Any PSA Black Friday Orders Showing Up Yet?

[heymatthew]

I was in the Farrow store today and hear some lady in there who was talking to a customer about shipping...I swear I heard her saying orders from the 5th were shipping today and tracking numbers should have gone out. However, I ordered a parts kit and some stuff on the 5th, and I didn't have tracking info waiting on me when I got home...

I know they're busy. I'm not sweating it. I have all the pieces/parts I need (except ammo...can never have enough).

I felt bad for the staff. They had 5-6 people working in there, and when they opened at 10 this morning, both parking lots were FULL of people waiting on them to open. They were swamped. I got the last stripped lower they had today. There was a guy in there who never owned a pistol getting pointers and holding gun after gun keeping one of the employees totally cut off from the store. I know it's his job but they really needed the man power else where and the info the guy was asking was borderline handgun training for a beginner's class.

I got the call today that mine is ready to be picked up. I'm headed over Thursday morning to get it.

The last time I was in the store they had about 12 people in there and about 4 people working and all of them were running all over the place pulling items, showing product, etc. It was nuts. That was 2 months ago.

I ordered a stripped upper during Black Friday (along with another part that did not require assembly from PSA). I also requested in-store pickup.

Order still shows onlne as "processing". No idea when it will be ready. Of course, PSA and everyone else is out of bolt carrier groups so it won't do me much good to get the upper right now (OK I do have some friends who would lend me a BCG).

I noticed that the "AR-15 Days of Christmas" uppers on PSA's website were advertised "ships within 3 business days". Does that mean that customers who ordered during Black Friday (or thereabouts), expecting their uppers to be built and shipped on the usual turnaround, were put on hold so that PSA could prioritize the "three day" Christmas orders? That doesn't seem like good customer service.

Well, less than 24 hours after I posted this I got a call from PSA that my upper is ready to be picked up. Not too bad.

After getting the call I went to PSA's website and whaddya know-bolt carrier groups were back in stock! I jumped on one. I need to see if I can pick it up at the same time; hopefully I can since they don't have to build the thing (I hope).

Now if I can only find some magazines! I received a Shotgun News in today's mail; the ad for "Mo Gun Parts" says they have a special low price on 30 round PMags (the printed price $13.95 is crossed out and it says to go online or call for a special low price. Well, they have them on the website and the special low price is $15.95.
