2012 DFWMustangs.net AR-15 lower group buy

[soap]

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.

agreed,

tomorrow im going to return several new un open boxs. of parts i bought from them just for this build, and will never give them my business ever again!!!

Aww man that sucks...

[bigshoe]

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.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I was getting ready to order 3 uppers and few other things from them. Well fuck them then.

Way to piss off 100 active customers spending money.

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.

Jeff

Just as Jeff stated the summary is we couldn't secure another vendor. We have been working this last week to salvage the GB with Palmetto State Armory. They got the prices close to where we needed them, and really tried to get our business and we appreciate that but we could not cover the shipping and sales tax, it was just too far off unfortunately. I understand cancelling money orders and cashier's checks carry a fee which I don't think is right, so I'll cover the postage to ship everyone's order back so you can cash it yourself and not lose any money. I'd really like everyone to consider Palmetto State Armory for their business since they worked hard to try and meet our pricing. Unfortunately group buys can prove to be difficult. We tried hard to do the best we could but I can't keep you guys waiting forever while I secure another vendor, and we decided we'd rather get your money back to you as to not hold up your builds. I apologize and hope that in the future we can get a vendor that is a little more dependable.

Anyone call Palmetto State yet? They sell $49 lowers from time to time.

Edit: Never mind, Internet is slow at work and CJ beat me to it.


And I've bought 3 lowers from Palmetto before, great place, just might take a few months.

[David]

Thats a fucking pisser.

[Trick Pony]

Those bastards. On their website I noticed they raised the price of their lowers to $80 and the Aero stamped ones to $92. Hell, you can get spikes lowers for $80. I hope it kills their business.

[Mach1Run]

Damn that's a bummer.

[bigmuskie]

Well aint this some bull shit!!!

I'm with everyone else, I'll not place another order with them. Thanks again, CJ and Jeff, for setting up the GB and then trying to salvage it. Looks like Palmetto will see more of me.

Just thinking the same thing.

If you have to do stop payment, you will lose more money. Been there and done that already.

Well you guys should keep your receipts! If you can't get it cashed, then I'll cash it for you worst case scenario.

[Mach1Run]

Lol I hadn't thought of that. I know I kept it but cant think where I stashed it for safekeeping. Someplace safe even from me apparently.
