Received a knock off JP ULMOS from OpticsPlanet

[Oporko]

Posting to warn and vent. Received this from OpticsPlanet 3 days ago. Fake BCG, bolt and pin are missing completely. No idea how this could have happened (mb someone ordered it before, replaced with a golden hand painted $50 bcg and returned it, that would be my best guess). OP said they’ll do investigation. Working with their customer service to get a replacement.

I mean, I’ve bought my fair share from them, customer service is meh, ETA for shipping is typically months off etc, but this is totally new level.
P.S. customer service told me - please send it back. We will investigate how this happened. I asked to send a replacement, first customer service rep said no, 2nd said we could do early one once your package starts moving towards us. Well, at least it was cheap

Someone probably bought one, swapped it for chinesium, and returned it.

This is why we inspected returns so carefully when I worked at a gun retailer. It happens.

worst retailer I’ve ever dealt with. straight up liars.

Optics planet sucks but if some asshole bought it and swapped a fake and returned it committing fraud, I can’t fault OP. They have to sell returns because they can’t just chuck the shit in the trash because someone returned it and you can’t expect air heads to catch that shit when it comes back, you’re lucky if most of them can even identify it as a BCG.

People fucking suck and with Amazon type return policy’s that everyone expects nowadays problems like these aren’t going to go away.

Update: OpticsPlanet charged me again without my authorization, but apparently shipping a replacement soon.

Pay attention to them crediting you back for the second charge. In the one transaction I had with them they did the same thing and then never refunded the second charge.

Had the same thing happen with a Steiner laser. Some one put a paint ball (?) one in the box. They sent a new one right away.

Ok guys, I feel like I’m going nuts. I’ve received a replacement today. A real JP ULMOS. BUT. Is it me, or it’s at minimum a bit used? OP for sure can make you paranoid. I don’t recall anything like this on my other JP things.
Edit: cam pin looks absolutely new tho…

 

[redneckbmxer24]

Your first mistake was ordering from OP in the first place. Your second mistake was not just getting your money back and ordering from a company that doesn’t suck absolute ass.

Was the bolt in a sealed bag with oil still on it?

Saw one that was likely something similar on eBay. Some pawn shop selling a Razor LH 2-10 but the scope by the box in the photos was 50 dollar Bushnell 3-9.

I no longer really have anything bad to say about OP. I check items I order to make sure they are in stock. Their prices are usually good and their shipping is usually free. My packages have been correct and on time.

Nope, came already installed in bcg

Stop using optics planet. They are a complete scam and a giant turd of a company. Call JP directly

Yep, they sent you a used condom… The slide marks on the gas key and bolt head are a dead giveaway. Send it back. Get a refund. Buy one from someone that’s NOT O.P.

Dang, that sucks...

But thanks... for reminding me that I wanted to try out an old/new aluminum ULMOS (which I will not be ordering from Optics Planet lol).
