I bought a primary arms prism optic today

[Saltwater60]

I’ve never owned one of their optics but it seems to get rave reviews. PA was out of it so I went to optics planet and bought it. It was the same price. It sounds interesting so let’s see what happens.

Said it was in stock at optics planet. So hopefully a week.
Um yeah I just looked at the email they sent me on estimated time to ship says 13-15 months. Why the fuck would it say it was in stock if that’s the case? I’m canceling the order tomorrow.

Optics Planet sucks.

They've got some deal site now with the same stupid shipping times.

Or 6 months

Or 6 months

Just looked at the order and it’s worse. 13-15 months. Why would they say stock is limited? This is ridiculous and I’m canceling the order and telling them so.

How the fuck are they in business still? I’ll never bother with them again. I paid out of PayPal funds that won’t be there soon so how will it go through?

by the way thank you for the heads up so I looked at the processing time. I doubt I’ll find it elsewhere but hey.

I’ll let you know. I just bought it from Joe bobs. Seems like it’s in stock there??
PA chat service was useless. I’ll cancel the order soon.

Sometimes I feel like OP ships from another planet.

I think they just take orders then route them through other businesses. I don't think they maintain their own inventory.

Sounds like a useless business to me. Ill just go to someone who has it.

 

[Saltwater60]

Well bought it about an hour ago and it shipped already. Wow. I’ll return to Joe bob for sure. I think I bought my sr22 from them years ago.

You’re correct in this case since it said ships directly from manufacturer.

JBO is hella solid place to buy from

I think I got that scope from midway or Joe bobs I cant remember. Optics planet is a joke. I just cancelled an order with them for a holosun because they said in stock and then kept pushing the ship date back. As far as the scope goes it's a nice scope. The reticle was a bit busy at first since I never used one before but I got used to it.
It was Joe Bobs

Optics planet is a drop shipper for the most part. Tbey don't have the inventory, they just buy it from their suppliers when you order and have it sent to yoy. Their lead time SUCKED way before COVID. Joe Bob is awesome, Primary Arms too.

Then they should lie on their site and say it’s in their inventory.
I emailed Joe bob and thanked them for having prompt shipping and actual customer service. They thanked me within 10 minutes. Optics planet will not get my business anymore.

Or 6 months

I ordered a holosun 507 back in Nov, i just received it 2 weeks ago.

JoeBobs has a live inventory, if they said it was in stock it is in stock.

 

[Saltwater60]

Says it will be here Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s the post office so I’m giving them a buffer.
Thanks guys for the warning on OP and the heads up on joebob.

F Optics Planet in the throat.

in addition to their scumbag shipping scam, they also don’t send threaded barrels or muzzle devices to NY.

 

[Saltwater60]

Funny they wanted my feedback. I told them I wouldn’t recommend them and three different sources told me three different timelines and it was deceptive to say it was limited stock. I told them I bought it elsewhere

 

[Saltwater60]

I received it yesterday and the scope looks great. The glass is super clear and the recticle is clear and bright even with glasses and an astigmatism. Has 11 brightness settings. A normal red dot is not even close to clear to me.
I have not mounted it but I really like the look and feel of it. There is a riser that can be removed as well and an accessory rail. Came with a battery, all tools, and extra screws needed.
joe bob is impressive.

I wish I saw this before I ordered from these clowns. Ordered a scope set up for a new AR build on Saturday night so we'll call it Monday. Then Monday I realized I needed a couple of more things so I made another order. Now it's Thursday and the scope order is "processing" and the second order says it's "en-route" since Tuesday but the carrier's site still says they're awaiting the item. I think it's time to cancel.

From optics planet? Of so look on your order and it will say the estimated time of shipment, at least it did for me. It was an insane timeframe. I love the scope, but I’ll never bother with optics planet again.

I don't buy anytning from Optics Planet anymore. They take WAY too long, over promise and under-deliver all the time.
