Re: Starting to get my doubts.
s.i.t. - I feel your pain. I just got my scope a few days ago, which was originally ordered mid January. I received one scope at a little over 14 weeks, which had the wrong reticle, and then had another month of wait before the replacement showed up. During that last month of wait, I called twice to check on it, and was told each time that it would be done by the end of that week (it wasn't, either time). In the end I was told that they were out of the reticle I wanted, which was the reason for the delay on the replacement. They apologized for the lack of communication and overnighted the scope when it was done. That gesture made me feel much better about the whole thing, and I understand shit happens.
I know the whole theory behind "don't call, it will only delay it longer", I get that. I didn't call at all until the original lead time quoted was up, and then didn't call again until almost twice the lead time was up. I know $2,500 (paid up front) is a lot of $$$ for me to spend on a scope. As the weeks ticked by and I still didn't have a scope, I couldn't help but feel unhappy with the whole transaction. I wanted IPHY / IPHY, which was much of the reason I continued to wait. If I was ordering MIL / MIL, I probably would have cancelled my order and had a Premier on the way...
Regarding this transaction, I was left feeling satisfied, although not completely thrilled, with USO's CS / communication. All that being said, I really do love my new scope.
