    Here is my experience with Planet Optics--

    They never have anything in stock, even if their site says they do.

    I have even emailed them ahead of time to verify that something is in stock before I order it. I have been told yes, so I went ahead and placed my order. A day or two later I get the dreaded email saying that the item is out of stock. It is apparent that they never checked on it's availablity, they just told me yes to get my money so they could direct me to something else that is "just as good".

    I will never shop there again.

    I just had a reasonably good experience with them. I got a 3-9x32 bushnell scope and base for my .22 with no issues.

    i'm not saying you aren't right and i'm not trying to be a jerk, just making conversation.

    Are you talking about optics planet. If so I have ordered thousands of dolloars worth of stuff from them with no problems. If you talk to most optics manuf. they recomend them. If your not refering to them then nevermind.

    sorry to hear that. I have had good experiences with Optics Planet and always check them when shopping as they're prices are the best.

    I have purchased from them before and had a similar experience. However, their prices are good and they have free shipping. So, I guess I'll continue dealing with them.

    from the looks of the other posts, seems like you may just have all the luck. bummer! I hate it when that happens...

    If you are talking about Optics Planet, they have been great to me. I have been happy with their prices and fast shipping on just released high end items that no one else could get. Sorry to hear you had troubles.
