I will say yes. They have gotten alot better over the years. Check to see if the item is in stock and I would say you should be pretty confident.

I think the consensus is they are hit and miss. Best to call and make sure item is in stock. I've ordered from them once. Ordered went smooth for me.

I tried to order from them once. They didn't think I could have high-cap mags in Virginia though.

They are the embodiment of your dreams of stupidly low prices tempered by an absolutely abysmal lack of anything like even bad customer service. If you buy from them you deserve what you will get while you blindly chase a lower price on an item you won't receive for months. And they couldn't give a damn whether you are unhappy.

Lol.
How many more of these "Is Botach any good?" threads need to happen before there is a sticky? 
The one thing that I got from them worked out, however, for every satisfied Botach customer (or shill, if you prefer) there is about 20 or so that figured out somewhere along the way that whatever that they ordered was put on "intergalactic space backorder", which pretty much means that you will never get it, ever. I guess the common refrain is to make absolute, 100% sure that what you want, is actually in stock, which means that you WILL have to CALL them and talk to a PERSON to have them PHYSICALLY put their hands on it first, so that you can then order with some sort of confidence.

I have ordered from Botach twice in the last 15 years.
After weeks of waiting, neither order was delivered. I ended up cancelling them after several phone calls. |

About once a month, a guy at work asks me if Botach is good as he's cruising the interwebs on his phone. Then a week later the same guy asks me if Optics Planet is good...followed a few days later by "Is Cheaper Than Dirt any good'?
He keeps asking me this, and I keep saying "no". You'd think he'd get the message every time I cut him off at "is....." but, nope!

They are real retarded sir.
I accidentally bought from them through Amazon. Delivered on half the order and flaked on the rest. Complained to Amazon and was refunded no problem. If you want to take your chances go through Amazon, at least you'll have the satisfaction of leaving them a shit review when they fuck it up, you won't have much hassle either. |

I have placed 5 or 6 orders for glock mags and have never had a problem. You can't find a better deal on new glock mags. I think they are $22.50 shipped

They haven't screwed me yet.
I've had a running order for one mag at a time for the past 6 months or so. When it arrives, I order another. I don't trust them after all the horror stories I've read here, but shipping is free with no minimum purchase. This way I never have more than 25-30 bucks on the line. I've never waited more than 4-5 days for an order. |

In my analysis, 87% of the time they actually ship what you ordered for 43% of their orders

My experience is I ordered some mags they had in stock, got a back order message and then they canceled. During that time they had gunbroker sales for three packs of said mags
 .
My buddy has ordered twice from them here recently and he's had a great experience both times... So it's hit or miss with them

95% for me
Of the 2 or so times they took my money on oos items (they didnt really take it, just reserved those monies in my acct) and after a few days of not shipping, I asked for and recieved release of funds. theres not many other places you can just get 1 or 2 mags shipped for their price. |

No they are not. It's a gamble if you'll ever get your product, and they have some of, if not THE worst customer service in the industry.
