Being told there out of stock?? 3/4 weeks till more come in?? Anyone else hear this from them?
Ordered from Amazon 2-25-13, item was listed as in stock.
Optics Planet e-mailed me on 2-28-13, saying that the item was out of stock, and blamed Amazon for being too small to handle their 100,000 products, and saying the item might ship in 5-10 business days.
No further e-mails from Optics Planet and/or Amazon since then.
I've never been that impressed with Optics Planet, and I remain unimpressed.....
I would imagine the protector has a problem, and they will not arrive until well after turkey season, but I hope I'm incorrect...

Nice of them.
OP e-mailed me tonight saying they should have it by March 8th, and will ship out after that.
If true, not that bad...

Mudhen, please let us know if you get yours....
There's no problem with the protector. We just ran out of them. Turkey season does that to us every year even when we over forecast.

I should have known better than order from Optics Planet on 1/25/13...by the time I found out it was on backorder there wasn't even any listed on flea bay and everyone else was out too...one thing about it I've ordered twice from Optics Planet...FIRST and LAST :angry9:

OP e-mailed me today saying the earliest they could ship now is March 20th....so I might get before April....
I would not care so much except that it was in stock on Amazon when I ordered....
mudhen
Man that's annoying. I've checked that item's availability twice a day for the last 3 weeks. Guess I'll have to mount my FF3 without one.
E-mail from Amazon today saying the order would be cancelled by the 28th if OP doesn't ship by then....

Kinda looks like we're outa luck for this go-round...wonder if electrical tape would hold it to the rail :fud: :lol:

I'm good to go for now. Would have liked the protector, as my FFII protector got all dinged up in Nebraska & Kansas, but I'll just have to be more careful with the FFIII for a bit.
The FFIII is a great sight, I'm hoping it gets some good use this spring :)

Amazon cancelled my order yesterday. OP could not provide a shipping date. So I guess that's the end of that....
mudhen
OP has had my money since January...I guess they will ship the mount when they get them in... I'll have to get by with open sights.... but I was really looking forward to the FFii
I'm up and runnin thanks to BurrisOptics.... :thanks:
