So I ordered an Acog TA31 ECOS from Botach on 11/18 for $1459 and I was charged and it hasn't shipped yet.  I probably should have known better given their reputation here, but it was a good price.  I sent them an email today requesting a refund if it was not in stock.  I can only speculate where this is headed from here.  Any suggestions on how to handle them or am I being too paranoid?

I received a shipping notification today (11/20) and feel relieved that I do not have to wait for a back ordered item while they hold my money.  I will update after I receive the Acog.  This may end up being a positive Botach story and I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I guess cheap prices pay for bad customer service. It doesn't matter what your price is, it matters what your customer service is like. But in my experience I've been finding the cheapest prices and best customer service from the same company so it works out awesome. I'd just do something via my credit card to cancel out the transaction.

You knew their reputation and ordered anyway? Without calling them first? I can see where this thread'll be going. Allow me to illustrate:

If 11/18/2011 you should probably ask for a refund. If it was yesterday, wtf?

Reading is difficult.  However, I will explain a refund provided the item was not in stock.

Yes mine. First off, you bought an overpriced optic. Second, you did so from a company that many times has already shown to have shitty customer service. You knew this before you ordered but ordered anyway. Thus I can only conclude that you have so much money that you honestly don't care if someone  steals it.

Don't feel too bad though. I've ordered from them too and never received it. But, then again, I only spent $50 bucks ...

Just contacted SWFA and their regular price was 1741.99.  I'm not sure they will be able to beat $1459.99 plus 10%, but I will give it a try.  If I don't hear back from Botach I will dispute the charge after the Acog does not arrive.

I have asked them to price match Botach and they said they won't because Botach isn't an authorized dealer.

I got some M&P mags from them for $19.95 shipped. Recieved them 3 or 4 days after I ordered.

GL with your ACOG.

Overpriced?
Hmm, I suppose that’s relative once again.  I would say that Botach’s advertised price was very reasonable for the optic considering the MSRP was $2050.

You have contributed nothing to this thread.

At least BoTach generally does complete their orders even if it's late as hell, and there is an actual living being there to answer the phone unlike THESE FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS AT AFTACTICAL.COM WHO TRIED TO RIP ME OFF

I just ordered about $600 worth of things which took about a week longer than anywhere else, but the prices were worth it.

I've ordered 3 times from them without issue.

My friend has ordered twice at least, and had no problems.

I guess, I just wanted to give a variation on the prevailing wind of Botach.

I might be burned next order, but at this point they have been nothing but good, and with better than most, prices.

I've ordered from them before and it worked out OK.  But your going to have to give them a few days, maybe more because of the holiday.

This is why you use the "chat" feature on the website to check the status of an item prior to purchase from Botach.

First off, I'm not the OP.  Secondly, what he spends does not come before you. He could have been saving for a long time for that for all you know. I see that you have the "entitlement" attitude.

YOU dragged the inference that he has "too much" disposable income in.  Too much for whom?  You?  Are you the disposable income police?  Regale us with your qualifications to judge.

Overpriced optics? Have you ever used an ACOG?  

I guess I can see how you would think that.  Apparently, you also think memberships on this site are overpriced.
