I purchased sights from them three different times with great results and super-fast shipping.

I only bought one item off Optics Planet, a Meprolight tritium front sight for my SW40VE back in 2020. Based on that one experience, they're good. Item was cheap, shipping was reasonable, arrived within about a week. No complaints.

I've never had good luck with Optics Planet. Every time I've ordered the site says product in stock. Once I ordered I get an email saying it's on backorder. Complete BS. If you want something call them first to confirm in stock. I won't use them again after they did that to me twice.
I've been a regular with Optics Planet for years, and their discount arm Dvor as well. Other than shipping being a routine shock, nothing different than most other internet retailers, they've been reliable and good suppliers. Watch their sales (and Dvor) and you can, occasionally, get an excellent deal.

I’ve bought a number of items from them, even returned a couple of them, including a holster. No issues or hassle at all. Waiting on a delivery today.

That is exactly why Midway USA is my go to for firearm related products. In decades of dealing with them I've never had an item listed in stock backordered.
I ordered a scope mount from them, got a good price and it was promptly shipped. Ordered a Garmin chronograph, got a notice it was on backorder and would be shipped soon but nada now for several weeks.

My complaint about OP is that they often offer an excellent selection, but many items are not in stock, and that is not clearly noted on the product description page. They could use a webb system that shows real time inventory, like many retailers do, but they choose not to. As a result, they have left me waiting on an item they didn't have in stock that I could have picked up elsewhere without the 3 or 4 week wait. I consider it a bit shady, and avoid OP if possible.

Just before Covid pricing and availability went crazy, A friend and I ordered several thousand rounds of different calibers...It took 14 months for it to dribble in to us. Optics Planet honored the original pricing.

Off my list. They are being ultra restrictive to WA residents. I think you can get a baseball cap or a keychain from them if you live here...
I have purchased a lot from Optics Planet over the past 4 years. Scopes, red dots, rings & mounts, iron sights, and parts. I have had a part backordered that showed as being in stock exactly once. Their pricing is excellent. Their customer service is very good, and I have returned several items without any hassle. Their selection is great. The search refinement on the website works well (as opposed to the new and “improved” Brownell’s site). No one beats their pricing, especially after you build up some of their “Optics Planet Bucks”.
I must say that treating residents of Washington state unfairly doesn’t sit well with me.

I quit buying from Optics Planet a couple years ago. Ordered and paid for an “in stock” item and it backordered and they charged my credit card. I contacted them and they couldn’t give me a ship date so I demanded a refund. This happened twice so I quit dealing with them.
^^^^^^^^ I'm with him...
Was a fan for several years but seems like a corporate response to Covid & crime uptick caused an actual stock vs ability to deliver issue that they have not been able to overcome.
Tried them twice again in past 2 years or so. 1 perfect, 1 took over week. Wouldn't be a bad deal but total cost has never been enough to justify a week or more wait time.
As many pointed out, plenty of places out there that will put item in hand within a few days for same or better. price.
They do appear to honor posted costs though,

I've purchased ammunition twice in the past year. decent price and fast service. Yes, watch the fine print for "out of stock" before adding to cart.

Just started buying from them, in November. So far, I've been very pleased. Make sure to check product availability link. It will tell you expected wait times. Great prices!
Ordered many times from them, nothing I absolutely needed tomorrow though. Good company.
