Place is run by an arfcommer - Garand_Shooter isn't it? Shoot him an IM or post in their industry forum.
If he's anything like the rest of the shooting world, he's probably slammed busy. |

I have ordered a thing or two and thought was excellent service. But that wasn't during the Christmas rush. I would be confident you are in the stack.

You pretty much summed up my experience with them the one time I ordered from them - slow to charge/ship and no comms after order was placed. Items did eventually show up though, so you should be ok.

Try dropping Garand_Shooter an IM.

I forgot to mention that the reason for my concern is that the phone has been disconnected. It is two days after Christmas. They may very well be closed for the Holidays. If you wanted a fast transaction and fast shipping for something gun related, you picked about the worst possible time. I would be worried they might have run out of inventory but if they are still shipping orders it isn't going to be quick. |

We are here, just fighting an issue with the phone company disconnecting out store phone when they were suppose to disconnect the one for a company we rent some space for some equipment to.
We are working through the rush of G3 mag orders as fast as we can- we don't charge a card until the day we ship so you won't see any charges until then. |

That said at the time I kept AT&T for our main line at that time because you couldn't keep a yellow pages ad unless you did. At this point that is rapidly becoming a non- issue because who uses the damn yellow pages anymore. 20+ minutes on hold with AT&T as intupe this, for the third time is making me say screw that, not worth it. |

AT&T disconnect order, that explains a lot. Holy shit man just be glad they didn't burn the place to the ground. I swear they find the most disgruntled customer service rep they can, beat them with a car antenna, starve them, and make them watch snuff films for weeks until they feel like they're completely deranged. Then they put them in charge of disconnect orders.
