Botach has received terrible ratings for CS since I got into guns years ago. Sorry you had trouble OP.

I have no idea why anyone does business with them or CTD. CTD is rarely anywhere close to the cheapest online option, I just don't get it.

Got the same email. So this means that they can now take the mags they do have(will get) and charge for the current market price while screwing all the current back orders?


That is exactly what they are doing. And they will get away with it scott free.

Since we're talking about shitty and sketchy companies I'll add wideners to the list. Ordered 250 rounds from them 15 days ago. Got an email confirming order and shipping turnaround is 15-20 days. No big deal. Well I'm going to my camp next week and was gonna try to expedite my shipping. Well the frickers don't have a working phone and won't respond to my emails. My card has been charged. Who the frick knows if I'll ever get my boolitz.

A lot of companies arent answering phones or emails right now. If you get your baby killing bullets, its still a win. If not, not.

Yeah it just chaps my arse. I'm sure I'll get them, it may just be in April. Which will do me no good next week.

How much cheaper is it to order through a company with thousands of people in front of you for something that is being sold everywhere, excluding gunbroker and similar sites for a few dollars more? I know it's more of a business ethics related issue you are experiencing, but at some point you must ask yourself is the 100 or so dollars I save really worth all this? Not a flame towards you, simply curious.

Speaking for myself, I had never heard of them and didn't research them before I ordered. That was a mistake on my part but it doesn't excuse them for lying to me. Twice. They sent me an email telling me my order had been cut to 3 mags. Now it's been cut to zero.

Yeah that's chicken shite. I'd be pissed as well. No excuse in that. All we can do is compile a list and put it out there for people. Dicks is number 1 on mine in case anyone is keeping tabs. Haha

POS (Point of Sale)


I like how they include the part in parenthesis to make sure you interpret POS in the way they want you to. Maybe if they handled their business better they could have saved typing out "(Point of Sale)".

Very true my man, just got to question at what point does the instant gratification of actually holding one outweigh the "thrill of the hunt" so to speak. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. Speaking personally, my time spent waiting and searching is not worth the extra money saved, but by no means is that the way to do it. Actually fricks me in the long run, but oh well, it's just money, Amirite?

Huh? I placed my order on December 18th when they were running a special for 10 mags for $100 or so. I didnt join their backordered list to save money, I was under the impression that they were in stock.

Now I am going to order 10 Gen3 from DSG. It will take forever to get them but I am in no rush.

welcome to our world son. i ordered 10 tapco 7.62 mags from impact guns and guess how many of those they filled after i waited 2 months?

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am still waiting on my troy battlemags from them for my AR's. I cancelled my order of mags with USAAMMO. Still waiting on two 42 round mags for my AR's also from promag. promag DID ship me my 40 rounders for my Ak though.

So glad i got all my lancer advanced warfighter mags earlier.

welcome to our world son.


This ain't my first back ordered item. It is my first item that has been cancelled though. I have a thousand rounds waiting to be shipped from Midway and a few cases from other companies. Love the 300 blackout except for its rarity.

Got 10 steel mags with upgraded springs and followers, 10 Gen2 30 round Pmags, 5 Gen2 20 round mags, and a couple Surefire 60 rounders. I don't need mags, I just want them. The new ones will replace the old ones that I'll sell to pay for the new ones plus some.
