So you're upset because you didn't see the messages we put on the website notifying customers of the delay in shipment and that's somehow us doing a bait and switch?
We'd rather customers NOT order right now. We can't give optimal service, period. That's why we put the notices on the website. It's not ideal, but we live in an imperfect world right now. We need to get caught up, period. That's why we're not running any sales, or doing any sort of marketing. We NORMALLY ship super fast, but with the influx of panic buying orders we can't really do much.
You obviously know something that the vast majority of gun dealers in the US don't know. I'd honestly suggest starting your own firearms business in the industry to show us how easy it can be when your order volume doubles or triples literally overnight. That is to say, if you can get inventory to sell right now.
Business is tough right now, and isn't by any means "Easy". With that said, we're doing our best. That may not be good enough for you, but it is for most people with empathy for a situation outside of our control. Shipments don't go in or out on weekends or Holidays, which affects ALL ecommerce businesses this time of year. Common sense tells me all orders right around Christmas time could be potentially delayed with holiday schedules and weather.
We could jack up prices across the board to hedge demand but...that wouldn't set very well with most customers.
