordered IN STOCK items online.
After a week I inquired why I didn't have them....turned out they did not have what they showed IN STOCK and did not know WHEN they would have them.
They were still shown as IN STOCK well after I ordered, yet they actually didn't have any. Did I mention they inflated they price 50% beyond "list price"? For something they didn't even have?
Yes I'll badmouth a company that does that. It is not acceptable to me.

And just what was wrong with your stock 15-22?

I have a couple of Magpul 30 rounders on b/o with them. Showed in stock when I bought them but a few days later I got an email saying same thing as posted above...sorry...if you want to cancel let us know. To tell the truth I forgot about them until I saw this thread. Figure I'll just sit on them as the haven't charged my CC but going forward I'll keep my business with better companies like Midway and JoeBob etc

Granted, they are having inventory issues but why complain about the pricing now? Seems to me you were plenty happy with their pricing initially, as you placed an order. We do live in a free enterprise society where supply & demand can impact pricing. If you were willing to pay a surcharge for a non essential item, why bring it up now & attempt to damage their reputation? You agree to their pricing. You could have said no.

Now if you wish to badmouth a company that is having inventory issues during this time of mass hysteria, where folks like you are willing to pay 50% extra for an item, then that is your choice. I'm just saying I can easily see where certain companies were caught unexpected & don't have the tools or resources to handle all these orders properly & in a timely manner.

Botach wasn't one of those companies. That's how their "business" is ran all the time.

They've been doing this **** for years....fishing for customers.

 

[DialTone301]

Do you people not do a little research on companies before you buy from them??? This is how Botach operates...either don't order from them or quit whining when it isn't shipped right away.

I have ordered from them a couple of times when I wasn't in a hurry and didn't have any problems.

All you state is understood, but why does Botach send emails stating items are shipped and even provide a shipping/tracking number only to send you an email days later that the items are on backorder with no ETA. They must have the worst inventory system or ???

I got started ordering items from Botach after purchasing an item from them listed on eBay. I actually bought a couple of things from them on eBay. One thing to note, items listed on eBay ship out...items on Botach website, GOOD LUCK!

 

[atheophilos]

I ordered from them and received a confirmation email, followed by an item shipped email, and two days later followed by and out of stock email. I emailed them for an explanation and never received a reply. I will not order from them again.

 

[GM4spd]

Do NOT order anything from botach if you can get it somewhere else. Pete

PM Sent thanks

I ordered all my Magpul Furniture from Midway save the front and rear Mbus as they had no stock.

I got those from "rrages" off ebay. I have ordered from them in the past with no issues and this was no diffent. They had a large red banner stating that orders would be slower than usual due to the high demand. I got them a week later than usual.

The high demand is even slowing huge places like Cabela's, Brownell's and the like.
