I ordered a couple of items from One Source Tactical about a month ago. The items were backordered and I waited patiently.

In time they will come in and in time they will ship. No big deal.

Yesterday I checked the status of my order (using their "Check Order Status" on their webpage, not by emailing or calling, i.e. bothering a live human) and it read "processing payment." This was progress, as the status had been "awaiting product" for five weeks! Things were looking up!

I get an email from USPS today stating that my order had shipped! Awesome!
I get an email from OST today stating that any orders placed from today on will have free shipping. Shit. :|

I guess I can assume that it is merely a coincidence that my items shipped the day free shipping was implemented and it isn't a deliberate rush to get my order out before I have any understandable reason to email or call them asking why my order can't have free shipping as well.

Their prices are good anyways, but, dammit.... Apparently I should've called to ask if they had the products in that I wanted and then not placed my order until they got them in. I could've saved myself some money. :oops:

I meant to edit and not quote. Apparently I'm an idiot as well as unlucky.

You should call up and ask for customer service. Explain what the story is and maybe they will kick the shipping back to your card. Since you placed the order a while ago, you had already anticipated paying the S&H- technically a binding agreement. You never know though, you have nothing to lose so try it out!

As for the extra post... hey, it happens. :lol:

It's more aggravating than it is offending. Their prices on one of the products I ordered was a full $20 cheaper than anywhere else so I figure I can eat the $10 flat rate shipping and still be ahead. It was just something I figured was worth griping about to people on the Internet rather than my wife who will probably chastise me for spending money in the first place! :shock: :lol:

It's off my chest and I'm fine now! :mrgreen:

When I get my rifle back from the gunsmith (having the barrel cut down to 8 inches) I will post pics and you will see the two items I ordered to add to my little beauty!

These two items:

Kool add ons

When I want something the only justification is that I want it.
(don't tell my wife I said that) :)

Shipping is a racket.
