Anyone ever order from YHM?

I order a gas block riser directly from the YHM website almost two weeks ago and it hasn't arrived yet. You would think with the $10.00 shipping it would be here by now. The website did not list it as out of stock. I will call them on Monday just curious to see if anyone has experienced their shipping before or knows how they ship. UPS, USPS? Thanks.

Might or might not get ahold of anybody on Monday with it being a holiday.
I started to order a gas block and sight from them, but I went with Brownell's as they were cheaper and I just have more faith in them as I've been ordering from them for a long time.

When were you in the sandbox? I was there in '03 and '04- Talil, Al Asad, FOB Redskin, Najaf, Scania, and some crappy little palace place near Habaniyah.

I've had good luck ordering from YHM. They may be running a bit slower than they used to, but you'll get what you ordered.

My guess is SHOT has something to do with the delay. It's like this every year - anyone with a minimally-manned shop is kinda worthless for the first few weeks of the January.

Thanks for the replies guys. 10-96, I was there in 05-06 Al Hillah and FOB Falcon Baghdad. I always order from Brownells but they didn't have the riser I needed. It's the one that lets you mount a same plane front site on a gas block. I have Troy BUIS and a YHM gas block. Currently, my BUIS are co-witnessed with my EOTECH.

I ordered an upper receiver and a BCG from YHM just about two weeks ago, still waiting to receive them. I figured maybe shipping to Alaska was taking a bit longer. I am not worried yet, but usually receive things quicker when ordering from Brownells or Midway.
