To those who received an email informing them of the cancellation / backorder, did you receive both an email confirming your order right after placing it AND another one a while later with a web reference number, confirmation number & accnt number etc? Or did you just receive the first email followed by a cancellation email?

Reason I ask is that I ordered 15 pmags Monday, and I have received both these emails, the second one saying that I will get a third email when they ship, and no cancellation email as of yet, so I'm trying to figure out if I'm in the clear or not.

ETA: Also, I am the lord of page 2.

I ordered the 10 pack a little after noon yesterday(monday) and have gotten the same 2 emails as you. I hope that means we beat the cancellation.

I received an email titled "your brownells online order" from them immediately after placing. . .

Then today I received a confirmation order with 0.00 charges. . . then a follow up email from "Order Copy" which states a "C" next to the products meaning it's been canceled.

I picked, no order over back order.

FYI guys, I called this morning and the CS woman told me they still hadn't pulled all of the online orders from yesterday. It seems there was a cutoff point in which orders are being cancelled.

This has happened to me with other mail order places. A friend of mine runs one of them. The firearms industry is still a little behind on the electronic fulfillment end -- I'm thinking it could just be a single big distributer causing the problem. In the database world, this is known as a "Phantom Read" or Update and has to do with transaction isolation. I would not fault the place you're ordering from on this as they likely may be representing inventory from a warehouse that may drop ship for multiple suppliers.

My order was cancelled too. But in checkout I checked that if they were not in stock to cancel order.

You can go in now and order them for backorder if you want to, the price is still the same.

I got it too. Emailed to see why it was cancelled, still no response. I wasn't planning on buying a 10 pack but I did. Once it was cancelled I felt I needed 10 of them so I gave some business to Cabelas. I haven't received any emails about the status of the 20rd mags I ordered from Brownells as of yet.


I bought a 10pk from Cabellas as well. In stock- No issues but a lil bit more money.

For giggles, I placed an order this morning and told them to backorder it. A little while later I got this notice - so looks like they are keeping my order on backorder and not cancelling it.

i just did this as well. although originally i placed an order monday night and selected "cancel backorders" then got an email yesterday stating that my order from monday was in fact cancelled due to backorder status.
so now, hopefully and at least.....when they do come back in stock i will get them at 12.50 each

I bought a lot of stuff from Brownells during the 2008 panic.  They never jacked with their prices and they (eventually) shipped everything I ordered from them.

Sometimes their system would show something in stock when it was actually sold out. Those orders, I believe, they automatically cancel when they discover what happened. You can call customer service and have your cancelled order converted to backorder if you want.

I ordered a 10 pack and a couple of Glock mags from Brownells two days ago.  I received the Glock mags yesterday (fastest I have every received anything from them) and the PMags are scheduled to be delivered today.  The current panic buying going on is incredible.  I'm glad I have been "panic buying" for the last 10 years and am pretty well stocked up now.

I don't think there's even the slightest chance they're going to do that.  They aren't pulling their inventory -- they've shipped it all out to customers.

They must not be. I ordered some pmags and a couple of Glock mags Monday morning. My order has been hung with the status 'IS BEING PREPARED FOR PICKING' since shortly afterward. No cancellation but no tracking number either.
