I placed an order with Georgia Arms back on March 23rd, 2009. I understand the current situation and have waited patiently for the ammo to arrive.
I received 500rds of .45FMJ about 3 weeks ago. I called them about a week prior to receiving the 500rds to check on the status of my order and was told that the order would ship out that week.
I called tonight (almost 6 MONTHS after the order was placed) to check on the status of the remaining 3500rds of FMJ and the 1000 rounds of JHP that I ordered. I was told that the new policy was that .45 ammo was limited to 500rds per customer and that I would have to reorder 500 more rounds.
It is absolutely ridiculous that they are not honoring an order that is almost 6 MONTHS old. The new policy is fine, but they are applying to an order that old and NOT TELLING ME? I was NEVER told ANYTHING about this new policy. It wasn't in effect when I placed the order and I was never told of the change (which only took effect recently).
I have been sitting here waiting patiently for the ammo instead of calling everyday and bothering them. I checked the status at reasonable intervals (every 6 weeks or so), but respected the fact that they were busy and constantly calling them would only slow them down even more.
I could have been sourcing ammunition from other places, but I have bought from them consistently for the past couple of years and I believe in repeat business.
Just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else falls into the same situation. I have been a loyal customer and spent thousands of dollars with them, but I will not buy another round from them after this. And I will encourage my co-workers to find somewhere else as well. With the current ammo situation, they probably won't feel it and probably won't care, but it's the principle.
And no, I didn't order a large quantity because I'm hording it. I go through about 2000 rounds a month for training/work/etc. My 40 co-workers go through about the same amount. That's a lot of business lost, even if only half of them find another ammo source.
