My very limited number of orders through Optics Planet all left me rather unhappy.
The worst was a Redfield Revolution rifle scope that was "in stock" and had an estimated delivery date that was only about 10 days out. I placed the order, and - before even the order confirmation email arrived - immediately got an email stating that, 'due to high demand ... the product wouldn't ship for 5-6 weeks'.
That scope's application wasn't ready to shoot yet, so I let it slide.
Time passed. I grew irritated. OP didn't care.
I demanded a refund. They told me it was "impossible" because they'd already paid the "supplier". I filed a claim with the credit card company. They negotiated with OP and knocked something like $40 off.
In the end, it took five MONTHS for them to have the scope drop-shipped from Leupold/Redfield.
