Suppressors BOGO can from SiCo’s sale last year… still showing “in process”

[Im2bent]

I suspect free cans get shipped whenever production exceeds demand. So if they can make x number of cans a month and all get sold then the bogo guys get zero. If they have some unsold they get shipped to the Bogos.

I’m aware, it definitely doesn’t make the company look any better to say that they’ve been doing that since 2018.

As a matter of fact, in 6 years, if they still can’t figure out a way to get their backlog shit together, that’s sad, and on purpose. Which is just pathetic.

It's certainly not a great business practice, and I can see why people are frustrated.

But in that same vein, what is the current wait time for a new TBAC suppressor if you purchase through them? 10-13 months? And that's paying full price.

I'm assuming that having to deal with the ATF makes things more complicated, especially if you have surges in demand (such as for a new product or for a BoGo). That said, you would think SiCo would've figured it out by now - they've had at least 6 years to do so. They should certainly have a good handle on what the demand will be.

On one hand, it's incredibly frustrating. On the other, you are still getting a free product worth hundreds of $. It doesn't seem like SiCo is going to change their businesses practices, so you either suck it up and understand you will be waiting a long time, or you pay full price for two suppressors elsewhere. Anyone going into the BoGo deal should have a clear understanding of what the deal is by now.

True, but they lie to folks, too…Like the free cert guy who just posted a minute ago, and said they told him the F3 was in progress, then suddenly it wasn’t, and would be 1+ years. That’s just sorry and scummy business practices on a whole new level. That’s deliberately lying to your customer. Deceit needs to be called out and reprimanded. That’s the kind of shit that demands a boycott to get them to correct this, because they don’t seem to understand anything until you hit them where it hurts…In their wallets.

This. They use the Bogo cans to balance production with zero intention of hurrying.

Certified my bogo omega 300 August 27th, approved today, September 15th.
At least the atf had mercy on me.

I'm tempted to put another can in the queue.

Yep, mine took exactly 1 month. At least the bureaucracy is getting better…
