Par for the course. They can have good deals but its a real crap shoot if (a) its in stock and (b) if they will honor the price.

They pissed me off over their failure to change an apparently "in stock" item to it's true "back-order" status, then waited almost four weeks to refund my money.
Cool site and stuff, but it's all available elsewhere. |

You didn't "get burned" by the retailer. You tried to take advantage of a mistake and it didn't pan out.

I order occasionally from them... Only from the clearance section when it is a screaming deal and I can wait.
Without fail, items from their clearance section showing "In Stock!" are back ordered. . I have never understood backorders for "clearance" items.
Last time I ordered was for 10 pairs of 5.11 Leather patrol gloves for a total cost less than what the local police supply shop wanted for one pair. Of course they were back ordered. I got em a couple months later. |

So you think you deserve to benefit from a pricing mistake because they bring in "millions of dollars a year" in revenue? That's some hardcore Occupy Wall Street thinking you've got there....
There's a big difference between not honoring a sale price, and making an obvious mistake when listing an item. If you listed an AR in the EE and accidentally put the price as $100 instead of $1000, would you honor it? Do you think EE buyers "deserve" to pay the lower price, even though it was an accident? |

Bought a pair of 5.11 shorts and they were supposed to come with a free watch. Opened the box...no free watch. I sent an e-mail to complain...not that I really wanted the cheap watch, but because they should honor the deal if they offer it. Got my watch...havent used it since.

I ordered one and had the same thing happen. I also ordered a Benchmade 746 that was on the list of mistakes. To their credit they offered the Eotech at $454 which is a great deal but more than I wanted to spend right now. The Benchmade was $56 and they offered it at $93 so I kept it in the order, still a great deal. The fact that they offered the mistake items at what I assume is pretty close to, if not cost was a decent gesture. I never really expected the Eotech to reach my doorstep at that price.

Since they have minimum wage Donny Dough Dick running their web site, they should have plenty of cash in reserve to handle screw-ups....But ordering 8 pieces is out of line and is taking advantage of a mistake. If you only wanted one, you might have got away with it. But now you have none... If I was the manager, i would have offered one unit for the price of the mistake listing and the rest at retail, take it or leave it. |
