I Think Spike's is Playing Me

[confused89]

There are too many other companies out there that sell a quality product. I personally would not have waited that long.

WOOO... Just got news that mine is in shipping and will be here soon also! So there is meaning again to all my accessories.

Ain't the accessories all sad sitting there, unattached, like homely girls at the homecoming dance?

HAHA so true! One of my gun loving roommates is always ask how I plan on using them without enough hands to hold everything. "So you're gonna hold your red dot with the left hand and then throw pmags with the right or hold the grip with the right and red dot with left and then make gun sounds?" They will all have a home soon enough.

I called today and was told it would be another 3 - 4 weeks, and that was an optimistic estimate. They haven't even sent it to be built because they don't have lowers.

My only problem is that I should have been informed of this, and the web site should reflect actual times. I suspect that if actual times were posted they would lose sales to other companies.

My original plan had been to order an upper from Del Ton and complete a lower I already have. Because their delivery times were several weeks behind, I went to Spikes, and having heard lots of good things about the company, I spent more and ordered from them, partially because the web site estimated a much sooner delivery time.

Right now their web site estimates 4 -6 weeks for a rifle ordered today, but I doubt that can be true if I'm looking at 3-4 weeks and I'm three weeks ahead of the people who order today.

I just suggest being more forthcoming so people can make a decision with all the facts.

You see the world from where you sit, I see it from where I sit. From where I sit, I'm deeply disappointed that a rifle I thought I was getting in four weeks might take eight weeks or even longer. I think you can understand that, and also I understand very little about what your production and administration issues are until you tell me.

I do, however, appreciate your responding to this post.

Edit: Also, gald to hear that you're going to make your web time estimates more accurate. That will go a long way.

I had a similar issue with Larue 2 years ago. I had an issue witht the way I was treated so I contact the owner. He stood by his employee and was stern with me and insulted me. Larue makes great products but Ill never buy from them again.

yeah, but. .

tell me that ain't the kind of boss you want.

dross, I'm glad that thing finally showed. I got the four lowers I ordered from AIM surplus and they are sequential #'s as a bonus. Glad I didn't have to send you one..

Liar. You and I both know you think my toes are scrump-dilly-ishus.

ADK Knight's rifle will be here on Thursday afternoon. Perhaps I can suggest a 'shootout?'

Love to. But even though you're on the West side of Indy, I'm a whole lot farther West than you are.

Nice to see you guys starting to get your stuff; we're still waiting on ours...

Looking good dross! You made quick work of it once you got your hands on it!

What did you replace the stock hand guard with? I'm currently looking into that as my next purchase but there are just so many options.

That's a Daniel Defense Omega rail. It's the only free float rail that you do't have to remove the FSB to install.

 

[PatriotPride]

Are you implying that I'd sell out my principles just so I wouldn't risk not getting my sweaty hands on my beautiful new bouncing baby AR?

Why, I'm shocked at the suggestion! Shocked I tell you!

Why I'd suggest nothing of the sort

 

[LLDJR]

Congrats,, Looks awesome

I'm making a note of that. Looks great.
