Marker on Back order 2 months

[Polish]

I can't even afford a Spyder. I spent all my money on the RT, and now I can't even get it untill who-knows-when. I even had a Model 98 as a sort of backup, but I let my friend use it, but instead he broke it....

How do you break a Tippmann? HOW!

Cancel your order and get something thats in stock.

[Muzikman]

well let me give you some more info. It's not 100% there fault.
I first orderd a Nickel body. (Because it was in stock) so i thought.
Then i get a e-mail teling me the x-valve was out of stock till a week later so i changed my body they were supost to be in at the same time.
Now i under stand that the part out work.. but 2 months is a bit long. If i knew it would take this long i would have waited and orderd a bouble trigher frame ( the reasion i did not is i did not have the funds at the time ) But they charged me the next day. That money could have ben in my account erning interst.. and that is why i feel i should get a free ( or at least reduced Price ) double trigger frame. How ever I doubt it will happen.
What i really want is my new gun.

No offense...but that $500 sitting in a 1.5% anual intrest rate bank account for two months would not make you enough money to get a Intelliframe.

It does suck, and AGD's ability to keep things in stock has been REALLY ugly over the last few years. Yes they are a small company, but the only way to make money to sell items...you can not sell items if you do not have them.

Is it there yet? Is it there yet? Is it there yet?

I was about to order one bad *** rt from them but when I saw 1 month waiting I went with my ir3. I wonder how many other customers the loose to back ordering.

Does it matter? AGD sells more than they make...

[jesseyo13]

dont get me wrong, I love agd products(still have a few), but I wonder why they cant keep half of their stuff in stock?

[frischtr]

ditto

Man, I ordered my Karta RT custom from White Wolf two months ago, not here yet... He told me the body was ready a week after I ordered it, but still no package... I'm getting a little antsy...

Thats what I can't understand. I guess it's newbie power, man. Something happened to the valve, and I'd have to buy a new CVX one from Tippmann, but I don't feel like buying a new one. Oh well....

Forget the Intelliframe, two month's interest on $500 in a passbook savings account wouldn't even cover the front frame screw!

Because people buy it? AGD can't produce this stuff fast enough to keep up with demand ... I don't think you'll ever hear them complain about that!

[oneworld]

i just oredered mine

well..i just ordered mine..the lady said everything i ordered was in stock
but its been three days..and i still dont have an order number or even an email tellin me that its outta stock...i dunno maybe i got lucky..or atleast i wont have to wait as long as some people do...man that really sucks...

[WARPED1]

I can see companies being out of stock sometimes, but with AGD it seems a constant. Xmag anyone?

always there to kick a brother while he's down, eh Warped?

[GoatBoy]

Heh, I love WARPED1's posts. I'm sure they cheese a lot of people off, but I get a lot of entertainment value out of them.


Now, if I'm not mistaken, isn't general policy not to charge credit cards pretty much until merchandise is shipped? There are exceptions... but I don't think this is one of those situations. Was this a credit card transaction?



Personally, I would cancel the order. Always have a backup... plan.

Any other markers out there you're interested in?

[RobAGD]

Try being a retailer and ordering things customers actually want to buy and you cant get them.

Its sucks, I have been actually selling the crap outta the ULE RTP's and mainbodies, but AGD cant deliver product in a consistant manner.

Lets be honest, almost all the guns they are selling are using the X valves, how the hell can you run out of your basic black valve ? How about the basic Black Mainbodie ?

Someone is screwing the pooch on the procurment side of things and this has been a consistant issue for over 2 years now and it needs to be fixed.

Its not hard you look at the last 3 months sales or item movment, you see your averging 30 valves a month, you currently have 20 in stock, and you order for 3 months of product, You should order 110-130 ( 3 months * 30 valves + 10 + your pad) valves and that would give you a little head room. Now you also have to account for lead time and production time and final part assembly time. Now you now know you need 6 weeks to get product into the system and ready to sell. Now if you have 20 in stock and it takes 6 week to get new product to sell, and you sell about 30 a month your f'ed. Your realy screwed if your supplier cant get you product on a normal time frame.

blah

Blah^2
