Has anyone heard ordered from Area 51 Tactical?

[flyfisher117]

I placed my order 10 days ago. Credit card was automatically charged and I have yet to recieve anything. Ive called/emailed them multiple times with no reply. Starting to feel like I will never receive anything.


Has anyone else tried to order anything from these guys? Do they just happen to have VERY slow customer service?

Thanks.

Right from their homepage:

We are currently experiencing extremely heavy order volume, resulting in shipping delays on some products of up to 3 weeks. Due to the incredible amount of demand, we may be hard to reach via phone or email. Thank you very much for your patience, you will receive an email with the tracking number as soon as your order ships!

They have always been GTG in the past, IMHO give 'em a little more.

In the past, I ordered an expensive optic and I've always found them to be good to go.

Unless I totally missed the giant green words that paragraph wasn't on the page when I was shopping around and before I placed my order.

All that I did get was AFTER my order was placed, I got a little thank you paragraph that said something that some items may not be in stock and it may take up to 4 months to fill the order.

Not sure of the legality of charging your CC before your order ships. This may vary by state but most reputable companies don't do it.

They say they do it for safety so that they arent storing any credit card #'s in their system just in case it gets hacked or something.

Got an email from them yesterday, hoping to get it shipped next week.
