Just wondering, as anyone received a government charging handle?
I placed an order late on Thanksgiving day with 3 triggers and a government handle. Oddly enough I could care less about when the handle arrives but am waiting on those triggers for builds to finish. Just wondering if indeed shipping is slower because of that government charging handle. Thanks. |

Honestly, everything is probably slow coming from Geissele right now.
They had some sale a few weeks ago that backed some things up |

Nice veiled bitching about shipping times post. View Quote Some example answers would be: "Yes," "No." Other examples of helpful answers would be "I ordered a government handle as well and did/did not receive it yet." Hope that makes it clear for you. |

Didnt order charging handle. Haven’t received order. I’m not in a hurry though. They take good care of us.
|

Its just the luck of the draw last year it took about 3 weeks to get my order this year was a week. As long as your order shows it was processed your good and itll come
|

This is one the main reasons I made 2 separate orders. URGI upper on one and lower parts kit, triggers, etc on another. I felt like the URGi was gonna take while to ship

It's been only 2 weeks so we got some time on those. |

Considering the two triggers and scope mount I ordered on thanksgiving arrived the Monday after Thanksgiving, I’d say the handle may be what’s slowing down your order.

Got my Colt upper receiver within 5 days, but the Gov ODG CH is not here yet.
Bummer no XMas sales either |

Didn’t Bill mention that there would be some new products and sales for Christmas?

The other thing is they charge your card first, a lot of businesses will charge on ship, I am not too happy about that. |

Quoted: Yeah they like to charge fast and ship slow. They also must use the same guy as the ATFs NFA section as they dont seem to follow the first in first out thought process.... Oh well as long as they get here within the 8 weeks I agreed to I can live with it. View Quote |

Haven’t gotten mine. Would have been nice to know that the charging handle was going to delay my entire order

Cool I just hope my upper isn't made the first day back it's tough that first day on a long break. |

The shop will be back up and fully operational on 1/6/2020 at which point there will be a new flood of orders being shipped out nonstop until all are on their way to their new homes.

Honestly my problem isn't that it's taking so long, it's the fact that clearly orders are not going out based upon when they were placed. I ordered Thanksgiving day and guys who ordered in the days following got their parts but I haven't gotten mine because of the Gov charging handle.
I don't mind waiting when I'm last in line but it appears the "8 week" delay was used to sell something they didn't even have made yet, which is what I take issue with. All in all, a little honesty up front about the specific lead time of these handles would have gone a long way. |

All this hypothesizing
Someone posted their gov charging handle on the EE. I don’t think the handle is slowing things down. Things will come, when they come. |
|
My order was placed shortly after the sale went live, it included the gov't handle along with receivers. Have yet to receive the FFL email, so I do believe the gov't handle is holding things up. I will get it when I get it not worried about it, happy to get a great product at a great price.

Ordered OD Fed rail and 3 gov charging handles the day before BF.
Still processing... Has anyone else got one of these in stock charging handles? |
|
@GACS were these charging handles the parts that had anodizing problems?
I'd just like to know what is going on since I know I placed my order well before a multitude of people who have gotten their orders now. I understand problems come up and I'm not upset, but when it's been repeatedly stated that orders are going out in the order they came in I start to get a little annoyed. Another direct question, will we see these by the 8 week mark? |

My order for 2 gov charging handles that i ordered on Dec 1st is still pending....I love geissele products but their shipping is some of the worst in the business. Its to the point where I’d rather pay the little extra to buy it elsewhere to get it in a timely matter, but some things like the gov charging handle are only available through them direct unfortunately.

We are working through the logistics on these currently and while we hope to still have most orders out by the 8 weeks there look to be some that are going to go over. That's one of our main focuses right now to sort them out. There were some of the gov CH that were affected by the ano issue but its hard to say right now who/ how many orders were delayed from it. As we sort through everything we want to touch base with everyone that is going over the 8 weeks to give them a solid time frame and to do what else we can to help. -GACS View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Today is 8 weeks...if i don't get a shipping notification I'll be patiently waiting for an updated shipping time frame and would appreciate a direct explanation as to why the OD handles haven't shipped.
