I'm starting to remember why I've not placed an order with OP since 2014. That place is a joke.

I have purchased several items, including firearms, from Tombstone Tactical and they always come through. I have not ordered from Optics Planet in several years.

I hope it gets here before the weekend...assuming Tombstone actually shipped it today or tomorrow and didnt just create a tracking number to sit on...it should be here in time.

I've heard similar complaints on OP, so far so good for me.. Buds gun shop just lost me though..

I too had a bad experience with Optics Planet. Mine was regarding warranty on a defective product. I wouldn't buy spit from them ever again.

Everything Ive found on OPs site...seems like I can get cheaper on others.

opticsplanet is a drop shipper. They don't have a warehouse that they ship from unless it's something new. Totally online middle man between their suppliers and the customer which is why they hold orders until they get enough orders to get a discount and then ship.

Honestly Tombstones price scared me...it made me think it was not legit. After looking around and asking a friend, it appears I was mistaken. They were WAY lower than EVERYBODY I could find. Optics Planet with the 10% coupon put it in line with other places...but still about 20% more than Tombstone.

Depends on what you order from Optics Planet, some items ship fast some slow. I use them if they have the best price and I'm not in a hurry to get what I ordered.
