I think it's pretty obvious Arms Unlimited is Bush league when it comes to processing huge influxes of orders... but the price did create huge demand.

I can't think of another online retailer that sells through the large quantities of suppressors in a single month and gets them processed/shipped as quickly as we do. The ATFs eForms system only allows you to submit the forms so quickly.

How many suppressors have you sold in the last month?

That’s odd.  I can name off 3 without even trying.

Capitol Armory.
Quiet Riot.
Hansohn Bros.

These guys move serious weight on a daily basis and we never hear any complaints from their customers.  Add in silencer shop as a distributor processing forms and shipping probably hundreds of silencers per day and it gets even worse.

I’m not sure exactly what your process is but it definitely could use some improvements. You’ve opened a pretty big door here and I don’t think this is going to go the way you think it is.

So why are orders marked shipped, tracking numbers sent indicating that they are shipping priority mail, and six days later they are still marked pre-shipment?

Bought 4/11 and scheduled for delivery tomorrow...

I had a 9 week wait for a form 3 from a high volume dealer last year... I am fine with the time...

It wasn't too long ago when 30-60 days was the norm...

ETA: Corrected the date

I got a SBR from AU and a silencer from Hanson, though I don't know their volume obviously. Hanson had my can at my dealer before my check cleared my bank. I think I posted my AU timeline in this or the other thread, but they were pretty quick, not Hanson quick though.

From previous threads, I think AU has one person that over sees their firearm shipping, so I think he just gets overwhelmed when a big deal hits their site. I do think they deliver what they say, and have some neat stuff, but the rep can get defensive at times. Better to just say "Sorry, this deal overwhelmed us, but don't worry everything will be on it's way soon". It's not like they advertised next day shipping or anything.

I got an email on the 2nd saying mine was shipped. yet as of today USPS.com still shows tracking status of only "Pre shipment" and "USPS awaiting item". So its not really shipped, huh?

I got a shipping notice yesterday (no movement out of their warehouse yet).  They're slow, but this is not a fast moving sport...I can live with the month mine took to ship in exchange for the best deal I could find on the discontinued Blackhawks.  No problems here.

Two "Gas Cans" for $1k leaves little room for complaints.

My shipping label has finally been printed, so I'm happy at this point.

Is this statement above still correct?  Either my suppressor shipped on a different waybill or its still sitting in your warehouse since the click-n-ship waybill I received has not changed status in going on 9 days at this point.

My Mini Boss shipping label has been in waiting since May 2nd with no action. Hopefully AU gets it out by Wednesday as promised.

If they meet that promise, I'll be satisfied. It's NFA, and it was a great deal.

My MiniBoss randomly showed up at my dealer on Saturday and I went and picked up the forms and checked out the can after work today.

For others who still show no movement on their tracking number, my shipment showed zero movement or scans on the waybill for 10+ days until there was a delivery attempt on Saturday (when nobody was there nor was expecting a delivery).  Both my dealer and my guess is that the significant gap between creating the shipping label almost two weeks ago and when the package was finally dropped off,  messed with USPSs tracking system.

The good news is the can looks fine.  My dealer was mighty impressed by the pro packaging job, which consisted of nothing more than just a generic "bubble" envelope.  At least the Blackhawk OEM box is halfway decent and protected the can along the way as it took what looked to be a decent beating in the hands of USPS.

So my experience overall:

The good:

1. Nice suppressor.
2. Good price.
3. Showed up undamaged.

The bad:

1. Slow F3 execution
2. Slow shipping
3. Not so great communication
4. Pretty mediocre packaging job  (I would have rather been offered the option to pay $10 or $20 for a decent packing job vs. a free bubble envelope on an item I waited a month plus from order to shipment)

ArmsUnlimited are now saying they are apparently total morons and don't have the Mini Boss I ordered & paid for. My order was in the first batch, back on April 5th and I received shipping notice on May 2nd. But, today they say they don't have it, despite having reassured me it was allocated to me for over a month and then supposedly shipped 2 weeks ago.

Their crappy 'compensation' is to sell a lesser HK Suppressor, with only thread on mount and in a odd pitch, if I pay $150 more.

I've responded and hope they make this right. Hopefully they will surprise us but we'll see...

I'm glad some folks got this deal, but armsunlimted is just shit. Wonder how many others are going to be left out in the cold by those assholes.

You know, they process soooooooooo many cans in a month that f*cking up m_later's order isn't even a blip on their radar.

Well, truth be told, that probably is what it all comes down to.

On deals like this, if they sell several thousand units and a handful of people fall through the cracks, then too bad (right?).  I mean it's a statistically insignificant number of people who are getting "screwed".

So, it's still a huge win for AU.  That's just the nature of economies of scale these days.
