Del-Ton is very busy

I ordered a new D-T custom upper about 3 wks ago, just after the election (yeah yeah I know, poor timing, guilty as charged).

They are swamped with orders, over 3,000 pending and growing daily, per their CS lady. I hope for a January delivery. For orders placed today, they are saying up to 16+ weeks. Like everyone else, they also backordered on PMAGS. To their credit, they do post updates frequently on arfcom. :up:

Yeah, I ordered my kit on the 8th, and I'm assuming it wont ship for another few weeks.

It seems they are backordered on lots of stuff! I know they were having trouble getting their hands on any more mil-spec CTR stocks, but still had commercial in stock. I'll probably have them give me a deduct for the stock and order one from somewhere else. I dont foresee changing to the commercial CTR, as I've heard about problems with lock-up.

Reading the election polls in late Oct, I got my panic buying in before the big wave.

I ordered a lightweight barrel for a retro XM177E2 build...., and they sent a heavy/mid weight by mistake. It was the first problem I have ever had with DTI. They did send me a return tag for exchange quicky.

I also ordered a lower with the RRA two-stage trigger, it arrived just ten days after I placed the order. :up:

I ordered a kit on 11/06, and am still waiting. I am hoping that they are getting close to me...maybe this week.

Unless any of your kit is back ordered, I would think they'd be shipping you out any day now. My order was #22554, and I saw on arfcom where some guy who had order #21977 received his today, so if you ordered yours on the 6th, you've got to be deadly close!

UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE!!!!!

The very next day after I sent the heavy barrel back I had the correct LW barrel at my house! One Day & the correct barrel was in my hands.

I reckon Del-Ton shipped the exchange as soon as they knew that I had sent the other one back using their UPS return tag.

Folks that is first class service. Going the extra mile by fixing something ASAP is the sign of a good company. :D

poak, any updates? Just curious as my order says "Processing" but then has this note:

NOTE: This order has already shipped or has reached the final stages of processing. Therefore this order is no longer editable.

Which I placed the order just 2wks ago, so I know it is not shipped yet.

If you placed it 2wks ago, you'll probably be waiting a while! I think they are in the early/low 22000s now.

You'll get an email when it ships with tracking info. That message is probably just a generic boilerplate thing from their ecommerce software.

:hat:

I think they've limited the feature to edit/change your orders as I beleive it was messing w/ their inventory.

Poak,

You might check on the equipment exchange on ar15.com. Sometimes people can be a little pricey but sometimes you get a good deal.

I was looking for a 24 in bull upper... and a few days later it was on my doorstep. I got a good deal on it too.

Its for those of us that cant stand the wait.... even for a 2nd or 3rd AR. :)

Yeah, I've got everything but my upper for my middy now, and I'm one of the lucky few that will have their Del-Ton kit before Christmas!

I AM however starting to look for parts for my SPR build, and have been looking around on the EE a bit.

What's your username on arfcom? Mine is: brace yourself... "poak".

I've been watching the EE as well. Missed out on 2 "deals" already, oh well. If I get one before the Del-Ton order ships it will be canceled, otherwise I guess I'll be getting a nice birthday present (note my b-day is in March :) )

Hopefully I'll be having another stripped lower coming in soon, if so, I'll be on the lookout for 2 uppers. Yeah, I'm not asking for much am I? :P
