Hello all,
Wanted to drop a note about very negative experience I've had with company out of California by name of DV8 Dynamics. They advertise custom cut slides for most popular modern defense handguns. I was building a Glock 43 for edc, found DV8 Dynamics website with the Raptor One cut slide. Says it's their most popular. Well I paid $338 in April. Received confirmation that they had my order.
Then I waited....and waited. Site says for this model 6-7 weeks lead time. After 10 weeks I used their websites contact form to ask about it. No response. Another 3 weeks I sent them pm on their facebook page requesting cancellation. That was last Friday. Today I got person telling my how busy they were and that they had that posted on their site. He did offer to check status of my order. I've had enough of waiting and didnt appreciate any contact with first request so I told him just cancel my order. They replied that per their policy, an order started and canceled required 30% restocking or some such fee. This on there most popular style slide with no finish.
So, it looks to me like this company is not doing anything to ramp up production (since found complaints about LONG waits, no communications), and are now making money off builders and shooters becoming frustrated and handing them $100 just to be done with them. It's a shame cause slide looks great.
Mike.
