Black Friday at Xtreme Bullets

It seems a lot of us posting here ordered the same bullets from X-Treme,the 38cal plated DEWC.

Much better service from X-Treme than in the past when orders took a long time to arrive,arrived in a broken box or had 2 different calibers mixed together.Oh yes,also a snippy lady in customer service answering my complaints.

I swore to myself I would not be ordering from them.
 
I am a bit disenchanted with x-treme. it has been ten days, and the website still says, 'processing'. I made sure that everything was in stock before I ordered 'em. I was really hoping to have them for this coming weekend.
 
I got my order delivered last Tuesday,4 days after ordering right after I got the 20% off/free shipping email.

I've already loaded 300 of the 148gr DEWC over 3.5gr of Titegroup in 357mag Federal cases to 1.365" OAL.I placed a light crimp in the canular.

I bought a bunch of stuff during their 20% off + free shipping deal. My shipment from Xtreme came within about 10 days of ordering. Not too bad.

My UPS guy was not very happy when he walked up to my door with a significant amount of lead.
 
Huh...The UPS trucks out here usually have a wheeled cart on them for heavy delivery. They have to be able to carry 70 pounds to I think. I frequently get heavy deliveries of ammo etc here and they use the carts. If any UPS guys here...I'm just busting your chops!! Going to have to keep an eye on these sales sure is easier to receive a shipment than go to a store and get it.. I have a delivery coming today from Midway but not real heavy. (AR upper etc and ammo) from a Cyber Monday sale
 
sixteen days, and their website still says, processing. not all that impressed with the service.

about three years ago, I ordered extra batteries for my quadcopter. that took twelve days, and they came all the way from china.

I kinda regret buying the t-shirt. I hate to endorse someone that has this bad of service.
 
I really do not understand why people get bent out of shape when they order something and it does not arrive in a few "days"??

No matter what company, when they have a big sale they have lots of shipments to make, especially this time of year.

Perhaps order stuff before you actually need it the next day.:eek::confused:

With all the threads about Xtreme Bullets being the next best thing to sliced bread, whats so special about them?

There are many, many other places to order bullets.

I ordered on the 26th of last month, that is not really expecting them overnight. why are you so caustic, nothing was ever been said about expecting next day service?

when I order from cdnn, midway, cigars, amazon, and many others, I generally get my order in about three days. buds gunshop and comptac, takes about a week. lowes and home depot, generally get my items to me in about three days. so.....expecting something in about a week or less, is not so unrealistic.

in my experience, I would say in the last 20-25 years of mail/online ordering, this is the worst service yet.

Most of the companies you list are totally different business models than a place like Xtreme. Apples to Oranges

"next day" , was in quotes exaggerate, not reality

All I was trying to say was if you are not happy, buy from someplace else.
 
Well I like their bullets too. I am sure they had a backlog of orders due to the BF sale(free shipping too?) The sporting companies like this have another thing that happens too. These guys make bullets..many of the employees probably hunt. Finding me running my gun shop back east on the first day of goose season or the first day of deer hunting??? Guarantee you not....Maybe not even the 2nd 3rd or 4th day either
 
Funny thing is that I got my order in just over one a week - on 12/2/17. That was a couple of days later than they were originally expected to arrive, but still plenty quick enough for me.
Maybe I just got lucky and they had a lots of what I ordered in stock.
 
Yeah that is what I was thinking. I got my BF 38 caliber 148gr DEWC's in about 3 days. I remember only one order that I made to Xtreme where it took them some time to fill it, maybe a couple weeks. If you don't mind me asking Hawk, what did you order? Maybe they are out of stock and waiting to make a new batch.
 
I checked their website before I ordered, and they said they had everything in stock that I intended to order. I called them on the 7th, and they said they would ship soon. it is 23 days and they still say 'processing'.
I have bought custom holsters that did not take this long.

I think they read this forum and have deliberately singled you out;)(JK)

I understand your frustration, That is to long.

Heck cancel the order.
 
I cancelled, after 24 days!!! I regret not getting the bullets, I need them. I do not regret not getting the t-shirt and stickers, I will never endorse a company with such poor service.
 
I've switched to Berry's lately - Cabela's often have them on sale and often with free shipping (or $5 shipping) - makes better deal than Xtreme.
