"From ordering to super fast delivery. Everything was great. My new favorite place to shop. Until the wife finds out. "
"Good price fast shipping quality company never ending problems, would recommend. "
"UPDATE: As elaborated in my reply below, Optics Planet has made it right with the exchange, and I have increased my rating (by 1 star) to 4 stars. I have no qualms continuing to purchase from them in the future.
I'm a repeat customer with Optics Planet. Normally they do a decent-to-good job of getting products out in a reasonable time period. I've had a couple orders in the past that took an inordinate amount of time to ship (over a week); but for the most part, they ship within a few days if they report that the item is in stock. Prices are better than average as long as you're using the always available 5% coupon (and even better with the occasional 10% coupons).
Something pretty alarming happened with one of my more recent orders: Despite paying for a NEW item (BCM Mod 0 Buttstock), I was shipped a USED item that had clearly been opened and re-sealed using standard clear shipping tape. My guess is that it was a customer return item that they shipped back out instead of sending it back to Bravo Company. This was disappointing because I did not pay for a used or open box item.
I have since returned the used item for an exchange, and hopefully the "new" one (arriving in a few days) will actually be new. The return/exchange process was automated and streamlined, though turnaround time was over a week before the replacement was shipped. I'll update this review, lower the star count, return for a complete refund, and of course never shop here again if I receive another used item.
Hopefully this is a one-of situation, and I won't get another USED product from Optics Planet sold as NEW. That said, another user in a private high-end AR group I am a member of described a similar event with an expensive piece of glass. Time will tell, I suppose."
"As usual, far exceeded expectations."
"With everything going to online shopping it is nice to order with ease and get some of the fastest shipping there is.
Have made mutliple purchases and they are the ones I can count on for getting it right. "
"OpticPlanet is my go to store of my firearm needs or anything they carry that I need. They shipped quickly and the purchase was executed perfectly and uneventful as it should be.
The SB Mini Brace and all of SB braces are made excellent. My first impression was this doesn't have a collar or screw to
tighten down. Slipped it over my pistol buffer tube and it holds in place perfect. With a bit of force you can adjust to make it even. It is lightweight and a reasonable price.
I had a battlecomp buffer tube that came out before the one that accepts the gear works Tail piece mod 1.
I wanted to shop off the buffer tube and this was perfect and is for any build.
OpticsPlanet carries a large selection of pistol braces and have purchased at least 4 different braces depending on the build.
Thanks OpticsPlanet."
"I bought a Luepold scope from OP. The costumer service was not notch. The salesman I dealt with on the phone was very knowledgeable and very courteous. Something you don’t find anymore. I would suggest and will continue buying from them. You cannot go wrong with OP and my hat is off to the costumer service department. Thank you. "
"Great selection great prices great products"
"Optics planet had what I needed when I needed it when all of the other competitors we're out of stock and on back order. The shipping was quick and geat communication with email updates of my order with tracking info. Keep up the good work O.P."
"OpticsPlanet had the best price, shipped quickly, and tracked. "
"i was in the market looking for laser light combo for a firearm that i recently purchased. after watching countless reviews, i found a couple that i was really interested in. well.. until i see the prices for them. oddly enough opticsplanet were selling the exact same product for easily half of the price. i found it very skeptical, thinking they were going to sell me a refurbished item, or worse, take my money and not get anything in return. Pleasant surprise, not only did i get my product brand new, it was shipped out the next day after i made the purchase. i will definitely do business again with opticsplanet."
"I understand every state has different laws so I send proof of the current law for auto knives for my state and if they can’t honor the current law cancel my order I received a cancellation email Immediately the response was quicker than the time it would have taken to read the information on the Wisconsin Knife Reform Law AB142 that went into effect April 14th 2015 You no longer have to be Law Enforcement or Military to own or purchase a Auto Knife If they don’t want to put any effort into confirming this then that’s unfortunate but there are many other sellers who do honor our laws and it is those businesses I will purchase from instead of wasting my time with OpticsPlanet "
