Ha! McMillan stocks enters the conversation. They take forever. If they screw up and mismake your order they’ll gladly remake it but you go back to the end of the line to wait all over again. To me that is horse hockey but that is what they’ve done for years. I think I have five McM stocks and at least two had errors on them, one had the wrong style adjustible comb and the other had the wrong trigger guard inlet. I ended up fixing the inlet with steel bed filler instead of waiting an additional 5 months. They know that most customers won’t deal with a second waiting period but I think it is extremely poor customer service. In hind sight I wish I got the tactical timmy bottom metal they cut the stock for instead of using the more traditional floor plate.My take on all this is if you are in a business, manufacturing something, you should...no....need to know what you are capable of. By this I mean if you say you will deliver a product in X amount of months then you should deliver it in X amount of months. Yes, I realize that there can be circumstances that may throw a wrench into the plan, but that can't be used as a chronic excuse. You have to know your business and how long it takes to produce something. I have been waiting for something I ordered 15+ months ago. I have had "updates" about the item being delivered, usually saying that it will be another few months. I have received 4 of those now, the latest stating delivery "maybe" in the spring of this year. If that does occur, it will be 18 months after I was promised a initial delivery of 4 months, to 6 months maximum. In the meantime, they have informed me that they are taking care of orders placed after my order first, before they start mine. I am really a very patient person..if I order something and you tell me that it will be ready in 6 months, then that is fine, I won't contact you until the 6 months is up. You set the time frame, I did not. You know your work load, I do not. You know your capabilities, I do not, so therefore I rely on what you tell me as that is all I have to go on. Again, a month, maybe even two, if there is some unforseen problem, but a year? Just my rant for the day....
Update on my grip situation....sent me an email about a month or so ago, said they were finsished...but...they were flawed. Had a place where a small branch had apparently grown out of. The quality was about a .5 on a scale of 1-10 of their usual work. They did offer me a discount, but it was almost insulting. They said they would make another pair, in about 3 months....not holding my breath as their definition of 3 months is far different from mine. If, and a big if, I get them in 3 months, it will have been 22 months since the initial order where there was a promised delivery date of 4 to 6 months. Sounds like they have some of the same business practices as McM. They even told me that one of the delays was due to them fulfilling orders that came in after mine before they would make mine.Ha!
