Aero Precision Shipping Time

[Vapor]

Anyone else ever order directly from Aero? I did last weekend becuase they had a sale. It was $10 difference between then and primary arms. They said 3-5 days processing. We are at 5 business days, no word.


I just am curious to know if this is normal for them before I start bugging their customer service.


In the future, I'll order their parts from someone else.

Normal last few years. Sometimes the carrier or a sale adds a day (more stuff to pack, shipper truck filled) during higher volume periods too. Expect half their shipments out 3 to 5 workdays, half their shipments out the door 6 to 8 workdays.

Primary Arms and Optics Planet seem to be one day slower than Aero out the door during higher volume sale periods.

A number of Mom and pop FFLs found off gun deals usually beat their prices and ship out next day. The downsides are inventory on hand and they may not collect the homage to our queen.

Optics planet sucks, but primary used to get my stuff out in 24 hours.

Sometimes Aero does too, but during sales and cv19 staffing times ... not so much.

I stopped buying anything from Primary Arms after they insisted my NYS resident friends can't have parts for bolt action precision guns blaming the SAFE Act.

Optics Planet absolutely blows. They're nothing but a drop shipper.

Primary Arms has been my first stop check for pretty much everything the last 10 years or so. I usually have a tracking number within 24 hours.

Hard to blame any retailers for avoiding NY. We all know unSAFE is clear as mud. Why would a Texas based business want to risk their livelihood because NY elects fucking idiot politicians.

Primary arms is good, but Joe Bob out of otters will get your stuff out the same day ordered. Fantastic group of people.

Joe Bob was good for the few orders I've made



I need specific parts though


Ones that one may buy if they had lunch at 3:08.

I placed it 8/20, they shipped 8/23 ,but didn't tell me.


Weird.

And my package is delayed.


Oh boy here we go...

I checked, there is legit bad weather where it's delayed.

My FFL said my package was t opened so maybe I was just being paranoid. Fed ex sucks and my shot regularly gets delayed by then. Good luck.

Package arrived ok.


Primary arms just canceled an upper order from me.


I guess Aero gets more of my business someday.

Scratch that, found what I was looking for even cheaper at classic.

Wow. Not pleased at all by that. So primary arms won’t ship anything to NYS AR-15 related. They have lost my future business.

Classic arms stills does, and beats their prices. Also shipped the same day.

Joe Bob and Right to Bear AR-15 Parts, Accessories & Upgrades | RightToBear.com are both great to deal with.

I fortunately I looked at Joe Bob and the only uppers they had in stock were $500-$600 and I’m not willing to pay that right now. I just liked primary arms and I thought they would be one to stand up, I guess I was wrong. I have one of their prism red dots and I love it.
Joe Bob is fantastic and they ship very quickly. I have ordered more than a few times from them and will continue to do so. They also have actual customer service with a real person that responds to you the same day, and that’s nearly impossible to find these days.

Thanks I’ll check out classics. Upper prices or the availability of cheaper ones seems rare these days. Yes palmetto state armory has them but their customer service sucks if you need it. I hate to buy from them, but maybe that’s who will get my business this go around. Actually it’s not for me, but I’m helping some one out together a rifle with recommendations for parts. They don’t want to spend a fortune.
