ssporters?

Anyone have experience with ssporters.com? I placed an order about two weeks ago and havent received anything. I got an email saying my order shipped the same day i placed the order. They charged my card, but never got a tracking number or anything. I emailed asking if they had a tracking number and explained it has been 2 weeks and hadnt gotten anything. I havent heard back from them yet.



Just wondering what others experience is.

I placed multiple order before they had the current fancy website. I had to mail in the form with my credit card number. Never had any problems. I wonder whether the guy is still run the joint.

I have never had a problem with them, but I have have always dealt with them over the phone.

I've never ordered from them but I think I'll be paying special attention. they've got something there that would really go well with one of my milsurps and it's pretty cheap.

I've ordered parts from them, and never had a problem. Don't remember them being especially fast on shipping, but always got what I ordered.

If you are talking about Springfield Sporters, I have had really bad experiences with them. I was done with them years ago.

So I finally got my stuff. It took almost an entire month, but the package finally came. It was packaged well and I'm happy with what I got. They are just really bad with communication. But they did deliver what I ordered and I'm happy.

So if anyone else orders from them, just be patient

From what I understand, it's pretty much a one man operation at this point. I have never been disappointed with what I got and I have ordered a bunch of Lee-Enfield parts from him.

He (forget his name) has been operating like that for a long time. What he didn't had was the fancy website.

He is a good guy in my book.

GTG. One-man show like myself (and others) and very busy. I gotta get up there for a visit someday, no online firearms sales.
