I much rather prefer to pick stuff up local if possible. I hate waiting on stuff to come to me. Too impatient I guess. [Coffee]
Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can get out to the range this weekend or next and sight it in and get back with a "range report".
I hear ya on that, I just ordered my upper from Del-Ton and I'm stoked for it. But its gonna be about a month before I get it [Bang]Quote:

Dude...freakin' cancel.[Rant1]
Thinking about it....just have to decide if I want to pay the restocking fee. Paying them $50 to jerk me around for a month is kind of a hard pill to swallow....
Restocking fee.... For taking forever to process your order, and it never left their STOCK? That's pretty ridiculous.[Rant1]Quote:

Not a great way to get repeat business, but that doesn't seem like a high priority for these guys.
Damn, that is steep! I'd put the full-court press on & let them know one way or the other you'll be sharing your experience with a very active shooting community.
Well they won't be getting my business at all. I'm going Del-Ton, atleast they have LIVE customer service on their sight during the day every day, and they give you real estimates of when the order ships.
I will definitely check out Del-ton the next time I'm in the market for an upper.
They seem to be a great company, can't vouch for the quality yet, but I've heard nothing but good about them. They say up front it can take 3-4 weeks to ship, but usually if they've got everything in stock people have gotten their orders within a few days.
Re-stocking fee? WTF? I would call them on that one. WTF are tehy going to re-stock? It's not like they sent it to you and you sent it back. I would demand they cancel your order and I would tell them you will not pay a restocking fee for something they haven't even shipped you.
On a side note, I have ordered a barrel from Del-Ton in the past. Shipping took a little longer than my order from PSA. The quality was decent but nothing to brag about. Accuracy was OK but nothing special. It was a perfectly serviceable barrel for a very good price.
I was able to clarify that on their website. In the "terms of use" section they actually call it a "processing" fee, so its for restocking and processing the credit to my card. Since they have it listed on their site (cancel an order, get charged 10%), I guess I pretty much agreed to those terms when I completed the transaction online.
So yeah....lesson learned. Definitely going to do my homework next time.
Bcm or spikes is the way to go del-ton seems to be garbage I waited 3 months before canceling my order and I was gona go psa but decided not to due to questionable quality I ended up with a bcm carbine in 5 days and I now have about 700 rounds some of witch with the slide fire stock and it works beautifully
I will add that I ordered a complete upper from BCM this week and they shipped the same day. Can't beat that kind of service.

Seems that my experience with dealing with PSA was good but maybe I just got lucky? Anyhow, if I get the time to head to the range to sight it in I will report back.
