I never allow Brownells to back order anything. Here is why...
About 2002 I ordered a long list of small parts. That was the first time I used their website to order something. Prior to that, I called the 800 number and talked to one of the Iowans working there. The total was about $200 including shipping. A week later, I got 3 parts out of the 20 items I ordered. Two weeks later I go another part, and they hit my CC for an additional $8.95 for shipping the next item. Two weeks later, they did it again. And again. And again. The 20 items came in 15 shipments and each time they hit me for an additional $8.95 Each time I called the 800 number, and the “nice” person told me they don’t ship for free. When the entire order was done, I had the CC company reverse the charges for the shipping on everything but the original. Brownells froze that account. Fortunately, I moved that summer and opened a new online account with a different email address and physical address.
