Brownell's Pmag Backorders?

ive gotten the 20 USGI mags and 10 windowed pmags from brownells so far. i am still waiting on 308 pmags and a few other goodies. i have a BCG and a 60 rnd surefire mag still on b/o but everything else execept the 308s has come in
 
anyone get 308 pmags yet? I got my .223 a few weeks back. Still waiting on the .308 I ordered mid december. I was not in a hurry but with our commie government here in colorado I am getting nervous.

I'm still waiting on my 308 PMags. But I think Magpul announced just yesterday that CO residents can get mags straight from them...I saw it on Facebook.
 
I talked to Brownell's yesterday, had to update the CC they waited so long, and they said that they were expecting a big shipment of the .308's first of Feb. and didn't get it. So now they have no update. Great.

It was good I was calling earlier in the month, as when I changed my order from 25 to 30 way back in early Jan. (right after they stopped taking orders) the lady swore it was no problem, but my order changed from send to "notify" as in "notify when back in stock"! So I had to go through a fiasco to get it changed by a supervisor to get my place back in line in December (placed on the 23rd, but invoice shows 26th). Anyway, now it will ship, but had I sat here patiently I wouldn't have gotten anything at all. For two months my order was useless though, just a footnote to remind me when in stock to reinstate my order. The regular operators didn't catch it either, you have to speak with customer service.

I'd look at that invoice real hard if I were you. If it says "notify" anywhere in there, it isn't any good. So for those of you that made ANY changes to your order concerning backordered items, check it out. I have shitty luck though, so perhaps it only happened to me. Take it easy guys, post back when you get your shit.
 
I saw the above posts and i was about to break. I was about to have a temper tantrum and start crying like the tread over at Barf.com but I just saw that my Black 308 5 pack of PMAGS shipped. TFG! Info to help anyone else out who's still waiting on 308 Mags, I ordered them on Dec 21st and the invoice number was 08248188. Two down and one to go. Still waiting on a 10 pack of Black 30rd Gen2 PMAG's ordered the same day.

Placed an order for .308 Pmags on the 26th of Dec. Have yet to hear anything aside from the normal back order a few days after the order was placed along with the "our system screwed up" email. But it sounds like you guys who ordered the week before are getting yours so that must be a good sign!
 
look at the the order dates. he got his 10 packs before you because he ordered before you. i havent gotten any of the 308 mags but no one that has gotten them so far has ordered after me, all were ordered before me. as they get more it looks like they are filling orders by the date they were ordered. relax, its coming soon.
 
pmag 10 pack orders.

I was wondering if they were shipping partial orders thats all. I know the order dates are different.
 
all of mine were on like 3 or 4 orders. id get one 10 pack steel usgi then another the next week from the same order. then came the windowed again same order. then the 60 sure fire from a different one. then my black dog 22 mags. now its just the 308s and non windowed and a BCG from a different order. i did notice that some 308s ordered on the 29th of december have been shipped to others and mine havent shipped yet from a 12/25 order.

looks like the 29th order was a midway order. brownells says its at about the 20th of december as far as orders on the 308 stuff and shipping as fast as they gte the stock in

My PMags from Brownell's are MIA as well
I have a few orders from a few different vendors, and I have struck out everywhere.
I can imagine magpul is slammed with backorders especially with the colorado mag ban, and the effort towards getting mags out in that state first.
 
If I can recall when Brownells overhauled their "order history" page for customers to view thousands of back orders were lost/deleted. Maybe I am mistaken but I remember getting an e-mail about them losing quite a bit of customer information or "order history" when they did the upgrade.

I might have to give them a call tomorrow to double check my order.
