Ordered a Palmetto State Armory upper

[Grastmatt2552]

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.

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.

I am perfectly aware of the quality of parts and service from BCM. Everything I have ordered from them has arrived in less than a week.

The purpose of this thread was not to say how awesome PSA stuff was or how great their service is. I wanted a 16" mid-length for this particular rifle and BCM never had them in stock. This was a "budget" build and I didn't want to spend the kind of money they wanted for their hammer forged barrels so I thought I would try out the PSA stuff and report my experiences.

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.
