CheaperThanDirt.com - pretty disappointed

[tRidiot]

Well, ordered 4 mags back in mid-Dec. Got one in the mail, packing slip said 4, order online and e-mail confirmation said 4.

When I went to the website, there was a special note on the site that said something to the effect of, "If you didn't get all of your order, please wait a few days and see if another shipment shows up."

Well, I waited... sent an email on the 27th, since it'd been 2 weeks and still nothing. They email me back saying they can't ship my mags as they are out of stock. Kinda disappointed it took two weeks and me making an inquiry to find that out. I mean, they've had my money all this time, and it wasn't exactly a priority for them to notify me. Nice.

So I email back and specifically say I don't want a refund, I'd like a credit, or here are 3 or 4 more other similar mags I'd find acceptable, and I would even be willing to pay the difference. But I most definitely don't want a refund... I paid over 2 weeks ago, I want to get some mags!

So I get this back:

Danny,

I refunded you - please allow your bank 3 business days to post the credit to your account.

Wow. Color me underwhelmed for the extra effort. :finger:

So where's the next best place to order some PMAGs?

<edit> BTW, I promised them I would tell all my friends about my wonderful experience with them, so... here it is.

For the record, it's not a huge deal, it's just that they didn't seem to give a damn one way or the other no matter what. Sucky thing is, I'm in the market for quite a few new accessories for my new AR build. Probably from someone else, now. Thanks, CTD.com!

Not sure where you are located here in oklahoma, but if you are anywhere near OKC there is a place called Outdoor America. They usually have a decent stock on Pmags at a good price. Otherwise I would send my business to Primaryarms.com or Midwayusa.com. Primaryarms is very prompt and very helpful if you have any questions or problems. Hell I usually just call them and place my order on the phone.

I've had real good luck with SKD Tactical http://www.skdtac.com/default.asp and DSG Arms http://dsgarms.com/

DSG is in Ft. Worth, so even regular shipping is only a day or two out. SKD has $5 flat rate shipping (USPS Priority or UPS Ground) and is currently running 15% off everything. I loved SKD's "We Got Him!" OBL celebration sale!

Never bought anything from CTD. Last time i bought AR mags it was from www.aimsurplus.com

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with CTD. It's rare that they don't take care of their customers properly, at least I've never had any problems. Midwayusa.com is pretty awesome like some others pointed out. If you just want PMAGs, you can always order them directly from Magpul I think.

Besides those mentioned,

http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/ (I've never done business with them, but they get pushed by several OK shooters)
http://www.44mag.com/
http://www.botachtactical.com/ was one that was suggested to me when I was looking for 20lr PMAG's.

CTD is hardly cheaper than anything much less dirt. lol

I've done business with Joe Bob's on several occasions this past year, and have nothing but very positive things to say about them. They're up in Kansas, so my items arrive lickety-split.

cold hand arms locally in OKC...steve has a good selection as well as other brands that you might find you like better.

I've ordered from botach before. It was on an item they said they had in stock. After I ordered they apparently didn't have it in stock. They did get my order to me it just took roughly 4 weeks time. Maybe they have gotten better, but if you are in a hurry for mags I would look elsewhere.
