Misc Anyone else *still* waiting for HiCal?

Been getting the runaround since January. Last I called was told they should have them no later than May 22. Alas, order is still "Processing".

I just cancelled my order the other week for LAR15 mags. I was looking forward to using them, but then I realized I can buy the shorty mags + 3d print some bottoms, and then use a mag sleeve. It looks like a full size 30rnd mag now. I saved myself $200 from cancelling the order.

How easy was it to cancel? I've been waiting on them since January and now I don't seem to be getting answers to my emails anymore...

I just called them during their business hours. The guy that picked up was cool and he understood, he knows lots of us have been waiting months. I got a cancellation notice in my email and the money was returned to my bank the next day.

For the love of God, PHONE stores: anyone in retail will understand how dumb emails are in SMALL store fronts.

It will get read, most likely paused when people enter the store, swapped to another email when someone asks/phones a question, buried under yet another new email while the person away from the computer, ignored by another worker so as to not interrupt what is being replied to...

Etcetera!

Phone.

Phone.

Phone!

They are my local store. They run a skeleton crew of 2 people, with an odd 3rd person occasionally.

Firearm businesses are pretty slow if you hadn't noticed, with many closing their doors.

1 in the back working on guns, 1 up front. 2 up front if someone has another task to perform.

So if 1 guy is working the till and another is on the phone, just how URGENT of a response do you take your quiet email for?

If you want answers, PHONE the storefront.

Think I'll go the same route. Where to find the 3D print files for the bottoms?
