Been trying to get the status of an order. My emails come back as undeliverable and I get nothing but a busy signal trying to call.

Is it just me?
 
Re: Anyone use SWFA recently?

I just e-mailed with Kody last week without issue, as well as the general "info" e-mail...again, no problems. As for the busy signal when calling...can't help you there as I've not tried to call. I think its probably just you!

I just talked with skylar and got an order placed. You just have to keep calling. If the lines are full you get a busy signal.
 
Re: Anyone use SWFA recently?

Emails still getting returned (not sure how im screwing that up). I did get a human finally. I am told there is a two week backlog on exchanges (received the wrong reticle). Nuts...
 
Re: Anyone use SWFA recently?

They are CRAZY busy. I don't typically use them as I am in the same great state of TX and I have to pay sales tax. I did buy some rings and a Burris PEPR because even after sales tax AND shipping, they were still cheaper than MidwayUSA and they were in stock.

It took a week for the order to get out, but I can imagine (same as all of the vendors out there) that lead times are getting longer, not shorter.

Be patient. The phone rings constantly at that place.

They are good folks and will take care of you.

They took care of me. I ordered a scope,it was backordered so I called 3 days later and changed it to something else. The fellow I talked to was nice as could be and got my new scope out the next day.

Recently had to send a SS 10x42HD in for service. Called SWFA and they told me to send it to Bushnell, which I did. Bushnell has a 4-6 week lag for any sort of response at all. I'm not real happy waiting, and I hope their service is worth the wait.

My 12x MRAD came 4 days after my order was placed. Only the rings I ordered were backordered... but they were shipped within3 days of me receiving the scope. I was extremely happy with the process and would happily recommend SWFA
 
Re: Anyone use SWFA recently?

i actually had a problem with an order about a week or two ago. i accidentally ordered a 6x42 instead of a 10x42. i shot them an email a few minutes after ordering and the got back to me and changed the order the next morning. i did try calling but i got busy signals too.
 
Re: Anyone use SWFA recently?

I ordered the 3-9x42 tactical rifle scope with AD-Recon mount ordered it last friday and shipped in today, so 7 business days. For what i know they are good, also re submitted my order with butler caps and they got it right... Now just ready to try it out
