Re: WOTAC--buyer beware!
Hello,
I do apoligize that I have not posted on this forum (or any forum for some time). This is a matter that I should have addressed with all of our customers.
Wonders Optics has always had an excellent reputation for providing customer service at levels that are pretty much unheard of in this industry. I am very proud of what me and my team have done, and we will continue to do exactly what we have done for some time now, and we will continue to grow.
If at any time, there is a customer that is not satisfied with our services, or product, we invite everyone to join in, and give us feedback on a product. When I first posted on this forum a few years ago, we received many excellent ideas, and we were able to impliment a lot of them. I think that is why we have been so successful at our jobs, and developed the reputation that we have.
We are currently out of stock on the WOTAC models. We have been for a few months, while working in a new design that will improve the total strength of the scope. As any new design will go, we went through parts issues, tolerance issues, and shipping/logistics issues with some of these parts. That does not mean that we are not doing everything in our power to fix them, and we are definately close to that. For those that I for some reason have not communicated with... the WOTAC 4-14, and 10x40 GEN5 models will be in stock at the end of this month. We have the parts, design, and tolerance issues worked out. if you have one on warranty, it is taking priority, and will be the first ones to leave here.
Please also remember that you are not paying for a $2500.00 scope. I have always been proud of the way that our scopes have stacked up against scopes that cost way more than they do (sometimes as much as 5 times), and we will continue to improve them as often as possible. Again for those that have had issues, or fell into this lull that we are almost out of... you have my apoligies.
Our customs issues fell into wierd circumstances with the Falcon Menace optics. We have been one of the largest, and well known dealers for Falcon Optics for some time. Please remember that these scopes are from another country, and please remember that there are times that customs on both ends are a little "picky" when it comes to parts, and items that are associated with this industry. It's a sensative area that we have to deal with, and sometimes there are going to be little delays and waits... thats the downside to international dealings.
Please understand, and know that we are doing everything in our power to make sure that every customer gets what they want, and are able to use the product to it's fullest capabilities. We do have WOTAC shooters that are making 2000 yard shots, and we do have local competitions that have been won with them. I personally take shots from 750M to 1400M with my 12x44 model, and have been using that model for over a year. The same can be said for the Falcon Optics. They are not $2500.00 scopes, but both optics are well beyond what you would expect from a sub $1000.00 scope
For the customer that has the issue with us, I invite you to call, and speak with me directly... I am sure that we can come to an agreement on what ever the issue is. One thing that I learned very quickly in this isdustry, is that not everyone is going to be happy with one particular model, which is why we carry optics from nearly every major scope company out there.... We have done it many times, and can offer deals on certain optics that are well below what they should be. Just please call, or send me a direct email.
For those that tried to get ahold of me. I am sorry if I have not returned your call, or emailed you. We received 100+ plus calls, and emails every day. While I do really try to get every one taken care of... There are going to be times that a person falls through... and you also have my apoligies on that. We are a small company, and we will stay that way. We don't have a large call center, and we will not get one. I don't want my business to turn into something like that. Again, we are very proud of where we have made it to, and we will continue with what works.
Another reason for the delays, and communication issues have been health related. I have been in and out of the office constantly (alot of you know that... when you call, Ive been in the truck). Like it or not, my little health issues are over, and I am back at work. Again, I apoligize that you did not get the service that you expected from us, and we will do what's neccessary to ensure that every customer gets the service that they deserve.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and I apoligize to anyone that has been effected by any of the above issues. Know that all issues the have been resolved, and we are back on track.
