[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Lower Receivers - availability? (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 8/3/2012 9:44:23 AM EDT
| Any idea when the standard lowers will be back in stock? |
|
Quoted:
Both of the good ones are still out of stock, Im checking seriously, 4 times a day now. They'll probably send out an email blast when they are back in stock and I bet we're at least another 1-2 weeks away if they are just now in the finishing stage. Maybe they will offer them at $69 or something since we've been so patient |
|
We'll know if they ordered enough based on how long they stay in stock when they finally do come in. If they sell out as fast as justin beiber concert tickets than we'll know there is still a supply problem.
They should seriously just order 10,000 lowers and be solid for a while. |

They should seriously just order 10,000 lowers and be solid for a while. So you are saying that by cutting our standing monthly order back by 3000 units, we can "be solid for a while"...  Glad we got that straightened out. 
There are a lot of items "on order" in the industry right now. Unfortunately, demand has outpaced production capacity. We have arranged for new capacity to come online to increase the overall market supply. it will not be this month. We should have some in stock next week. They will probably sell out quickly. |

Can you please save me 2? I doubt I'll be able to get them online before they are gone

I was at the Farrow Road store today and they have a box of "Hope and Change" lowers. I am holding out for November's "YES WE DID!" lowers.  interesting. wonder if they are calling or shipping to folks who ordered. The Hope and Change lowers have started shipping for those whose FFL paperwork was complete. |

Did the price go up? I thought they were $79 Yeah, they went up. BCGs also went up the last time they went back in stock. a month ago you could add a BCG to an upper for $100, now it's $110. That's shitty of PSA. Other lowers are still $80. Buy those. |

Don't blame PSA - blame your economics teacher for not explaining reality better...assuming you've had an economics class. :) |

Hell I found another brand of lower receiver for $80 shipped just now. |

No doubt - and who could disagree with you - They very well could lose a customer or two over the price change, but in these times - I doubt it. We'll see. What frustrates me about the general public is that somebody will come along, see this and say "PRICE GOUGERS!" and try to drag PSA through the mud over it unfairly. |

Hell, I'm not hating on PSA. I'm just trying to find the cheapest good lower I can. Fortunately, there is a competition. |

Some of those other ridiculous logos annoy the crap out of me - but the subtle classiness of the crossed cannons and cannon balls - not too big, not too small - no spiders or biohazards or airplane tails or other nonsense. |

Quote tree!
I'd have to agree with you regarding the logos. It does suck though that the price went up. Hopefully this won't be a permanent situation. |

I see a company that gained a lot of customers by offering products at the most affordable price, now raising the price considerably in a time when everyone is freaking out about gun laws. I've seen quite a bit of ragging on companies that do this on this website and am a little surprised that people are still pouring on the support for PSA as they do it.

It's a fine balance...charge as much as possible while still giving your customers perceived "value" - $10 extra didn't impact my buying decision - whereas it may impact somebody else...who knows. It wouldn't effect mine either much, however, shipping went up too. Just a little, but with it all together, it starts to ad up. |

Quoted:
Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately, we have had to increase prices on some items. We apologize for the inconvenience. You mean you can't pay all the new employees you hired with cupcakes? Or the updating of shipping systems to get product out faster and more efficiently isn't free? That is just crazy talk. What we are witnessing here is growth not greed. Good on you PSA. You are building a business. |

Shipping has not changed - except not "free"... I'm certain my last lowers were $6.00 for shipping via USPS for a total of $56.00 delivered. Now, when I added a lower to my cart it showed $100 with shipping! This is terrible. I then clicked the order button...
