And if it had been shipped in an envelope and was damaged you'd be complaining it wasn't shipped in a box.

Lastly, when you order this you'd think it comes with the QD swivel, wouldn't you? http://www.brownells.com/userdocs/products/p_100004756_1.gif  No, not at all. The page clearly shows two different prices for two different parts. The description even mentions a single piece to be used with the other piece. |

It's not obvious. What other online retailer lists things like this? Why would they put them on the same page even?
Every good retailer does this. They're grouping like items together on a single page, with add-to-cart options for each product. It makes it easier to add multiple items to your cart without going to multiple pages. Do you really want to shop on a website that requires you to click/load a separate page for every single item you want to order? Suggested or related stuff, sure. But a picture of the two items together, the header/title listing the two separate items together. I can't recall seeing this. I'm not new to online shopping, I buy most everything online except certain hardware and groceries and have for several years. |

I received 3 barrel links for my 1911 in one of those box. Nearly thought they weren't in the box at first glance.

When I get the big catalog it comes wrapped in plastic. No boxes but still free. |

I bought one extractor and it came in the same size box. They don't have their "small light package" rate or whatever they call it anymore? I ordered some detents and gas rings a couple years ago. $3 shipping and it came in a bubblewrap envelope. |

When boxes are the same size or simular they stack nicer in the Feeder trucks that UPS has

NOVESKE RIFLEWORKS LLC - AR15/M16 QD SLING ADAPTER & SWIVEL You click a section of rifle you need parts for, shows many pics of available choices including yours with 2 parts shown. You click it and see the two parts, and on the right it shows that you can order both separately. Have you never ordered car parts online? You click engine, and work your way down for engine stuff. They might have a picture of an engine disassembled with all the parts listed...would you expect the whole engine? |

Go ya one better. I snail mail ordered some parts from Numrich several years ago. About $60.00 worth of stuff & thought, hey that plastic 1911 bushing wrench could be handy. Cool it's only 85¢. That was back when they had a $7.95 min shipping charge. I got my box a couple weeks later. It contained ONLY the plastic 1911 bushing wrench & a note saying the other parts were no longer available. Yep, charged me $7.95 shipping. A call to complain about their stupidity went no where. I have not bought anything from them since. Had a similar experience and stopped doing business with them as well. Thought they went tits up long ago. |
