So I ordered a Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP from Amazon WAY back when (on Cyber Monday 7 months ago). Still unfulfilled as of today.... Amazon won't give me any answers, in spite of multiple requests.
Does anybody from Vortex know if there is some legit reason that this order would not be fulfilled, or is Amazon just trying to fuck me over by not fulfilling their discounted price? |
|
Not trying to speak for Vortex, but I'm curious whether Amazon was selling these or a third party seller on Amazon?
I've purchased a number of Vortex products on Amazon (Strike Eagles, Strikefire IIs, Diamondback HPs and some others) and all were being sold by third party sellers on Amazon and not by Amazon itself. Just curious... Forrest |
|
Wow..I've never seen something go that long without being fulfilled without them just canceling the order completely
|
|
I ordered the same scope on the same day.
Amazon has left me hanging. If it was a screw up I get it, cancel the order and I will buy one somewhere else. Just to note, this was direct from Amazon. Hey Vortex, does Amazon have any of these ordered from you? |
|
7 months isn't normal unless it was a Gen II Razor, or a new product that we've not yet released. Which product is it that you are waiting for? I'll do some checking!

Vortex Optics PST-416F1-M Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP Riflescope with EBR-1 MRAD Reticle was the full description. |

Why don't you give us a call at 800-426-0048 ext 5 to see if we can't check on it. I don't think that we sell PSTs direct on Amazon, but rather it would be through a dealer selling on Amazon.

View Quote The scope was sold by Amazon, not Vortex or a dealer on Amazon. The scopes were on sale for $499.99. Amazon must have sold a ton of them, but haven't delivered. Not a Vortex problem but an Amazon problem. If you have any info though please post it up, I'm sure many would love to hear that you just shipped Amazon a truck load. |
|
I called vortex and I doubt Amazon will come through on this as I was told the $499 price was below dealer cost and they would be losing money selling these to us. I have a couple on order and so 2 of my co-workers. I could be wrong but I don't see it...

I received mine about a month back, so they've shipped some of the orders. At that price they probably sold a ton of scopes... You should have received an email from Amazon a month or so into the backorder, asking you to confirm if you still want the item. I think that if you don't respond, they cancel the order, but if you confirm it, they'll keep the order open until it can be fulfilled.
I had a similar backorder situation a year or so ago for a surefire light at below dealer cost. Took them a long time, but it also shipped. hope this helps |

I'm also waiting on a PST 4x16x50 scope, that I ordered thru Vortex. Ordered on March 10th , sounds like it's a back order problem, as they told me last week that it will be another 4 weeks.

Yes, Amazon backorder last December. $499 + tax. Sweet scope at a killer price
|
|
|
yeah they were available to order for 2 days, 11/30/15, 12/1/15, sometime during the first it went away. So all the $499 orders were either 11/30 or 12/1

It was $900 for me. I don't think it was the same sale. It did show up one day before they said it would.

Or sell it to me for the $499, either way I NEED THAT OPTIC!!!! |

Amazon cancelled my Vortex Optics PST-416F1-M Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP Riflescope with EBR-1 MRAD Reticle that was ordered on 11/28/2016. I was on the phone with Amazon customer service for two hours with no resolution. It appears that they did not place the orders with Vortex after accepting them from us, it also appears that they are welching on the deal for financial reasons rather than availability as Vortex still has these in stock.

View Quote I call bull shit on that, Amazon had 9 months to order these scopes. I called them 6 different times and every time got a different answer. AMAZON WAS NEVER GOING TO FILL THESE ORDERS! And here is why, It comes down to money. I talked to vortex and vortex told me the $499 price is below dealer cost, so Amazon would be selling these at a loss and they are not going to do that. Once I found out the $499 was below dealer cost I knew it would never happen. I kept my order just in case they did come through. I had also hoped that letting vortex know that maybe they could do something. But we got nothing and amazon gave us all the run around for 9 months and cancelled our orders. Not really sure there is anything we can do other than avoid amazon and bitch! |
