Has anyone been having problems with Optics Planet lately? I've bought from them a few tims before without issue. Usually they have better prices than most, even if just by a little. Sunday I ordered a new Nikon M-308 scope for my new inbound DPMS SASS. This particular item on their site had a package deal with the 4-16x scope, a M-308 20 MOA mount, and a Nikon wind meter, total price with expedited shipping (wanted by weekend & very reasonably priced at $29) $590. Not too shabby.
Now before I ordered I checked and all 3 items said "in stock" or "ships in 1-2 days", can't remember which. Submitted the order, got email receipt which showed an anticipated delivery date of Friday (today). Got phone message Thursday afternoon, having trouble getting item in stock. I called back, not saying which of the 3 items are "delinquent ". They offered me a Vortex Vipe HS-T and Warne 20 MOA mount instead, said they'd get as close to my original sale price as possible. I asked about the wind meter - "Oh I hadn't planned on that being part of the deal". Why not, I ordered that didn't I? Now I love the Vortex, my favorite Optics brand btw but this package had everything I wanted, and for a cheaper price than buying it all separate. I declined, I'll wait for the back order. Not urgent, was an impulse buy anyway. Check the website this morning, that package deal still says "in stock".
Tonight I get a email from them inviting me to join a members only website called Dvor.com. A membership to a website that sells the same stuff that Optics Planet sells? Pushing this thing hard too. Little too hard in my opinion. Seems odd to me.
Anyone else having weird dealings with them, or have any experience with Dvor.com?
