Brownell's Orders.. for those of us on a list

[Monky]

Just got this from Brownell's. Can't say I didn't expect it @ some point.



We have experienced a truly unprecedented volume of orders recently. Because your trust is most important to us, we want to assure you we are doing our very best to achieve our goal of same/next day shipping on your orders.


However, as a result of industry-wide shortage of certain products, many customers like you have ordered out of stock items and have been placed on backorder status. We are in daily contact with our key suppliers to get as much inventory as they are able to send so we can fill backorders as quickly as possible.


It is our promise to fill all backorders as quickly as possible. We will not cancel your backorder unless you specifically request us to do so. Orders will be filled and shipped based on the date they were received. We will ship backordered items as soon as inventory arrives in our warehouse. You may receive multiple shipments, but remember you only pay shipping once with Brownells.


In addition, we are developing an order update system to keep you informed on the status and anticipated delivery date of your order.


You are our #1 Priority, so please know we are doing everything possible to get your order to you as quickly as we can.

I have yet to get that from them, and I ordered 2 Sig 229 mags from them what now? 3 weeks ago... Still backordered... This shortage is insane, and I pray it ends soon. But good to know they're working on it, I too would like a backorder status update.

[Squeeze]

Brownells is a real stand-up company and cares about their customers. I try to put as much of my hard-earned money in local vendors when the price is a close match to Brownells, but some things you can just get cheaper through Brownells, even after shipping. They are a great company and I hope they stay in business until the end of time.

[kwando]

You want to know what is weird about them? Maybe I shouldn't post this... but I will. But if you add an item to your cart, and don't check out, that item remains in your cart indefinitely. For instance I added some lowers to my cart, had no idea until i was online trying to order some mags when sure enough it allowed me to checkout EVEN THOUGH the item cannot be back ordered.

Bug in their ordering? Think they will fulfill the order?

Didn't you see the email? Monky is their first priority - you must be somewhere further down the list ;)

As it should be.

Kwando, probably a cookie. I have had that happen on a few sites. It's nice at times and annoying at others.. when you order something you didn't want to.

I just got my order shipped today from Brownells that I ordered from them on the 26th of Dec. My upper was a complete upper and was in stock when I ordered it and was listed as in stock aq few days after I ordered (sold out now.)

Just took them that long to process and ship.

[panic]

I recieved today finally another upper I ordered on the 23rd of Dec from a different place, it too was live stock and still took that long. No matter back ordered or not these companys got hammered by orders.....................

[henpecked]

If you have problems and cant get thru to brownells using the phone lines PM me and I can help.
I will be gone all next week at the shot show. Try the phone first.

[Madeinhb]

I just got the same Email just now.

[mahabali]

Just got that email too. I really am in no hurry but I do hope I get my order someday.

[spqrzilla]

The items in your online cart stay there through a cookie. Most online commerce website do this.

Brownell's is stand up people.

[MarkCO]

I got a very similar email. It said I was #1, but even though they told Monky he was #1, he is really #8. [ROFL2]

Your mom wrote that email so you'd feel better about yourself.

[MarkCO]

As long as we all get blue ribbons with our orders...

All kidding aside, Brownells is a great company. One thing the panic has done is reveal the companies that really care about their customers.

[DSB OUTDOORS]

Brownells, Midway USA, Cheaper then dirt, and J&G Sales. Got a message from all of them. Even though I havn't ordered anything recently from Brownells or J&G sales.

I thought we were all going to join in and make it clear to CTD that we're not doing business with them anymore after the shit they pulled recently (IE: gouging, ceasing on selling firearms, etc.)

[NightCat]

...Anyone know where to find Small Rifle Primers? Winchesters? CCI 400's???

[henpecked]

My order of 12-20-12 is being shipped today. I ordered the 10 pack of brownells 30 round AR mags

[mahabali]

My last order from them only took 10 weeks to ship.

[Byte Stryke]

you have 48 hours to cancel it before I murder and skull-rape my memory of you...




seriously yo, not good. When it got sticky, they shut us out.
wish you wouldn't do business there, But its your deal.

