anyone getting stuff from dsa or a eta?

In short, no. Send them an email inquiring about your order, you will get a backorder notice withing 48 hours. They have no stock of the parts they sell. Very poor way to run a business.

yea nothing -- was told for almost 2 wks they had the lpk's i ordered in stock and my order was filled and would ship out -- finally got the truth from someone there that the parts were on backorder and they had no idea when stuff would be in stock -- so i canceled my order friday and was told refund would be back in bank friday night -- well no refund still as of yet from them -- pretty disappointed with them and probably wont use them ever again -- i ordered the lpk's from core15 which will ship this week (supposed to)

I called last Monday and the girl told me they had 2 LPKs for my order and it would ship before the end of the week. I called today and the girl told me it was back ordered for 4 months, so I cancelled. I'll wait for a new LPK deal to pop up and grab one.

same crap they told me for 2 weeks -- thats what pissed me off so much -- just a flat out lie to everyone -- what about your refund? i was charged right away then they put the money back few days later charged again so i actually thought they were shipping after several calls i was told the truth that they dont have stock -- still waiting on refund since early friday

They never charged my card so I had no worries about cancelling.

No, but they did double-bill me. They answered the phone one time, then hung up on me. Won't answer e-mail, either. Thinking about calling local LE up there for a welfare check...

I have a pending order from 12/30/2012...  Three emails wend unanswered, their company phone number goes straight to voice mail and the voice mail box full, so you cant even leave a message.  Just let people know where they stand with their orders, is that too much to ask?  
Crazy times, we all know, yes...  but this is terrible customer service. I can use Bravo Company as a great example - as busy as they are, Paul maintains an open channel of communication and replies to customer emails.  
I doubt i would order from DSA or recommend them to anyone in the future.

All of this sounds very consistent with what I know of DSA from the FAL world. (Usually) Great product, terrible business practices.

I picked up one of their ZM4 lowers from a LGS right before the panic. Plain Jane looking, but everything was to spec and fitted properly to different uppers so I'm happy with them.

I wish I known about this issue with them.  They charged my card immediately thinking the upper and parts totalling 680 were in stock.  Now my card is close to its limits and if a good deal turns up, I'm stuck holding my johnson..

Still waiting on an 11" upper I ordered last August.

yikes.. this doesnt make me feel too good about the 11 upper i ordered in december... they told me 6-8 weeks.. crap. i did get some parts kits i ordered mid january about a week after i ordered them.

August!  DSA is starting to sound like a bullcrap company.  What are they doing....mining their metal.
1/30/2013 7:38:13 PM EDT

Yeah, I ordered some other things with mine too. It all trickled in except the upper, even a couple rare-ish UZI parts.  On November 9 she said:

> We are filling orders right now, the next production run will be in a
> few weeks and at that time you will be notified. We apologize about this delay

Last communication I've had from them, despite a couple mor requests fo updates from me.

I placed an order.  I haven't been able to get through on the phone.  My emails have not been answered.  My CC has not been charged so I'm just sitting tight right now.

I wish I would have seen this before I ordered a Smith Vortex from them.
Why does AR15.com leave their ad up so we think they are a good company??????
Get them the heck off this site if they are charging and not delivering!

They've never charged me for something until it shipped.

the first charge is a pre auth and it goes away in  a few days . when/if it ships it will charge but probably wont for me since i used a card that expires february

As my first post, I'd just like to mention I placed an order yesterday for a complete rifle from them and was told on the phone they are expecting it to take 4 - 5 MONTHS.

If that's true I should be having a wonderful Christmas in July this year...

I abandoned all hope and got a 10" YHM.  If the DSA ever shows, cool, whatever.

I've never had any luck buying anything from DSA, EVER. So...I just don't bother with them any more, plenty of other and better companies out there to deal with.

I received a upper receiver from them last week, and another upper receiver and barrel this week.Granted most sights are taking longer than usual, but I received what I ordered in about 6 weeks,I believe they are somewhat catching up now.

Ordered 4 FAL mags earlier in the month along with some .308 Magpuls.  The magazines shipped within a day or two.  The Magpuls are backordered and card not charged.

No problems with their Customer Service on my end (first order with them).  I plan to order some of their SCAR 17 mags when they come available.

Ordered a pistol upper, bcg (NP3) & charging handle from DSA on 07/09/2012 and received the backorder notice.  Beginning in Oct, 2012 I began calling customer service to obtain shipping date.  Busy signal, direct to voice mail.  No contact.  In mid December I finally got through and the reply was "by the end of the month."  Received the same answer in Jan & Feb.  Actually received the same answer last week, so I asked if I could swap out the pistol upper for any other similarly priced upper (14.5" or 16".) She said yes, but at the current price.  I requested they honor the price as originally sold and asked to speak to a manager.  Was put on hold.

In short, I received a 14.5" upper, regular BCG and charging handle at July, 2012 prices.  Other than the parkerized BCG vs the NP3 BCG, I'm satisfied, because I got my order TODAY!

Because of the long delay, I had obtained a pistol upper from other sources and the change satisfied my current desires.  So I'm good, except for the long delay.

Samantha the CSR was great.  Kudos to her for "grace under fire."

December?  I have received four barrels ordered in Late January to early February.
Brownells, Love Palmetto and Stag.  Stag was slow but I received it within 30 days.
Give up on DS
