2012 DFWMustangs.net AR-15 lower group buy

[KBScobravert]

Unfortunately nope, we had over 90% of people who pledged come through - that is insane... very impressive gentlemen. I have to cut it off so I can do the necessary accounting to make sure we balance and I can place the order.

That is nuts.

How many lowers were sold during the last group buy?

I'd like to thank my fellow DFWM'ers and those from THF.

273.

I'm guessing this process was much smoother than the last, considering the whole PayPal fiasco.

[soap]

any updates?

Has CJ said when we may expect to pick up these? I may have missed when he said they will be delivered.
Uppers assembly complete. waiting on lowers.

When was the order placed?

[livetoshoot]

Everyone,
We have run into a problem with the group buy. The supplier I had originally negotiated the pricing with, Surplus Ammo and Arms, isn't going to honor the prices they originally quoted.

I had worked out wholesale pricing on a number of items including the lowers, parts kits, BCGs and even some AR10 lowers back in mid January.

Then last week when I went to place the order he said the pricing would be $70 a lower and $55 of the LPKs. When I asked why the price change he stated that they had enough business for the year and were not selling at the wholesale prices. I then contacted the owner to plead our case but he confirmed that they were not going to honor the original pricing.

I have been trying to find an alternate source for the last week and have had no luck getting to the prices that SAA had quoted and agreed to. So, I discussed with C.J. and the only option is he is going to return the money to everyone.

I apologize for this and I wish this hadn't happened.

Oh boy. That is one hell of a poor customer service story on their (SAA) part.

They can rest assured I will never buy anything from SAA. Apparently they have enough business and can afford to loose me as a customer.

[YALE]

Thank you very much for trying, Jeff. SAA is going to get a piece of my mind.

[udrandman]

Thank you very much for trying, Jeff. SAA is going to get a piece of my mind.

seriously, this deal was the reason I bought one of their complete uppers, stock, and buffer assembly... They'll be getting an email from me as well.

Thanks Jeff, CJ, and anyone else involved.

I just can't wrap my mind around a company turning down an order of this size that they previously quoted...

[GeorgeG.]

Amazing that a company would turn away almost 16 grand.

Thanks for the effort guys!

[soap]

I hate my fucking life...

edit: I sent em an e-mail. i didn't bash them or said anything wrong... i just let them know how disappointed i am,

[bobs94formula]

Like has been said Thank you Jeff and CJ very much for putting this together. I too am very dissapointed in the poor customer service from SAA. Now I have a reason not to buy anything from them ever again. Very sad they would turn their backs on repeat customers like that.