[sneakerd]

Just got a shipping notification on some AR mags I ordered a month or 2 ago.

[mrghost]

Got a shipping notice from Brownells this week for 20 round pmags ordered in December. I had actually gotten to the phase of writing that order off and forgetting about it.

[mackbamf]

I got my shipment email notification yesterday for a 10 pack of pmags I ordered almost four months ago. I actually forgot about the order so its kind of a bonus. After what I already had, then the air lift, now this. I'm pretty flush with pmags now...

[bgouker]

I ordered my cases of shotgun shells on Saturday and they showed today. The longest I have waited for Brownells to deliver was 2 weeks for the primers I ordered in January.

Shells, as in components or loaded?

[Stvros]

I spoke with a Brownells CSR yesterday about my backorder of 10 pmags and she said hopefully by end of May. I also ordered on 12/26.

still waiting on 308 pmags from december 26th.

[brokenscout]

I just got my 10 pmags today

[sneakerd]

Got my Brownells mags with Magpul followers and black Ranger floorplates and a bunch of replacement mag springs last week. They're shipping!

[henpecked]

Frank said that if all the vendors delivered on time they should have all backorders filled by the end of April. He was only talking about magazines.

[Blockhead]

I have orders for a threaded bbl for a Glock, S&W M&P15-22 mags, and some Glock mags from mid-december and have heard nothing. I just canceled my pmag orders with them last week after I received my Boulder Airlift mags.

[coastie.av8tor]

I just got my 10 pmags today

My pmag order has been split up by item. I've received 2/5 of my order in two different boxes. I guess I have at least 3 more boxes coming on separate days.

[cofi]

I thought we were all going to join in and make it clear to CTD that we're not doing business with them anymore after the shit they pulled recently (IE: gouging, ceasing on selling firearms, etc.)

Just got notice the mags I ordered Ion 12/26 were finally shipped

[ldmaster]

Backordered 60rd sure fire on dec 28. Back ordered pmags at the same time. Sure fire shipped feb 10 pmags shipped mar 3

[Jefe's AR]

Received the 10 Pmag pack I ordered late December/early January. Great CS. I had lost the CC I used to order and cancelled it early last week. Late last week a received an email for Brownell's that my order was ready to ship but the CC charge didn't go through. Obviously because I had cancelled it a few days prior. I was still waiting for the new card to arrive so I didn't contact them immediately. The next day they called me and left a message. I called right back and asked for the person who had left the message. The person who answered the phone asked for my order number but I didn't have it. She put me on hold and the person who eventually picked up called me by name. She put 2 and 2 together and knew it was me calling her back. I gave her a different CC number and it was delivered a few days later.

[bgouker]

Jim,
Loaded shells, I haven't been able to find enough primers, I have everything else. What I like is it is only 13.95 shipping for as many cases you order, no matter the weight.

[OneGuy67]

My Magpul magazine order from December was filled yesterday. I was surprised when the funds were removed as I had forgotten all about the order, since you can't see them on their website at all. Not sure I want them now.

[ben4372]

In the last 2 weeks they have caught up on all but 2 items on back-order. I have nothing but good to say about them.

[Great-Kazoo]

4 lowers are nowhere to be found release date wise. At this point in the game oh well.

I should note it was a Brownells order I am referring to. I reread my post and it didn't seem clear.

[TheWeeze]

Just got a shipment notification for a 10 pack of PMAGS I ordered from Brownells on 1-2-2013. Finally shipping! It's funny, I had pretty much forgotten about them. Couldn't have come at a better time.

[Great-Kazoo]

still havent gotten my 308 pmag 10 pack from December 26.

Brownells has no DOD time on a lot of lowers and other misc items. SO i cancelled the order. Anything else i can order anytime.

[henpecked]

still no magazines for me.

if you remember they Screwed the pooch and sent out a bunch of later orders first. now screw the rest of us. i have a hard time believing they still are back ordered on 308 pmags from December.

check your pm

I've never really cared for Brownell's. MidwayUSA was and is my go-to online store for firearm stuff.

I prefer Midway too. I plan to keep giving them my business.
