So I ordered some ETS Glock mags from them and they were supposed to ship in 3-5 days. 5 days later, nothing, so I emailed them and they said "we don't actually have them in hand, we just list them in stock when we place an order with the company."
 Luckily I was able to cancel my order.

It's not worth the gamble, and I don't want to support people who have dog shit business practices like that even if it did work out okay for me. |

Low prices of course... that is why people order from them. I've ordered from them on occasion, though I'd never order anything I needed right away as they often don't have the item in stock and you are just as likely to end up with a refund as you are the item. On the other hand, I've always gotten my item or had the order cancelled and not been charged so I've never lost money with them. |

Same thing happened to me when I tried to outsmart conventional wisdom by ordering brown Lancer mags from Botach. They held my money for over a month before finally admitting they didn't have them and weren't getting anymore. Fuck Botach.

This is why my hard and fast rule is no orders over $100 from Botach . I limit my risk and never look at anything expensive even if it is a deal

You've been Botached. Yep. Standard business practice to get a loan from the customer. I'm having trouble with Universal Coin & Bullion (the guys who advertise on the American Rifleman magazine) and it's been over two months since I placed my order. I finally get a notice that there is a package in the USPS. |

Their shipping was always weird to me on the few orders i made. Tracking# would always show picked up, then nothing. Then after 5-7 days it would be in my mailbox. Nothing in between.

Same thing happened to me with some surefeed magazines.
For the price, it was worth waiting, YMMV. If you don't expect fast fulfillment from Botach, you're less likely to be disappointed. Sometimes the prices make up for it - your choice. |

I'd put Optics Planet in the same boat. Just not going to place any orders from them anymore, they can't fix their inventory system? Jeez, seems like a simple concept, I don't care how small or big your company is.

They got me too. I emailed customer service and got no response. Then I called customer service and kept getting a message. Finally I called sales, which they answered immediately. "Those are actually out of stock but we're expecting them in 1-2 weeks."

It was a Visa debit card ran as a credit card (no PIN obviously). So whatever you call that, yes, they took the money from my account pretty much right when I ordered the mags. To their credit, they did call and offer to give me a free mag if I chose a different color, but by then I had decided they weren't worthy of my patronage. |

Ok, so debit cards are bad in general because of this - there's really no such thing as a "hold". You'll have the same problem if you try and use a debit card at a hotel or for a rental car or wherever else they pre-authorize funds. In the merchant's defense, I don't know if they can even tell you're using a debit card when you run it as credit - they do a "hold" immediately to make sure your card will support the charge, then run the actual charge later on. Honestly I don't think that was an issue with this particular merchant and it sounds like you've got a proper credit card now to avoid the problem. For further security I really suggest the Virtual Account Numbers / Secure Online Account Numbers which are offered by a handful of card companies (CitiBank, Bank of America both have flexible choices). Every online merchant I deal with has their own unique CC # which is locked to them and which has a max spend which I control - not 100% foolproof, but pretty darn good IMNSHO. |

Order placed 6pm 2/17 (Wednesday) Shipping notice received 5:45pm 2/23 (Tuesday) Thursday would be "Next business day" Friday would be "Second business day" Monday would be "Third business day" Tuesday would be "Fourth business day" - tracking # generated Wednesday would be "Fifth business day" - if UPS picks it up, that seems to meet the "3-5 days" shipping commit in this case at least.... |
